be dapper a men s fashion blog tuesday october 4 2011 how to dress business casual the new dress code one of my good friends sent me this question yesterday i have a meeting this thursday and the dress is business casual this event however is usually exclusive to mba students in other words a professor vouched for me a brilliant undergrad and i don t want my professor to regret the decision how do i optimize my first impression potential well first off it s a good sign that you re putting some thought into how you ll dress to the event not only for your own benefit but to ensure that someone who put their neck out for you will be glad that he did first impressions count and people will be judging you by the clothes you wear whether you or even they know it the rules of business casual have changed in the past 20 years sometimes not for the better while some people consider it appropriate to wear a polo and jeans or even a t shirt yikes to work every day upgrading your style is the first step towards upgrading your career unfortunately the fact that business casual has no fast rules means that it can be difficult to decide what is really appropriate i m going to show you three great options for a business casual dress code that make you look like a professional without going for a suit the navy blazer a navy blazer is essential to any man s wardrobe but to really pull off a great business casual look you ll want to make sure it is tailored well make sure that when you button it up it tugs slightly around your waist the sleeves should show about a half inch of shirt cuff and make sure it is not too long notice that the man in the picture below isn t wearing a tie but he still looks professional they key is in the details brown leather shoes a white pocket square and smart grey wool slacks make this look impeccable navy blazer with grey slacks gq the business sweater if you haven t had the chance to invest in a well tailored navy blazer yet a merino wool v neck sweater is your next best option go for a muted color such as navy or grey you can get a little bolder with the shirt underneath as all that will be showing is the collar and cuffs notice the similarities between this picture and the previous one once again the keys are in the details it s imperative that you pay attention to all pieces of your outfit particularly shoes fashionable well made shoes that will last for a decade or more are a worthy early investment and should be part of your wardrobe as soon as possible v neck sweater with grey slacks gq the chino pants khaki pants get a bad rap thanks to poorly fitted options that flood the marketplace but chinos with a trim fit and proper break over the shoes are a great piece for business casual go for something that has a flat front no pleats slight to no break over your shoes and a crisp crease on the front if you re not willing to throw a blazer sweater or vest over your shirt you should probably throw on a tie layers are sophisticated and signal that you take the time to consider your appearance rather than just throwing on whatever is available to you don t forget that a leather strapped watch is the best looking accessory you can own khaki chinos gq as usual the imperative of great fit is more important than anything else note that all the options shown fit the man in the picture perfectly with no bunching folding or rolling on any of the fabric ensure that your fit is perfect and all else will fall into place thanks for reading as always be dapper read more posted by unknown at 9 20 pm 258 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels blazer business business casual pants sweaters sweaters to keep you warm and stylish this winter sweaters have received a bad rap for a long time as the less sartorially inclined have only considered the crew neck sweatshirt their only option however a sweater is one of the smartest and most versatile pieces of a man s wardrobe for fall and winter today i want to show you three stylish sweaters that you ll want to add to your lineup immediately the v neck merino this is an absolute necessity for any man really if you don t own one yet you need to make sure you buy one today don t go for the cotton option they re a little too thick to use all year round which you can with merino wool the v neck merino sweater will become your go to layering option especially for the office pair it up over a shirt and tie and you will be amazed at how much your look is elevated also throw a blazer over it as well the great thing about merino wool is that it is thin enough to have additional layers over the top without turning you into a fountain of sweat extra fine merino wool v neck sweater banana republic the cardigan equally appropriate at work and at home the cardigan is a great look for a guy who is looking for something that makes a bit more of a statement than the v neck while some would not consider the cardigan a professional look i dare you to don a shirt and tie below one and ask yourself if you don t look good enough for the office don t be afraid to go with a bold color if you already have a few other more subdued options in your wardrobe cardigans are a great way to pop some color into your winter wardrobe tom ford cardigan sweater gq the shawl collar more of a casual look but still stylish the shawl collar is very much in style right now while there are many options for a shawl collar sweater i like to go with something a little thicker layering over the shawl collar can get a little too busy around the neck so i prefer this style stand on its own you can go for a pullover but i like the look of a buttoned front really it s still a cardigan but the style is so different it deserves separate mention if you go for something thick you ll look equally appropriate chopping lumber as you would out for an evening stroll by the way the sweater below is only 19 95 what are you waiting for shawl collar sweater h m thanks for reading as always be dapper read more posted by unknown at 11 24 am 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels cardigan merino shawl sweaters wool wednesday september 21 2011 how to wear a scarf as a fashionable man scarves are a great accessory for men just as much as they are for women many men hesitate to don a scarf but scarves are a great complement to your outerwear and are a perfect way to inject some color and bold style into the mostly drab colors of winter not only that but scarves keep you warmer than you might think so they are just as utilitarian as they are fashionable after you ve found yourself a great men s winter coat it s time to top it off with something that you can make a statement with today i ll show you three ways to tie men s scarves and some great buying options that will keep you warm and stylish through the winter the tie knot anytime i am wearing a jacket or outwear with lapels i use the tie knot while not particularly difficult to tie the hardest part of perfecting this fashionable scarf knot is to make it look like you really didn t even try to tie it that said the tie knot makes a bold statement as it is much more chunky and noticeable than the parisian or the once around to make a tie knot drape the scarf around your neck and cross one end over the other pull the front end of the scarf up through the crossover and let it hang voila you ve made a tie knot it s even bold enough to pair up with a stylish men s hat burberry cashmere men s scarf neiman marcus the parisian knot my go to knot for scarves the parisian knot is easy to master simply fold your scarf over itself length wise wrap around your neck and pull the loose ends through the loop the key to getting this knot to look great is to knot have it flat around your neck as you tie it let the scarf pile up and create some texture also this knot is easy to tuck inside a jacket on extremely cold days this knot looks great over sweaters and is also a great choice over a slim fit shirt armani wool men s scarf neiman marcus the once around knot the once around is a great choice for extra cold days where you really need to warmth provided by a scarf easy to make and here s how hang the scarf around your neck with one end longer than the other then take the long end around your neck and let it fall over your chest that s all you can also do a twice around by wrapping the scarf around your neck twice a great choice for crew necks and mandarin collar jackets brunello cucinelli rib knit scarf neiman marcus thanks for reading as always be dapper read more posted by unknown at 9 07 am 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels outerwear scarf scarves winter friday september 16 2011 the coats jackets you need this fall fall is almost upon us and it s time to start getting your fall winter wardrobe out i love this time of year and what it allows me to do with my wardrobe between the layering options different textures and fabrics available and the seemingly endless amount of accessories available to you fall is the best time to make a statement about your own personal style of course with the cooler weather you re going to want to keep warm and a classic stylish jacket is the perfect way to do that today i ll show you 3 timeless jackets that are a perfect addition to any man s wardrobe the peacoat the peacoat has its roots with 19th century european sailors originally cut from a fabric called p cloth the fabric was coarse and was designed to repel water and keep the sailors dry and warm however the style took to land and has stuck ever since peacoats are always double breasted have big collars and usually bold anchor buttons it s all part of what makes the peacoat so recognizable keep in mind that this is not a jacket to wear with your suit peacoats are cut short and your suit jacket will pop out of the bottom these days peacoats are available in a huge variety of styles colors and fabrics but i like to stick to classics now normally i m not an old navy fan but i picked up this wool blend peacoat for only 50 last season and it is great the cut is surprisingly fitted and it is incredibly warm and comfortable it s available again this season so jump on this one when you can find a discount deal old navy has them all the time men s wool blend peacoat old navy the trench coat similar in style to the peacoat the trench coat was originally designed by burberry for officers of the british royal army the trench is recognizable by being cut longer sometimes all the way to the knees including a belt epaulets a button yoke on the back shoulders and a buttoned flap over the right shoulders trench coats are also generally made of a lighter material than peacoats with modern versions incorporating many synthetic fabrics into their construction often the biggest question of style when wearing a trench coat will come down to your belt do you tie it buckle it hang it in the back i see it as a matter of personal preference experiment and see what you like most if you really hate the belt take it out and cut off the loops shades of grey tan trench coat piperlime the leather jacket i ve already gone in depth into how to buy a leather jacket but it s worth another mention in this article because the leather jacket is an essential addition to any man s wardrobe if you re really too lazy to go read that article i ll give the short version here make sure it fits snug keep it simple without a lot of embellishments and try out a brown jacket before settling on black that said i think the most classic leather jacket look for fall is a bomber style pictured below just rebellious enough to get a second glance but conservative enough to take to the office burberry leather bomber jacket nordstrom thanks for reading as always be dapper read more
