As the year winds down and the temperature dips, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how we embrace style and the stories we tell through our clothing.

In my latest blog, Take Ivy, Why Bother?, I explore what Ivy Style really means—why it still matters and how it goes beyond just a look. If you’ve ever wondered what makes this style timeless, this blog post dives into the mindset and authenticity behind it.

“Ivy style has always evolved with the times, reflecting cultural and societal shifts.”

I had the absolute pleasure to chat with Aaron Chang, a South Korean illustrator whose Ivy-inspired artwork has redefined classic menswear for a modern audience. I’ve loved his work for years, and his account is a lookbook of endless inspiration.

We discussed his journey into Ivy style, the launch of his brand Ivy Boys Archive, and how he’s blending tradition with fresh creativity.

The collar roll is everything. That generous, unstructured curve gives a shirt its character—relaxed, effortless, and full of personality. It’s not about precision or stiffness; it’s about that perfect, natural arc that brings the whole look together. A small detail, but one that speaks volumes to those who know.

Here’s some styling I put together at .store

I started with the Lavenham Quilt Liner Jacket in olive—expertly made in England and rooted in the military history of liner jackets. Its classic quilting, inspired by Lavenham’s original horse rugs, makes it a standout for the autumn/winter season. This jacket is lightweight yet warm, perfect for layering, and moves easily between casual and more refined looks. The boxy fit, stepped hem, ribbed cuffs, and practical details like press studs and patch pockets give it a modern, functional edge.

For the base, I went with the Sugar Cane 1955z Model Straight Leg Selvedge Denim Jeans in One Wash Indigo. These are a brilliant take on the 1955 Levi’s 501 model, featuring a straight leg, a fuller rise, and the iconic zip fly that was a game-changer for the East Coast market. Made from custom-spun Japanese denim woven with Zimbabwe cotton, they’ve got great character, with hidden back pocket rivets for added authenticity.

Both pieces are easy to wear and work together seamlessly for a mix of practicality and style—find them now at Auteur Store.

Never bored of cord, especially when it’s a cord Oxford by it’s a real thing of beauty, and proves a white Oxford can be fun.

I was really happy with this pairing, it’s the result of just playing about a little. I’m wearing a 60/40 mountain parka, cap, vintage tie, chinos and Weejuns.

Japan did not just imitate American style—it refined it, preserved it, and reinvented it for a new audience.” – W. David Marx, Ametora (a must-read).

This Kamakura button-down shirt embodies that ethos, crafted from heavy 7oz Japanese denim. The faded, rugged look—achieved through a special fabric treatment—echoes the charm of well-worn jeans. Made in Japan, it’s a perfect blend of Ivy tradition and Japanese innovation.

Dustin Hoffman has always been an Ivy Style icon to me. When I think of him, I think of tweed jackets, jeans with the perfect break, tennis shoes, and polo shirts.

I dive into how Hoffman’s unique take on Ivy Style still influences fashion today, from his portrayal of Benjamin Braddock in The Graduate to how he made classic American style accessible for everyone.

Some styling for .store the other day. I’m wearing two Jackman pieces, both crafted with incredible attention to detail in Japan. These pieces perfectly blend classic American sportswear influences—a style I’ve been hooked on for years.

The grey Loopwheel sweatshirt stands out with its signature softness, made possible by vintage loopwheel machines from 1949 that modern technology just can’t replicate. The fit and feel are unbeatable, making it one of my favorite staples.

The MK UF Jacket in Navy, inspired by a classic baseball jersey, combines the warmth of melton wool with a sleek, unlined design. Its minimal look makes it easy to layer over thicker pieces without losing any style.

When in doubt, keep it classic. ✌🏻
