Dump the belt loops, and instead go for side tabs having a few buttons on the sides of your pants that allow adjustment of your waist without ever requiring to wear a belt. I like this look, but some may think of it as “retro style.

Hit Your Week With Darker Color Suits For This Fall
#MotivationalMondays
“Think highly of yourself, because the world takes you at your estimate.” – Unknown
This Fall, never let yourself down at your workplace, and the best way to start is by visiting the color wheel. Any darker colored chino suit during Fall is similar to the draft beer to a red cup. Navy, olive, chocolate brown, charcoal…you’re all ready to go. Whilst wearing light brown/ khaki suits can be viewed as a summer-only color, if done properly, you can don this suit during the fall too. The key in transitioning these suits colors is to pair them with darker shades of shirts and ties.
THREE UNUSUALLY GREAT JACKETS FOR MEN TO EXPERIMENT WITH THIS FALL
Whether you love jackets, sweaters or boots (as accessories), or want to go preppy or edgy, this Fall is the perfect season to experiment with, and succeed in the eyes of your onlookers. They will easily know that your fashion choices aren’t something that’s stereotyped but truly cultivated over the years. Here are three unusually great jackets worth giving out a try this Fall.
The Overcoat:
The power of overcoats during Fall can never be underestimated. Charles, Prince of Wales, definitely understands the power of investing in overcoats that would last for years. He has a penchant for staples that endure and extend beyond outerwear. Therefore, all you need to do is take a cue from one of the most prominent political figures of the world, and invest in a nicely crafted tailored coat and equally premium accessories. The tweed overcoat is definite to add a dash of class and texture to anything you throw at it. It is designed to be anything but stodgy. Plus, its sophisticated slim cut, zip pockets and sharp collar guarantee that it is an outfit go-to for 9-5 and during monotonous weekends.
The Two Tone Tweed Jacket:
The two tweed jacket can effuse an old-school British vibe, but modern Tweed overcoat is refreshing and simply cool. It adds a lot of oomph and sends a strong message that a star is born and soon destined to take over the world by storm. Any overcoat tweed jacket comes with slimline silhouettes, precision cut, and are crafted to cover the last bit of details that hold sway over others.

The Utility Jacket:
I am seeing utility jackets everywhere this Fall, therefore experimenting one in a rather super-soft and lightweight fabric is worth the effort. Go for either blue or green hues, but the green would definitely speak to you of soft fall days, and conveys the message that good times are on the way, especially if you’re going through hard times. I love the utility jackets that feature a cropped length and extra stretch for comfort. Plus, the jacket’s utility details are definite to keep your off-duty style right on target.
The Convertible Jacket:
Another popular jacket type, the convertible jacket is an extremely versatile outfit that offers first, warm and wind protection and second, converts easily and quickly from a jacket to a vest conforming readily to the changes in weather conditions. You can generate an instant style statement in 2-in-1 jacket designs. Excellent for layering, its utility details and the sleek ¾ length silhouette make the convertible jacket a quintessential piece this season. I particularly love the wool-blend coat that features a remove fur-look color that lends a European luxe. The collar can be unzipped for an increasingly laid-back appeal. The relaxed fit helps the convertible jacket layer easily on top of whatever you are wearing especially in the evenings. The relaxed fit helps the convertible jacket layer easily over anything you’re wearing.
So what are you waiting for? The jacket is your go-to wear this season. Own one and you own the night in the process!

Its Friday, Bring Out The Casual Look With A Checkered Shirt & Khaki Pants
#FreestyleFridays
I love the stylish checkered shirt with khaki pants, whilst adding some color into the outfit without looking awkward. While the checkered shirt can don multiple colors in it, the khaki pants will always neutralize the effect. Do tuck in a shirt and accessorize the ensemble with a fine black leather belt and a pair of black shoes.

Get Contrast When It’s Cold, Team Up Sweaters With Shirts
#WearItWednesday
If you love contrasts, and when the weather gets cold, pair a sweater with a formal shirt lending a semi-formal touch to it. If what you’re wearing is a light-colored shirt, ensure you put on a contrasting dark-colored sweater having a V-neck. If it’s a white shirt, team up with a crimson red sweater; accessorize with a neutral-colored tie. A pair of black or blue chinos will work exceedingly well.
Fabrics That Looks Luxury But Quite Affordable
#TeachingTuesdays
Luxury fibers add a buffer of luxury to more functional and affordable fabrics. Examples include cashmere (a yarn spun from the hair of the cashmere goat), Alpaca, silk and mohair (yarn obtained from the hair of the angora goat). The most luxurious fiber however comes from vicuña (a relative of the alpaca found in the Andes). The extremely soft and warm fibers can only be removed from the animal every few years, so the resultant yarn, as you may know, is quite expensive and softer than fabric made with sheep’s wool.
Start Your Fall Monday With Textured Fabrics
#MotivationalMondays
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”— Mark Twain
Get started this Fall by wearing solid colors in textured fabrics. Tweed, corduroy, woolen knits and even suede or velvet offer you a nice, Fall look and feel. They work superbly with lighter grays or dark solids and other muted hues. As a certain bonus, most of the common fabrics having a conspicuous texture to them are on the thicker scheme of things. These fabrics will keep you warm and cozy on a bitingly chilly day without your having to put on an overcoat on top of your outer wear.
FALL IS ON. GET YOUR OFFICE OUTFIT RIGHT!
This isn’t our first blog on Fall fashion. Just that we’ve bracketed the season’s some of the most popular office outfit options. This said the choice has never been easy! It’s time to get your office outfit absolutely right this Fall. Read on…
Give your Classic Navy some twist:
A well-tailored suit communicates to your clients and colleagues a strong message that you’re nicely positioned to take on the big challenges head on. A two-button suit can never fail to slim your silhouette. The classic navy suit is the perfect starter for job interviews, meetings or those nerve-wracking sales presentations. Pair it with a white spread collar dress shirt, and accessorize it with a solid navy. The versatility of the suit lies in its flexibility to conform to all dress shirts or styles including pattern. Fall can be a welcome season as you can pair your suit using a lightweight scarf for those bitingly cold and chilly dawning.
Wool Patterned Suit
A patterned suit is crafted to provide your style a certain level of depth. Give it a simple look; add a simple tie and allow the pattern to convey your sense of fashion. If you’re bold enough, go for a three-piece option with a double breasted vest. Accessorize with deep greens, navy and burgundy. A pocket square is guaranteed to keep the colors work both for your navy as well as your patterned suits. This suit option is the best fit through Fall and Winter. Invest in at least one seasonal suit as after all you’re going to wear it only once in a few months of the year. Good care of your suits (do refer to our previous blog posts) will help extend its life for several more years.

Casual Fridays:
Casual Fridays is a great opportunity to expand your repertoire of selection of style and color. Ditch your suit and tie, and go for a thin cardigan sweater. Team it up with a pair of dark denim jeans for a complete look. For sweater options, pick cardigan, V-neck merino wool and not-so-regular shawl collar for a complete collection.
Art of layering:
The art of layering plays an important role in defining Fall fashion. There are a range of ways to layer your outfit this season: a mac on top of a T-shirt and crew-neck sweater is a ready-to-go option. Probably an off-duty look you should learn to master. If you’re looking for something that is more smart or business casual, choose a trench coat, and layer with an Oxford button-down shirt or unlined sports jacket.
Shoes & Accessories:
With the right office attire, your choice of shoe turns out to be a tad more than black dress shoes. Let the first impression be the best one with oxfords, loafers, boots and derby. Remember that Fall and Winter accessories are not complete without Boots. Having the right pair of boots as accessories is worth every penny. Next, include a hat and scarf to your Fall wardrobe, and you’re ready to go this Fall.
A Classic Aesthetic Navy Suit For Your Big Day
#WeddingsByBucco
“A husband and wife may disagree on many things, but they must absolutely agree on this: to never, ever give up.”—Anonymous
If you’re a groom with a penchant for traditional look, then look no further than this crisp navy suit definite to satiate your classic aesthetic cravings on your big day. Accessorize with a matching tie for a supremely classic look, or go for a brightly colored bow-tie to give an unexpected twist at the end.
Stay Warm And Look Good With This Gilet During The Fall
#FreestyleFridays
Don’t just tag gilet as a classic outwear piece; it’s one of the most versatile additions where a bit of coverage is required. Made for those breezy Spring or Fall days, it can generate an equally dashing look under your winter coat as well. The biggest advantage of down-filled styles is that they are the warmest, while they maintain a sleek look rather than puffy.
