Fashion Essentials: Brooks Brothers

THE AMERICAN DREAM. The new movie adaptation of The Great Gatsby is highly anticipated for a number of reasons, not least of which is the fab 1920s costume design, with the actors getting decked out by Brooks Brothers

Brooks Brothers shares a similarity with Gatsby; founded in 1818 in New York, the brand is a symbol of the American Dream. Brooks Brothers’ dream, though, ends happily; starting as America’s first ready-to-wear retailer, Brooks Brothers is now an international household name, with branches throughout the world, including the newly opened one in Jakarta.

Inspired by sand and sea, Brooks Brothers’ new collection is dominated by a nautical color palette (red, ivory, navy). Sandy neutrals and white also make an appearance, as a nod to Palm Beach.
