More Men Should Dress Like This
After stumbling across this mouth watering photo of a young Mick Jagger, l realized just how lucky I am to be a young single girl living in Brooklyn. I am fortunate enough to be in the presence of many fine young males who tap into elegant Muses like Mr. Jagger for their everyday style inspirations. However, being the insatiable young thing that I am, I want more!
Gentlemen, it all has to start with the shoes. The weather is warming slightly, the pavement is rarely wet so there are no excuses. Slip into a fresh pair of oxfords and allow the style to fill your being from bottom to top. Let’s take a look at some examples, shall we?
These sleek Oxford Derby Shoes from Mark Mcnairy are sure to usher in a title wave of feminine attention
Perhaps you are a dirty fellow trying to keep it clean. Try these elegant Walk Over Derby Oxfords in White.
You can even step it up a few extra notches with these luxurious Calfskin Saddle Oxfords from Alden.
I can see it now… walking down the street to the flea market on a warm Spring day, drifting amidst a sea of dapper gentlemen, The Stones “Sympathy for the Devil” playing in my head. Make my dream a reality! Don’t make me beg.

These days, I consider it a “win” if my date shows up in something other than flip flops or a dirty pair of sneakers.
But you’re young, sweetie. Just give it time. ;-)

Lysistrata. Lysistrata. That’s all I have to say about dates in flip flops.

I gotta say. . . this look does nothing for me. Maybe it’s the drastic foreshortening, I dunno, it just looks meh.
And THAT HAT. I can’t tell if it’s too big or too small, but it sure as hell ain’t the right size!!

They don’t make men’s haberdashery or male rock stars like they used to (David Bowie and Mick Jagger definitely knew how to pull it together, way back when. David Bowie still pulls it together now. Mick Jagger is a little too dependent on satiny nylon).
Anywho, the saddle oxford is my husband’s very favourite casual shoe. He’s had to hunt down every pair he’s ever owned, too–they are very difficult to find for some reason no one can fathom. If the shoes pictured indicate there’s a resurgence of the style, then we’ll be going shoe shopping very soon.

I do agree about the young Mick Jagger as the muse (and my goodness, I did not recognize him until labeled!), but I am compelled to point out that it is necessary to usher in a “tidal wave” and not a “title wave.”

tidal wave is a sensitive term at the moment.

don’t love the Mick look but I will comment that when I bought pair of saddle oxfords, I had more men drool over them than any pair of heels I ever owned.
