A Fox in Men’s Clothing

Shipley & Halmos Spring Collection

Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls who do … whatever.

We think girls should dress like boys and boys should dress in Shipley & Halmos.

Jeff Halmos and Sam Shipley feel the same — their first collection of men’s basics is super stylish without falling into dandy territory.

The former Trovata designers left to create their own line — with a few vacation stops along the way. Maybe all that in and out of suitcases is what inspired them to create a tightly edited collection that goes from day to night. Their basic black suit is perfect for your man but is cut skinny enough to look good on you.

And who doesn’t love a perfect man’s cashmere sweater?

Boys. And girls. And the boys and girls who love them.
