NYC: The Wolf of Wall Street

NYC men always look as though they are headed to work or coming off of work.  It's about dressing nice and suiting up because one wants to and not because one has too--that's what I love about NYC.  It's a change to walk into a bar with a full-on suit and not a single person thinks twice or assumes you are overdressed. 

--I love New York

Change Up: ASOS x VC Selections Part II

As seen on GQ: How GQ Are You?

     We've seen what a floral shirt and a classic Fred Perry jacket can look like.  Now let's add some urban edge and pair the exact same outfit with a white denim jacket.  It goes to show that an extensive wardrobe isn't needed--rather mixing items will radically change any look.

Scott's Menswear: Fred Perry Part II

     To flip how a typical sailing jacket is worn--I paired it with a floral shirt and a polka-dot tie.  I hope you guys enjoy how I balanced bold with some classic pieces.

Fall Style with Stone Rose

The refinements that make the man

     Blazers and suit pieces are often the most tailored articles of clothing and that's the reason I have often stated that the tailor should be your best friend.  Rarely can I find a blazer that fits perfectly out of the bag because they are made for a wide range of body types.  However, Stone Rose 100% wool blazer was fitted perfectly right off the hanger.  The combination of classic lines with modern details such as subtle contrast stitching and double lapel slits adds just enough style to fit any man.  A fall-plaid shirt by Stone Rose adds style and comfort to an outfit that works just as well at work as it does on a night out. 

     When mixing blazers with slacks, I stay away from matching the pieces because attempting to match makes it appear as though I'm trying to pass it off as a matching suit set.

     Don't be afraid to pair pattern on pattern.  If I'm wearing a large print shirt, then I go with a minimal print tie and vice versa.

Shopping For The Budget Conscious Gent

     I've recently had the privilege to guest write on some of the most prominent fashion sites and blogs. As I dive deeper into these endeavors, I will share the links on this blog.
     
     Head over to Simply Dapper and read my article on how to shop on a budget, but still look like you stepped off the runways of Milan.
