| Is ‘Uniform Dressing’ Turning Men Into Clones? - The Wall Street Journal Posted: 18 Dec 2019 07:03 AM PST  THIS FALL, the San Francisco basics brand Everlane introduced "Uniform," a collection of 12 menswear essentials that are sold separately but designed to work together. It's the fashion equivalent of a paint-by-numbers kit, a way of dressing that demands minimal thought. The resulting outfit combinations look serviceably polished, though not pointedly stylish. Put on this white oxford shirt, these blue chinos and this black bomber jacket. Voilà, you're a graphic designer who creates labels for craft beer bottles or a marketing assistant at Google. In short, you look clean and up-to-date but uncomplicated, which is how so many men want to dress right now. " 'Some feel that adhering to a uniform squelches the very spirit of style.' " "I really want to clear my life to make it so that I have to make as few decisions as possible," said Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg when asked in 2014 why he wore jeans and a T-shirt or hoodie each day. For him and his many uninspired, uniform-wearing disciples, clothing-decision fatigue is real. As I write this, the "new arrivals" section at e-commerce site Mr Porter boasts 2,908 items. My own closet contains so many clothes I'd rather calculate Goldbach's conjecture than figure out how many outfit combos lie in its depths. Uniform-focused brands give men with option overload an escape route. Like Everlane, Esntls and New York's Uniform (a separate company unrelated to Everlane) offer slight variations on the vanilla clothing-essentials model.  Wardrobe NYC, whose catchphrase is "modern luxury wardrobes," is the most prescriptive of the bunch. This two-year-old startup sells its clothes in groupings labeled "Street," "Sport" or "Tailored." Within each, men can choose to buy either four or eight companionable pieces. The four-piece "Tailored" bundle (a commitment at $1,500) includes a black blazer, a shirt, a long sleeved T-shirt and trousers. It looks like a "Reservoir Dogs" starter kit. The eight-piece "Tailored" bundle (an even steeper $3,500) throws in an overcoat, a hoodie, a cardigan and an additional pair of pants. All eight harmonize together seamlessly and unprovocatively. Lee King, 50, a former analyst in North Wale, Penn., turned to Wardrobe's model after one too many missteps at the department store. "I'd go to stores, something would catch my eye, I'd buy it, I'd get it home and it doesn't go with anything. Like 'What the hell do I wear this with?'" He no longer worries, maintaining a curated selection of 24 items in shades of black, gray, blue and white. "I don't like spending too much time figuring out what I'm going to wear," he added. Clothes from all the aforementioned brands are clean, well-cut—and nothing new. "The crew neck T-shirt or the chino or a rinsed jean—these are things that have been in the men's fashion space for over 30 years," said Nate Peltonen, senior merchant at Everlane, referring to Uniform's designs, which all cost under $100 and come with a 365-day guarantee. For some men, adhering to a uniform squelches the very spirit of style. "The fun part of dressing up is getting to express myself and developing my own personal taste," said Gavin McLaughlin, 32, a software sales consultant in Portland, Ore. On the day we spoke, he wore a coat, jeans and a black sweatshirt. Not a particularly bold outfit, but one shaded with idiosyncrasies. His coat had a strong black-and-white houndstooth pattern and his jeans were whiskered from wear. His philosophy: There's no one right answer for how to dress. Even the brands pushing the uniform concept seem aware of this. The hard-liners at Wardrobe recently yielded, and began selling the pieces individually on MatchesFashion. If you want just the shirt from the "Denim" batch, it's yours for $162. Everlane, Esntls and Uniform have always allowed folks to buy items individually, though on social media, these brands show the pieces styled together. Mr. Peltonen noted that few men have actually bought all 12 of Everlane's Uniform items at once. Ian York, 25, a photographer and analyst for a marketing company in San Francisco, is more typical of Everlane's customers. He bought a few pairs of chinos, a bomber and a shirt jacket from the Uniform collection. "I'm not head-to-toe everything," he said. He likes the Uniform pieces, just not enough to make them his uniform. Write to Jacob Gallagher at Jacob.Gallagher@wsj.com Copyright ©2019 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

| Frankel, Dr. Milton - Press of Atlantic City Posted: 17 Dec 2019 09:00 PM PST Frankel, Dr. Milton, - 95, of Margate, passed away at home with his family by his side on December 16th. He was born in North Philadelphia at St. Agnes Hospital to Harry and Bat Sheva Frankel. He was the youngest of nine and the family was very remarkable, emigrating from Russia. They lived above their store, Frankel's later named Jules, who was named for his brother. The Frankel family had a keen business sense working selling flowers, newspapers, and snuggies. Milton showed great respect for his parents and never talked back. He treated his in-laws the same way. He graduated Central High School Class 178 with Bachelor of Arts degree and was on the Barnwell Honor Society. Milton went into the Army Air Corps as an operations officer becoming a Private first class with Squadron A, 563rd Army Airforce. His commander in charge was James Stewart, who later went on to become an actor. While serving, he was one of the last people to see Glenn Miller's band before he vanished. Milton returned following the war and graduated from Temple University in 1948 with a degree as a surgeon podiatrist. After graduation, Milton decided he would go into the family business, which was a chain of men's clothing shops in Philadelphia called Jules Men's Shop. They opened 60 years ago in Atlantic City, where he worked beside his loving wife, Shirley, and operated it for 40 years until 1992 when it closed. He was very well respected in the men's clothing industry and introduced such brands in the area as Levi Strauss, Calvin Klein, IZOD, and Hugo Boss. Milton was always fashion oriented and on the cutting edge. Following the closing of Jules, he spent his winters in Boynton Beach and enjoyed his hobbies including golf where he had a three handicap, the stock market, ping pong, dancing and swing music, and playing bridge. Milton is survived by his wife of 66 years, Shirley (nee: Josephs), sons, Alan and Henry, six grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Synagogue services will be held Thursday 10 am at Beth El Synagogue, 500 N. Jerome Avenue, Margate. Interment to follow at the Rodef Sholom Cemetery, Egg Harbor Twp. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions in his memory may be made to the Friends of the IDF, www.fidf.org/, the Jewish National Fund, www.jnf.org, or Beth El Synagogue, or the charity of the donor's choice. Arrangements entrusted to ROTH-GOLDSTEINS' MEMORIAL CHAPEL, Atlantic City. www.rothgoldsteins.com  |
