A warning before you get too attached to this one – the denim jacket look is tougher to pull off but is useful for ditching the office before quitting time and bombing over to the cottage early. It takes a very special man to pull this off and not look like a total joker, so make sure you pass this one by your girlfriend before stepping out into public. __________________________ The Elements The Shirt – Start with a monochromatic shirt and a colorful tie. The Jackets – Leave the blazer at home. When it's time to ditch to the cottage for the weekend, zip up a track jacket or hoodie, pull the hood or collar out and add vintage jean jacket, denim blazer or bomber jacket right over top of the hoodie or track jacket. The Pants – Keep the suit pants. The Shoes – Downplay the shoes to keep yourself looking cool and smart. Try a pair of flat-footed Vans or Converse sneakers. (Note: The denim jacket is the star in this look.) __________________________ The Message I can’t wait for the weekend. 4. Blazin’ Style Instead of playing up specific parts of your suit, this look enables you to play up the entire outfit. This blazer-denim jean combo was pretty big in the 90s and certainly has the potential to work today. Again, be careful how you wear this. Because you have several elements mixing together, it's important that each item of clothing works very well. So be patient with this one. __________________________ The Elements The Shirt & Jacket – Keep the blazer, but instead of a wide-open collared shirt, throw on a t-shirt and overlay it with a color contrasting v-neck. If you choose to go with a button-up shirt, keep it tucked in. The Pants – Ditch the suit pants and replace them with a pair of dark, relaxed premium denim jeans. Avoid extensive sandblasted jeans, wash treated jeans, or jeans with patchwork. You are showcasing the whole look – not your legs! The Shoes – Wear anything from biker boots to dark sneakers. The creativity is in your court, just make sure they match the blazer. The Accessories – Avoid the suit belt and opt for a strap on flat black belt with a plain buckle. __________________________ The Message who ever said the maverick-man was extinct? _____________________________________________________ the suit makes the man There’s no question that these are four very distinct styles. And when it comes down to the fine points of each of these looks, you’ll find there are even more elements that give you a chance to put your own spin on it. The bottom line – put some serious thought into your suit selection. Are you a refined gentleman or a new-age rocker? No answer is universal to all of us, and you can be sure no suit is either. |
