Merrick Style
IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A CORAL GABLES STYLE? DO THE RESIDENTS OF THE GABLES DRESS WITH GREATER REFINEMENT THAN THOSE WHO LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY?
We return this month with another edition of Merrick Style, our showcase of fine fashion that is available here in the Gables and modeled by a notable local. This month we are highlighting clothing for the man, using as our model Coral Gables attorney Christopher B. Spuches of the Agentis law firm on Alhambra.
For our clothing showcase we went to Hugo Boss in the Village of Merrick Park, for a look at their Pre-Spring 2019 Collection, selected by store manager Yusleidy Cabrera. The clothing is smartly tailored, and includes a range of looks that move from the corporately sleek to the less formal but elegant sports jacket and tapered slack ensemble. We also show a business look for creative types, with a classic black turtleneck, and a stylishly outdoorsy look for travel to colder climes.
Enjoy this month’s panoply of attire for the Gables man. Next month return with a loving couple for Valentine’s day. Stay tuned.
