Do I need to always wear a tie for my small wedding at home?
Good question. No, there are no hard and fast rules saying that you need to wear a tie to a wedding. However, go for a spread collar dress shirt, and leave the first 1-2 buttons undone. If you are wearing an undershirt, ensure it’s a v-neck style so it isn’t visible around your neck. Accessorize with other pocket square or watch suitably.

Cardigans are perfect for providing a put-together look even when it’s cold outside. But remember a cardigan is not a button-down. As an outer layer, though, it can be paired with button-down shirts for a chic and stylish look and feel. It’s completely okay even if it’s a little loose, therefore feel free to stay flexible a bit.

Cardigan – Alternate To Sport Coat

Multiple layers of grey wool, washed denim shirt and brown suede jacket. Achieving a timeless, classic look is about layering, and in the stillness of winter there is no better time to experiment layering using different textures and textiles.

If you’re looking for a mix of casual and the sophisticated, the wool blazer is for you. Generally worn in semi formal occasions, this jacket is a must-have winter outfit for every wardrobe. Team this up with a button-down shirt for a fancier look or a roll neck for those bitingly cold nights. When the temperature starts to warm up again, you can still retain this piece – it’s light enough to wear throughout the year!

Types of wool and weaves

This week will be about Jetted pockets, considered somewhat formal. The pocket is sewn into the jacket’s lining and only a narrow horizontal opening appears on the side of the suit jacket. Usually found on formal wear, they add to a sleek, sophisticated appearance by virtue of being nearly inconspicuous.

When the mercury level drops, it is time to take out a warm and stylish wool overcoat from the closet to feel extremely snug and comfy. You can pick any length and color of your choice. To sync with the rest of your wardrobe, adhere to bold colors including navy, charcoal, or camel – they flatter a gamut of pieces and provide a timeless fashion.

LAYERING YOUR OUTFIT FOR THE WINTER

It’s a formal beach wedding, and, as a groom, you still need to hold sway over the onlookers. Since beach weddings are formal in nature, I usually recommend the groom to wear a summer suit such as tan, pale blue, light olive, or white in cotton or linen. Not only do the aforementioned fabrics make fabulous options for a wedding, but sticking to gentle colors will make you feel more organized.

I don’t think tailoring is all about ‘blazer and trousers’. You can alternate the office top half and go with a chore jacket instead – it instantaneously tones down the formal look, yet still remains stylish, especially if teamed up with some properly sleek trousers with wider cuts for this combo—we don’t suggest billowing, but there should be ample room in the thigh, with a mild taper down to the hem.

The 1990’s saw another huge fashion transformation as men basically ditched any and all trends of the previous decades, all in an effort to stay fashion-relevant in the 90’s. Casual was here to stay, and minimalism became the watchword. The mainstream fashion was impacted by three major youth subcultures of the 90’s: rave, hip-hop, and grunge. T-shirts, jeans, shorts, sweatshirts, trainers and hoodies made up the majority of a man’s wardrobe. As a matter of fact, the shift was oriented towards casual fashion and an outright rejection of formality and rigidity.

THE ART OF LAYERING FOR MEN THIS FALL

When it comes to separates, there’s a golden rule to keep in mind, and that is to ensure there’s some element of difference between the upper and lower body. This could be a conspicuous gear-shift in color: a navy jacket on sky blue or a petrol blue jacket with navy chinos trousers. Conversely, you can maintain similar tones, but add some distinction with the fabric material. You can also experiment with a crosshatch pattern on the jacket or a totally different fabric.

Are you always on the go, and too busy to iron your shirt? No worries. Just focus on the shirt collar. Use a hair straightener to heat the collar gently and stiffen it. Next, cover it with a suit or a jacket. Only the collar will be visible (obviously), and you’re ready to go. Now, if you have the time to iron, then just press the shirt cuffs, the collar and the front of the shirt. This is all you have to do, considering you cover the shirt with a blazer or a suit. Nobody is going to see the sleeves or the back of your shirt, with a jacket on. Usually, your body heat dissipated helps the release of any leftover wrinkles after a couple of hours.

Here’s something for those who like to look chic and understated, black and grey—when combined with a shirt or roll neck and shoes—is the perfect combination when the occasion demands formality. While monochrome separates may invoke images of your office boardroom, try out with a few alterations like ditching the tie or substituting the shirt altogether for a lightweight knit or polo shirt for a razor-sharp informal, off-duty weekend look.
