Well, being white is cool again. Seems like most of the current trends are taking a cue from the past, that is, the look of old money. I've always loved this aesthetic, regardless of the class implications. In my opinion, though, these kinds of clothes are best worn by those who are able to create a fresher, more contemporary look ... otherwise, it makes for boring dowdiness.
New lines like Rag & Bone, Band of Outsiders, Filippa K, and Trovata all retain wonderful, nostalgic details of older lines like Fred Perry, Burberry, Aquascutum, and Brooks Brothers. I feel like bridging the gap between old and new is key in wearing this look.
