A Personality Piece
When it comes to clothes that showcase unique personal style, it's nice to have some guidelines so that the closet doesn't end up an endless sea of only statement pieces.
Step one is to jump into a favorite color and not be shy when it comes to the eye-catching outlier options. Take for example the Ombré Striped Cotton Tee from Ralph Lauren Boys, a top that provides the perfect balance of monochromatic elegance and personal flair. Use it as a template, pick your top 3 favorite colors, and find yourself a few tops that step outside the box while staying within your cultivating color scheme.
An item of clothing that is considered a staple is one that will ideally match with almost infinite number of combinations in your wardrobe.
One example of this is the Leather Moto Jacket, also from Ralph Lauren Boys, which aptly fulfills the role of the multi-season cool and confident outerwear option. You can wear this jacket with a casual jeans and t-shirt daytime look to add some effortless edge and then dress it up with a button down sleek brown dress shoe ensemble for the moonlight hours spent strolling and looking undeniably awesome.
Inspired to try a neck accessory that doesn't get as much attention as its near relative the necktie?
Then let's promenade together towards a piece that has a pinch of that personal style spark and yet retains the subtlety to be used for event after soirée after potluck. The Black Tiny Leaf Print Bow from Perry Ellis with its greyscale foliage and dark black backdrop is a way to add some intrigue to your repertoire that will be iconic and standard.
It's time for the weekly floral and a surefire way to make the accessory an addition that fits comfortably with your unique take on the trend.
Go for a piece like the Men's Kimball Floral Skinny Tie, available to you from the Bar III collection created for Macy's, choosing soft tones and fine lines to accent any outfit in a delicately understated fashion. Gather some pastel shades but make them your own and watch your outfit blossom. Pick things that match and never compromise your genuine aesthetic enjoyment!
For those craving a bigger statement in certain areas of their wardrobe I'd like to suggest keeping the colors demure but the prints veering closer to avenge-garde.
The Men's Newton Floral Skinny Tie, from the Original Penguin collection at Macy's, combines an ink-stamped floral and an underlying plaid to create intrigue that'll stand the test of trend time. The stacking of the prints brings new life to old classics, something to keep in mind as you finish of this week's The Spot and start searching for your personality pieces!
