Tom Wolfe, a Richmond, VA native, cut his teeth at St. Christopher’s School before heading off to Washington & Lee and then Yale. He was deeply shaped by that genteel southern trad/preppy/ivy word he grew up in. And let’s not forget the signature look: the iconic white suit, often paired with a sharp blue shirt that added just the right touch of flair.
