A Personal Touch


How do we feel about monogrammed polos? Sure, they can be debonaire and add a little flash to an otherwise boring ensemble but they seem a bit fey and narcissistic. A number of upscale brands are offering personalization services including Fred Perry. You can get your initials stitched on your polo by the Bespoke Shirt Service. You can also pick the colour, cuff, and laurel making your shirt one of kind. Unfortunately, this process is expensive and only available at Bergdorf Goodman. All of this brings me back to the initial question, is such extravagance Bachelor approved? Well, I've always believed that if it's good enough for JFK it's good enough for me. However, I think you need a certain sprezzatura to pull it off.
