Laird from 'Carpoolers'
Being a single, carpooling suburban dentist certainly doesn't seem sexy. Or stylish. Or endearing. But somehow Laird, of ABC's new Tuesday comedy "Rock & Republic. It's virtually impossible to buy a bad pair.
But Laird's real "look" comes from his constant use of sport coats. While we can't condone leather sport coats -- not because of a cruelty to animals viewpoint, but because they offer a "Shaft"/"Barney Miller" vibe that leaves us queasy -- Laird makes it work with a heather gray V-neck pullover and a striped button-down. Vintage Red currently makes a perfect whipstitched leather blazer that's fully lined and features notched lapels and a two-button front. Brown sport coats also allow for a variety of shirt options: White, black and every earth tone work perfectly, and, like Laird, you can move between dress shirt and dress T-shirt effortlessly without sacrificing style.
We suggest a vintage-look graphic T-shirt from Black Hearts Brigade in a swamp tone over a pair of Rock & Republic Floyds, bottomed off with ECCO's New York Bicycle Toe oxfords. You'll look so good that everyone will want to carpool with you.
