It’s time for another United States of Trad post. This post will focus on a man from a family that are often considered to be American royalty; the Kennedys. When people think of the Kennedy men 9 out of 10 times it is of Jack, but me, I prefer Bobby. RFK had a more traditional style of dress than his brother. He favored button-down collars, repp striped ties and even though he was rarely photographed in a 3/2 sack suit the shoulders of his jackets always looked very natural. I selected Bobby for this post not only on the merit of his clothing, but because I believe that he embodies the spirit that helps to define this style of dress. He was a man that cared deeply about his family and he was passionate about doing what he believed was right. As an admirer of Robert Kennedy I hope that you enjoy the pics below.
