Ivy-Style Media Group Signs Sarah Cooney As Women’s Ivy Columnist
And Now A Word From Ivy Frontman Mr. Kevin Danyi on BB’s POCBD (pink oxford… you get it right?)
Kevin Danyi has lost more Ivy cred than I ever had. If you are unfamiliar, he was profiled here. He had an experience with Brooks’ Pink Oxford I thought was valuable to share, and maybe start a conversation about pink in general. The color, not the – Photo credit: Kevin Danyi Anyway, Mr. Danyi writes …
Will Trent – A TV Show That Lost Its Way
Editor’s Note: We have all enjoyed reading Mr. Grant’s work, so I wanted to make sure I said thank you to him. Thank you. The alleged TV drama on ABC and Hulu, Will Trent, is based on Karen Slaughter’s series of novels. Frankly, I have not read any of Ms. Slaughter’s novels, but I would …
A Rising Tide Lifts All Chinos
Before you say anything. Here’s the picture from this GQ article. Breathe and hear me out. Just wait a second. I know what you see. MC Hammer made chinos, right? And pleats and that one pair of shoes look like what was on Neil Armstrong during a famous walk he made. But look closer. See …
A Few Reflections On Ivy After All This
Having gone through what I just went through, and having had a truly scary number of people from the site reach out to me and tell me they are going or went through the same thing, as I get back behind the wheel here, I have some reflections on Ivy Style. The first myth, which …
The Wrong Way To Sell The Right Clothes
K, first, take a look at this article in Town & Country about how the prep aesthetic (don’t worry, you didn’t lose me, third paragraph down or so they conflate prep and Ivy) is taking over athleisure. The article is paywalled but you get one free if you mention my name. Actually you don’t have …
Covid-Era Aesthetic Has Ivy Roots
Editor’s Note: Please click here for the accompanying photo essay. DO NOT be concerned if you are not up to speed on the aesthetic phenomenon known as Dark Academia. It is an esoteric subculture which gained traction during the peaks and valleys of the Covid-19 pandemic. During those austere times, the DA aesthetic was of particular interest to …
OCBD’s For Women
… are remarkably hard to find. Which is weird because I think they look great, and I am offering up this paucity as a business opportunity for someone. Ivy has come back, and this niche is sooooo empty. For LL Bean, a woman’s oxford is a straight collar. In fact, for literally 99% of retailers, …
Of OCBD’s and a Conspiracy Theory
Editor’s Note: It is Mr. Grant’s week here and we are grateful. The cover image is a small puzzle, it’ll be solved in a second here by someone bright. It would be my guess that 5% of the visitors to this website have never heard of an OCBD. They probably stumbled onto Ivy Style, …
Of Plaids And Tartans
Editor’s Note: Hank Grant is one of those people who offered to step up when my family’s health went down. THANK YOU The textile known as Scottish tartan has long been associated with the traditional style of dress. Tartan sports coats, vests, and trousers are frequently worn to Christmas parties. Tartan ties and scarfs are …
Ivy Notes S2 E10
The Wall Street Journal is paywalled, so all of the following are interesting, but paywalled. And thank you to The Amazing Tom for sending these in. (Mitchell also sent in the first article, not not first – it’s not a race, just trying to give credit where credit is due. First, there’s a pretty good …
