“A person’s character is but half formed till after wedlock” – Charles Simmons
Here’s a brilliant black suit for city weddings: it comes with a standard lapel, a safe choice for lapels, classic yet stylish. I’d recommend the suit fabric to be preferably 100 per cent wool like Tarantino, and that it be tailored with all the style choices you make—single-breasted jacket, standard lapel and two pockets amongst others. This suit helps you not just build your wedding look, but a positive attitude as well!

How To Style A Tweed Jacket
#FreestyleFridays
How to style a tweed jacket? Because tweed is itself a highly informal fabric material, you can easily team it up with denim for a casual look. Ditch the tie, and try pairing the tweed jacket with leather chukka boots for a more rugged look, or dress it up slightly with brogues or loafers. If you’re looking to pair tweed jacket with denim, pick a warmer toned tweed or maintain the classic look with simple variations of grey.

Match Your Waistcoat With Jacket
#ThrowbackThursdays
If you’re going to stand by tradition with a waistcoat, then you just can’t take tweet material out of the equation. For a timelessly classic look, go for a waistcoat that syncs with your jacket. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they be of the same color, but can be neutral tones such as brown, grey or khaki. For an even more sophisticated look, team up the waistcoat and jacket with tailored chinos or jeans. For a vintage look, pick wool trousers or even all-over tweed. Accessorize the outfit with boots of black or brown brogues to complete the effect.
Jacket And Button Down Shirt A Killer Combo
#WearitWednesday
Yes, we’re talking about attitude and more of it. While a jacket and button down shirt is always a killer combo, why not try wearing your jacket with a white turtle neck or t-shirt on? Choose lightweight fabrics such as cotton like merino especially when it is warm, and cashmere during the colder months. Accessorize with a stylish brogue, or pair with a white trainer—again, an easy way to breathe life into your suit.
Birdseye/Nailhead Woven Fabric
#TeachingTuesdays
Do you care about your suit fabric as much as I do? Let me help you navigate some fabric weaves! I love the Birdseye/Nailhead woven fabric. Birdseye is a small, repetitive woven pattern similar to small diamonds. I recommend the pattern for those who like solid suits, yet look for a bit of extra visual interest with respect to texture.
Navy Suit To Increase Your Monday Attitude
#MotivationalMondays
“Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can” – Richard Bach
It’s often said that it’s your attitude that determines your altitude. This week, therefore, we will deal with how men should wear attitude in their sleeves! If I need to stock only one suit in my wardrobe, I would rather go with the popular wool navy suit. Navy goes superbly with anyone’s complexion, and commands totals professionalism. I recommend you select a tailored, bespoke fit than a ready-to-wear one when it comes to wearing this suit. If you’re inspired by the regal look, pair the outfit with a men’s overcoat if it gets too chilly and windy outside. That’s quite an attitude, right?
SPRING IS UPON US—WATCH WHAT YOU WEAR – PART 2
“Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s Party!”
And how true. Spring adds a new sense of life and freshness to all that is. Let’s discuss from where we left in the previous blog, with more men’s Spring wear trends that are sure to stand out this year!
The art of layering
Multiple layering when the sun is out and shining may not sound horse sense, but it can still effuse practicality if done to nicety, as an option. Ditch the old heavy outwear, and pick lightweight jackets and overshirts instead. You can wear them over plain tees, regular summer-ready shirts or polos. And you can remove them anyways if you’re feeling the heat inside. Then just tie them about the waist, torso or shoulders to preserve the visual element minus the extra warmth.
Going all white
Here’s another trick off the bag to pull off to stay chic and stylish this Spring: going ‘all white’. You, however, need to get it right to achieve that “kingly” state. I know going all white involves a few risks, but it’s worth every effort. Did I say that it can help ward off the heat and keep you cool? Try teaming a sharp, crisp white T-shirt with matchy-matchy chino shorts and a pair of tonal leather sneakers. Now, if that’s all overgoing, why not try a navy overshirt on top just to tone down the underlying effect a bit?

Bare Ankles
Bare Ankles was a cynosure of attraction and hogged the attention in the 2010s. But it’s staging a comeback in the 2020s giving you the perfect chance to get your ankles covered. Though I describe it as little outdated, there’s a lot you can do with it in terms of style and fashion this Spring.
If you must cover the lower portions of the legs with trousers on, I’d recommend restricting it to the summer months. I am not really in favor of your ankles peeping out from the cuffs of a pair of pants, particularly when it is bitingly cold and windy. Get yourself a nice pair of socks to slip into and complete the look.
Oversized Outerwear
Is tailoring going to get looser and baggier in 2021? I feel so, as we transition into a phase where oversized belted overcoats particularly will call the shots. There’s lot more I can describe on this trend which involves the ability to layer. Play it around creatively pairing oversized outwear with pieces underneath creating a lot of room for varying tones and textures. Hang on. I have more ins and outs for you. But that’s for another day for sure.
Tailcoat – Most Formal Wedding Suit
#WeddingsByBucco
“Marriage is another momentous life change. Choose right, and it might be the most positive decision you ever make.”– Patrick Foley
The tailcoat is considered the most formal choice of all wedding suits, Usually, it comprises a back tailcoat, which is worn open as it fits the body comfortably; a pair of pants; a bow tie; a white shirt with a detachable collar; Marcella waistcoat and patent leather shoes. And you needn’t necessarily be a super elite to sport this exquisite look!
Get The Spring Style Casual Look
#FreestyleFridays
As we deal with change throughout this week, Spring, or rather a transition of season, is finally upon us, and warrants more outfit changes. Spring can easily remind you of your early school days; a bright primary color accessory is the perfect addition to both your workday and weekend outfit. Paired with a suit or dress pants in a neutral shade, a primary color piece will surely pop. Between, one of my favorite combinations is to pair a light-wash cargo and simple white t-shirt with at least one primary color accessory. Layer the outfit with a bold jacket to your otherwise simple outfit, and you’re ready to go.
Early 20th Century Outfits
#ThrowbackThursdays
Here’s a suit with fine western touches. The jacket flaunts early 20th century style cuffs, a ticket pocket, and an ornate handwork buttonhole found on the lapel. The vest comprises a matching bias cut Western style yoke, giving it a modern cut—that is both chic and youthful. The charcoal and maroon check suit disrupts the idea that plaid fabrics are suited only for daytime wear.
Fit And Fabric Matters
#WearitWednesday
Yes, we are talking about change. And just for a subtle change, go for a grey linen cotton regular collar shirt. You need to pay attention to the fit and fabric of the shirt as well. If you’ve ever worn a really nice linen shirt on a hot day and felt the breeze come through, you know how refreshing that can feel!
Nothing Can Match A Tailored Bespoke Suit
#TeachingTuesdays
This Spring, there is every reason for you to transition to custom, bespoke men’s fashion. And here is why:
A tailored outfit is usually made of the finest fabric possible. The fabric material is chosen meticulously and ethically. It follows a ‘perfect fit’ regime that readymade wears fail to deliver. Nothing can match a bespoke tailored wedding suit, however much you shell out on ready-to-wear suits. Minute details matter (as small is big!) and that is where a tailored approach holds the key to success.
