Brilliant Basics
Are the autumn options that you’ve been periodically digging out of the depths of those storage boxes looking a little worn?
Well there’s no need to fret because The Spot is here to help you get some new old favorites into the mix and shake up your fall repertoire! Garments such as the versatile and stylish Blue Stripe Dress Shirt, available to you from Original Penguin, are a great place to start. You’ll never have to worry about matching, you’ll always feel like you’re put together, and you will wear it and re-pair it in new combinations often...trust me.
Now is a great time to transition from a bright summer look to a day-to-day fall ensemble by incorporating a larger amount of traditional prints.
Take advantage of the earth tones popping up around you by adding pieces like the Mens Slim Fit Stretch Easy Care Gingham Dress Shirt & Navy Ground Pin Dot Tie Set from the Nick Graham collection at Macy’s into your wardrobe. Enjoy being effortlessly on trend with this duo of age-old patterns in complementary rich tones that contrast each other perfectly. Keep in mind plaid, stripes, polka dots, and gingham as you create looks this season, these are the timeless patterns that are essential to update and maintain!
I don’t know about you but this past week has shown me a glimpse of that beautiful sliver of time when outerwear doesn’t need to be super heavy and I am so excited to be putting on my lighter denims, cardigans, and blazers!
Join me in my unbridled joy with a piece like the Mens Slim Fit Navy Textured Jacket, also from the Nick Graham collection at Macy’s. The coat checks off all the fall time fashion boxes because of its deep muted color and textured print for added interest. It’ll ward off those slightly chill winds and turn up the heat for your outfit!
As mentioned earlier, a classic print is always a great move when getting dressed for the fall.
A garment like the Slim Embers Neat Tie from Perry Ellis takes the timeless polka dot, gives it a bit of extra pizazz, and keeps it understated enough that the necktie still matches with all of your new options. Keep to the color scheme displayed for easy elegance in blue, black and chrome or incorporate cool tones like plum and burgundy for another way to bring the whole look together.
My final piece of fashion advice this season is to once again implore you to pay heed to the necessity of having some blooming blossoms in your closet.
The Mens Cilic Floral Skinny Tie is available from Original Penguin and features numerous snow white petals with twisting grey vines on a blue background. The color scheme is subtle and demure, the nod to a season gone by is wonderfully cheeky, and the soft sketches of flowers are the perfect way to spruce up any daytime or nighttime look.
