Naturally Dapper
Today we’re gonna set up a nice foundation and give you great options for a dapper outfit that is more than ready to take the town by storm.
Let’s start the look with the Men's Slim-Fit Stretch Burgundy Solid Suit Separates, from the Ryan Seacrest Distinction collection available at Macy’s. For our purposes I recommend sticking with the same color for the jacket and the pants, the deep maroon will offset the nature-inspired patterns and prints that you will find below! Designed with a slim fit and tapered legs, this suit combo is the modern wardrobe marvel that’ll make matching a breeze and looking breezy even easier.
At first glance, the appeal of this shirt comes from the rich blue color that plays perfectly off of our burgundy building block.
However, if you look a little closer at the Palm Tree Dress Shirt from Original Penguin you’ll notice the intrigue comes from the subtly whimsical pattern! Featuring countless miniature palm trees throughout the garment, this shirt lets the world know that you aren’t afraid of causing a double-take. Stride in confidence knowing that you nailed the contemporary trend of color blocking, pleasant print, and splash of something extraordinary.
When it comes to matching florals to a suit that already boasts a striking color, it’s best to keep within the same tonality.
Since the suit of the day sits unabashedly in the red family, it’s time to go bold with a bit of pink! The Men's Slim-Fit Stretch Easy-Care Floral Print Dress Shirt, from the Nick Graham collection available at Macy’s, is the solution to this fashion equation. Designed with a predominantly soft pink and covered with different scattered blooms in a variety of natural shades, this shirt is the way to go if the palm fronds don’t pack quite the kick you’re desiring.
Opting for a solid dress shirt in the face of that deep maroon?
Accessorize it with a pop of pattern to give your demure outfit an understated conversation piece! The Men's Floral Pocket Square created for Macy’s by Bar III is just the thing your outfit needs. Featuring baby blue blossoms on a black background on the front and smaller ones against eggshell white on the back, this pocket square has just enough flavor to make everyone want a taste of your sweet company.
There is a time and a place for overall matching and for those of you ready to dive into this trend, there’s no better way than with, yes you guessed it, a nice floral.
The Men's Ward Floral Skinny Tie from Original Penguin is just a shade lighter than the suit from above and features impressionist-style flowers in subdued blues, reds and greens. Wear with brown shoes to complete the look and feel at ease knowing that your color coordination is successfully dapper and undoubtedly distinct.
