It is nice to see that he is being safety conscious with such a bright yellow shirt. When I was 18 I saw a bright yellow men's suit in the pages of Vogue (it was the late 70's), so immediately enlisted my mother to make me a bright yellow shirt similar to the one below! Now if only I had kept that shirt!
I also do some heavy duty cycling in the summer which involves the wearing of much lycra, which I am not even going to get into on a blog about savoir faire!
very chic, but I don't think this could work for everyone (the yellow shirt)...

A great image - the very classic bike is an important counterpoint here. He wouldn't have as much savoir faire (and neither do I) with my bike in the background!
ReplyDeleteSome of us like a man in lycra...Just sayin....
ReplyDeleteMr. BHB commutes to his office by bike four days a week. While Mr. BHB is certainly handsome and exceedingly fit, he isn't nearly as chic as the young man in your post.
ReplyDeleteYellow is such a cheerful color!
ReplyDeleteRemember Mr. Smiley face?

Wow how fab! Thanks for the comment..I was a bit worried with the religious undertones but its beauty and intrigue could not be ignored!!
ReplyDeleteJean-Pierre, make sure you show us your shirts when they are finished.
ReplyDeleteLenore- do I ever! I love yellow and I loved my shirt.
Belle, I am impressed! I wish I had the fortitude to cycle to the office.
Il duce - I hear you!
Cara- it has to be the right shade of yellow.
Mark, neither do I
One does have the lycra gear you note, and finds it rather repulsive and makes one feel rather silly when wearing it, or trussed up in it--all just to pedal a few miles on one's bike. I seemed to have done just fine without all the gear as a child, when I was on my bicycle all the time, and never found that not owning or wearing a helmet put me in undue peril, either.
ReplyDeleteReggie, You did hit the proverbial nail on the head with your comment. However I do admit that when cycling a 100 or so kilometres a day the lycra does have its uses. Certainly makes the physics of movement a lot easier.
