Style Counsel: An Architect’s Hat Trick

February 1, 2013

An architect copes with climate change by applying his personal version of form follows function to his own wardrobe.

When I first met my husband, Bill, at architecture school, I immediately clocked that this was a man who was unafraid to accessorize (he was wearing a belt of questionable coloration). Over the years, as Bill, now an architect based in the New York offices of AECOM, grew taller than his hair, I witnessed an emerging maturity in his sartorial taste.

Because he travels extensively for his job (master planning for various Olympics’ sites, including Rio), Bill copes with the diverse weather conditions he encounters—from rainy London to the hot sunny climes of South America—with one critical accessory, the hat, which all too conveniently compensates for his lack of natural top cover.
