I don't think of myself as a menswear blogger so much as a style blogger, the primary difference being that I wear far fewer sportcoats. However, there are days when a trad look suits my mood and it's on those days that I really obsess over my look's details - a trad look is
all about the details. Having spent all of last year in an interior design studio, I'm sure you can imagine one detail that really gets me going is fabric. I'm a very tactile person and a good textile is always a pleasure to find. That's why I was so happy to discover Natural Born Elegance, a new line designed by Julian Cerruti using fabrics from the Italian textile mill Lanificio Cerruti. Natural Born Elegance is an accessories company specializing in neckwear. Their ties and bowties are not only luxurious, but
sooo cute! I'm seen here wearing a cashmere double-bow bowtie from the line - you can see a selection of the style
here. They're just brilliant, aren't they? I love the way mine goes so seamlessly with my vintage Brooks Brothers shirt, vintage blue velvet blazer and cashmere scarf. Colors and textures and subtle patterns, oh my! Check out my interview with Julian Cerruti below, in which we discuss the inspiration behind the brand, how fashion is like food and plans for expanding the line.
