We know corduroy blazers are associated more with dusty classrooms and old guys who smell like cigars than of-the-moment menswear. But think about this: Style masters like Wes Anderson (and his BFF Fantastic Mr. Fox) look killer in it. And so can you if you ditch the elbow patches, steer clear of a fusty suited version, and swap out the expected oxford shirt underneath. The best way to wear the cloth of kings is with a slim teal turtleneck, realer-than-real-deal denim, and some movie-star shades. The high neck and contrasting color of the turtleneck will make you look long, lean, and full of grab-the-world-by-its-balls gusto. Pairing your cords with deep blue denim instead of bland-as-toast khakis will steer you clear out of old-guy territory. And the shades, well, those are just to hide the under-eye circles you’ve acquired from your constant and overwhelming ambition. See more at GQ.
