YOU. WHAT? WEAR.

1. SPORTCOATS & BLAZERS.

• {what} not a suit. get a dark on and a light one to cover the seasons. and make sure it fits like a glove… er, blazer. your go-to dressy casual piece: dressy enough to care, casual enough to not be stuffy & uncomfortable.
• {wear to where} an art show. out to lunch with her parents.
• {wear it with} slacks. casual collared shirt.  // well-fitted jeans. nice v-neck tee.
• {work it} since you have basic dark & light colors, pop it with a bold colored/interestingly patterned shirt underneath.

2. STRUCTURED KNITS.

• {what} not your grandpa’s sweater. comfort that says you know how to dress.
• {wear to where} coffee. the movies. a walk in the park.
• {wear it with} dark jeans. a tee underneath. TOMS. yummy cologne. wasn’t that easy?
• {work it} you’re now pulled together, snuggly & smell good. work it.

3. RAIN SLEET & SNOW.

• {what} not a big ugly slicker. to be worn in inclement weather.
• {wear to where} anywhere you don’t want to show up as a drenched poodle.
• {wear it with} over – whatever you were already wearing for the occasion.
• {work it} you don’t have to run through the elements. you’re covered. be a gentleman & help someone who might have to run.

4. THE DRESSY GENTLEMAN.

• {what} not your dad’s overcoat. usually dark, wool, warm, structured & often double-breasted. something about a man in a jacket like this is so unbelievably hot.
• {wear to where} anywhere she ‘needs to buy a new dress’ for.
• {wear it with} your fancy pants. // a suit. great smelling cologne.
• {work it} a skinny tie goes a long way with a look like this. get yourself one.

5. STRUCTURED CASUAL.

• {what} not a suit. get a dark one and a light one to cover the seasons. and make sure it fits like a glove… er, blazer. your go-to dressy casual piece: dressy enough to care, casual enough to not be stuffy & uncomfortable.
• {wear to where} date night.
• {wear it with} well-fitted jeans. nice v-neck tee or collared shirt.
• {work it} this says, I’m pulled together and have style. I can handle my business. so make sure your posture & attitude say that too.

6. THE GREAT OUTDOORSMAN.

• {what} not camo.
• {wear to where} a nice hike in the hills. watching the sunset.
• {wear it with} a comfy henley. jeans with leg room and a bit of stretch.
• {work it} you’re in the hills at sunset. we already set the mood. work it.
