Raising The Bar

If you're like me then you don't dress with much color. I prefer the simplicity as well and the elegant complexity of blacks and white. Every so often however, I find myself looking for some contrast.
Thetiebar.com offers that contrast.
They offer almost any color you can ask for and it will give you that extra pop you're looking for.

Good Look #4

Usually I'm not the biggest fan of this much color, but something about it really stood out to me.

Seeing Red

Is it just me or has there been a steady increase in red accents in the world of fashion? Above any color it has been red. Red bottomed shoes, red socks, red pocket squares...
It even goes as far as the pants, the sweaters. Oh my!
I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm saying there he's been a definite surge of one particular color. And I like it!
I myself own red socks, a red pocket square, red cuff links and multiple red ties. It's a damn good color. It's a masculine color and it's one that doesn't scream "LOOK AT ME! I'M HIP AND FASHIONABLE!! WOOOOOO". To the best of it's ability it is discrete with being ruled out.
If you don't own a few pieces of red, then I would start looking around.

...

You know what.

I'm not even going to break it down.

Just do this.

Color(care)ful

As I was flipping through the channels earlier today I came across a commercial that stated: "Add color. It will zest up your wardrobe and add some excitement to your life."
Now, to a certain extent I agree. A little color is nice. As for most of it, I say shut the hell up and get off the bandwagon.
These day you can find a grown man wearing brightly colored skinny jeans on any given sidewalk. I understand personal style and the right to modify and make things your own, of course. That's what this blog is about. But, what this blog is also about is influencing the right kinda of wardrobes and showing them to you while worn by "any given sidewalk" men.
You don't need neon colors to stand out. That's standing out in the wrong way.
Like that time you accidentally wore your sisters blouse to school.
Simplicity is what stands out the most in my opinion. Don't go for trends.
If you have a certain look you really enjoy, be it simply a white tee and jeans or a full suit, refine it. Make it your own. Look through this blog and blogs elsewhere to give you suggestions and ideas.
Don't wear what looked cool for the EDM kids 3 years ago.
You're a grown up now.

Hip To Be Square

"Hey, Paul!"

When you make the decision to wear your suit jacket without a tie, you decide to do the t shirt thing underneath, or whatever it is, think about your pocket square. A lack of both a tie and a pocket square will portray the wrong kind of underdressed. You want it to look purposeful, not accidental.

When choosing a pocket square stay away from exact colors. If you're wearing a blue shirt then don't wear a solid blue pocket square of the same color.

Try to go out for your comfort zone on this one. Bright, bold, statement colors and patterns. Paisley, floral, polka dot.

These things will not detract from your masculinity. Rather they will give a small push to your style without going overboard.

And don't worry about how it is folded either. That is unless you want to. Even the littlest of things like a pocket square can portray your character.
