Clarity can spell grace this season: vintage denim may seem a lot like a light wash; a blue pair of jeans in a straight-cut fit and a somewhat high waist– much like the trouser. This stylish wear may look striking like Levi’s 501 jean, capacious in the seat, and tapered from the knee down for a great modern fit. Pair them with everything, except maybe with a bespoke tailored suit such as a formal blazer.

What Is Made To Measure?

Dressing down a suit doesn’t get any simpler than pairing with a t-shirt. Pick a decent tee in your arsenal. Solid neutral colors are the top choice, but don’t ditch more unexpected contrasting color combinations and upscale graphic t-shirts. If you’re adopting the t-shirt kind of casual, you can also include edge with nicely-chosen accessories.

What’s the “break”?
The break is the fold or creasing of the fabric where your pant leg meets your shoe. There’s only a thin line that differentiates no-break well-fitting pair of pants from ones that are too short. Therefore, make sure you have a reliable tailor at hand to alter your dress pants. And again, go for more conservative colors like navy, grey or camel. If you do wear more colored pants, ensure they’re suitably muted.

“Clarity, clarity, surely clarity is the most beautiful thing in the world, A limited, limiting clarity I have not and never did have any motive of poetry But to achieve clarity.“
–George Oppen

Now, let’s face it, clothing is success. Are your outfits attracting or repelling clarity? Talking about clarity in dressing professionally at the workplace, I recommend a charcoal gray and a medium gray color suit if you are in your 40’s. For younger men, I recommend they add a lighter shade or go with a black or navy blazer or a patterned sports coat.

Not surprisingly (I’m serious!), this wool-silk and linen blend suit against an ocean backdrop is a gem of a wedding suit. If you’re throwing or attending a wedding by the beach, this light blue style is a default choice.

SUMMER SUIT FABRICS – ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

Oh my surprises of surprises! These super-lightweight linen pants come with a comfy & relaxed fit and elastic ankles—or put simply, they’re ideally suited for travel. Bring them on your tour to throw on for dinner when it gets ‘icy’ by the beach.

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

The infamous Zoot Suit surprisingly took the inner city youth by storm, especially those in bright colors, loose pants and long jackets that modelled the bold 40s fashion men style statement of the later 40s.

Why Should You Own a Suit?

#WearItWednesday
You receive a ‘surprise’ fancy invitation to a formal event, but you decide to dress it down to keep it semi-casual. Any option? I recommend any Chino pant that blends a sleek, tailored look with the comfy of four-way stretch, in addition to quick drying and moisture- wicking features.

Cheap suits are associated with flimsy shiny plastic buttons that are easily broken or lost during a particularly eventful day. While you’re at the tailor anyway, replace the cheap buttons with genuine horn. Simple but worth the effort!

“Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.” –Alice Walker
Do we really need to live frugally on surprise? And that’s the question that will carry all of us throughout this week. Why not surprise onlookers with a simple two-button suit, your wardrobe workhorse? This classy silhouette can be dressed up for marriages or dressed down for the workplaces. It’s an all-in-all option! Looking to get one? Ensure it is navy in mid-weight fabric, as this is the most refined and adaptable option.

FALL IS ALMOST DONE, BUT THE COLORS LIVE ON

“Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom when we love the ones we marry.” –Tom Mullen
Coming back to life means enjoying the truly joyous moments of life through love. I love a linen suit for a summer wedding but the style above is somewhat striking. Accessorize with slip-on loafers or white sneakers for a casual but sophisticated look.

WHY MADE-TO-FIT SHIRTS & SUITS ARE POPULAR WITH GROOMS?

It doesn’t get more casual than the vertical stripe. It is a great way to play around with prints. Secondly, it can make you look taller and trimmer (and that’s a bonus). Go for styles with stripes with varying width. Or simply settle down with classic stripes or even seersuckers, if you’d like to keep things subtle.
