Wearing:

This faux sheepskin, hooded shawl wrap jacket may not look much flat on your PC screen, but imagine wearing it on a winter morning, with black cigarette sweatpants, Porsche-gray Hermes Oran sandals, and pocketfuls of dog kibble…

Hating:

Bespoke Linen Shirt Dress

Kristopher — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 17:43:53 +0000

Wearing:

Whenever I wear one of my bespoke shirt dresses, a man stops me and asks me if I’m wearing a dress or a shirt. Chicks look me up and down, and maybe ask me where I bought my shirt dress. I never tell them, but I dig you so much that I’ll share: I’ve had them made by Belgian-born shirtmaker Freddy Vandecasteele.

When Freddy Vandecasteele first measured me, I told him I wanted a shirt dress that fit well, but short and loose enough that it might be mistaken for a boyfriend’s buttondown. My first bespoke shirt dress was Oxford blue cotton, and the second was black linen. Both had a “KD” monogram that matched the fabric. I loved the Oxford blue bespoke shirt dress for its classic menswear vibe, but I loved the linen more for its minimal maintenance: it looks lovely wrinkled.

So for this July’s Basque Country trip, I had Freddy Vandecasteele make me three more shirt dresses, in linens in classic menswear colors…

Black Fleece Pleated Dress

Kristopher — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 23:53:48 +0000

Hating:

I’m a sucker for A-line silhouettes, but I’m not sure I’ve seen a worse way to blow $500 than this Black Fleece pleated dress.

Unless you gave a gay man $500 to tell you you’ve got a figure that should be hidden under a tent, you’re more a girl than a woman, and you’re bad with money.

Wait, same difference…

Black Fleece Pointelle Polo Shirt

Kristopher — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 17:29:06 +0000

Wanting:

I saw this Black Fleece pointelle polo shirt in San Francisco’s Black Fleece boutique — it’s sheer and subtle S-E-X.

So what’s keeping me from buying it? I’m not sure what I’d wear it with, since I don’t sport pants.

I suppose I could wear this Black Fleece polo with just a pair of Giuseppes. Kristopher Dukes, Inc. has Half-Dressed Fridays at the office…

Black Fleece Gray Shift Dress

Kristopher Dukes — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 15:53:27 +0000

Wearing:

I didn’t mean to turn my back you on, darlings.

I took a vacay from blogging dilettantism to be an actual dilettante. But I’m back.

And I’m still stuck on my uniform of bespoke silk jersey tank dresses, but I figured I ought to own at least one dress that hits below the knees, and this Black Fleece gray shift dress was a steal on Gilt Groupe.

Plus, it’s because this Black Fleece gray shift dress covers you up completely that that button-down back looks like an invitation…

Kent Double-Sided Clothing Brush

Kristopher — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:54:02 +0000

Wanting:

I thought a black German Shepherd named Major Dukes would go well with vintage Hermes bags, an all-black 911, and five-inch heels. And he does.

Major digs my uniform — he’s licked my Giuseppe suede boots during dinner, rubbed his nose into my made-to-order wrap coat, and got me to pocket dog treats in my Louis Vuitton Mack.

Maybe I should invest in a Kent double-sided clothing brush…
