Patterns for Fall: Glen Plaid

The ranks of gentlemen abound with standard suits in grays and blues.  Plain fabrics have a long and distinguished career serving the city and business professional.  Their simplicity and conservative temperament allow for broad application.  Though the monotony is occasionally interrupted by stripes or a different color, the sophisticated man may yet desire a subtle alternative.

If you are such a man, look to unique patterns.  In particular, I draw your attention to one appropriate weave for the fall season -- glen plaid.  The pattern combines black and white yarn in an intricate windowpane design.  A classic cloth, it has been consistently fashioned by many traditional style
icons.

The pattern boasts several virtues.  First, the black and white weave appears gray even from a short distance, thus appearing to be a traditional color.  At the same time, the casual observer quickly detects the distinctive pattern.  It is a sign that the wearer has made a studied selection.

The glen plaid pattern expresses subtle sophistication, unlike the "loud" statement evident from the chalk stripe windowpane below.
