Style Notes
Simon describes his personal style as pirate chic. But is quick to point out his brand of style is not “studied in its disheveledness”.
You know, I’ll get out of bed and put my running gear on and I’ll go running and then I’ll come back and I’ll forget to have a shower and I’ll take off my running shorts and I’ll pull my holey jeans on over the top of my lycra leggings, and then I’ll have my sweaty running shirt on. And then I put a jumper over that and then knot a little neck scarf around it in a natty way. And there’s no plan to it. It’s just, whatever is lying around. And I never buy new clothes.
So, in other words – once you figure out what you’re happy and comfortable wearing: own it! You can even come up with a fun name for your personal style, like pirate chic.
My wife describes [my style] as scarecrow chic. Actually I call it pirate chic because I think to be a wild, wild man of the waves is somewhat more romantic than being stuck in the middle of a field scaring crows away.
