For girls, a twinset means a cute cashmere tank and cardigan to go with. Or killer panties with a matching bra.
Guys? Jackets that matches their pants. Like it could get any more boring. Let Kent Nielsen help you break the monotony. The Chicago prodigy has designed charming sets of shirts and ties that have been cut from the same cloth. Literally. This, of course, solves the eternal question of what to wear with a vertically striped shirt. You buy the match: a diagonally striped tie. Shirts come in three styles: the American cut for traditionalists, the midcut for guys wanting a slimmer fit, and the European cut for metros who’ve completely embraced the less-is-more mantra. All have the requisite debonair details: fly fronts, French cuffs, and larger collars. What to wear with them? Nielsen has that covered, too, with flat-front worsted-wool dress pants that look just as dapper with snug sweaters and cotton tees as they do Nielsen’s shirts, ties, and jackets. Now. How to go from office hours to after-hours? Easy again. Just remove corporate noose. And get ready to tie one on.Available at Jake, 3740 North Southport Avenue, between Waveland Avenue and Grace Street (773-929-5253); and Bynum & Bang, 2143 West Division Street, between Hoyne Avenue and Leavitt Street (773-384-4546).
