Well said.
When it all comes down to it, it’s so easy to dress well. Take the guy here for example.
1. Start off with a well-tailored jacket. Multiple tweeds and a blue blazer will do you well. The brand really doesn’t matter so much as the fit, and some money well spent at a tailor can fix an ill fitting jacket.
2. Crisp blue and white shirts go with everything and can be worn casually or formally if you know what you’re doing.
3. A navy cashmere sweater will get you through 3 months out of the year comfortably and summer depending on where you live.
4. A pair of grey flannel pants will go with everything listed above in any number of combinations. By changing your jacket and shirt you can wear the same pair of pants or similar pairs day after day. Many underestimate the importance of investing in a good pair of pants, but it pays off. Trade in the flannels for a pair of khakis on the weekend.
5. Lastly, invest in a pair of cordovan loafers. Alden’s LHS (or luxury handsewn) penny loafer is one of their most versatile models because it can be worn once again as a business shoe or as a casual one. Look to Michael Bastian who wears that exact model with t-shirts as much as he wears them with dress shirts.
When you put all of this together you get quite the sharp-dressed man….
but of course you knew all of this beforehand.
