A regular day at work calls for an extra dose of individuality. I'm wearing a classic style from the 1930's.

Obviously the Knickerbockers are the central focus, I purchased som broad cloth pants with a texture I liked for $8.00 from the Goodwill and tailored them myself to be Knicks.

Ill do a tutorial later this month on how to tailor pants into Knickerbockers adding Buckles Buttons and or Elastic.

The best pairing with Knickers of course is a textured vest. This green "Club Room" vest came from the Salvation Army for $5.00.

The Oxblood Shirt and Tie both came from Burlington at their standard prices of $19.99 and $9.99 respectively.

The Beautiful plaid textured blazer is best found for the amazing price of $8.00 at the Goodwill. find your size and you are instantly classic European style.

The belt is a standard Oxblood color and purchased from Burlington for $12.00

The Socks are critical when wearing Knickerbockers, They must be tall, textured and good quality support stitching. These are Green and Oxblood striped Timberland socks $8.99 for a three pack at Burlington.

These shoes are from the Goodwill stores in brand new condition however had blemishes which explains why they were donated. I love the blemishes for the 1930's look it adds authenticity.

Matching is overrated, don't be afraid to mix it up and do what your eye gravitates towards.
