My Dad possessed many admirable traits and talents but one of the least acknowledged was his sense of style. What I find interesting is that his sense of style was firmly rooted in an absolute and total disinterest in it. Therein lies the secret of his genius. Consider the examples below. The first outfit nonchalantly throws together, in perfect harmony, a faux fur vest over a half zip sweatshirt and a Korean War veterans baseball cap. Notice how relaxed and downright elegant he looks. The very definition of panache!
Next we have an Easter outfit, perfect for a photo op with the Easter bunny. Again, notice the ease at which he combines a camouflage rain hat with a quilted plaid hoodie. It takes confidence to pull off this outfit and Dad had fashion confidence galore. He did much of his best shopping at his favorite store, Ocean State Job Lot. His complete lack of pretense contributed to the overall appeal of his fashion statements. I know he would be proud to be recognized as a fashion icon.
