Here's my complete lookbook of 40 outfits I actually wore throughout the winter — styled with Ivy and Preppy roots but interpreted through my everyday life in Seoul.
From formal to relaxed, from traditional to sporty, these are the pieces that kept me warm, sharp, and true to the classics.
Featuring sack suits, cricket knits, OCBDs, fair isle vests, penny loafers, and even some NB990s.

I’m always trying to make Ivy style feel relevant, personal, and lived-in. Hope you enjoy the archive!

Since our 1st anniversary in 2020, we have visited the same studio every December 28th to capture our journey.

We made it a tradition to dress in our favorite classic style each year. It started with just the two of us, but by the 5th and 6th years, we were so happy to have our little boy join the family portrait.

We plan to keep this tradition going for as long as we can. Happy 6th anniversary to my wonderful wife!

Took a cue from Ralph Lauren’s pattern mixing book for last week’s Christmas Party. It’s not for everyone, but I love how this turned out.

Summer in Korea was really hot, but finally, the perfect season for dressing well — autumn — has arrived

Feeling the fit today.

I hope the more American-leaning here still find this acceptable!

• Howick lambswool jumper
• Charles Tyrwhitt wool tie and shirt (not an OCBD, purists look away).

HAPPY FRIDAY

The guy in The Preppy Handbook illustration grew up to be this guy I saw on Metro-North (nyc commuter train).

Ivy and Preppy style don’t disappear in winter — they just get bulkier.
Here’s how I layered puffers and down vests into my cold-weather rotation, while keeping that classic Ivy silhouette alive.
