An eye-soothing outfit by Nile Rodgers!

#ToplinerThursdays

Not sure if you all remember the light mint green suit Nile Rodgers, the great American record producer, composer, and guitarist, wore at the Grammys 2023. The color was soothing to the eyes, the style was distinguishable, and the way he carried it was totally amazing!

It was a double-breasted blazer with four front pockets in besom type. The lapel had a button fastening and well complemented the black collar. The pocket square was in a matching black color. The full sleeves with button cuffs seem to add elegance to this suit.

Copy the trend—go in black and white!

#WearItWednesdays

Since the new year 2024, across various events and ceremonies, the one trend we could see is the deadly black-and-white combination. We could see celebrities flaunt stunning and classic black suits and tuxedos with subtle white shirts. So, why not copy the trend? Go in a formal black and white suit with double breasts and three pieces. Personalize the lapels, pockets, and the type of fabric. Ensure you stick to the white dress shirt and navy blue necktie. Make the style simple with medium padding and regular fit.

The dominating red in spring fashion 2024

#TeachingsTuesdays

Cherry or oxblood red has been in vogue since fall 2023 and is found to dominate the runways in men’s spring fashion 2024. Though red is a timeless shade of elegance and boldness, it blends well with other spring colors like beige, dust grey, brown, black, etc. Navy blue and charcoal gray are the most impressive choices for this dark red shade.

“To me, clothing is a form of self-expression—there are hints about who you are in what you wear.” —Marc Jacobs

#MotivationalMondays

The renowned American fashion designer, known for his grunge collection, has aptly stated that clothing is a form of self-expression. Of course, it talks a lot about you, the wearer. Every detail of your outfit, from fabric to the blazer, from pockets to lapels, from trousers to the color of the belt, conveys a message about your style, interest, mood, affiliation, or personality. Thus, it is always essential to wisely choose your outfits and the respective accessories with balance.

Red carpet looks from the 2024 Oscars

Thanks to the Oscars for resuming the nostalgic red carpet this year, 2024! Indeed, the Hollywood night was a little surprising regarding fits and styles. It was a mix of both traditional and non-traditional looks in this most prestigious “Academy Awards!”. Without further ado, let’s get into decoding a few men’s looks.

  1. Colman Domingo

From ordinary to extraordinary! What else can he add to his details—noticeable royal buttons, bigger finger rings, silver bracelet chains, bow ties with gleaming stones, and most importantly, the amusing steel-toe cowboy boots? 

  1. Ryan Gosling 

What a captivating full-black suit! The glittering seams and the attractive hot pink (visible) socks were well contrasted with the black suit. Needless to say, his watch was adorable.

  1. Chris Hemsworth

A conventional no-tie suit! The blazer was styled with satin shawl lapels and the white dress shirt had the first two buttons unfastened to add some style to the overall outfit.    

  1. Mark Ruffalo

His fashion sense was commendable and inspiring this year. You might see it as a usual black formal suit, but the fit was really chic and the details were absolutely unique. Though his red lapel pins were for a cause, they added value to his suit style. 

  1. Jeffrey Wright

Looking for a new style? He is not the one. His style was subtle, with a usual black two-piece suit, white shirt, a black bow tie, and a pair of shining black shoes. Of course, his brooch was unique and minimalistic. 

  1. Matthew McConaughey

An enticing coffee brown blazer and waistcoat paired with black elements—the regular fit trousers, peak lapels, and besom pockets. Do you think it’s a glow-up? Drop your thoughts in the comments! 

  1. Sterling K. Brown

What a twist in the tuxedo’s style! The navy blue suit was a new vogue element with a little tweak in the lapel design—the satin silk lapel hanging down beyond the blazer’s bottom end.

  1. John Krasinski 

While most men preferred dark colors—black and blue—in this year’s Oscars, John flaunted his cream and white suit. Kudos to his choices! The cream blazer looked stunning with a purple gemstone brooch. And the white shirt did justice to highlighting the suit.

  1. Robert Downey Jr

Perhaps he strongly believed in himself winning the Oscars for the supporting actor category and that’s why he dressed up in a great monochrome suit with a perfect fit and bolo tie. It was not the wide lapel. Not the high-waist style that grabbed everyone’s attention. It was the wide-legged retro trousers.

  1. David Oyelowo

He is another gentleman who stands away from a typical suit style and color. The pumpkin-orange suit he wore was elegant and complemented well with the dark brown inner-layered shirt. Even the top fashion stylists wondered for a second, what sort of lapel or shirt collar that was. 

Apart from these gentlemen, there were other show stealers, naming a few of them—Cillian Murphy, Riz Ahmed, Bradley Cooper, Willem Dafoe, Sam Rockwell, Dwayne Johnson, Paul Giamatti, and Shameik Moore.

Conclusion

At large, we could see that most of them chose to wear dark suits without a tie and open-necked shirts. However, there is sartorial learning in every new style or outfit that celebrities wear for grand award functions like the Oscars. What’s your favorite?

An all-new spring casual suit style for men

#FreestyleFridays

Usually, businessmen dress up formally for most occasions. From business meetings to company events, they have no choice but to wear a formal suit. But they can try new casual styles when working on the weekends or meeting up at informal or semi-formal events. This is one such spring-specific casual suit style for the businessman in you!

The model wears a loose-fit, small-checkered blazer with wide-peak lapels. This constitutes the formal part of the outfit. Alternatively, for the casual part of the outfit, he wears a simple white V-neck white tee.

Willem Dafoe at the Oscars 2024!

#ToplinerThursdays

We hope you didn’t miss the ‘Discreet Fit’ video of Willem Dafoe by Maurice Kamara, who runs the ‘The People Gallery’. Of course, Willem carried his outfit most subtly and charmingly. It was a single-breasted tux in dark brown. The fabric was a mix of wool and mohair. 

The best thing about the outfit is the dark brown tux combination with alluring black elements—a black shirt in poplin fabric, a black necktie in satin fabric, and black derby shoes in leather.

An exemplary business suit in typical navy blue

#WearItWednesdays

Simple twists can greatly leverage the style of the suits. And this navy blue business suit is the right example! 

The model wears an excellent double-breasted suit in regular formal navy blue but with two sets of flap pockets. Even though it is a small twist in the detailing of the blazer, it adds more value to the overall look of the suit, making it exemplary. A light (thin striped) dress shirt, a dark (self-designed) necktie, and a brown strap classic watch blend well with this business suit.

How about grey in spring fashion?

#TeachingsTuesdays

Of course, grey is not the primary choice in the spring fashion color palette. But light grey, dusty grey, or taupe shades of grey are spring-neutral and timeless in vogue. They can effortlessly complement lighter spring shades (like beige) and brighter or darker spring shades (like olive green or flamingo pink). Also, they work well with black and white if you want to get styled too formally. 

Ensure you don’t buy apparel for spring in winter grey, which is quite darker and does not complement the warm spring colors.

“All it takes are a few simple outfits. And there’s one secret—the simpler the better.” —Cary Grant

#MotivationalMondays

When most Hollywood actors preferred bespoke suits tailored by great designers, this late Hollywood actor preferred simple suits from department stores. He believed that outfits ought to be simpler to look better. And he stood by his beliefs by accessorizing his suits with basic stuff. He probably wore most suits in blue or gray and his shoes were black or brown. But the most important accessories he never missed were his smile and confidence. 

If you’re overdoing the styling or detailing, try minimizing them. Let’s learn from his suit style how to look elegant!
