Black Tie Dress that is Classic but Unique

Tuxedos seem like the embodiment of formal men's fashion. They have a long tradition of style behind them, and the general rule is that you wear them as you were taught. That is, you shouldn't play around with this ensemble that's been passed down through the generations. Restrictions like that, however, don't mean that you have to be stuck with exactly the same penguin suit that everyone else wears. You can still set yourself apart.

Tailoring
Most fashion guides would recommend that, for something as crucial as a tuxedo, you get it made custom, or as the expert calls it: "bespoke". Renting is still a good option if you're on a budget, wear a tux only 2 or 3 times in a decade, or are still expanding on the waistline. Nevertheless, a custom tailored tux gives you many choices to create a very personal clothing item that's unique, but at the same time classic and elegant.

One option to create a slightly different looking tux is to switch up the lapels from the standard peak-lapel to a more fashion-forward shawl collar. It's a younger, sleeker silhouette that will make all the other guys around you seem a little stuffy and up-tight. We suggest shawl lapels either made from velvet or fine silk.

Besides lapels you can choose from a wide range of fabrics for the inner lining. Add something that is personal and unique. There are many more choices than solid black, cream, or white. Playing around with the typical proportions of the ensemble also becomes an option if you choose to get your tux tailored. Shorter men could choose a more abbreviated jacket, and trousers with less “break” to complement their statue.

Hardware
Fashion guides will also tell you not to fiddle around with the basic components of a tux ensemble: The combination of jacket, trousers, pleated tuxedo shirt, black bow tie, and patent leather dress shoes. However, adding subtle flashes of hardware is one of the oldest tricks in the style book to create a more refined and more unique outfit.

The best “classics” are cufflinks, stud-buttons, and a dress watch or the more traditional pocket watch. If you chose to wear stud-buttons then make sure that the color harmonizes the look. Best are black, as well as ivory-colored mother of pearl studs. In addition, the studs should match the cufflinks. If you wear a wrist watch make sure that the metal matches the other pieces of hardware on your outfit. If you happen to own a pocket watch, then do not wear both, wrist and pocket watch, together. Also, a pocket watch must we worn with a waistcoat and secured by a matching color chain.

Other Accessories
Besides the standard pieces of hardware, as mentioned above, there are a few other accessories to choose from to create an elegant “James Bond like” outfit. One of such accessories is the opera shawl. The opera shawl is usually made from silk or cashmereThe classic colors are either white or an ivory-cream. Most opera shawls are decorated by intricate tassels on each end. The opera shawl is not tied around the neck, but instead worn loosely around the shoulders. It is a clothing accessory that men traditionally wore so they could offer it their date during an Opera’s intermission.

Learn to Dress Like a President

Whenever the President has a pubic appearance nothing on his ensemble is left up to chance. Fashion consultants will ensure that whatever the President wears suits the occasion as much as it compliments his color profile. This input was quite evident during the Speech of the Union yesterday evening. Mr Obama's outfit conveys authority, confidence, and competence - all things a president should embody. His 2 button, solid color, midnight blue suit gives his ensemble a classic frame. His solid white dress shirt also couldn't be more classic. The collars have a standard spread and the cuffs are traditionally one-buttoned. What adds color and live to the outfit is the cherry-red tie. Red is a color of passion, confidence, and authority - the perfect complementary color for a President's outfit.

Also, worth noting is the background of the stage. On his left is Vice President Biden who is dressed in a more modern fashion. His 3-button dark-blue suit, white French-cuffed dress shirt, lavender striped necktie, and white pocket square are much more fashion forward than Obama's ensemble. Nevertheless, it is quite elegant and very well put together. Next, lets have a look at Nancy Pelosi's dress. Her lavender colored suit perfectly compliments the color of Mr Biden's tie. This is not a coincidence. When looking at the overall picture of Obama in the frint center, then the shades of lavender create a nice frame. Lavender is a color that is said to be a romantic and imaginative color. It is a color that compliments the blue found on the suits and the American falg hangin in the background as much as it harmonizes well with the red on Obama's tie. and the stripes on the flag. If you like the tie that Obama wears then you may want to have a look at this Red Striped Tie.

Popular Pink Ties for the Spring 2010

Pink is an upbeat and happy color. Even though this color was once considered feminine, it has now has found a solid place in mens fashion.

Ever since Donald Trump has made the pink tie and charcoal suit his signature look during the reality show "the Apprentice" have businessmen adopted the pink tie into their wardrobe. Below are the three best selling pink ties out of our Spring & Summer collections 2010. For a closer view of each tie please click on the image below.

Formal and Elegant
This solid pink tie is perfect for the man seeking an elegant-formal look for the spring and summer. Compared to brighter shades of pink, this tie is less overpowering and more subtle. It creates and "approachable" appearance without compromising elegance in the ensemble. This tie is handmade from 100% Italian silk. The tie has excellent shine and soft feel. To match this tie we suggest solid white dress shirts - excellent are finely woven cotton-twill shirts - and light to charcoal gray suit. Also great is a matching light pink pocket square with this tie.





Trendy Business
Stripes are the most classic necktie pattern. It is not surprising that over half of the average businessman's wardrobe consists of striped ties. This pink and purple striped tie combines two fashionable colors with a conservative diagonal striped pattern. It is a tie that looks best on top of a solid rose-pink shirt and suits in any shade of gray or navy. What makes this tie special is the fabric weave combination of smooth silk in the light pink and finely ribbed textured pattern in the purple stripes.







Bright & Playful
This bright pink tie is perfect for those who want to draw more attention to their ensemble. Although quite bright in color it is a tie that is elegant enough for the office. The fine floral pattern on this tie is not printed on but woven into the fabric - giving the tie more depth and a better drape. This tie is best paired with solid white dress shirt or white shirts with fine herringbone pattern. The best suit colors are navy and gray. Our top choice to match this tie: solid white dress shirt with fine herringbone pattern, navy blue 2-button suit with fine pin stripes, brown shoes and the matching brown belt.

Top 8 Tips to Proper Trouser Fit

Learn the basics on pant and trouser fitting. Even the nicest suit will look out of place if each clothing item is not tailored and worn to perfection. The eight tips below will make sure that your trousers will have the perfect fit.

• The waistband of your pants should be worn as near to the natural waistline as possible. If the trousers are worn too low then the crotch will hang too low. In addition the pant legs will not have the right fit and may appear baggy and sloppy.


• The pant's waistband should lie flat against the body. It the waistband curls up then this is usually a sign the the waistband is cut too tightly - maybe some incentive to loose a few pounds.


• Some trousers have ironed creases. Make sure that these creases are always accentuated by hanging the trousers the right way - alongside the crease. The crease should run towards the center of the shoes. Should the pant creases not fall down straight then this is usually a sign that the trousers are cut too tightly at the legs and the butt.


• For those trousers that have turn-up cuffs make sure they fall over the show with no more than one break. No socks should be visible when standing. It is OK for the cuffs to hang slightly over the back of the shoe but should never touch the ground.


• If your trousers have belt loops then never go without wearing a belt. Most bespoke suits do not have belt loops since they are made to measure. Instead the trousers are adjusted by inner elastic straps.


• Straight and slated pockets should always lie flat and not bulge out - a sight that the trousers are too small at the upper leg and buttock area.


• Make sure that the pant style matches the rest of your outfit. Most important here are whether or not to choose pleated or non-pleated pants. Pleated pants are common for Italian cut suits and look excellent with modern 3 button suit jackets as well as with pin striped patterned fabrics. Non-pleated pants, known as the British cut, look great with blazer jackets, double-breasted jackets, as well as with 2-button jacket styles. For men with a larger waistline pleated pants may be preferable as they will provide additional comfort and movement.


• The length of the trousers should be just long enough to cover your shoes and conceal your calfs and ankles when standing. When seated it is acceptable to show 2-4 inches of socks but never skin. For more tips you may also want to read our article on Matching Socks.

Pocket Square Matching - Colors, Patterns, Folds, and Occasions

Mens pocket squares have become quite popular again in recent years. They are the perfect fashion accessory for the well-dressed man - not just for formal occasions but also for business and leisure. To give men an endless amount of options pocket squares are made in a large range of colors, patterns, and even fabrics. Pocket squares are well suited for most ensembles. Goat is to create contrast to shirt and tie while still being set off against the suit jacket. The pattern and color should contrast the other clothing items but still harmonize. Below are the most common types of pocket squares and tips on how to wear them.

Formal Hankies in Solid White
The neatly folded, solid white pocket square is most common. Usually the pocket square is made from finest cotton or linen. If you are looking for something unique then you may want to look into pocket squares made from twill cotton or pique. Depending on the type of pocket square fold chosen it may be recommended to add starch to give more body and crisp look. The white pocket square looks best when worn with dark colored suits as well as for formal black tie functions.

Silk and Thai-Silk Pocket Squares
Silk is the most popular fabric for mens pocket squares and are available in any color and pattern imaginable. So many choices can make it quite confusing to find the right matching square and it is not surprising that many men shy away from it. When shopping for pocket squares we suggest to keep the colors and patterns simple. Best are solids in white, light rose-pink, light blue, burgundy, navy, and amber. Great also are pocket squares made with a textured fabric weave such as fine ribbs or very subtle single-colored checks. When shopping for pocket square make sure to look for ones that have "hand-rolled edges" - a sign for high quality and attention to detail.

A great way to match pocket squares is to mix different fabric weights. A thick and heavy silken tie would be well matched with a fine pique cotton pocket square for example. The same holds true for the jacket. Choosing a fine silk pocket square for a rough jacket (such as one made from tweed) is an excellent choice.

A Note on Colors & Patterns
Don't shy away from using color for your pocket square. There are many more options than the solid white hanky! When wearing a colored pocket square you want to match it to the color family of either the tie or the shirt. The color doesn't, and also shouldn't be an exact match. They should harmonize but be noticeably different so that your choice looks like you did it with purpose and thought. Also, think about the occasion. A bright colored hanky may be out of place for a funeral or a wedding. Patterns should also be taken into consideration. Best are fine and subtle patterns that look solid colored from the distance but reveal their intricacy at a closer look. Such pocket square are great when matching them to solid dress shirts and suits. If you choose to wear patterns on shirt and suit, then choose a pattern that is different in size for the pocket square. Having too many different patterns that are similar in size may clash and be distracting.

Office Wear That Compliments Your Body Type

Men's fashion shows could lead you to think that guys only came in one variety: above average height and above average physical shape. But everyone knows that reality gives a very different picture. Chances are good that you don't fit into that description, so you're going to need a different kind of work outfit that best compliments your body type.

Big & Tall Men
Guys with both height and bulk – think of professional sportsmen and bodybuilders – will want to break up that visual impression of being built like a wall. Cuffed trousers are one of the things that will help put your body back into proportion. A minimal break on the pants would also be a good idea, as you already have too much inseam in the first place. Shallow pleats give your thighs some room and can visibly slim your legs' silhouette.

Lacking height, meanwhile, will mean that you have to balance out your girth with a few visual illusions. Leaving an uninterrupted visual line on your torso, for example, helps make your chest look longer and leaner. This is best done with a two- or one-button suit because of their deeper v-shape stance, or with a v-neck sweater for the same reason. Be sure you avoid wearing the two together, though.

Busy patterns are best avoided by both men; tall guys make busy patterns seem busier, while busy patterns make short guys even shorter. And while the shorter man could use a vertical striped suit for its slimming effect, the tall and bulky man should avoid print suits altogether. Horizontal stripes are a bad idea for both kinds of body types.

Small-Framed Men
For men with a smaller frame, the ideal style of clothing is one that gives some horizontal dimension while avoiding any more elongation on the vertical. As with the previous two cases, the goal here is to 'fix' the proportions of the body using particular clothing pieces and patterns.

A 3-button jacket works well for the tall, slim man because it will scale down the length of the torso by hiding more of it. Peak lapels and trousers with cuffs will give girth and reduce length effectively rescaling all of your proportions. Although rarely suited for business, horizontal lines on shirts and sweaters will also add weight to the body.

Two buttons on a suit, meanwhile, is the better choice for the short and slim man. Peak lapels expand the size of chest and shoulder. And since the body's proportions are already on the small side, anything that can shrink – black pieces, for example – should be avoided. Opt for lighter, happier colors instead.

Fashion can be difficult for the slim man because fit becomes even more important than usual. Clothes can't be too baggy because they'll make you seem like you're drowning in fabric. At the same time, they can't be too slim because they'll emphasize the thinness of your arms and legs. Unless you're fortunate enough to find sizes at men's retail stores, a tailor might be a wise investment for your money. For more information we also invite you to visit our guide on: Custom Tailored Suits

Remember that you'll be wearing several pieces in the outfit and not just the suit jacket or the shirt. At the end of the day, everything still has to be able to work together: the jacket suits the shirt, the shirt matches the neckties, and so on.

Fashion by Color: Coordinated Socks

Underwear is one of those things that often go unnoticed in men’s fashion, yet is taken seriously by the true style connoisseur. Odds are good that you don’t pay much attention to your socks when you get dressed in the morning. Your socks, however, are still part of your overall outfit, and making a mistake can spell disaster for your entire ensemble.

Socks and Style
How does something as seemingly insignificant as a pair of socks suddenly factor in your outfit? Imagine that you’ve got on a sharp designer three-piece suit – the height of style – complete with a tailored shirt and an immaculate silk tie. While you’re meeting a client, you lean back and rest one leg on the other knee – a natural position.

Ideally, your socks should be inconspicuous and generally complement everything else you’re wearing. A foolish choice in the morning – the wrong color or fabric, for example – would immediately catch the eye of the other person and throw your entire outfit out of whack. Men’s fashion is all about creating a strong, cohesive look with all of your pieces. A single piece that’s out of sync will be visible right away and waste all your effort.

There are two ways your socks could work in any given outfit. First, they could work like in the situation above where they blend into your outfit and help form a cohesive whole. That would be the ideal case for formal events where it’s more about traditional dress and less about individualistic fashion statements.

And then there’s the more tongue-in-cheek way of showing your socks: letting them pop against your outfit. There’s a lot of shock value to having some eye-catching pattern or color down there, but it takes a particular technique to pull it off well. Do it wrong and you’ll likely end up looking like some kidult whose mom bought him the wrong socks.

Sock It Up
Before you begin exploring the more advanced style tricks with socks, you have to be familiar with some of the more basic rules on what goes on your feet. They’re things that your dad probably already taught you, but these pearls of wisdom always bear repeating.

First of all, keep your socks darker than your pants but lighter than your shoes. If you’re in doubt when wearing multiple colors – a gray suit with brown lace-ups, for example – use the color of your shoes as the baseline and then work from there. Socks are meant to provide a smoother visual transition from the color of your pants to that of your shoes. For every color of shoe you own, see to it that you have the appropriate color of socks.

Secondly, there’s an appropriate thickness that depends on how formal the outfit is. This can vary based on personal preference and how the outfit itself works, but one good rule of thumb is to keep the thickness of your socks inversely proportional to the formalness of the outfit. A casual set can work with thicker socks (which are meant for sneakers), while formal outfits require thinner dress socks for your leather shoes.

You can, however, feel free to break Rule #1 if and only if you plan to notch up the style stakes on your socks. Subbing in a pair of brightly colored socks – think candy cane red – instead of brown or black can work on any outfit that’s no more formal than your office ensemble. The jolt of color right above your shoes keeps your look young and cheeky, but so in-your-face that you appear crass and unprofessional. It’s not cheeky, it’s subtle.

Neckties, suits, shirts and shoes all get some sort of attention from every guy out there. If you’re serious about looking sharp and fashionable, though, it’s high time that you gave some thought to your socks as well. The truly style-conscious man knows that every item on his person from the hat to the shoes will contribute to the success of the outfit.

Matching Tips for the Tan "Summer Suit"

Light colored suits, particularly light shades of brown, are perfect for the sunny days in spring and summer. One of the best looking suits for the sunny day is light tan/beige in color. It is a color that not only compliments other "summer" colors on shirts and neckties, but is also a fabric that is much more comfortable on a hot summer day. Most of these "summer suits" are made from thinner wool, cotton, and even linen (known as the "Panama Suit"). If the pattern-less fabric is too plain for you, then you may want to consider subtle fabric weaves such as finely woven bird's eye pattern, delicate pin-stripes, or Glen-check.

The picture on the left is a perfect example on how to wear the tan colored suit. Light blue dress shirts will always make a perfect match to any "summer suit". The Burgundy and Navy striped tie adds a more conservative and elegant touch. The light blue pocket square and the yellow-orange boutonniere add sophistication and playful character to the overall look. The best shoe and belt colors are brown, and preferred is gold on jewelry such as wrist watch, cufflinks, and belt buckle.

The Classic Gray Flannel Pants In mens fashion pants do not make the center point of an outfit. Instead they are supposed to be subtle in pattern and color in order to compliment the rest of the outfit. Pants are supposed to be much more neutral and it is their job to draw the observer's attention upwards to the jacket or necktie, or downwards to the shoes. Pants that show too much pattern can be quite distracting, especially since the fabric will move a lot when walking. Therefore, most dress pants are solid in color, with gray being the most neutral of them all.

Gray flannel pants are one clothing item any well dressed man should own. They are neural in color and will compliment any shirt pattern or necktie color. Flannel is a soft fabric that is made from Merino wool. It is a very insulating fabric that adds nice warmth for the fall and winter season. Even though similar in look to worsted it is much softer, does not hold a crease, and is slightly less formal than the latter. Flannels look gray with or without a jacket. In fact they are quite versatile and fit a wide range of formalities. On the lower spectrum of formality, flannels look great with button up dress shirt or turtleneck sweater. Want to dress more formal? Then pair the flannel pants with a navy blue Blazer jacket and a matching tie.

The Savvy Man's Style Guide to Shirt Care

Caring for clothes isn’t always easy – especially not for men. Today’s men's fashion designers use a wide range of textiles, weaves, and fabric treatments to create their garments. It is not surprising that all this creates quite a maintenance maze. Many prefer that their shirts be handled by professional dry cleaners that often times charge $2 or even $3 per shirt. For the daily suit and tie wearer shirt cleaning alone can be over a $1,000 per year. Besides savings, washing and ironing your shirts at home is often times much easier on the fabrics.

What's the Difference?
Taking your shirts to a store can only result in one of two things. The priciest option is to actually have your shirt dry cleaned each and every time, at around $6 a pop. The other alternative is to have them machine wash your shirts at about $2 each. It's change for the high-money fashion industry, but big bucks for you when you add it all up.

Neither are completely ideal situations. The chemicals used in dry cleaning can be rough on the fabrics, and can speed up the wear and tear process. Machine washing is equally problematic, if not even more so. Aside from using industrial strength detergents that take a toll on the cotton, the machine pressing step tends to wear your shirt buttons out even faster. Asking for hand pressing brings the cost back to dry cleaning levels.

Cotton shirts – even the most expensive custom jobs – are ideally washed and pressed by hand. This avoids the rough tumble process of machine washing, where they can get beat up by the agitator's action. At the same time, doing all this yourself gives you more control over the stuff that comes into contact with your shirts. And then, of course, there's the money that you get to save, too.

DIY Shirt Washing
Washing any style and fabric of shirt all boils down to just two things: the temperature of the water and the chemicals you use. Using just the right combination of both is the key to making each and every shirt of yours last as long as it should.

Start things off with some detergent – preferably a hypoallergenic one, as these are the gentlest on both your skin and the fabric – in room temperature to lukewarm water. Don't load your shirts in the machine or basin until the soap's mixed well; direct contact can fade colors. If you're using a machine, set it at the lowest speed (usually called a hand wash setting) and use your usual wash cycle. For rinsing, use cold water instead.

Bleach is only a good idea for white shirts so that you help prevent those nasty yellow spots around the collar and at the armpits. Your sweat is the biggest contributor to these spots, so learn the fashion of an undershirt if you want to minimize them. Color-safe bleaches are also available in most supermarkets, but use these sparingly.

A Short Note on Starch
Using starch on your shirts will add a crisp look and slightly stiffer feel. This is especially desirable on collar and cuffs. Use starch sparingly as starch can dry up natural fibers which will eventually start to fray and break.

Shirt Care 101
Garment care isn't something that you learn from fashion magazines, but it's something you should pick up anyway. Start by reading those care labels sewn into your shirt, by the label or along one of the lengthwise seams. Those labels are there to be followed, period.

Some shirts actually do require dry cleaning for every time you use them. Many fabric blends fall into category. If the care label says “dry clean only,” then follow it! The labels also specify the ironing temperatures and chemicals you can use with the shirt.
Button your shirt up as much as possible, even when you're not wearing it, to help it keep its shape. This is crucial if you're going to subject it to the pressure in a washing machine.

For style pieces that are as basic as shirts, each one is more than just a purchase – it's an investment. As with any investment, you'll most likely want to get the highest return, times worn in this case, possible.
