The art of layering for men this fall
Let’s say I was able to convince you to layer your outfit this fall. How do you go about this?
# When it comes to visible layers, your undershirt sometimes can be flimsy and shoddy, but never an issue as long as it is discreet. Go for a simple sleeveless cotton shirt, extremely comfy and practical under-layer. If the under-shirt is seemingly tacky, then this isn’t for you.
# Do you have your untucked shirt tails jutting out of your sweater? It isn’t a great look at all. You shouldn’t try this out unless you desperately want to. In other words, never go for a blazer or sports jacket that is visibly longer than the coat on top of it during chiller months.

# The bright colors conundrum: If you’re provided with a palette of colors to choose from, ensure you select ones that share similarities between a couple of them, and this also implies that only one or two should be vividly bright shades. Wearing a hot pink shirt with green trousers and accessorizing the combo with a lemon yellow scarf is an over-the-top attempt at layering! Allow a couple of things to do the talking, and mute the rest of the outfit. The color difference offers a lot of “pop” on its own without any brightness taking everything forward.
# Alter the degree of pattern brightness from the lightest to strongest. That is to mean in a steady manner. If your topcoat is a classic herringbone tweed with an abundance of mottled color (heavy pattern), go for a muted sports jacket and a shirt of solid color so that the pattern loses its way systematically towards your core. You can also alternate with a plaid shirt; then, put on a jacket or sweater having a slightly visible texture with a solid, soft overcoat on top of it. Whatever be your choice, the transition is subtle and graduated rather than an off the cuff, unsettling back-and-forth.
# There is a practical function of every layer. Inner layers should be light and breathable against the skin, and draw moisture away from it. Coming to shirt layers, they should offer a decent visual anchor functioning as a contrasting layer above others, and be soft and breathable. Middle layers are generally jacket layers, but could also allow a cardigan or vest as a replacement. Outer layers or coat layers are meant for outdoors, and they include wool overcoats, trench coats, peacoats and almost any blazer coat. Shell layers are thin, protective outfits for inclement weather—and anything from Gore-Tex jacket to a waxed cotton field jacket can be choices. I think I’ve got you literally covered—an undershirt, a base shirt, a sweater or jacket, a topcoat, and if required a shell, you’re ready to go.
Shirts for men that always step out in style
Are you a man for all seasons? Do you stand up to high standards of fashion? Do the change of seasons and shifting tides of fashion intrigue you? This said do you have to burn a hole in your pockets every single time? Not necessarily. Fashion to me is abiding, can be cost-effective, and stocking up on items that build your closet in a step-by-step manner. How often do we overlook the importance of wearing the right shirt? This blog will serve as a primer on what shirts are appropriate at different levels of formal and casual occasions.
As a professional bespoke tailor, I classify shirts as either formal or casual based on the proper fit including the collar, fabric and pattern, in addition to with what you accessorize with.
Formal is “in”:
For professionals, irrespective of any fields or majors, wearing a crisp, well-tailored shirt that effuses a sense of trust and confidence in the office and elsewhere sends a strong signal that they are business-ready and serious about the outcomes.

The proper fit:
The fit of a shirt, though highly subjective, is what makes you ideally confident and feel comfy throughout the day, without leaning to fashion norms. While I have highlighted personal comfort on many occasions, I do believe there’s always a right way to flatter your body contour. Slim fit applies for lean and toned body silhouettes. Standard fit is ideal for the roly-poly men out there.

Standard fit is ideal for the roly-poly men out there.
Differentiating Formals & Casuals:
As I had discussed already, factors such as collar and fabric differentiate a formal shirt from a casual one. Let me break it down for you, starting from Collars. In terms of structure, Collars can be Formal, Classic, Spread, Wing tip and Club. One side chest pockets are tagged as formal, whereas double side pockets are considered informal. Formal Sleeve is of different types including Cuff- French, Double barrel cuff and Single barrel cuff. When it comes to hem, straight hems are a regular for untucked shirts; anything else is fine for office space. Keep the tone fabrics to a minimum without anything eye soaring or bold or loud. While all fabrics work well at the workplace, remember not all prints are appropriate. Formal shirts demand Classic prints including Linen, Solids, Checks and Formals.

Accessorizing your shirt:
Accessorize your shirt with the right statement pieces such as cufflink, tie or even a luxury pen to look seemingly fresh and spontaneous. Remember to match all your accessories with the right colors to that of a trim on the shirt, or go for tone-on-tone accessories for a toned-down appeal. Either way, I will leave it to you to take the call.

Made-to-Leisure? Bespoke tailors in the US are now making inroads into Custom Casual Wear space
Gone are the days when the idea of tailoring or creating bespoke wear is the default pick for the best-dressed or most successful men, yet of tailors who create men casual wear on a par with high-street fashion feel, there were only a handful of them. However, 2020 is the year of millennial or Gen Y fashion. Crafting comfy and relaxed staples for the millennials including polos, knit shirts and field jackets—and, particularly those trending in the WFH (work-from-home) age, robes and boxers—that are not only available ready-to-wear, but also bespoke or even made-to-measure. The biggest advantages of bespoke tailoring, of course, include personalized services and embodying the exact fit of high-end fashion, cut to the chase.
Today’s bespoke tailors offer a supply of stylish made-to measure outfit for almost every occasion: pique shirts, everyday trousers and suede trousers and other semi-casual wear. Tailors in the US known only for bespoke suit are expanding their horizon to give space to relaxed dress codes this fall—from down jackets to sweaters and jogger pants. There are others that make bespoke five-pocket trousers, besides fulfilling orders for boxer shorts, polo shirts and pajamas, customable denim and even polos. They have also expanded onto an extensive range of hoodies, sneakers, tracksuits, cashmere, ultra-fine wool knits, etc. And now fancy that! If not then change is where it’s at.
The best part of a casual bespoke product is that it’s in no way different from the readymade wear. And what’s more than choice of fabric, initial fitting, design specifications and any adjustments, if necessary to be made? Mobile tailors show up right at your doorstep for taking measurements, provide virtual consultations too (due to the ongoing pandemic), and have the finished product dispatched later. Not only is casual made-to-measure comparatively painless, its fit is also smart and chic in every aspect, though a few bucks extra won’t burn your fingers. Now, how do you like that?
Five outfits for Men this Fall
“Fashion is about dressing according to what’s fashionable. Style is more about being yourself.” —Oscar de la Renta
It is said that fashion is temporary, but style is permanent. This fall is no exception. Fall Fashion may come and go, but it is how you style yourself that really matters; how about investing in a selected range of fall outfit? After all, the season of fall is about vibrant colors and cool breezes, the go-between the hot, humid summers and biting winter cold, or may be mashing the two together!
There are a plethora of fall outfit options for men, but out here we bring you a few fall attire ideas, considering your existing stock in your wardrobe; it doesn’t mean you need to go for a whole set of new clothes specially for fall, may be some you have to.
It’s Layering Season:
Layering is an excellent way to counter the fall weather that is so unpredictable in many ways. Wearing different thin layers instead of one thick coat gives you a masculine appeal without the usual bundle feel.
Layering is an excellent way to counter the fall weather that is so unpredictable in many ways. Wearing different thin layers instead of one thick coat gives you a masculine appeal without the usual bundle feel.
Layering options: (a word of caution though, not to use all in the same attire): Polos, Henleys, Waistcoats & Odd vests, Long-sleeve T-shirts, Cardigans & Sweaters and Scarves.
A time for Knitwear:
Knitwear comes with a host of benefits; women subconsciously would like to touch and feel textured clothing. Knitwear makes an essential part of ‘the rugged yet comfy’ fall look. Ensure the knits you wear are well-fitted and not baggy. Pick thin and smooth fits as they are better for layering compared to the large-sized and bulky ones.

Layering options: Cardigans (regular collar & shawl), Sweater vest, Half-zip mock neck, Cable knit sweater, Button mock knecks and Sweaters (v-neck & crew)
Outwear:
When it comes to layering, outwear is only optional but accounts for a nice finishing touch.
Layering options: Topcoats, Waxed cotton jackets, Down coats, Pea coats, Overcoats, Leather jackets, Parkas
Fall Color Palette:
With the earth changing hues, your fall outfit can change palette too..
Color Palette: Navy, Browns, Burgundy, Olive Greens, Burnt Oranges & Gold

Boots as accessories:
Fall signals the time to pack up your dirty white sneakers, coming out of the summer, and go for a pair of boots. You have every reason to do so as they are stylish, and protect you from the cold and rainy weather.
Though there is no rule per se that layering is restricted to only three things, more than three would definitely make you look ungainly!

Top tailors are disrupting the made-to-measure market in more creative ways!
For those who’ve already written an obituary for the suit, the bad news out here for them is it’s very much alive and kicking. And the made-to-measure market is here to stay and thrive in more novel ways than ever before! The weight that the suit still carries in a formal setting—personalized job interviews, luncheons, or the wedding day—cannot be simply ruled out altogether. Times have changed, and so do one’s preferences and perceptions, but the made-to-measure market has found a silver lining. A case in point is a bespoke tailor in New York’s West Village who sends a sample jacket to his clients in the correct size. The response was overwhelming as his clients tried on the sample outfits, following which he took a few basic measurements, and worked with his pattern maker to produce the required fit.
Just when we thought bespoke two-piece is difficult to locate, the leading tailoring houses in Manhattan throw trunk shows regularly, so that you don’t have to fly down to make a new purchase. And there are a few NY retailers that would host less well-known masters who aren’t otherwise possible to visit. Customers too prefer to take the made-to-measure clothing route which is no longer restricted to only suits. Tailored preferences have started to take precedence over off-the-rack clothing options. Brightly colored trousers in cotton twills and linen fabric and boldly patterned sport coats are doing well in terms of orders for bespoke tailors.
The likes of unstructured suits and outfit made of softer materials are gaining prominence in the marketplace. Professionals are looking to be more casual and laid back these days, but the suit will stand the test of times in terms of style and elegance. There has also been a growing need for unstructured clothing—an extremely lightweight, slimmer and breathable design. For example, unlined deconstructed sport jackets made of cotton and jerseys and more luxurious fabrics including cashmere—materials that people find comfortable while working from home and still feel organized.
The trend is gradually shifting towards dressing down for business, but more formally out of work—in the customer’s social and leisure time. This is apparently good news for the made-to-measure market as it offers a gamut of cloth and style & pattern details to choose from. Only a bespoke tailor can strike the right chord between casual and formal, so that you can wear it for almost any setting. If you think bespoke tailoring is behind the age, give it a rethought, as wearing a formal outfit is still the convention as a minimum entry point into any professional environment.
Classic Summer pieces that should be in every man’s wardrobe
Sometimes in life you don’t have to dress to kill to impress your guests or onlookers, or throw on everything under the sun like the floral Cuban collar shirt or trousers to make heads turn, you simply need to nail the basics with a properly fitted white T-shirt or sleek and dandy penny loafers. Here are some classic summer pieces that deserve a place in every man’s closet.
Grey Tailored Trousers:
Contrary to popular opinion, tailored trousers aren’t just constructed for the everyday office variety. Cut slim with a tapered fit, tailored trousers are casual wear that’s a step up from your typical weekend gear, which can also double as a great pick for summer wedding separates. Tailored trousers are a men’s wardrobe staple, and switching to a lighter shade is a great way to stock your wardrobe this summer. Choosing a light grey tone teams well with pastels or neutrals for a cool summer look.
White Long-Sleeved Shirt:
How many shirts do you think you can own, or rotate use on a daily basis? A functional shirt is a white long-sleeved version. It’s not just constructed for the doctors, bankers and lawyers and top-level professionals, but a solid choice that can easily transcend professional wear demands, and turn to an occasional casual outfit. For summer, I recommend going for a linen option for an extra layer of breathability pairing with a light colored chinos, accessorizing with loafers.
Printed Short-Sleeved Shirt:
Fast Fashion knew no bounds, and that is evident from the way it makes selection a chore. Even crazy street fashion knows a souvenir jacket is chic and trendy. What about a printed shirt sporting the style of Harry Styles or Rami Malek? Infuse a bit of animation to a suit, or style solo alongside your favorite chinos or jeans. You can even go for Hawaiian shirt if it is a good fit. Pick bold, bright colors and distinct patterns and pair this with basic separates—the shirt will speak for itself.
Cotton Polo Shirt:
There are several classics in the range of men’s wear, but the polo shirt is definitely a cut above the rest. The grand old style, under the brand name of Lacoste and Fred Perry, has literally remained unfazed ever since it was first introduced in the early 20th century. This timeless sporting piece can still challenge the newer roll-outs, and can be paired with anything from tailored trousers to swim shorts. What I recommend: Pick a polo shirt in blue and pink, and pair with matching navy shorts and accessorize with some white trainers.
Lightweight Blazer:
Needless to say, a lightweight, slightly deconstructed blazer not only keeps you smart in warmer months, but with the use of fabrics like seersucker, linen and cotton, you’ll also look chic and not too formal this summer. Experiment with a printed revere collar and make a strong style statement throughout the season.
That isn’t everything we have for you in this blog. Do feel free to tag along more classic summer pieces this summer.
Pros & Cons of Measurement Apps Versus getting measured by a Professional
Technological background:
Technology has taken rapid strides ever since the first online store for clothing emerged on the web in 1995. Back then it was only shopping convenience—a click of the button at the comfort of the home or office. Still nothing could sway the gentlemen who wanted the best of the best, be it custom tailored shirts, pants, jackets or bespoke suits. Beginning in the 2010’s, the rise of AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) technology transformed the way tailoring was done. AR and VR apps provided an intuitive way to measure the correct fitting for any outfit, whether ‘off-the-shelf’ or bespoke, right from the customer’s smartphone…easier done than said!
Virtual fitting measurement apps capture a user’s tailoring measurement in a matter of a few seconds. Fully customizable, they allow the user to choose the fabric used, collar, length, button placement, pattern and length. The customization aspects including key measurement data apply for men and women of any weight, height or silhouette-type. The highlight of most measurement apps is the integration of an intuitive User Interface (UI) which enables you to choose any style feature you want such as Collars, Cuffs, Lapels, Plackets, Fits and more.
Pros & Cons of Measurement Apps:
# During the measurement process, selecting the fabric with a measurement app is a breeze. One can select the fabric variation, in addition to structures, checks and stripes. The fabric selected and the final visualization of the tailored construction can be instantly viewed on the app. All said and done, when it comes to the selection of the fabric, experience will tell you that bespoke tailors, due to their direct connection with fabric manufacturers and suppliers, can readily understand the finesse and utility of the fabric material, and recommend the optimal solution.
# Measurement apps are built to provide a tailored fit just with the click of a button. You can pick between regular, slim, relaxed or even loose fitting, as well as select your shirt length, depending on whether you tuck or untuck your shirts—all these and more. A tailoring professional, on the other hand, may rely on 100% perfect fit from every angle and crevice, agreed, the process is a tad time-consuming. By definition, a bespoke fit is tailored to exact the measurement specifications.
# Customization is another key feature of most measurement apps. It ensures custom fit without getting yourself measured every time. And also the margin for error is very small, considering its automation capabilities. A tailoring professional is again your best friend when it comes to customization. Fine and minute tailoring adjustments can be easily identified by traditional methods. With a bespoke tailor, you’ll feel more confident than ever!
Though the pros of using a measurement app may outweigh its cons, remember that many a measurement processes are automated, based on historical trends and already available data fed into the system, which also explains why a measurement app cannot alternate professional measurement process.
Rules For Summer Wedding Outfit Style For Men
If your summer is becoming a seemingly endless run of other people’s nuptials, then the summer wedding season is on. It is also the time when we consciously deliberate over wedding attire. What is a stricter dress code? What isn’t? There of course is a right answer. If the wedding invitation doesn’t tell you everything, there are other things that can give you a headstart in choosing the right wedding style. This blog, though not necessarily a precept, has few factors to tick to steer you in the right direction.
Read (& heed) the wedding invite:
If you think the invitation is just a little piece of paper, think again. It is the first clue which puts you in command over what to wear for the occasion. The details should be scanned, and checked for specifics if they point towards a particular style, when attending a wedding. The most important point here is the adherence to the prescribed dress code.
The venue:
It is worthwhile to review the venue considering where it’s taking place. If it’s a swanky beach ceremony, then you should be ideally better off with a light-colored suit and white short-sleeved shirt on. Loafers worn sockless can be the right accessory. If it’s a summer wedding, a darker look may provide more coverage serving you better.
Keep it personal:
Wedding dress codes are mostly strict in nature, but that doesn’t mean you cannot get personal. Whether formal or informal, you need to ensure what you wear is the best fit for the occasion, yet remain true to your personality. Adding a nicely folded printed pocket square, or a brogue with a contrast-sole can personalize your look in a subtle way.
Upstaging the Groom:
That’s a strict no no. While you may look to win quick style points, don’t intend to hog the limelight by upstaging the groom. Now, that’s almost a gentleman’s agreement! Avoid full morning dress for somewhat informal weddings and of course reserve that neon pink suite for another bash, or may be more fittingly, a fancy-dress outing.
Choosing the right fabric:
Selecting the right suit fabric is a major consideration particularly during the dry and humid summers when rising temperatures and profuse sweating can undo your bespoke tailoring efforts.
Breathable materials including cotton, linen and a combo of both go well with weddings in hotter climes, while cotton-wool blend and merino wool styles are the best pick if the marriage is hosted in areas with relatively moderate temperatures.

Absolutely Safe For Work Summer Outfits For Men
As the weather heats up, and the summers get warmer and dryer, we bring you six cool outfits to enhance men’s professional business image. Nevertheless, it wasn’t that easy a task for us as every office has its own dress codes. Also, only a thin line separates a casual outfit from a workplace one, and it was important for us to thread the line carefully. Here is what we’ve come up for you in this blog:
Tropic Business Casual:
If you want to look business casual on a Friday, put on a short sleeve button down sporting a tropic print. Pair it with stretch chinos and suede chukkas for a bit of fun. You can keep the shirt untucked for a more casual office environment, or tucked in for a more buttoned-up setting.
Dressed-up Denim:
If you think it’s a blooper, think again: go daring by going denim on denim. Put on a pair of black jeans or dark wash to make it sync with a stonewash denim jacket. Do a bit of layering over a printed shirt with suede Chelsea boots for a piercing look with a little something extra.
Casual Button-Down & Jeans:
This is a staple of casual workplace outfit. Wear a light button-down pairing with dark jeans and a suitable pair of shoes for all day long comfort. This mellowed down look will go along well in the office as it will at cocktail hour.
Short Sleeves & Chinos:
Wearing a short sleeved polo almost guarantees you a cool look during the workday. Team it with light chinos and accessorize with a pair of wingtip shoes for a spiffy tone and sophisticated feel.
Casual, lightweight Blazer:
Don’t shy away from situations from where you need to dress up a bit: put on a blazer with an oxford shirt and chinos. Go for blazers that are made of lightweight fabric such as cotton, and are unstructured or unlined for more ventilation.
Linen suit & Suede Sneakers:
With some confidence comes great comfort and serious style; here is one such hack that can pull off a stunning look: wear a linen shirt and dress it down with a polo shirt underneath a pair of canvas sneakers or suede.
Whether you prefer wearing lightweight fabrics, short sleeves or a little casual outfit, the choice is entirely yours to stay cool and comfy, while still sporting a regular office-appropriate look.

Men’s Summer Fashion Pants – A Quick Hack
There is nothing like the perfect summer pants that do not sync with the fabric, and that which disperses without restricting movement. Looser fitting trousers made from cotton or linen call the shots this summer, while thicker fabrics and skinnier fits can afford to take a welcome break. The rising heat not withstanding, a few pairs of weather-friendly pants are for keeps for colder days and nights out on the town.
Chino Pants:
The chino pants are a fit for all seasons and often alternate jeans as a go-to pair of trousers. They come with a twill weave and alternate for a neutral look. A free loose style (classic fit, certain slim fits) with the bottom cuffed once in a while. Though khaki and navy are ubiquitous in terms of color, don’t say no to expressive tones. Off-white chinos may come trump this summer season.
Linen Pants:
Linen pants have always been in vogue, and turn talk of the town during summer, almost doubling the prospects of pants fitting into the wardrobe. Roomier, looser linen trousers spell supreme comfort and classic style. The wrinkle-free properties of linen parts blend well with that of cotton with some even featuring an equal proposition of linen and cotton.
Lightweight Jeans:
The warm weather is no deterrent to guys looking to hang around with their favorite pair of jeans. I am not indifferent to this attitude. Thinner denim content and light washes can result in light weight denim that’ll keep you cool even if you’re sweating profusely. With a range of light colors to choose for men this summer, reserve the dark wash indigo denim for the cold and chilly days. This year men’s summer style will shift towards a more laid back style comprising thicker jean cuffs, usually teamed with cool chunk sneakers or minimalist white shoes.
Shorts:
When it comes to the selection of men’s short, try to strike a middle ground between too long and too short. There are a plethora of men’s shorts to choose from including Cotton/Chino Shorts, Jean Shorts and lightweight Sweat Shorts
Men’s Summer Fashion Shirts – A Quick Hack
The summers are back; a good rule-of-thumb as for the selection of shirt fabrics is natural fibers (compared to synthetic materials). This is because synthetics entrap moisture rather than releasing it freely. This means they are not breathable and perspiration-resistant. Lighter fabrics also fair well in terms of weight, fabric weave and cut helping you stay cooler during summer. Though cotton is the dominant fabric for men’s summer style, I’ve presented a few on-trend pieces that will turn heads this summer season:
Chambray Shirt:
Chambray is an extremely lightweight plainly woven fabric. Though similar to denim in aesthetic sense, it retains the moisture-wicking and breathable properties of lighter fabrics—just the thing you need for the hot summers. Chambray comes in a range of colors, though it is always woven using a white thread that produces a pastel sheen. I recommend your picking a light blue, light red or white this summer.
Linen Shirt:
Linen shirts are absolutely stylish and simplistic making it a staple summer wear. As Linen comes from fibers of the flax plant, the material is strong, quick drying and absorbent. Linen, being wrinkle-free, gives a more comfy and casual feel among all summer outfits. Linen is highly breathable; therefore, I prefer long sleeve button downs over short sleeves. Recommended colors include off-white, white, olive and light blue.
Seersucker Shirt:
Another fabric that is quite popular like Linen is seersucker, puckered cotton that sits next to skin. The rippling in the material helps you to stay away from the torrid heat and humidity. Usually, a thin pattern of stripes, “railway stripes” are woven into the cloth, but you can also check out seersucker in fun patterns and solids as well. Seersucker is the fancy side of men’s summer fashion; therefore, it’s a perfect fit for your wardrobe.
Slim T-shirt & Short Sleeve Henley:
Any versatile summer wear for men than the comfy, good-fitting and lightweight tees? Stripes are definitely fun without being too dour. You can even pick solid light colors such as Persimmon or burnt orange and light green or sage. You can even add characters without distorting too dark for the rays of the sun.
While long-sleeved equivalents are mainstream for any winter and fall wardrobe, a short-sleeve Henley adds a lot of oomph to the regular line-up of tees. Henleys elicit their design inspiration from a regular tee, with 3-4 buttons added for a bold outfit.

Men’s Spring-Summer Fashion – A quick Guide – Part 2
We’ll begin from where we left in the previous blog. Fashion always gets better with a dose of unusualness. A case in point is the simplistic black and white sneakers with shoes of irregular colors that are delicately decorated with several accessories.
Every brand ensures sneakers come with unusual ornaments. Therefore, every gentleman will be able to renew his current suite of shoe collection with chic sneakers. Such shoes can rival even the best in the ranks with its characteristic comfort and style.
Toon characters:
In a few collections, you can find cartoon images used to craft a unique style including prints of your favorite toon characters decorated with jackets, T-shirts and sweatshirts for everyday style. Don’t think such styles go only with today’s teenagers, but even an adult can prefer to throw in an interesting theme to produce an image of “urban madman”. You can also experiment these designs not just with clothes but also shoes and other accessories. Printed watches sporting the same animated look can appear dashing, and keep up with the style game.
Androgyny:
Brewing the fashion storm Clothes with a dose of androgynousness is not the fit for every fashionista. As this is merely a subject of choice for the most provocative and creative male who plays around with chic and trendy flagrantness.
Therefore, designers in this spring-summer season provide classic men’s suits to go with their light shirts, perhaps something that may display semblance of women’s clothing. Moreover, stylists also provide silk or lace as the primary material for bespoke suits. We all know skirt is a sheer female attribute. But make no mistake, designers have come out with an unusual piece of clothing trouser suits.
Accessories call the shot this season!
The right form of accessories can transform even an ordinary outfit into one that will turn heads. The secret however is to select the right accessories styled for the occasion. Remember sunglasses are the key to producing a stunning look for the spring-summer season. You can also pick colored lenses with a frame to complement the palette of options.
Bottom Line
We believe the above-mentioned points will enable you to cull out your preferred men’s fashion for the spring-summer season. Do remember that these fashion styles are here to stay. So, what are you waiting for? Start adding these items to your wardrobe for the super-perfect look.
