Subtly Chic
Shake things up with a soft splash of paint...
intentionally splattered for a modern look. The Cotton Chambray Workshirt from Ralph Lauren Boys has the right amount of creative detail to let your style through and your personality be showcased. The seemingly erratic paint splatters add to the intrigue of the shirt, making people take a second glance. Pair with a dark-washed denim or a light khaki to complete the ensemble and show them you aren’t afraid to paint outside the lines!
Keeping with the avant-garde theme of the last item...
it is a belief of mine that a well placed smattering of color can do more for an outfit than the most detailed of stitching. The Paint-Splatter Cotton T-Shirt from Ralph Lauren Boys is your ticket to achieving effortless everyday style. Available in blue heather or white, this t-shirt is the perfect addition to your young man’s wardrobe. Confidently make a subtle statement in this classic shirt with a creative twist.
While a nice pair of jeans can bring an outfit together...
there is something to say for the added elegance that comes with a pair of chinos. Either of the pieces above would be enhanced by adding the Belted Stretch Skinny Chino from Ralph Lauren Boys to the look. These skinny fit, stretch pants come with a silver-tone belt to cinch them into place and add even more understated flair. Available in adirondack berry, old royal, and white, the chinos remain classic even as they bring out the contemporary feel of an outfit.
The bottle green color of this tie...
is enough to bring anyone’s eyes out and have everyone’s else’s fixated on you. The Warwick Dot Tie from Perry Ellis Ties has that extra splash of color that puts it on same playing field as all of our other subtly chic pieces of clothing. The diminutive accents of orange, purple and blue highlight the deep green backdrop and make it clear that bold and beautiful does not have to be brash and loud. Wear with a light blue dress shirt and earth tone pants to complete the look.
A little paisley can go a long way!
With the Men's Slim-Fit Comfort Stretch Blue Paisley Print Dress Shirt from Vince Camuto, you can pretty much make any outfit go from simple to subtly spectacular. Available in the iris color and designed for a modern sleek fit, this shirt is extremely classy without being super flashy. Pair with almost any shade of pant to bring it all together in your own way. There’s just enough detail to showcase your personal style and leave some room for the imagination.
