Railroad Stripes - The Gentlemen Way

November 20, 2013

Menswear Inspired Outfit

I am sure you have seen tons of street-style photos and bloggers wearing their long overalls, but I bet you haven't see many wearing overalls with railroad stripes. I think they're so classic, mainly when coming from the old American denim manufacturer Round House. The first celebrity I saw wearing overalls from this maker was Jennifer Aniston on an episode of "Friends," then Neil Patrick Harris on "How I Meet Your Mother". I found these wide leg and all worn out overalls at one of my favorite vintage shops in town (Lucky Strike). When I wear my other overalls to go out, I try to give them a polished look and this time I opted to give these engineer-style overalls a masculine vibe. My bold color coat and the matching feather in my new porkpie hat added a fun contrast to this men-inspired outfit. And yes, I like the look of how pink lips look against red…we don't always have to match our lip color with our clothes, right? By the way, due to different lighting in this photoshoot, the red in the coat looks different in every picture, however, the picture that represents the actual color the most is the last one.

Yo estoy segura que ustedes han visto muchas fotos de estilo callejero y de blogeras con petos, pero les apuesto que no han visto muchas llevando petos con rallas de ferrocarril como se les llama aquí en los Estados Unidos. Estos petos que llevo son viejitos y antiguos que la verdad que me encantan porque son de estilo ancho, los encontré en mi tienda de ropa antigua preferida aquí en mi zona (Lucky Strike). La manufacturera que los hace (Round House) ya tiene mas de 100 años de funcionar aquí en este país y sus productos de lona como petos y vaqueros han sido llevados por famosos como Jennifer Aniston en episodios de "Friends" y otro para mencionar Neil Patrick en su show "How I Meet Your Mother" y muchos mas. 
A mi me encantaron porque la tela ya se siente suave de viejitos que están y uno puede hacer de todo con estos overoles. Me decide llevarlos de una forma masculina, pero refinada. El color radiante de mi abrigo y las plumas de mi sombrero porkpie, le dieron un toque divertido a mi atuendo masculino. Mis labios rosados fueron el color inesperado en este conjunto, pero que al final me encantó como quedó en las fotos. Y hablando de colores,  el color de mi abrigo varía en todas las fotos debido a la iluminación de diferentes escenarios, pero la foto que representa exactamente el color del abrigo es la ultima.

Back to civilization enjoying the wonderful weather and doing some shopping for the holidays.
De regreso a la civilización disfrutando la temporada y de compras para las festividades.
Overalls with tie
Get the look:
Coat/AbrigoZara. This from Topshop is as awesome and also oversized style.
Shirt/CamisaTheory "Larissa." The Perfect white shirt.
Tie/Corbata: Pierre Cardin. This one from Armani Collezioni (on sale) is simple and classic, and if you like the tomboy style like me, you could give it plenty use.
Overalls/PetosRound House "Lot #45," Unfortunately they only carry for men and youth from 8-18, which most of ladies of my build can fit in youth size 16 to 18 or the smallest men size for the tallest gals. My overalls (34x32) are so old and they've probably been washed a thousand times, so they are soft and shrunken. You also can check Duluth Trading Co. brand, which they carry women styles.
Brogues/Mocasines: Jeffrey Campbell (sold out), however this version by Kurt Geiger is very similar.
Bag/Bolso: Kate Spade. This is a similar version by Kate Spade as well.
Hat/Sombrero: Scala. This is a similar style by Scala as well.
Sunglasses/Gafas: Kate Spade. I am loving this pair by Marc by Marc Jacobs.
Ring/Anillo: Forever21
