La clásica moda masculina / Classic men's fashion

Roger Sterling (John Slattery) and Don Draper (Jon Hamm) from "Mad Men".

 Hay algo que me encanta de la moda masculina: nunca cambia demasiado. Lejos de resultar aburrida, siempre conserva una base elegante y clásica, con accesorios más o menos extravagantes que den el toque final. Estaba pensando sobre esto después de ver mis dos series favoritas del momento: "Mad Men" y "Boardwalk Empire". Si comparas sus respectivos looks de ejecutivo y gángster, no verás una gran diferencia. Los chalecos y pañuelos de Roger Sterling son tan emblemáticos como los trajes estampados de Chalky White. Y, aunque hoy en día gran parte de esa elegancia se ha perdido (especialmente en lo que se refiere a la moda joven), aún pueden verse algunos de esos dandies eternos caminando por las calles, sintiéndose seguros de sí mismos en sus trajes perfectamente cortados.

There is something I love about men's fashion: it never changes a lot. Far from being boring, it always keeps a classic, elegant basis, with more or less extravagant accesories that give the final touch. I was wondering about this after watching my two favourite TV shows of the moment: "Mad Men" and "Boardwalk Empire". If you compare their respective business and gangster's looks, you will not see a great difference. Roger Sterling's vests and neckerchiefs are as emblematic as Chalky White's patterned suits. And, although nowadays most of that elegance has gone (especially regarding young's fashion), you can still see some of those endless dandies walking by the streets, feeling confident in their perfectly cut suits.
