STAFF PICKS

Lets face it, not every guy is comfortable or confident enough to wear a vest, let alone one without a jacket. Some find it too formal while others often associate vests as the go-to uniform for waiters. With the help of our stylists we’re here to illustrate that not only can you wear a vest to any occasion but you can do so confidently, without looking like a waiter.

Try, for a second to erase all your preconceived notions about a vest and simply think of it as another layering piece. Much like a sweater or scarf, a vest is a great way to add dimension and character to any outfit. And with the growing number of styles and fabrics to choose from, there’s a lot you can do with it. Wether your exploring the city by day or out on the town at night, adding this simple piece into your arsenal could be all you need to one up your biggest style critics.

STYLE TIPS

With the world of menswear changing and evolving on the daily, it is understandable that many guys find it challenging to keep up with all the latest trends and styles. Fortunately, as with most things in menswear there are some basic ground rules that never quite change. This is especially true in the world of mens suiting. Granted today we see more patterns and textures making their way into the market, however the rules that govern them still remain the same. In this latest How To style video, Melissa helps you aim to be the Best Dressed guy in your office with these easy tips on how to match a shirt, tie and suit.

ITEM OF THE WEEK

Take the hard line with Vitaly’s Kusari bracelet. The chunky, stainless steel piece has a modern rocker vibe that complements off-duty gear (think denim, plaid and lots of black or white tees) and works to add a finishing detail to casual evening looks.

What is Kusari? Kursai was used in samurai armour from the 1270s but particularly from the Nambokucho period of 1336-1392. The rings were lacquered black to prevent rusting and were always stitched onto a backing of cloth or leather. Kusari was often concealed entirely between layers of cloth.
