Top 10 Most Stylish Runners of Harry’s Spring Run-Off. By Nicholas Mizera.
1) It’s never good to be underdressed, which is why we love this navy blue tux with contrasting black lapels. The right dinner jacket can shave minutes off a PB.
Runner: Jason Stephanian
Year: 2014
2) A vest means you look suited up, even when you’re not wearing a jacket—or pants, for that matter. This runner’s textured topper provides a cool complement to the weave of his straw fedora.
Runner: Jeff Guthrie
Year: 2014
3) Tweed is a classic cold-weather suiting fabric thanks to its heavier weight, perfect for those chilly race mornings. In traditional brown, it’s a formal look fit for spring.
Runner: Greg Stephanian
Year: 2011
4) This is accessorizing done right. The pattern of this runner’s gingham check pocket square contrasts, not matches, his striped tie while sticking to the blue hues at hand. (Bonus points for the impromptu race bib tie clip).
Runner: Alex Cobb
Year: 2009
5) Black and white will never go out of style. (Nor will bringing a buddy to Harry’s Spring Run Off).
Runners: Eddie Fast and Don Robinson
Year: 2013
6) Proof that neckties aren’t just for the fellas. This female runner built a dress out of the quintessential guy’s accessory, taking the menswear-for-women trend to a whole new level.
Runner: Jacquie Jacobs
Year: 2013
7) A runner so stylish, he made the list twice! It’s the details that will get you noticed. Here, brass buttons, red epaulets and a safety orange cap combine for a fun nautical look fit for the waterfront.
Runner: Greg Stephanian
Year: 2013
8) This runner’s perfectly-imperfect bowtie is as effortless as how he looks running. In both cases, the less you try, the better it looks.
Runner: Jason Stephanian
Year: 2012
9) The key to pulling off a khaki suit is sticking to the basics—white shirt, black tie. The light blue ribbon represents awareness for prostate cancer, the very disease Harry’s Spring Run Off hopes to help eliminate.
Runner: David Antoniuk
Year: 2010
10) Style’s not just about what you’re wearing, but how you wear it. This runner embodies the energy and optimism of running with his outfit and attitude, anchored by a go-anywhere, do-anything navy blazer (a menswear staple).
Runner: Hin Fan
Year: 2013
