Mixing textures and patterns staying in the same color family creates interest and depth to your look without being too bold. Perfect for a business dinner or dressy evening affair or to the office if you dare!
For the serious dresser, pocket squares make your look. Pair a patterned pocket square in a contrasting color to add elements of interest to your look. Stripes, paisley, plaid, or polka dots look fabulous with monotone suit jackets or shirts.
From lighter shades of gray to deep gunmetal gray, a black and gray combination always looks sharp and very current. Go from the office to a night on town in these looks.
Color allows you to express yourself. Don't be afraid to try bold colors and prints.
This would pop more with a bold striped shirt.
Layer your look to add depth and style. Sweaters, vests, scarves...the more the merrier! Texture and prints are key to rocking this look!
For edgier night on the town looks, or for the hipster guys, belts, cool cuffs, watches and chains, and embellishment such as zippers, buttons, and pins make you look casual cool.
Edge this look up with by partially tucking in the shirt and adding belt with a cool buckle. A leather cuff completes the look.
Style Tip: How a suit fits you is just as important if not more important than what you wear. Proper tailoring is key. It should fit exactly to your proportions, no matter what your build is. Custom suits are your best friend. Clothier's offer this but be clear that a lot carry "ready to wear" which is not to your exact proportions or built for your body. If you have clothier questions or are looking for recommendations of whom to work with, contact Divine Style DC. I have relationships and partnerships with many in Washington, DC and nationwide.
