Fall/Winter Preview


I'm all about details, so this just makes me very happy.
Slim fit corduroy pants, no break, with a cuff. Great!
Neutral color palate houndstooth overcoat. Double great!
Pulled together at the bottom with brown suede chukkas.
A perfect fall to winter transition look. We're not there just yet, but start taking notes.

Fall Options




As the leaves start to change and the weather gets cool, so does your fall wardrobe.
In come the heavier materials, darker colors, scarves, overcoats, boots etc.

If you're like me, then you are very much looking forward to this.
This suit is a great look for the cooler days to come. The grey wool and white combo will always be a classic, but as I have stated before, the boot addition is an excellent alternative to the normal oxford look. The contrast cream button give a subtle detail to the suit that is a must during Fall times when others will be rocking the grey suits as well.
Topped off with a darker shade of grey (please no 50 Shades of Grey jokes) scarf pulls the whole look together.
Tie it as you see or drape it underneath your suit jacket for a Michael Fassbender out of Shame look.

Don't Doubt.

People doubt the versatility of a suit most of the time. They think there is only one way to wear it. These shoes go with this color, that tie will only go with that shirt etc.
It's that kind of thinking that will get you nowhere in the world of style. Of course there a certain exceptions, but style is subjective.

Lately there has been an emergence of a particular look that I am a fan of.
A classic suit put with a pair of rugged work boots.
Now, before you go running to your local Mejier for some $20 Timberland knock offs, hear me out.
We're talking good looking boots. Brass eyelets, a beautiful leather that has been distressed over time. You know. Imagine what kind of boot Steve McQueen would wear as he pulls up to a burning building that has a lone baby trapped inside of it. Minutes pass and you see him jump from the top floor window, baby in tote and a lit cigarette. The cigarette was lit by the flames as he slowly passed through.
Those are the kind of boots I'm talking about.

The possibilities are endless with this look. You can easily dress it down with a t-shirt, or go all out. The choice is up to you. But understand you shouldn't rock your opening Olympics tuxedo with some Red Wings. Know your suit. Know your setting. The Queen would probably prefer you wear your oxfords.
