Worn Out Wednesday – Oliver Gold

By Cator Sparks December 2, 2015

Today we speak to real estate guru Oliver Gold.

I was born and raised in New York City, so going into real estate here was a natural path to follow. I work as a real estate agent for Douglas Elliman. My partner, Helen Arden and I specialize in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and primarily focus on sales.

Before going into real estate, my wife and I bought apartments in the city, fixed them up and sold them. Usually I would intend to stay in one place, but after fixing a place up and making it perfect for us to live in, my wife would always prefer to move on to the next project. It keeps things exciting.

In terms of fashion, I know what I like, but I’m pretty severely colorblind, so my wife does all the shopping for me. And she lays out my outfits in the morning. She leaves really early for work and on the days she forgets, I end up texting her photos of outfit choices. When she can’t be reached I typically panic, then end up sticking with black, white and grey.

As for his personal style:

Jeans: The Jean Shop

Shirts: Paul Smith and Ted Baker, guess I like the English designers

Pants: Zara, my wife’s favorite place to shop for me

Suits: Jil Sander and Ted Baker

Shoes: I always prefer my New Balance but when I have to wear shoes, Paul Smith

Accessories: I love watches. I don’t need to see colors to decide between my Panerai Luminor Submersible and Rolex Datejust.

Outerwear: Canada Goose – The only thing that can keep you warm in NYC.

Favorite Cologne: Acqua di Parma Blue Mediterraneo or Givenchy Gentlemen Only – I have a good friend at LVMH. He always makes sure I have the best colognes and aftershaves.

Your favorite App: Pager – I let the doctor come to me. I have a waiting phobia.

Favorite piece of technology: Sonos Playbar

Next tech purchase: Apple TV

Bradley Cooper rocks a Wax London Overshirt in NYC

An icon wearing an icon

Bradley Cooper worked his way into our hearts in the early 2000s alongside Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and others in The Hangover. He then spent the next two decades dropping Oscar performance after Oscar performance until he landed the role of Rocket Raccoon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That means we pay attention to him. Now, he is one of the guys we ordinary folk follow to stay up on the trends. While he has been the centerpiece of a lot of hair content from all the men's style writers (guilty as charged, Your Honor), he has also taught many of us the subtle art of the leather jacket and, recently, the even subtler art of casual streetwear. We are paying attention again as he steps out in New York City wearing this gorgeous overshirt from Wax London.

Wax London takes Scottish inspiration for AW24

Overshirts and corduroy take center stage

Inspiration can come from anywhere. A book, a movie, a song, all things that can spark our creative engines and get us to turn out the best we have inside us. Designers have to find ways to escape the noise of the industry to find inspiration in everything around them. For Wax London, that was what they did. On a trip to Scotland, they found themselves surrounded by the serene beauty of the country and developed their autumn and winter collection for 2024, titled appropriately enough, "Escape the Noise." Of course, any collection that Wax London does now has to include an evolution of the new icon for the brand, the Whiting overshirt. And this season has already gotten a boost thanks to Bradley Cooper, who wore it for an outing in NYC. But that isn't all this new collection has going for it.
Fit for an autumn in the Scottish Highlands

The new Wax London collection features a bevy of specialty overshirts, including the classic windowpane check and the latest season stepney all in a darker nighttime color palette of blacks, navy, and whites. They also add to their repertoire with the Otto, similar to the Whiting, only with side entry pockets. One of the collection's standouts this season is the use of corduroy. Not only do they offer it in blazers and trousers, the perfect fall fabric for exploring Scotland's most beautiful countryside, but they also feature embroidered shirts in a stunning pin-cord texture.

Check out these new watches from Casio

casio 50th anniversary watches

Since 2024 is the 50th anniversary of Casio, the iconic brand is planning to launch a new line of watches to commemorate the anniversary. However, such models were introduced in different regions. Casio Japan was recently hacked, so it had to push the launch forward. As a result, new watch models were only revealed by Casio Hong Kong.

According to an image that was published on the Casio Hong Kong Instagram, the team behind the brand plans to introduce these models into the market: Edifice EFS-S640ZE-1A, Baby-G BGD-S565ZE-1, Pro Trek PRW-6900ZE-1, and G-Shock GMC-B2100ZE-1A. While such models haven’t made it to Casio America’s official page, they will be rolled into the American market in late October.
