Carl is wearing a Carl Sterr private label, Italian-made suede blazer layered over a full stand-up collar suede waistcoat, finished with a contrasting tweed back. A Inis Meain knit scarf. Wigens leather cap. Berwich moleskin five-pocket trousers with LEN belt.

Wendy is wearing a Mongolian cashmere sweater from Lisa Yang paired with LouLou De Saison premium leather skirt in coffee, created in Paris and accessorized with Wandler Ida suede Handbag and Curatoria handcrafted bone Necklace.

This fall, there are exciting new palettes and styles for men and women, and couples often enjoy shopping together. “It’s always a beautiful thing when couples come in together,” says Carl Sterr II, founder of Carl Sterr 1922. “If you know much about the men’s clothing business, you know you’re selling to a woman nine times out of 10.” He and his staff are happy to collaborate with women when it comes to dressing their other halves, but many quickly realize that they don’t really have to be there. The team at Carl Sterr knows what they’re doing. At Pearl, store manager Gigi Badalamenti finds that women sometimes come in with their significant others and appreciate their input. Gigi and her team are always on hand to assist too. These two long-time high-end fashion retailers will be partnering this month at Sip & Stride at the Lochmoor Club. The event, which will feature live models strolling throughout the club wearing the latest fall fashions, will take place on September 17 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Richard is wearing a Belvest navy blue double-breasted hopsack blazer. Layered over a Finamore dress shirt and finished with a Seaward & Stearn silk necktie. Charcoal gray flannel trousers by Marol Blasi. Crockett & Jones chestnut brown suede Chelsea boots.

Carl and his brother Richard, who works alongside him in the store, will be two of the models. “Clayton Fox, who’s been working with us for a little over two years, will also be modeling some of the clothes,” says Carl. “If there are three of us, that is potentially nine outfits, three a piece.” The curated fall-focused outfits will reflect what buyers can find in the stores. For his three outfits, Carl is first leaning toward a more formal look in a suit, tie, and vest. A scarf and a fedora will possibly complete the look. Next, he would like to present a more casual look by donning a sport coat, a shirt with a neckerchief, and another vest. “I may pair those with flannel trousers and Chelsea boots,” he says. “After that, I’ll probably do a lifestyle piece, which might include a suede vest with a tweed or plaid trouser, and a jacket over the shoulder, maybe in leather or cashmere.” A driving cap worn in reverse may complete the look.

Wendy is wearing an Odeeh ivory shift dress in boucle made from Italian fabrics and manufactured in Germany, paired with Mansur Gavriel, New York based leopard print Rhea bag with gold metal handle and Missoni scarf.

Carl is wearing a refined Belvest double-faced boiled wool sport coat, distinguished by an elegant Glen plaid interior. Gala gloves from Italy, a Calabrese wool-and-silk scarf, and a sumptuous Marol Blasi 100% cashmere Glen plaid jacket. Cream 12-ounce Marol Blasi wool gabardine trousers provide a timeless foundation, while a handcrafted Stetson 100% fur felt hat completes the silhouette. Cavendish tassel loafers in rich snuff suede—a sophisticated touch that perfectly embodies classic Italian-inspired menswear. Wendy is wearing a Long Miu Dress by Zero by Maria Cornejo, woven silk full length dress features cut out shoulders, a v-neck with front gathered detailing, draped hourglass silhoulette and front slit in merlot. Accessorized with the Ida trio bag by Wandler. Richard is wearing a rich Bordeaux twill cashmere sport coat by Marol Blasi is paired with a luxuriously soft Marol Ottoviani cashmere-silk long-sleeve polo. Gray flannel trousers by Belvest. Crockett & Jones chestnut brown suede Chelsea boots.

Carl especially loves adding vests to an outfit to incorporate layers—not only do they look great, but they also keep wearers comfortable, especially during cold Michigan winters. “I’m a big believer in dressing for the weather,” he says. At Pearl, buyer Cheryl DiMauro is excited to showcase outfits at Sip & Stride to celebrate the fall season. Female models will be pairing up with the male models from Carl Sterr 1922. “We’re the female version of how Carl Sterr wardrobes his clients, and I chose a good representative of some really wonderful brands that we carry to provide a sophisticated chic look,” she says. Outfits will include eveningwear as well as daywear. “We’re doing trousers and some dresses, and it’ll all be in the palettes

of fall—browns and ecrus plus accent colors in merlot, pine green, and blue,” says Cheryl. Both Pearl and Carl Sterr 1922 carry brands that are not available elsewhere in the area. “We’ll have ARVA leather goods, we’ll have Borges, which has a beautiful shoe from Italy, and COGTHEBIGSMOKE,” she says. “COGTHEBIGSMOKE is just the coolest brand ever and a favorite here,” says Gigi. “LISA YANG knitwear is another big one, and we’ll also have Comme Si accessories and loungewear.” Both retailers look forward to meeting new friends and reintroducing themselves to old ones at Sip & Stride. This fun and free event will also include a jazz band, bourbon and wine tastings, and hors d’oeuvres.

S T Y L E , C U LT U R E A N D C O M M U N I T Y This month, Grosse Pointe City Lifestyle magazine is partnering with the Lochmoor Club and longtime clothiers Pearl and Carl Sterr for a night of fun, food and fashion. Sip & Stride will be held on September 17 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm and will give locals a chance to get to know the club, view curated, high-end fashion, and enjoy food, beverages, and music. Founded in 1917 by a group of prominent Grosse Pointe residents including Edsel Ford, the Dodge brothers, and Wylie Carhartt, the four-season club is now a second home to 442 families. Many of these members have young children. “We’re a family-friendly club, so it’s casual,” says Eric Reiter, general manager & COO. “We don’t want to be that stuffy, formal club. Instead, we want it to be a place where members and families can come to relax, be themselves and have a good time.” The club describes itself as “rooted in tradition yet focused on family, fun, and camaraderie; it has always been more than a club—it has been a community.”

The entire first floor of the clubhouse was renovated three years ago, so it now has a classic, contemporary look where members feel at home. Outside, they can enjoy golf, which is a huge draw, with many joining a men’s or women’s league. Its Golf Shop is recognized as one of the top 100 private golf shops in the world. A huge pool where they can lounge and relax is also a big hit. In fact, many families join for the pool. “We’re situated about a half mile from Lake St. Clair in Grosse Pointe Woods,” he says. “Although each of the five Grosse Pointe communities has a private pool for residents, they are often very crowded.” Members also appreciate the Patio Bar and Slice, its poolside restaurant, where they can conveniently get something

to eat and drink without venturing far from their lounge chair or cabana. “We also have a tennis house, where we offer tennis and pickleball, and a fitness center that was renovated a couple of years ago,” says Eric. “It’s very modern with all new equipment.” The Lochmoor Athletic Center boasts four TrackMan simulators and an indoor putting and practice area. “We have a very vibrant junior golf program too with 128 kids starting at age 6, as well as a caddie program [at age 8, PGA Champion Walter Burkemo was a caddie here] and an award-winning aquatics program for children aged 9 to 17.” The Sea Dragons compete with 13 other private clubs in Southeastern Michigan and have been champions for the last

In the summer, there’s also an in-demand camp program. While members understand and appreciate the many advantages of belonging to Lochmoor, Eric is looking forward to meeting others who would like to find out more during Sip & Stride. “We’re very fortunate to have the Giorgio family as members, and they own Vintage Wine, so they are more than happy to showcase their wines as part of this event. We’ll also have a jazz band,

bourbon and wine tastings, and hors d’oeuvres, as well as fashion models from Pearl and Carl Sterr 1922.” Dr. Thomas Jerger will be the featured member. “He is our unofficial historian and helped with several books that have been written about the history of Lochmoor,” says Eric. “He’s also very interested in the history of the Detroit Athletic Club, which was founded in 1887, and its connection with us. I was the clubhouse manager there, and it’s where the 68 passionate golfers gathered to found Lochmoor.” The event is free of charge. For more information, visit LochmoorClub.com.
