Dark and Dapper
A darker hue is flattering for every body shape and can showcase your best self in an endless variety of silhouettes.
This week on The Spot, we’ll find a few pieces that allow you to do just that! A great place to start is with the Men's Slim-Fit Comfort Stretch Dobby Denim Diagonal Dress Shirt, from the Vince Camuto collection available at Macy’s. Designed in a pleasant classic denim blue and featuring a subtle geometric print, this deep toned top is sure to do all the right things for your wardrobe this season.
Looking for an item to add to the repertoire that is more than sure to dazzle?
Then try a piece like the Men's Slim-Fit Stretch Cobalt Blue Shawl Lapel Prom Jacket from the Ryan Seacrest Distinction collection created for Macy’s! This dapper blazer is just the thing to tie your out-on-the-town look together, and have all eyes giving you double takes. With its royal blue cascade of color throughout and contrasting black lapels, this suit jacket is the darkness in the bright you’ve been looking for.
What would a segment of The Spot be without a nod to my favorite realm of the fashion universe, the floral?!
It would be missing out on my suggestion to mix it up with Ditsy Floral Dress Shirt, from Original Penguin! With a dark periwinkle backdrop and a scattering of blossoming buds in pink blue and red splashes of color, this shirt boasts tons of detail balanced with all the subtlety that comes with a small print. Wear it with your favorite grey slacks to complete the look and feel dark yet darling!
Thinking about adding a bowtie into your “dressed up”, “let’s do more than a completely casual outfit” this year?
I applaud the sense of trend adventure and encourage those brave fashion folk heading in this direction to tread lightly! I’d recommend a garment such as the Dark Navy Crossed Metallic Bow Tie, from Perry Ellis, which can be versatile in its ability to match both function and clothing ensemble. Featuring a dark navy background with pops of white peeking through, this neck piece is sure to be your accessory for all seasons!
A traditional print something that appeals to your finely tuned style sensibilities?
Then grab yourself a necktie like the Slim Heslov Stripe Tie, also available to you from Perry Ellis! With its simple and elegant thick diagonal stripes in black and grey, it’ll be the accent your outfits have been waiting for. Wear it to work, to drinks, to a dinner party, to a weekend getaway party and every other occasion suitable in between! You can’t go wrong with a piece that’s a little dark and a little dapper.
