NEVER button the bottom button!

On a 3-button jacket, button the middle:

The top button is optional:

If you have a jacket w/four or more buttons, you know what to do!

QUICK STYLE TIP #6: the Navy Blue Tie!

Navy is a fabulous color…the navy blue tie is classic:

But you don’t always have to pair your ties w a suit (although this is a crisp look!):

Another great look for your navy tie–or any other color choice–is to pair it w a cardigan and a patterned shirt, as shown here:

Your tie does not always have to be worn for special occasions! Wear your tie w a cardigan just because it’s Thursday! For this particular look, I would couple the tie/shirt/cardigan combo w indigo colored tailored jeans, and a navy or grey casual high top sneaker/boot.

Share Your Flare!

QUICK STYLE TIP #5: Keep It Fitted!

Whether you suit up for work or only on special occasions, you need a suit.

A well tailored two-button, notch lapel, navy…

Greys and yellows play well together… This ensemble has a very good balance of the amount of yellow in the suit, scarf, and pocket square while adding different shades of grey.
