Trim Wool Suit For Office Goers

#MotivationalMondays
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” –Desmond Tutu
This week, I pray that we see hope at the end of the tunnel and, rightly so, our posts will focus on ‘hope’ as the predominant theme. Adding a great deal of hope to office-goers is the Trim-Fit Wool Suit. This classic, yet versatile suit features flap pockets and delicate screen-weave texture. This suit, crafted of wool, syncs well with a white dress shirt. Accessories with a navy knit tie and black Chelsea boots for a somewhat semi-bespoke suit look.

CHANGE OF FORMAL TO SEMI-CASUAL WORK WEAR – WHAT HAS CHANGED?

PARTYING IN SUMMER ISN’T THE THING. BUT WHAT YOU WEAR DOES MATTER?

The summers are going to be hot, humid, dry and sticky. Partying in the summers is exciting as it gets, but not able to find the best party wear for men in summer isn’t. First, it is wrong to think that men don’t care too much about what they wear especially on a hot sunny day. Just think, why should women have all the fun? In my hindsight, let me tell you that men too long for a high comfort level and great look. Here is what I’ve come up for men summer wear that will work all the time this summer.

In the good old days, men’s dressing was a serious affair, mirroring the magazine cut-outs of what filmy celebs wear. For a change, why not sport a simple casual shirt and pair of trousers that double as a party wear in summer. If you’re following men’s summer fashion, then pick the one above as a starter.

Summer Party Wear
If you’re looking for a summer outfit that’s great as a camping wear, it doesn’t get better than this. I would even tell that it’s breaking the tradition away as you pose with it all along. Your range of camping outfit is probably limited, yet you don’t want it to give a drab look. Why not pair a T-shirt with cargos or denim for an idyllic casual outing? This is as simple as it gets without your having to search for any other option.
The weather is sunny, and music is in the air…what are you wearing to stay in tune with the event? Summer Music Festival, yeah, you guessed it right. If you’re fed up with your routine wear, take a break and put on your graphic T-shirt (a printed tee would do the trick!). Featuring your favourite brand name or music design is a plus. Give it a complete look with a jacket and ripped jeans. Accessorise the wear with a pair of sneakers, and you’re certain to hog the limelight.

I help clients in suggesting the ideal summer party wear, but things get tricky when it comes to a cocktail themed party. I take the safer side. Go for a classic white shirt and ensure your shirt looks fab when fully-buttoned up, and accessorise your dress shoes meticulously. The white shirt with contrasting lower is a great way to impress upon the onlookers. The best wear options for men party wear, surprisingly, is available only in the summer season. This year is not going to be an exception in any way.

Layer Up Your Summer Wear With A Light Weight Blazer

I pray you don’t go too much away from the present as the best dressing combinations work when tied to the present just like quickly tucking a white button-down into light-wash jeans. Add a summer-weight blazer in tan for a modern take on business casual. And you’re ready to go.

Get Your Hands On The Less Formal Lounge Suit

#WearItWednesday
We’re talking about the present moment; here is another semi-casual suit that historically was the less formal version of morning dress or morning suit- lounge suit. The lounge suit, as we know, is kind of an umbrella term, and comes with both two-and three-piece suits. If an invitation reads “lounge suit” instead of “cocktail attire” as dress code, you can well expect that your office suit should be slightly formal in nature, rather than tailored eveningwear.

Don’t Restrict Your Color Palette

#TeachingTuesdays
Don’t restrict your color palette when choosing your shirt, tie, and shoes as it can make the fabric of your suit look richer and better. Switch up the colors and patterns ever so a little with each piece to produce depth. You can also include one item such as a pocket square or soft briefcase from a totally different color family.

Classic Summer pieces that should be in every man’s wardrobe

Light Weight And Powerful Linen Suits

#MotivationalMondays
“Stress is caused by being ‘here’ but wanting to be ‘there.’– Eckhart Toll

Are you in the present or always thinking about the future. Living in the present means to enjoy this moment of life that you have right now. Here’s a suit for the man in the present. A linen suit is a warm-weather requisite. Lightweight and loose, the powerful linen suit is made of flax fibre, and features an extremely low thread count, indicating it’s a lot lighter compared to other suits (the wool suit, especially). I recommend that if you have a business obligation that will transport you to warmer climates, then the linen suit is what you should be looking for.

SUMMER SUIT FABRICS – ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

SUMMER SUIT FABRICS – ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

During the colder months, wool, tweed and cashmere suits are the most preferred fabric types, as these materials not only look refined and professional, but also keep you snug and warm. In the summer months, however, I recommend swapping these suits out for lightweight, breathable fabrics that will keep you stay cool with zero compromise on appearance. Here’re the most preferred suit fabrics for summer.

Linen Suit:
A classic material for the hot and humid days, Linen, is a popular suit. It is lightweight ad breathable. It features an excellent natural texture and a visible weave as it comes from the fibres of the flax plant. With easy-wrinkle properties, it serves as an everyday work wear suit, the alternate being cotton or wool.

Cotton Suit:
Cotton suit is the default choice as a summer suit fabric as it allows you to have a structured, yet a casual look this summer. Cotton, though stiffer than the wool suiting, is also breathable and cooler. Go for khaki, a popular color for a cotton suit, but bring out the adventurer in you with a blue cotton suit.

SeerSuckers
Seersucker Suit:
Seersucker can be worn throughout the day. It is not to be seen only as a South style, where it originated, but something that is growing in popularity over the last few years. June 11 is celebrated as a ‘Seersucker Day’ to celebrate this US menswear fashion. The signature striped, lined surface and strategic crinkling makes the seersucker a unique cotton fabric for the men’s suit. You can wear the Seersucker for the summer without any compromise on style. A point to note here is that Seersucker is not as formal as you would imagine, and definitely wouldn’t be the thing for the formal business setting. If you aren’t still prepared for the Seersucker, then go for a seersucker bow tie instead.

Fresco Suit:
Fresco suit comes with layered strands of yarn, high-twisted wool featuring an open weave, making the fabric airy in nature for maximum airflow during summer. The crisp look and feel allows the suit to look lot structured and refined, thanks to the high-twisted wool. It shows better wicking and sweat-absorbing qualities compared to cotton or linen throwing an elegant look.

Chambray Suit:
Chambray, also called cambric, is a lightweight cotton fabric that is similar to denim, which is highly durable and sturdy, but that which naturally flows with movement and offers a soft touch.

A Comfortable Wool Vested Wedding Suit

#WeddingsByBucco
“The beauty of marriage is not always seen from the very beginning—but rather as love grows and develops over time.”—Fawn Weaver
Here is a wedding suit proven to be comfortable with use all year round: a wool vested suit, bespoke in nature, with a standard lapel when you think about a jacket. Tick all the style choices you want: single-breasted jacket, standard lapel and 2 pockets among others. A default choice also for autumn as well.
