Theme and Trend
You can count on the heat to inspire some scorching styles to come forth, even as the air conditioning blasts colder and frostier.
Pieces like the Shell Print Dress Shirt from Original Penguin are the ones that will be featured this week on the Spot, highlighting a pop of personality mixed with some subtle summer sophistication. Wear this versatile shirt with your favorite dark-washed slim-fit jeans for evening drinks or pair it with light corduroys for those Sundays when you and your friends are craving that afternoon brunch outing.
Looking for an item of clothing that works as a foundation to build the rest of your outfit from?
Then look to pieces like the Men's Slim-Fit Stretch Turquoise Dobby Dress Shirt from the Vince Camuto collection available at Macy’s. With its rich and bright blue hue along with the understated dobby pattern throughout, this top is easy to match with other pieces in your wardrobe and guaranteed to be an aesthetically pleasing addition to your repertoire. Wear with other shades of blue, cool colors, and dark jewel tones to create the look you’ve been cultivating for yourself this summer.
Some people follow trends and some people set them and here at The Spot I’d like to think that we try to do a healthy balance of both.
With a piece like the Men's Walking Flamingo Skinny Tie, from the Bar III collection available at Macy’s, I believe the equilibrium is oh-so in line with those sensibilities. Featuring a smattering of poised pink flamingos on a crisp powdered periwinkle background, this tie has that measured touch of whimsy that’ll bring your creative side to the light and your undeniable style to the forefront.
There are florals that are soft accentuators of an ensemble and those that take the spotlight: patterns are a great way to explore that style spectrum.
With garments like the Men’s Tropical Hibiscus Skinny Tie, also available from the Bar III collection at Macy’s, you can try on the demure tones of lavender and magenta one night and bring out the bolder blues and peaches on another. Often, all it takes is a change of color to say what you want with your look.
The floral tie is one thing but the floral shirt is a slightly larger garden to play about in.
Try out your fashion forward green thumb with pieces like the Floral Classic Fit Button Down Shirt, an item with a color scheme that allows for effortless outfit creating possibilities. With a dark gingham tone backdrop and soft blue and yellow blossoms blooming throughout, it’ll be the garment of this summer season and those to come.
