The Modern Man

Here at The Spot, we're all about stepping out of the comfort zone while remaining steadfastly true to our personalities.

Contemporary fashion allows for much more variety in your wardrobe than previous decades, so let's make some simple yet individualized choices! The Embroidered Sweater from Ralph Lauren Boys is a good place to start. With its versatile black tone and sports themed all-over print, it has just the right amount of interest to show you off without showing you up. Wear it on those cool summer evenings and keep it in your repertoire for the incoming autumn chill.

I have very strong feelings about jogger pants and all of them are positive!

And you should as well! The combination of an elastic waistband for comfort and tapered leg for class is pretty hard to beat. Hop on the bandwagon that is this trend with the Cotton Poplin Jogger, also from Ralph Lauren Boys. The khaki color makes them easy to match with almost any top and the light cotton makes them ideal for any remaining heat waves that have yet to come our way.

A modern man should have an upscale evening look for those nights that are a touch more special.

That doesn't necessarily mean you have to bring out the penguin coattails and spats, especially if that's just not you! Introducing the VEGA T7T0060, a pleasant twist on the classic idea of a suit available from the Spring 2018 collection of Tallia Orange. Centered around a bold patterned vest in jewel tones, the outfit tones it back a notch with dark washed jeans and a crisp white dress shirt. The bowtie ties it all together, creating an ensemble that is the perfect balance of elegant and effortless.

 

By now it should be abundantly clear how important I think it is for a man to have a floral, moreover a floral tie, in their closet.

This specific combination conveys an equal sense of sensitivity and unbridled confidence necessary for the fashionable modern gentleman! With one of the Men's Skinny Cotton Tie from Bar III Ties, you can test out the trend in understated and indubitable style. Designed in a navy Tegla Vine Floral, this necktie does all the right things to make your outfit blossom.

 

 

Sometimes statement pieces are designed to be solely for your own personal enjoyment.

When it comes to underwear on the contemporary style stage, the guiding principle should be the bolder the better. Show off your avant-garde patriotic streak with the God Bless a Miracle Boxer Briefs from Tango Hotel and shine as bright on the outside as the stars and stripes underneath it all! Made with the signature strong waistband and wicking for added comfort, these briefs are perfect for the modern man who likes to be understated, but passionate.
