French Accents
The Polo Gazette, Issue N˚ 9
Who better to get some unexpected hometown style ideas from than team Polo in Paris? Whether it’s what to wear to the office, on a walk, a coffee at Ralph’s, or window-shopping on the Rue de Seine, here’s how to give Polo style a particularly French twist
Q: What do you love about Polo as a Parisian?
A: It’s the only brand with designs that translate beyond the clothing, and it always comes out well.
Q: What’s American about your style?
A: Polo is easy and cool—that’s American, to me. You can completely change a look just by adding an accessory or changing the pants to a pair of denim.
Q: What is one of your top styling hacks?
A: Never neglect the socks.
Q: What’s the most American thing in your wardrobe and how do you wear it?
A: A green and white souvenir jacket. I like to wear it with pleated chinos, my Double RL cowboy hat, and a pair of deck shoes.
Q: What about your style is Polo and what about it is Parisian?
A: My style is very Polo in the way that I mix things: a pair of hiking boots with flannel pants, military cargo pants with an oxford shirt and tie, distressed jeans with a blazer. My Parisian touch is the muted color palette.
Q: What is one of your style hacks?
A: A plaid shirt over a classic shirt and a tie underneath. I put it all together with a classic trouser. I also love to wear a khaki safari jacket with a turtleneck.
Q: What’s the most American thing in your wardrobe and how to you wear it?
A: Native American jewelry. I love to wear it with formal suiting.
