Now this guy knows how to beat the heat with style. He was parked here on the corner of Canal and Royal streets on a partly sunny and humid Friday afternoon.
White crop slacks in linen (or maybe cotton). Ah, yeah! Is all I have to say. I have never seen a man in cropped pants but I like it and clearly it’s a smart choice in hot weather. HOWEVER, you better know what you’re doing and he does. He’s paired the slacks with a loose fitting lavender short-sleeve shirt, untucked. Lavender is so nice with white – very summer. White shoes are A-OK after Memorial Day. To top it all off he’s wearing a hat, which by the way is not so unusual in NOLA. The Pork Pie is his hat of choice. Pork Pie was a go-to style for Jazz saxophonist Lester Young. I wonder if my dapper friend is a musician.
Sure this look is unusual but he pulls it off and hey, we’re in New Orleans where everyone marches to the beat of their own drum.
More NOLA Street Style coming up next week.
