BLAZER IN BLUE
|
|
Get more mileage out of your wardrobe with a perfectly tailored blue blazer. As the economy looks up and colors lighten across the fashion industry, traditional navy blazers are joined by brighter shades of blue, giving a modern twist to a timeless classic. Look for tones ranging from inky, saturated blues to more subtle gray-blues in this versatile jacket.
The season's fresh colors still retain the mix-and-match appeal that makes a blue blazer a wardrobe staple for the well-dressed gentleman. Blue will coordinate easily with almost any trouser color, from cream to brown and from khaki to gray. The neutral blazer also allows a myriad of shoe color options. Consider rich browns and deep burgundies for your leather shoes to add warmth to your ensemble.
You can take advantage of the blazer's ability to support almost any colors by pairing it with a variety of stylish combinations of high-quality shirts and ties. Whether you prefer the strength of a power tie, relaxed earthy shades, or a lighthearted set of colors for your ties, your trusted blue blazer helps put the look together.
Dashing when paired with light colors, or understated when coordinated with dark ones: the perennial favorite blue blazer is an updated choice this fall.

Q & A - ASK SANDY

Question: When are studs and/or cufflinks appropriate?
Answer:
Cufflinks and studs are generally reserved for formal dress rather than everyday business clothing. Tuxedos should always be accessorized with cufflinks and studs. A mother-of-pearl set of cufflinks and studs is appropriate for white tie events, while plain silver or a tasteful coordinating color like black onyx can work with black tie occasions. For the more adventurous gentlemen, opt for novelty cufflinks and studs that reveal the real you.
If you're attending a less formal occasion in a dress shirt with French cuffs, it can be accompanied by silk knots or a variety of novelty links that represent your interests, hobbies, or occupation.
