Gstaad Guy turned a joke about Alpine old money into a full aesthetic. The outfits are easy to copy once you see the pattern: soft tailoring, muted colours and suede shoes.

The formula

Navy, brown, cream and white. A knit or an overshirt in place of a blazer. Wide trousers that touch the shoe. Suede loafers, never sneakers. The quality of the fabric matters more than the cut.

Who else does it well
