The Bold and the Beautiful

It’s time to start setting the trends instead of simply following them.

 

With the sun peeking out, so is the opportunity for you to refresh your wardrobe and incorporate a few carefully cultivated statement pieces. The Bandanna Print Cotton Polo from Ralph Lauren Boys is one way to get that conversation going! With its faded red color and classic print featured in a non-traditional manner, the shirt is bound to cause some double takes and glances of intrigue. Show off your sense of americana in a new modern way and enjoy every fashion forward step you take.

 

 

 

Dive head first into a pool of gorgeous hues and gradients and get ready to give ‘feeling blue’ a whole new meaning.

 

With the Dip-Dyed Cotton Mesh Polo, also from Ralph Lauren Boys, you’ll be cool as a cucumber on a hot summer day. Beginning with a soft white then moving through a sea of periwinkle and ocean blue into a deep navy, the polo boasts a color scheme that is easy on the eyes and hard to miss. Made of breathable cotton mesh for those activity filled days and featuring the signature pony on the left chest, the shirt pairs well with dark brown chinos or light washed jeans for a night or day eye-catching ensemble.


 

 

For those who’ve frequented The Spot before, you’ll already know how strongly I feel about about the plaid tie.

Much like a bandanna print on a polo shirt, a plaid pattern on a necktie is perfectly bold because it takes a timeless design and places it somewhere daringly different from the norm. The Ernest Plaid Tie from Original Penguin Ties and Bowties is a flawless way to start setting this trend, with criss-crossing stripes of pink, grey and blue lines providing plenty of hues to base the rest of your look from.


 

Looking to be bold but prefer for that quality in your wardrobe to manifest in a more understated way?

 

Then I recommend the Sunbury Paisley Tie from Perry Ellis Ties, stitched in silk to complement all of your elegant yet audacious fashion choices. This monochrome necktie features a charming paisley print woven throughout, giving subtle detail and leaving the rest up to you. Be as daring or dapper as you please by pairing this refined piece with a dress-shirt and chinos in two distinct contrasting colors.


 

 

 

It’s quite a feat to have a piece of clothing that gets people talking.

A plain polka dot tie may have its time and place to shine but make sure to leave room for sparkling fashion gems like the Men’s Toucan Conversational Tie in your repertoire. The precise yet whimsical pattern of dots and tropical birds come together in such a delightful way that I daresay this tie could quickly become your go to! Dress to impress and enjoy the twitter and chirping of those mesmerized by your bold and beautiful self.
