Staff Picks for November

November 12, 2011
The timing is right for this Ceruti tuxedo jacket priced at $995. You’ve got holiday parties, charity events, galas, and countless social gatherings in the upcoming two months. This jacket will work some texture into your look, and once holiday season is over you can mix it up with different pants or even dress it down with dark denim. It’s a very fashion forward look, and it’s Armando’s favourite look for November.
 

The velvet jacket is a staple fall/winter piece and Neale’s favourite piece this month. T-Concept by Tombolini makes this perfect blazer for $675. The slim fit gives you shape and keeps it modern while being super comfortable. Take a break from the regular lapels with the shawl collar. Velvet jackets are dressier than the usual wool, but this one can transition well from day to night.
Do you have a brown suit? If not, Strellson has a brown suit for ($825). Brown is a colour not many people buy suits in, so switch it up and stand out from the office crowd. Patricia loves the texture and perfect winter weight, sure to keep you cozy and warm. As seen in the picture, pairing brown with blue is classic. Together with the slim fit, texture, and mixing patterns, this suit makes achieving that updated traditional look very simple.Paired with SAND shirt $225, Ted Baker tie $98, Haight & Ashbury pocket square $40.
Another great fall/winter suit is this one from the Gotstyle Private Label priced at $795. If you prefer to plan with texture in a bold way, this is the way to do it. The great winter weight is kept edgy with a tapered, cuffed pant, making this suit Max’s favourite this month. Can’t forget the sharp peak lapel! Perfect for the office, but easily paired down with jeans.

It’s not all about style, you’ve gotta be warm too! ‘Tis the season to pick up SUIT scarves ($100), Superdry mittens ($55), and down-filled jackets from Nobis or Moose Knuckles before the snow comes. Functional, warm, comfy. No wonder Janette loves them!
