Summer Fashion Musts
Here’s Steel’s & Dave’s guide to this summer’s must-have’s
- Seersucker [classic]
- White Linen Suits [will literally never go out of style. God himself wears these.]
- Polo shirts with animals embroidered on them (like Izod, Lacoste, etc.)
- Any male short with at least 4 inches of skin above the knee
- Espadrilles
- DIY/Home-made jorts and tank tops
- Overalls. Just great for people of all ages. But not sexy overalls. Just regular ones.
- Athletic shorts +black crew socks + slip-on men’s sandals
- Mom jeans. High waisted, of course. Bonus points for pleats or acid/stone wash.
- Puff paint t-shirts, XXL or bigger.
OTC Friendship
- Captain Jack Aubrey and Dr. Stephen Maturin. Who are these guys? Only the greatest friends in all of literature, that’s all.
- Han Solo and Chewbacca. Renegade and wookie who owes a life debt. What more could you ask for.
- Seinfeld and Costanza. The very model of neurotic, outraged, nebbish friendship.
- Elliot and ET. Interspecies comraderie at its finest.
- Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat. Not all friendships are healthy. Remember that.
Steel also wants to recommend Charlotte Delbo’s amazing Holocaust memoir, Auschwitz and After.
