It is often said that not all suits are created equal, like this 3-piece suit in brown tweed that can outdo any contemporary version. An excellent addition to your 19th century-inspired lifestyle, this suit is crafted from a mix of 25/40/35 wool/acrylic/polyester. Another highlight of this suit is that coat and vest are completely lined.

Five outfits for Men this Fall

A patterned blazer can throw a nice look with the combination of personality and integrating the right colors onto your outfit. If you love traditional patterns, then try houndstooth, windowpane, checks or even a puppytooth blazer. Pair the blazer with a neutral color polo shirt in grey, beige or navy, in addition to a pair of jeans for a semi-casual look. For a more casual look, put on your blazer over a smart shirt, and team it up with a pair of light-colored chinos for an effortlessly stylish look and feel.

If the buttons of your suit jacket or blazer are functioning buttons, also termed as “surgeon’s cuffs”, you can only shorten the distance from the bottom button to the end of the cuff, or you’ll need to pay your tailor a little more to move a button and hole.

Traditionally, tracksuit bottoms are a young man’s privilege. But being able to set the limits when dressing oneself is what decides the line between the boys and men. When it comes to choosing the right tracksuit color, go for contrast top and bottom. A simple, grey crew neck is always a winner, but other neutrals and earthy tones can also do the thing for you. For the sweatpants pick deep, rich navy blue tone.

The era of ‘Counterculture’ gave its adopters a sense of true identity and belonging. Usually termed tribes, they were extremely original, bold and big– yet not niche to be tagged mainstream fad – to help shape their eras. They faced terrible opposition from the outsiders. A case in point is the emergence of the punk rock movement in the 1970’s.

BLEISURE WEAR IS HERE TO STAY!

The most challenging job for me is to rescue fashion from stuffiness. Take windowpanes, for example, it gives you a comfier, slouchy feel. No more is the emphasis in tailoring only on texture; windowpane has come a long way. I love checks—whether dainty gingham, traditional tartan or the vibrant plaids of a lumberjack shirt—they are sure to make a strong statement if you aren’t that finicky about colors.

Do you find the collars of your shirt or polo shirt spiralling out of control? I prefer wearing shirts with button-down collars to overcome this challenge, but use a bit of double-sided tape on the interior of the collar that can help attach and keep your collars down all throughout the day. Sounds a bit tacky? Yes, it is.

What if I say success can be owned! Yes, when you own the right suit. A case in point is this jacket deviating somewhat from the classic. It feels a bit more like a coord, made from a weighted knit. The cropped trouser lends a comfy feel and maintains the laid-back vibes; team up with trainers over anything visibly formal.
