Dear Sir...The Definition of a Gentleman

I was asked by photographer Wiley Brown to collaborate on a concept photo shoot about the quintessential definition of a gentleman. I had a blast working on this project and not only did I get the opportunity to pen a bespoke poem for the occasion, I also styled the drink menu. May I present “Dear Sir…The Definition of Gentlemen”, along with just a little something something from each of the models I worked with.

The definition of a gentleman is personified by his style. There is no right or wrong, only what he owns & brings to the table. Classic looks or eccentric charm, a gentleman owns his swag.

Dear Sir…..

I couldn’t help but notice when you entered the scene
That smile makes me want to feel your whispered words against my skin
Your daring sense of style, dashing good looks, & debonair air command the room
Do you mind if we take this dance floor for a spin?

I mean, I’m not usually this forward, but…

Is it the assertiveness in your gaze, alluding to what could be
Is it the deep, smooth tones of your voice, setting my nerves on fire
Is it your lips, full and soft, promising a world of pleasure and adventure
Or maybe it’s the cool, chill way you maneuver in your classic attire

You have a smooth, polished look with a touch of the eccentric, a hint of vintage flair:
Tux jacket, crisp shirt
Full suit, jacket and jeans
Bow tie, no tie
Pocket square, or boutonniere

Your accessories hit just right:
Cigar, pipe, whiskey neat, Manhattan
Smooth bald head, low cut, or fade with twists
The salt & pepper is hitting, with a beard or a smooth face
