#ThrowbackThursdays
In the 1920’s, much of men’s clothing fashion was inspired by what popular athletes like Golf stars Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen wore, including the plus-fours, plus-sixes and plus-eights pants layering them with colorful Fair Isle sweaters (multi-pattern, multi-colored sweater styles). The popularity of tennis ensured the white trousers and V-neck sweaters swayed influence over young folks around town.
However, the sports influence wasn’t restricted to golf and tennis stars alone, as popular footballers like Red Grange promoted the coat phenomenon. Red was instrumental in introducing the raccoon coat and the camel hair polo coat into the roaring 20’s fashion era.

Go Bold With Trying Out Loud Colors
#WearitWednesday
Put a new zing into the traditional semi-formal outfit by trying out with colors. Though most tailors advise against choosing anything too loud (a strict no-no against the standard semi-formal dress code), you can, however, experiment with a range of hued suit combinations that are trendy. Whether it’s forest green, powder blue, lavender purple, coral, or burgundy red, you’re almost guaranteed to make a bold fashion statement for acceptance.
How To Pack Your Suit
#TeachingTuesdays
Are you packing your suit?
Packing your suit? Ensure you turn your suit inside out before you pack it into your suitcase. This might sound weird, but by reversing the suit, you can minimize creases. Nevertheless, you can never guarantee there’ll be a trouser press or iron where you’re staying.
This Monday, Orange Is The New Black
#MotivationalMondays
“Color is a power which directly influences the soul.” –Wassily Kandinsky
There we go; another fresh week to stay productive and focused, as we’ll deal only with bold bright colors, and how it can actually influence the way we dress and, more importantly, how we identify with our selves. The Orange, undoubtedly, is the new black—no less, no more. As for me, orange effuses positivity and yeah, it stands out. The orange suit helps you make a stylish statement. Nonetheless, it’s got the moves to work in both your casual wardrobe and your party assortment.
CHECK OUT THIS HIPSTER WEDDING STYLE LOOK
#WeddingsByBucco
“Great marriages are contagious, if you want a great marriage, surround yourself with couples who have one.” – Mark and Laquilla Lane
Hipster wedding style look is a combination of classic elements (suit jackets, suspenders, tie clips) having sophisticated lines and tight tailoring. It’s fresh and playful that is in complete harmony with the traditional, and we are up for it. Swap out the vest for some slick satin suspenders, and shorten those pant legs that are good enough to flaunt your patterned socks.
PATCH POCKETS – A GREAT CASUAL ADDON TO YOUR BLAZER
#FreestyleFridays
A patch pocket is one that’s been made out of a separate piece of cloth, and then sewn on the exterior of your blazer or sports jacket. Similar to the unstructured blazer, patch pockets form a great casual style with personal flair. A quick style hack is that if you’ve decided upon choosing patch pockets, it should be all the exterior pockets that are patched and not simply one or two. Also, ensure everything syncs well in terms of pattern or color. These modern, casual blazers for men can lend the perfect complement to a low-key yet chic and fashionable winter or autumn wear.
CHANGE OF FORMAL TO SEMI-CASUAL WORK WEAR – WHAT HAS CHANGED?
Sack Suits Takes Back To The Beginning Of 20th Century
#ThrowbackThursdays
The beginning of the 20th century saw men wearing sack suits, generally plain, long, loose-fitting—to the extent they were baggy suit jackets having 2.75-inch-wide lapels and a one-to three-button closure. Though modern suits are somewhat similar, they are generally more fitting and shorter in length. Sack suits measure between 30 and 32 inches in length (down to mid-thigh), and either single or double breasted having 3 buttons. Preferred color choices were grey, dark navy, brown and green.
Choose Unstructured Blazer This Wednesday
#WearitWednesday
There are many who consider interior padding and stylish blazers to be invariably a subset of the same package. But here’s something to change your preconceived idea. Remove the interior padding to allow the unstructured blazer break free from the traditional model and constraint to give a fab fit and rather laid back aesthetic.
Frequently made of a single layer of material, the forms an ideal summer or springtime wear because it removes some weight off the body. All said men should exercise caution because only a fine line separates men’s casual suits and downright unkempt. The point is to go for an unstructured blazer that seizes your tailored style and frivolous spirit in equal proportions. Let it be loose, though not too loose.
Unbutton Your Suit While Sitting
#TeachingTuesdays
Unfasten all the buttons of your suit when sitting
A rule of the thumb when sitting with the suit on is to unfasten all the buttons of your suit. This will allow you to sit comfortably and avoid any damage on the coat.
Stylish Upgrade For Your Formal Events
#MotivationalMondays
“I don’t like to gamble, but if there’s one thing I’m willing to bet on, it’s myself.”— Beyonce
Here’s a stylish upgrade that you can bet on: a cut above the notch lapel in terms of style, the peak lapel comes with top lapel edges pointing upward at sharp angles right below the collar. A regular on double-breasted suits, and thereby a frequent fashion choice at formal events. Whilst not as immediately flashy as the shawl lapel, the peak lapel nonetheless resonates high-end style and sophistication. Wear it sagaciously.
Black Dotted Dinner Jacket For Your Wedding
#WeddingsByBucco
“The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.” – Robert C. Dodd
Your big day couldn’t get better with this classic and luxurious black dotted dinner jacket. With two deep pockets at bottom, this breast pocket finished jacket is fully lined with 100 per cent satin. It is just perfect for hosting, smoking, lounging and all occasions.
Choose Tiny Dots Pattern Over Solids
#FreestyleFridays
More often than not, mistaken as a solid suit, this mini pattern is actually composed of tiny dots that are generally a lighter color on a dark background or fabric. You can replace these suits for any solid suits and can still be worn to work and other casual events too. Mix it up with the right color, you can wear this suit for most occasions. I won’t recommend wearing this suit to any ultra-formal event.
