With the Holidays Just Around the Corner, it's Good Idea to Start Thinking About the Men in Your Life. From Parties to Presents, Dapper Duds are Essential.
My Mr (I've called him 'Mr' since the day we married xoxo) has Equally as Much Style and Love of Fashion as I do ... Ok Maybe not 'Equally' but He is Very Enthusiastic About Dressing Handsomely.
We Both Enjoy Getting Gussied Up in Our Nice Duds, Putting Our Best Foot Forward for Each Other and in Whatever Environment We are In.
Mr's Style is Traditional, but with Pops of Color and Unexpected Details ... Dapper!
Just as Gals Incorporate Color - Pattern - Texture & Shine so Can Gents.
He Adds Interest in his Pocket Squares, Socks, Cufflinks and as a True Southern Gentleman, Always a Bow Tie for Neckwear. (Mr Attests: Great for the Medical Field as they Don't Hang Down During Patient Exams)
When it Comes to Leather, Regular Polishes and Avoiding Rainy Weather are Key to Preserving. Storage is also Very Important!
For Shoes - Cedar Shoetrees to Absorb Moisture and Felt Bags to Prevent Dust Settling in the Seams and Perforated Design.
For Belts - Rolled and in Felt bags Laying Flat in a Drawer (Do Not Hang Your Belts, it Warps their Shape).
Ways to Add Interesting Details:
- Neckwear - Necktie or Bow Tie - Always Silk - Opt for Knots, Size, Prints, Colors that Showcase Your Personal Style
- Socks - Bold Colors & Prints (Wool are Best for Wicking Moisture)
- Pocket Square - Silk Hand Sewn Rolled Hem in Fun Prints & Colors that Compliment Rather than 'Match'
- Monogramming Shirt Cuffs - Choose a Font or Personal Signature that Suits
- Color/Printed Lining for Jackets
- Personalized Patches & Pockets on the Jacket Interior
- Functional Cuff Buttons
- Contrasting Stitching on Outer Cuff Button Holes and/or Label
Man Accessories:
- Cufflinks (You can Find Almost Anything in a Cufflink to Capture Personality and Interests)
- Watches
- Belt Buckles
Fabrics Choices are Gender Neutral - Natural! Wools, Silks, Cottons
Synthetics don't Breathe. Sometimes a Hint of Synthetic is ok when Blended with Naturals if Stretch is Needed.
Non-Iron is an Amazing Feature in Shirts for Men and Women and Super Convenient for Travel. Brooks Brothers Bakes their Non-Iron Component into the Fabric so that as You Care for Your Shirts it's as Simple as Wash and Dry at Home. No Starch Needed!
Just as Us Ladies Strive to Dress Our Bodies in Efforts to Flatter, Men can Do the Same with Slim Cut Blazers, Tailored Shirts, and Flat Front Trousers. Tailoring isn't a Luxury for Either of Us, it's a Necessity! When Your Garments Fit, You are Not Only More Comfortable but You Look Better; More Confident and Polished.
So Here is One of my Favorite Dressy Looks for Mr
Confession: I Have Never Picked out His Outfits! Confirming We Really are a Perfectly Fashionable Match!
Every Girl's Crazy About a Sharp Dressed Man!
Tip: Pair this Blazer with a Pair of Jeans, Open Collar Shirt and Driving Moccasins for a Casual Look.
Socks: Nordstrom ||
Dress Your Man Handsomely!
XOXO Sarah Louise
