THE PANOPLY

• The gray suit for all the occasions can be worn crumpled ( ) .
• The dark blue suit with fine stripes. The fine stripes give the good knack. Attention with choosing the tissue and the tailor well to prevent that the stripes do not cross, if the costume itself, is cross ! Usable for the cocktails, dinners,ceremonies, burials, etc...
• The dark grey suit with tennis stripes is younger and often goes right with a waistcoat, an English collar shirt(buttoning under leg) and a tie club. This is the costume of predilection for a banker, a golden boy or a young director.
• The prince of Wales. The knack is once more in fabric. Pass key, it will be merrier with a fine blue or red stripe. Less stilted than the precedent, excellent for the cocktails " outgoing of the office" or for a professional lunch. Plain shirt or with fine stripes, tie with paisley patterns or Hermès.
• The tweed suit. Must have to seem old and taking into account its price, it generally is! In Harris tweed quite thick, it goes in all circumstances. The colours most carried are containing chestnut, of green, grey or blue. Right jacket, with two slits, trousers with pockets postpones with reductions. The leather elbows are not allowed unless it is really necessary to mask a hole.
• The Summer suit. Beige or kaki. Only tolerance for young people, the costumes in flax can be pale blue or yellow straw.

• The blazer. It plays with the style of each one, with the moments of the day, but is played of the modes. Right or crossed, with gold or silver buttons, but with no hem nor any initial buttons (avoid the initials of RATP, SNCF...). Goes preferably in summer or mid-season, with a small pocket (Charvet, Christian Dior Mister). Line and tie, shirt open collar and scarf or Lacoste goes with it. No shield unless really forming part of the club in question !
• The jacket in seersuckers. Fine blue and white stripes are of rigour. Very light, to carry with light trousers. It is not necessary to carry it with a rower if you 're not an english student !
• The tweed jacket. Of the same matter as the costume, buy good quality to carry it a long time, until using several pairs of leather elbows. As essential in winter than the summer blazer, it must be thick and must go agreeably, when the coldness arrives, with a pullover without handle.
• Smoking. Particularly used by the BCBG which have all theirs, it is often passed by from generation to generation. Crossed with hem of silk and waistcoat, it is black, without imagination and never of another color. The white spencer only goes in summer.

• Trousers. They do not reveal your anatomy. A Jean 501, courdroy trousers (not courdroy jeans, Scottish trousers is the essential of your relaxed wardrobe. Trousers kaki or beige, out of cotton or whipcord, will complete, with strict grey trousers, your winter and summer uniform.

Coat and overcoat

• The loden cloth. Green preferably, dark blue or beige, the Austrian loden cloth make fury. At the city as in the countryside, to go to the office, the mass or hunting, it is one of rare general-purpose clothing. If you only have one coat, it must be a loden !
• The overcoat. Dark blue, hair of camel, it is traditional, right or crossed, out of wool and cashmere and teases or roof of the luxury all in cashmere. A cover English coat (without velvet collar) or a full coat with grey rafters is regarded as originals.
• Raincoat Burberrys is the only one that we carry on for its lining. Trench or raglan, it is beige or a similar colour. The military raincoats, often bought as second hand, do not miss style.
• Wind-breakers. The fashion of the wind-breaker, parka or reporter jacket reached the BCBG. These dress goes for the weekend. The wind-breaker goes with a scarf in cashmere, red, dark blue or green loden. Glasses with mounting scale supplement the panoply if we adds it velvet trousers and Weston shoes with " sport " soles .The leather jackets aviator style with collar of fur (Mac Douglas) or deer with Scottish lining (Good Life) are completely allowed.

Shirts

• The essential part because the shirt is the Man ! Not too curved, nor floating either, out of cotton or poplin, never into synthetic, its collar will be with at the Italian way with short points, collar buttoned or buttoned under leg as the style English, linked, light blue, white or pale pink. "Fil à Fil" and "Oxford" are essential alternatives. The initials embroidered on the left under the chest are discrete and hidden by the jacket ( ) .
  During the weekend, the Scottish shirts or with squares "Viyella", the "Oxford" shirts with collar buttoned, sleeves long or short, according to the season, are required. "Lacoste, Fred Perry or Ralph Lauren" are carried without reserve.
