The MSB Guide: Ivy League Style

Suave and sophisticated, Ivy League style wouldn’t be complete without the button-down Oxford shirt. Whether you go for blue, white or navy, the Oxford shirt is a must-have staple for laid-back, sartorial style. Paired with either chinos or smart shorts, a crisp Oxford shirt will make any outfit look clean-cut and effortlessly stylish. Style with the handsome luxury Paolo 3 briefcase and penny loafers for the ultimate classy look.

Rich in quality, the penny loafer is a front-runner for Ivy League fashion and with students from elite colleges. It’s a no-fuss, sophisticated shoe with a slip on design and a luxury leather finish. The penny loafer looks great with or without socks and is perfect paired with chinos or shorts and a crew-neck sweater – a great staple for your Ivy League wardrobe. Finish off with our soft, supple leather Ravenna cross-body bag.

The wool blazer infuses your outfit with sartorial style, embracing heritage tweed fabrics and upping your dapper game. Pairing a blazer and sharply ironed chinos with softer fabrics, like wool, instantly makes your ensemble look well-cut whilst remaining comfortable and still looking effortlessly thrown together. Opt for the Santino M in Dark Brown to carry around your day-to-day papers and books in style.

A modern twist to Ivy League dressing, the man clutch is the ideal accessory for impromptu events. It exudes class and incorporates sartorial dressing into an otherwise laid-back outfit, which is crucial for Ivy League style. It’s also perfect for classing up a simple, white polo and linen shorts. Pair with matching leather brogues or loafers for an elite, polished look. We recommend The Santino S in Chestnut Tan for smart casual, put-together look.
