Guest Feature - The Blek and White Jacket Edition

The primary purpose of this blog is to provide viewers with ideas on how they to dress well. As such I always welcome contributions from readers. So without further ado, I present to you another Guest feature post. This one features two different outfits. Thanks for the contributions and stay looking sharp guys!


Outfit #1:

Suit: Custom / Shirt: TM Lewin / Tie: English Laundry / Silk knots (for French cuffs): Saks / Scarf: GAP


Elegant blek suit with blue accents.



Note how the silk knots complement the shirt and tie.



The gray scarf is a nice touch. A nice example exemplifying the fact that one doesn't need to color-coordinate ones entire outfit. A blue scarf here would have looked too contrived.


Outfit #2:

Jacket: Express/ Shirt: Zara / Tie: Express / Pants: Express


This outfit is absolutely bonkers. There are too many ways to mess things up when you go with a white blazer but this guy makes it look easy by coordinating in a classic, sensible manner.


Attention to detail: Notice how the skinny tie complements the shirt.

Suit: Hart Schaffner Marx / Shirt: Ralph Lauren / Tie: Preswick & Moore / Belt: GAP




Suit worn to work today.

The tie was a late season pick up from my pop's wardrobe, just like the suit.

10/05/09 - Monday

Shirt: Arrow / Tie: Aldo / Belt: GAP / Pants: Michael Brandon



Wore a nifty skinny tie I found at the New York Aldo store.

I can see it getting playing time on weekends.

10/02/09 - Friday

Pullover: Express / Shirt: Michael Brandon / Belt: GAP / Pants: Express jeans



Casual Friday attire.

I often try to keep such outfits low-key with a sprinkling of chromatic insanity for good measure.

Shirt: Arrow / Tie: Perry Ellis Portfolio / Belt: GAP / Pants: Claiborne



Really like this tie for some reason...

9/30/09 - Wednesday

Suit: Jos A Bank / Shirt: Express (100's Two-Ply Cotton) / Tie: Jos A Bank / Belt: GAP



Suit worn today.

Like the shirt b/c of it's versatility, looks decent without a tie, magnifique with a suit.

9/29/09 - Tuesday

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.

9/28/09 - Monday

Shirt: Aeropostale / Tie: Puritan / Belt: GAP / Pants: Calvin Klein



Just like with the other Aeropostale shirt I got this shirt for no more than $8 at their outlet store just northeast of Atlanta, GA.

Pretty cool design, imo.

Makes me feel like I work for an ad agency (no Mad Men).

9/26/09 - Saturday

The WeekEnder:

Cardigan: Heritage 1981 (Forever 21) /Shirt: Russell / Belt: GAP / Pants: H&M jeans (Bragg)



Hai gaiz,

Hope all is well. :-D

I decided to start posting outfits worn outside of work*. Don't worry, I'll only post outfits that may be of interest to you. In other words I'll lay off on showing you guys some of the insane sweatshirt/pant combinations I come up with on the weekend.

* For easy reference I'll append "TheWeekender" label to such posts.


So without further ado, here's an outfit I wore over the weekend. My favorite college football team (University of Texas @ Austin) played this weekend so I had to represent while keeping it somewhat fashionable.

9/25/09 - Friday

Shirt: Express / Belt: GAP / Pants: Express jeans / Socks: Banana Republic



Casual Friday outfit.

Nothing too crazy. Purposefully color-coordinated the socks with the shirt today, which was somewhat out of habit.

* Wore a watch as well, which was of no use from a functional point of view (like everyone else these days I use my cell-phone to check the time).
