Gargyle

Once upon a time, “clubs” required a variety of proper attire; things that sparkled without glittering, that impressed without oppressing, that served a purpose without seeming too purposeful. This was vintage country club fashion, and it made men out of boys and ladies out of lasses with its equally sporting and serious whimsicalities. The new online store Gargyle promises to bring back some of that old-fashioned refinement with its carefully curated collection of modernized country club apparel. In more modern terms, this translates to selections that approach dressing in the same manner that one might approach a proper game of croquet — ready to win, but only while having a damn good (and good-looking) time in the process. To that, we say: jolly good, old chap.
