View submission: Unpopular Opinion: Contrast Collar Shirts Can be Ivy/Trad/Preppy
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.

His style wasn't at all preppy or Ivy or Trad. He did not want to look like other men. He wanted to be noticed and talked about. He succeeded.
