THE TUXEDO FACTOR
A RED CARPET-READY LOOK IN PURE SARTORIAL TRADITION
Whether you're off to a brunch or an art gallery, the key is to maximize comfort without compromising on style. Sunday tailoring calls for mismatched ensembles. Pair a solid-colored jacket with bright-hued pants for a strong sartorial statement. Add a dose of fantasy with a printed pocket square. Dare to experiment with patterns and geometries or inject a dose of vintage appeal, American-style. Finish off with a pair of English lace-ups or loafers to keep the silhouette lean and chic.
SHOP THE SELECTION
A strong cocktail might make heads spin but so will your dapper elegance. Eveningwear comes with a strong set of rules and allows for only a few touches of fantasy. Opt for a statement jacket, such as a tuxedo style with skinny lapels, or go for an evening-appropriate double-breasted number, to be worn undone over a t-shirt. Shirts can either be white or gray, possibily with origami pleating. The collar should be small, almost invisible. Accessories are essential: a silk tie or scarf, shiny leather shoes and the all-important cufflinks.
SHOP THE SELECTION
Sartorial staples for the globe-trotting generation. Whether for business or leisure, we're all frequent travelers. For short trips, it's all about packing light. Find the perfect weekend bag and opt for comfortable outerwear. Pockets and cases are essential to keep your devices and documents in perfect order. Over your jacket, wear a waterproof coat in case you need to brave the elements. Go for earthy tones and add a touch of print. Ideally, bring a single pair of lace-up shoes or a suede loafer in a spicy hue.
SHOP THE SELECTION
Your office attire is your business card. Leave all casual temptations aside and prepare for the return of the jacket. Gray or blue, paired with a skinny tie, it's a hallmark of rigor. Start with a mismatched ensemble and progress towards the kind of classic suit that is bound to appeal to even the more unconventional of the bunch. The key is to make it sharp but creative. Keep extras to a minimum: a pocket square, a pair of lace-ups and a functional iPad case are all you need.
SHOP THE SELECTION
Picture a hoard of photographers and flashing lights as if you were a bona fide A-lister. Whether you're attending an award ceremony or a more mundane function, channel Old Hollywood for a suave take on black-tie. Tuxedos always work best in black or midnight blue. The fit should be impeccable, almost bespoke, and the lapels should provide a shiny contrast. Underneath, only an immaculate shirt will do, ideally paired with a chic and playful bow-tie. The waist should be accentuated by a cummerbund while the cuffs should always be done up with cufflinks. The right shoe is made of black patent leather, be it a lace-up or a loafer.
SHOP THE SELECTION
FOR WORK, TRAVEL OR PLAY FINDING THE PERFECT JACKET
The first thing to look for in a spring jacket? Lightweight fabric, of course. Go classic in a fully lined, impeccably tailored, two-button style. Or, opt for something sportier, and keep it fresh by pairing it with a light-hued button-down, tee or polo shirt. It's one way to look cool while you beat the heat.
