Well Dressed in New York

Sure, fall means fashion, but there’s no excuse for any old off-the-rack dacks. Should you be looking to add to your wardrobe this season, look no further than these homegrown designers, tailors and accessory makers. Auntie AmEx at the ready.


Sharp Suits: Duncan Quinn
Any sartorialist worth their threads will know that Duncan is the Downtown go-to for bespoke men’s suits, which channel traditional Saville Row tailoring with a hint of edge. You’ll have to allow up to eight weeks for custom orders – if you need to scratch your retail itch, browse his equally impressive RTW collection. 


Head Gear: Ellen Christine Couture
You don’t need to be a bride to appreciate Ellen Christine’s gorgeous headwear which has graced both runways and the most respected glossies. Come autumn, NY’s most stylish hit the streets in her glamorous hats (custom or off-the-peg), including embellished berets and classic gavroche caps fashioned in an array of fabrics and hues. Sarah-Jessica Parker is a fan and soon you will be too. 


Off the Cuff: The Missing Link
Owner Rodriguez is on hand with the perfect pair of cufflinks to complete your look at this glorious trove, situ’d in Chelsea’s Showplace Antique Center. Rummage through the epic collection of 10,000+ new and vintage cufflinks, which range from subtle studs to statement pieces, plus a standout selection of Art Deco enamels.
