Costumes: the small details to stay in the game

 
First observation: after years of domination of the three buttons, bespoke suit two or one button is needed in the collections. Side trousers, darts at the waist that have disappeared, but the hem with side is back. For colors, if the gray, black and navy blue are basic, it will be this winter allowed to have a little fun with plaids discrete or Prince of Wales stretched to the extreme.
Material side, finally, the return of wool quality. "We often forget that the best costume is first one that does not wrinkle," says Michael Ohnona. Therefore, always insist of 100% wool and monitor the fineness of the yarn. On the label, the indication is the most classic Super 100. It means that 1 pound of wool, was shot 100 kilometers of wire. The higher this number is high (Super 150, 180, 200 or 250), the tissue becomes more fluid and elegant. But it appears fragile! Take into consideration if you plan to live in your two pieces more than one season.
Trends
The colors are brighterFinished, black and anthracite. After years of dominance of dark colors, it is now possible to dress in light gray or beige hues that hang much better light.
Jackets shorterThe British look is in vogue: slim fit, narrow shoulders, back of neck refined ... And the length of the jacket down: it must now stop in the middle of your hand when you put your arms along the body.
Stripes are back
The united losing ground and it's time to wear thin gray or colored stripes, fabrics micropatterned or tiles discreet. Dare including Scottish almost imperceptible, in brown or gray tones.
The two-button cheap custom suit is requiredModels with three or four buttons are gradually replaced by two buttons. The single button is even one of the key next summer. Also in vogue: the cross button. The materials are more noblesExit synthetic. This winter, it is warm and soft to touch wool, such as flannel and cashmere, as required. But the price is affected: Count 2000 euros for a quality model.
The pants are tighteningFinished, loose plugs that float when walking. Without claws, pants "grave" now closer to the foot and it is mostly shorter than before: a single ply breaking on the shoe.

The shirt should get a finger beyond the jacket sleeve to let it show any cufflinks, and even for simple aesthetic reasons ( edged the white shirt emerging from the handle providing a significant balance) ... The pants should "break" once, and not form a misshapen heap at the foot ...2. White socks.


Red password yet, why not purple ... but WHITE? Why take such risks when a black sock is not more expensive? One can even get socks by subscription
to be sure to always have ...3. Large Mephisto shoes
And why not Crocs for that matter? It may be comfortable, but it's still horrible, it's massive and plastic appearance does not really exudes elegance. We do not even talk about the label sticking out. Class. Generally prefer thin soles of your shoes.4. Tie Mickey / Y2K
Tie bright, smiley tie, tie Homer Simpson ... are only so call to murder. It is not "cool", "young", "relaxed" or "friday wear." It's just "ugly". If you can not pay you the Hermes models, so go to Zara, they are correct and silk for thirty euros. You will also find very good in Brandalley. The tip of that tie will have to stop at the top of the belt, not the fly.5. The fluorescent green belt H & M

The belt matches with shoes, socks with pants. And not the reverse. It is simple: buy a black belt, and a brown belt!

Costumes and men ….

Costume Guide for Men

Super 100's, Super 120's ... Straight cut, slim fit ... Two or three buttons ...There are many questions when it comes time to choose his custom suits , especially when it is the first.
However, it is worth taking the time comes when that deadline because the risks are many look very badly dressed with an ill-fitting suit or of poor quality.
Here's our guide to help you choose your first male costume with confidence.

 
1. The cut of the suitThe cut is the most important element when choosing a suit, because it is what will determine your overall look.
Regarding the style of the cut, the law cheap custom suit 2 pieces with 2 buttons is a classic that fits perfectly in the first time. On this basis, you can then play on the shape of the pockets (coin pocket, slanted pockets), the form of setbacks (acute or right), the number of slots ... to bring diversity.
If your body allows you, you can then make the choice of a suit two curved pieces, always two buttons.Whether it is for the jacket or pants, current trends in men's suits are bent or cut close to the body.
Obviously, this is a rule of thumb, but it is worth repeating: the dress must be selected in your size.
2. The fabric of the suitAnother important criterion, the quality of the fabric! Check inside the suit on the label, the quality is indicated by "super" (super 90, super 100, super 120 ...). The higher the number, the higher the quality of your fabric will be thin and light.Below 120, it is the most common dress, the price is affordable and the quality is the most common. Above 120, this is a man whose suit fabric is rarer, more valuable therefore more expensive, and will require much more attention to the level of maintenance.
"Please do not believe that Super 140's or 160's is better than Super 120's. It is simply softer, because made from the finest wool. But its durability will be lower over time. "Stephan Ricard, co-founder of Samson
3. The color of a dressThe color is chosen according to the season, light colors (beige, gray, off-white ...) are preferably to wear custom made suits during the spring or summer. Dark colors (black, navy blue, dark gray ...) are more common and more practical in winter.

Shopping ideas: Suits for men

The modern way to wear suits with patterns

There is a while ago I took a clap on custom suits with patterns. And is not that I am against the use of them, because I'm not, but they can not very easily give the right tone of the occasion. In addition to this time the look is not the most popular and can leave a trail of mothballs in the air ...
Now, even if you want to bet asim, it's good that you know a little thing or two about how to wear them without looking like a character from the past in old-line odd looking.
First it is a slim model to give the tone of the moment, especially if you're young. Or maybe only if this is the case ... but anyway ...
Second you choose to use with each patterned so that gives a contemporary tone to them to avoid stamp dated. How?

Well, according to Details magazine, if you opt for a pattern like houndstooth (pictured above), that the suit is patterned in miniature. And enjoy to use a hankie in the same print suit only bigger and more diva. And a fastener ties would also be welcome.

But if the requested is a real checkered Glen Plaid (pictured above), forget manjada version "alegrinha" and invest it in mellow colors and contained as slate (bluish gray), plain shirts and ties classic "repp" striped. Of course, half smooth and tone pants.

When the subject is that pin-striped chalk more "obvious" out there is called Chalk Stripe (the other thinner and the dotted line is Pinstripe), do not even think to use it in order to refer to some gangster once. Jacket (double-breasted), for example, there is an option. Much less saddle shoes. But one hankie understated, pale shirt and tie aside with another pattern is all you need.

Now if your elected for the Prince of Wales, invest in a bespoke suit that has at chess more vivid and present as green and orange. And that is it.

If the matter is Tweed herringbone, bet on accessories (read hankie and tie) with vivid colors that give life to the ensemble and will break a little rustic look that comes with it.

The Quickie: The length of the sleeves of the blazer

If you do not make the slightest idea of ​​how to choose the ties to his suits and shirts …

The Menswear at Golden Globes

 

The Menswear at Golden Globes

Despite being a bag watch, I confess: I see all the Hollywood award ceremonies (as well led Babel?) And of course, do not miss a red carpet. Besides being super fun to see the fashion dos and don'ts of celebrities, these occasions are a great opportunity to do a basic update on fashion repertoire. Because usually what the stars wear, is or will be the fashion of the season. Best preview there.

Even in the case of men's fashion, which is much more restricted and reduced in the item options than women. Still, it gives very good for fishing either trend, such as colors, modeling suits, formal look d'jour ... and stuff.
No, no raptures stylish on the red carpet. What we saw was a turn as well given the classic is all about. It's the classic tux (tuxedo) came back strong and retubante and was the favorite choice of both hips as the fans of more classic styles to such an event. Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Whalberg and Josh Hallaway, although youngsters, dismissed the bespoke suit and tie, along with Warren Beatty, Hugh Laurie House, McDreamy Dempsey, Kiefer Sutterland (aka Jack Bauer) showed that there is nothing more elegant than hot and dashing a beautiful and classic tuxedos tailor-made. Already Clint Eastwood and P Diddy use their preferred versions of classic prórpias. The effect was not there so sweeping in the choice of Mr. Eastwood, top it off with that belt ... now P Diddy and his mismatch brocade tux ... pleased. And in full. Incidentally, Tai a great idea for a change in the most classic class.
Clint Eastwood and his version of the classic tux ggleo.jpg Warren Beatty going classic P Diddy Mismatching Josh Holloway hughgrant.jpg McDreamy Dempsey hot classic Terrance Howard and his all white look inside Mark Walberg looking hot in a tux
Others opted for the good old, but a little beaten suit. Some, like Seal and Michael Bolton and his pop star looks, bet on the outfit without a tie and chest to show that despite being the most casual of outfits for an occasion such, it remains an option for those who like to break the formality of certain events. Since of course, these events allow at such boldness, and you know the look in good parade, otherwise .... looks bad ... And please, no cords or necklaces on the neck, or if it is diamond! Glad you did not see any.
Others preferred to wear a suit and tie only varying in color choice of tie, shirt or two. Although the combo white shirt and black tie was the most popular choice of the night. Some opted for thinner ties, others preferred the standard size here so that we always get more elegant.
Though I think that a man in a tuxedo is much more elegant and beautiful, but the custom suit is a good choice to vary the time or another formal looks. Especially for younger people or those who want to rejuvenate your look. And yes they can maintain the pose and the status of the occasion. And Justin Timberlake, "Borat" and Brad Pitt are proof of that.

When using jacket or blazer, which buttoning buttons? And when using them buttoned?

Bradley Cooper in Rio

Bradley Cooper in Rio

 
 
 

And so it was with a off-white bespoke suit, light blue shirt, dark blue tie and brogues bicolor (a major trend ON) the star of the film "If Hangover 3" was the debut of the same land in Rio.

And even at night and in the autumn he opted for a pale suit for the occasion. Because you know, Rio has summer weather all year ... hehehe pranks aside, super rolls wear a suit even for a pale autumnal night in the tropics. Especially considering that premieres here are much less formal than the outside. And with a fit of these is even better dressed than many black men out there  

When using jacket or blazer, which buttoning buttons? And when using them buttoned?

When using jacket or blazer, which buttoning buttons? And when using them buttoned?

When it comes abotoamente simple (one single row of buttons), no matter how many there are (provided you have more than one, of course), the last button counting from the top down is never buttoned. Never the same.
3 button plaid suit BB 3 Button Pinstriped Suit
If a custom suits or blazer 3 button gives to use the rule of thumb "sometimes, always and never", always starting again after the top button. Ie, the top button of a suit or blazer 3 buttons can be buttoned or not depending on your height (if quietly suggest not button) and type of lapel part (she, lapel become slightly bent over the home button, then it will be spun as a button). Already the middle will always buttoned underneath and never be buttoned.
Two button cotton suit One button only? Buttons, now!
In the case of two buttons, the top one is always buttoned and underneath is never. A blazer or jacket with a single button (pictured below) should always be buttoned, buttoning it up is not too casual.
Jackets or blazers with more than 3 buttons, such as 4 or 5 buttons have a status aside more fashion than for a classic male wardrobe, depending on fads to use. Incidentally, a button also follows this line, see? Never buy and use one of these as your suit or blazer daily, if not suit the season, because if not, will be considered dated.
Jacket of a button


Four Button DG
Newsflash: 4 buttons (pictured above) walked timidly appearing in some parades next winter season in the northern hemisphere. Maybe go back to being "in", who knows? So just so you know, in the last 4 buttons never buttons, the top can be buttoned or not. But better let him fechadinho.
Blazer jacket Navy
When it comes to jacket (one with double-breasted where there is a double row of buttons ... is the one shown above), there is controversy ... for example, some of the inside should always be buttoned and the row beneath, ever, that when there is of course the possibility of closing more than one button. If there is only one button itself. If there is a row in the middle, can button or not. For others, it is in your jacket has two buttons that can be closed, or you can button up top, or both making the conservative line, or follow the line of the Duke of Kent and close only the low is unclear whether the model chosen allows. Get the idea?
Still on the DB or bespoke suit : This type of jacket / blazer is imposing too much and is not the best choice to make there. As a possible option, may even, but as your blazer or jacket every day I do not recommend. Very "quatrocentão". And not very democratic, silhouette-wise.
Blazer used casually, is open! Two button blazer and buttoned buttoned Linen Cotton Blazer
But back to our subject that is buttoned ... in transit, your jacket or blazer dress form is NOT casual or formal, or with tie should always be proper with the buttons buttoned. Is only allowed to sit or stroll unbuttoning no compromise there. And when you lift, every button should be buttoned. Already one jacket with buttons is always chosen to be buttoned, buttoned whether sitting, lying, standing or whatever ...
Already a blazer or even a jacket worn on occasions that do not ask certain formality or the use of ties (or suddenly up to them, but used inside of a wool sweater without buttons and casual with one foot in), can be used transit undone too. But these conditions alone where you can "strip", casualizar the look, ok? If you ask for anything more composite button!

Design The Lspel To Suit You

Design The Lspel To Suit You

If you aren’t sure quite what type of lapel to go for, as us to sketch you some different options.
There are hundreds of slightly different variations that we can use to craft the perfect lapel, so tell us more about who you are and we will design the lapel to suit you.
Some customers believe that the number of buttons on  custom made suits should be at least partially determined by one’s body type.
Using only two buttons will make the break point for the suit lower, creating a more horizontal effect.  With three buttons, the lapels are shorter:  they “top off” the suit

An Unstructured Style with 4 Buttons and Wide Notch Lapels

But tying this to body type often makes for confusion.  Should the tall skinny customer want a suit that is more vertical (accentuating his height) or more horizontal (balancing out his height)?  What about a portly customer?  Will a two button suit make him seem shorter and wider?

Pronounced Peak Lapels

In general, I don’t believe that body type alone should determine the number of buttons and the lapel shape of a jacket.  Much of the subtle work of tailoring is figuring out how to make each and every style look great no matter who is wearing it.
It must be confessed that a long three button jacket is particularly dramatic on a tall slim figure and that wide two-button lapels on a stocky gentleman give an air of natural authority.

Wide Lapels with Gentle Peaks

A larger chest and waist size call for bolder details, while the same lapels on someone slender could only make the neck, chest, and head seem weak and shrunken.
So certainly some attention must be paid to body type when working out a style, but this is more a matter of subtle work than of hard and fast rules.
The choice between peak and notch lapels is another significant choice.  With a peak lapel, the lower portion of the collar angles upward and reaches toward the upper collar.
Certainly, the peak lapel makes for a more dramatic effect.  Used correctly, the peak lapel can add distinction and formality to a suit.  It can also, on a youthful suit, have give an almost punk or rocker touch, especially when the look is exaggerated.

Shopping The Way A Man Wants

Shopping The Way A Man Wants

It’s a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and you’ve fancied yourself a stroll in SoHo for some summer shopping. As you turn the corner onto Broome Street, your curiosity is peaked when you notice the lemonade stand, along with two rakish gents smoking cigars on the sidewalk.  You are then personally invited, and escorted into, the Dapper Man Shop. Upon entry, a barista offers you a refreshing beverage before you take a seat on a vintage leather sofa to take in the atmosphere. As you do so, you are kindly greeted by an exceptionally well-dressed man, who invites you to explore the worlds of the participating companies. Shopping the way a man wants – while sitting on a leather couch drinking a single-malt.
While the Shop was run as a retail/experience shop by day, the space was turned into an event space by night for some awesome industry parties.  Like Pengallan’s Launch Party (it’s hard to be the best-looking guy in the room when Tyson Beckford stops by). Or Saturday evening’s Dapper Man Shop Main Event, hosted by Stoli.
A Thursday evening meet-and-greet was hosted by Damien Basile, a local blogger and designer of custom bow ties and pocket squares (check out his exclusive collection for FreshNeck). The event was sponsored by Ploonky.com and 320NY.com, and the attendees were treated to complimentary whiskey and a unique elector-swing set put on by Electric Gentleman.  The evening concluded with a bow tie-tying contest, with winners taking home bow ties from Everett.
Now that the week is over, and we have some time to reflect, we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We also wanted to send a special thank you to the founders of the other companies. You helped make the Dapper Man Shop a resounding success.

The Right Jewelry Can Upgrade Your Look

For a man wearing a suit the right jewelry can upgrade your look from smart to brilliant. At the same time, ostentatious 'bling-bling' is distracting and unattractive; men's jewelry should always be subtle. The watch passes the test by virtue of its functionality; cufflinks and tie clips earn provisional legitimacy on the same grounds. The wedding band is respected for what it represents, and other rings may be subtle enough to work to a man's advantage in the right setting. Piercings have featured prominently in so many counter-culture movements, from pirates to camp to punk rock, that they immediately arouse negative reactions from many. If you are going to wear an eyebrow stud with a suit, the suit had better fit you like your own skin if you don't want to be remembered as 'the guy with the eyebrow ring.' A general rule of dressing says to match metal to metal. That means that if your belt buckle is silver, for instance, so should be your cuff links, tie clip, and anything else shiny you wear. As with all things, this is a general guideline, not a hard and fast rule: a man with a gold wedding ring can wear silver cuff links if he likes, and one who wears an heirloom silver watch is free to wear brass buckles. Another rule says not to wear gold after dark (nor button-down collars, nor brown shoes, for that matter). This is good to keep in mind when dressing for the night-life, and again, it is a good suggestion rather than a cardinal law.

The alternative to waistcoats, cummerbunds were originally considered a more casual style and limited to summer and outdoor wear. Today, a black cummerbund is considered a perfectly acceptable alternative to a waistcoat, and is probably the more common option at most stores and rental outlets.

The pleats on the cummerbund face upward -- think of them as tiny pockets, since that was their original function. Men used to tuck theater or train tickets into the folds, and occasionally still do. Some cummerbunds will have actual pockets hidden on the backside, but the pleats should of course still face upward.

When you walk into a menswear store, you see suits everywhere. But most of this is superfluous, as that what you want is only a small fraction of what is available. Use the Men’s Warehouse as an example: I walk in and ask for a light gray pin striped single breasted suit in size 44. Although I have only specified three factors, I have nonetheless reduced the Men's Wearhouse inventory of 2000 suits to maybe 2 or 3 garments that fit that description. Now imagine if I asked for something a little more fashion forward, say slanted pockets and peak lapels. It's unlikely the Men's Wearhouse, Brooks Brothers, or Jos. A Bank would have a men's custom made suits like this in their entire nationwide inventory. With custom clothing selection is never a problem; your choices are unlimited. What you ask for is made to your specifications; no compromises. The garment you have made is a one-of-kind masterpiece of fabric and thread. 

Can A Man Be Too Young To Look Good In A Jacket

Many men who work in offices today wear don't wear bespoke suit regularly. If this is you, there will undoubtedly be times when you want to do a little better, whether for a meeting or presentation or a lunchtime or happy hour date. Whether your version of business casual is khakis and a polo shirt or dress slacks, button-down shirt, necktie and sweater, throwing a jacket on will give you a significantly sharper look. As has been said elsewhere, the classic blue blazer goes with anything, and a sport coat in some gray or brown pattern is nearly as versatile. Many men keep such a jacket in the office to act as a dress up/dress down switch.

And then there is leisure. Today's lack of established standards of dress for different social occasions leaves many fretting about what to wear to a dinner party, concert, or afternoon reception. The worry is compounded if you don't know your host well, and even more so if you're hoping to make a good impression with someone there. Once again, the sport coat comes to the rescue. It originated as a leisure garment, remember, and today does the job as well as ever. If someone has invited you to their home, church, club, or anywhere really, it is a sign of respect to take care in your appearance upon arriving. Even if nobody else is wearing a jacket when you get there, people will appreciate that you made the effort. If you feel too out of place, you can always take it off, but the truly stylish man knows that he can achieve casualness with his words and manners while maintaining dignity in his dress.

Nor can a man be too young to look good in a custom made suits. At a night club or a party, a sport coat in charcoal or off-white with slacks or designer jeans is a tough look to beat. For the young man who is not yet concerned with dressing up for work, one or two decent sport coats will make it easy to look sharp for any occasion. They will be a better investment than anything the trend-hawkers have to offer, since proper tailoring and classic patterns will never go out of style.
