Shirt: Uniqlo / Vest: Club Room / Belt: GAP / Pants: Express



This shirt is yet another item obtained during my last Uniqlo visit.

Great source for solid items that will accentuate one's wardrobe.








End of the day. Calmly filing out of the office.

Mixed in a vest for giggles today.

Here are similar outfits (1 /2) worn a few weeks ago (sans the vest).

Shirt: Calvin Klein / Tie: Jos A Bank / Vest: Club Room / Belt: GAP / Pants: Calvin Klein



Threw a vest into the mix today.

Personal preference, but I generally like to have the vest color contrast the outfit.

Shirt: Jos A Bank / Tie: Barneys New York / Vest: Club Room / Belt: GAP / Pants: Calvin Klein



Another vest cameo.

It actually served a functional purpose as well. The recession has companies placing padlocks on the thermostats.

Shirt: Perry Ellis / Vest: Club Room / Belt: GAP / Pants: Perry Ellis

Perfecting my spidey stance


White striped shirt, khaki pants and I decided to throw a blue vest into the mix.

Ended up turning into decent-looking ensemble, in my opinion.

If there is anything you pick up from reading this blog, let it be the following: Don't be afraid to try different looks. It helps you both develop & propagate your own distinct sense of style.

Shirt: Banana Republic / Tie: Old Navy / Vest: Club Room / Belt: GAP / Pants: H&M pants



Wore another vest combo to the office today. Remember this tie/shirt combo? The shirt really lends itself well to different combination opportunities.

A wise man once said: Buying pants/slacks at H&M if one is gravitationally-challenged side probably isn't the best idea.

Not really surprising, as they are a Swedish, i.e. European clothing company, but I thought I might as well throw this little nugget of knowledge out there.

Shirt: Ralph Lauren / Tie: Ermenegildo Zegna / Vest: Club Room / Belt: GAP / Pants: Perry Ellis



Vests are a great way to mix things up. There's really no set rules I go by, other than making sure that I don't try and match the vest with another main article of clothing.

Light brown pants + dark brown vest = no-go (for me). It all comes down to personal preference, of course.





Bonus: Depicted below is the move that made me famous ... Some even dare to say that this cross-over move put me amongst the greats in corporate folklore...



Here's how it went down: The year is 2004 and I'm interning at the firm. It's also Friday, I'm starved, and need to get to the last free bagel in office kitchen. I spot the bagel from afar but I'm going to have to walk across the lunchroom to get it. At the same time I see another intern with the same intention. Problem is, the other intern has a slight lead on me. Then it happened. I didn't think, I just acted. I took a stutter step to the left as if I intended on picking up my pace. The other intern acted in kind. At the last moment however I shifted HARD to the right and head towards the light switch. Soon after I cut the lights I hear the other intern crashing into one of the lunch tables. Cue the lights being turned back on. I'm munching on a bagel, other intern is nursing his knee.

Shirt: Geoffrey Beene / Vest:Club Room/ Belt: GAP / Pants: Kenneth Cole Reaction




Ahhh casual Friday. At my job all this means is that ties are optional (nobody opts to wear them).

I'm not quite sure if I'm liking the slacks. They looked decent when I tried them on but after wearing them for a bit they don't seem to be too comfortable. Oh well, didn't pay too much for them (got them at Ross).

* Tip: Mixing in a vest over a patterned shirt adds a chic look to the otherwise staid shirt/khaki corporate uniform. It also lets you get away with slightly rumpled shirts ;-)
