Wright had a Style All His Own
Wright developed a sense of style all his own. He wore his hair longer than men’s style at the time. He decked himself out with expensive clothes and accessories that would make him stand out from a crowd. The brim of his hats were a little wider than most of the styles of the time. He would have suits made of velvet worn with shirts that had lace collars and wide cuffs. Instead of the traditional bow tie or necktie, he would wear ties with a large, floppy bow and his cummerbunds trimmed with tassels. He was not a tall man, something he incorporated into his designs (he would create small, cramped spaces that open into large, high-ceilinged spaces). To counteract his stature, he wore shoes with high heels. He emphasized the flamboyance of his look by wearing a cape and carry a cane.
