Feels

Can't go to the Havana this summer, so I am taking Havana to me. Adding some floral to my wardrobe during the summer.

I know what you are thinking, "Floral for summer? How shocking". Well, how can you not wear floral prints for the summer, it is the only time it is acceptable to do so, so why not?

Play around with the prints and be playful. I love to wear floral prints for my shirts and keeping the lower parts of my outfit like the pants and shoes simple and clean. That way the attention goes straight to my shirt and have a whole cohesive look.

Forthwith

Mother nature can be a trip! Nowadays, you cannot even trust your weather app to tell you the temperature anymore. It may looks nice and beautiful outside, but once you step out there it's a whole different story.

Dressing appropriate for the weather can be tough as you never know what day might hold. Spring is a very interesting season can it can be cold, cool, warm, or hot. You just never know how it is going to be. One thing I love about my Uniqlo lightweight vest is the fact that it is lightweight, and it keeps me warm when it gets a bit chilly.

A trend during the summer that always come back is khaki. It is the comeback trend that everyone loves because earth tones are easy to wear and style. My khaki pants goes with every color of shirts I own. Styling is simple and I love that I do not have to overthink what goes with it.

March

Oftentimes I like to march to the beats of my own drum. Which can be many things, and one of them is the suits I wear.

One of the best thing about wearing such a bold suit is the you do not have to do much styling to it. This is the case of letting the suit speaks for itself. When a suit is so bold you do not want to heavily accessorize it. Keeping it simple with just a fitted white shirt, a classic tie, and a timeless watch.

Sometimes finding the right footwear to wear with a suit can be tough. But you got to remember the rules to finding the right pairs.

1. Compliments the suit

2. Simplicity so it doesn't clash with the suit

3. Color matters. So make sure the shoes color contrast well with the suit.

New Classic

Bringing back the classic look in a new way.

Thanks to Sprezzabox for their monthly supply of menswear goods, I was able to style my Darkoh suit with influences from Wall Street.

This blog post is inspired by the men of Wall Street. You can easily spot who works in Wall Street by the way they dress. They are known for strong contrast of colors, bold colors, expensive accessories, and of course, suspenders to make sure their wallet won't pull their pants down.

Although, I am not a fan of the typical shirts with thick lines, or a solid color with the contrast collars and cuffs. I decided to just keep my shirt a solid color. By keeping a solid color shirt, I can pair it with a funky polka dots suspender.

To complete the look of the Wall Street you got to make sure you have your accessories in order. You tie have to be in contrast with your suit. You suspenders got to be over the top. And your shoes, they are the thing that puts the whole looks together. Stick with a wingtip or brogues, but no square-toed shoes. They are tacky.

Derring-Do

Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it. But sometimes it is fun to be bad.

The second installment of my style post in styling your favorite suit into different looks. In my previous blog post I kept it very minimal and easy to wear from day time to night time.

Today's style post is more edgy and stylish than the first. I'd like to say that this look is about bringing the edgy side of you out. The dark side where you don't let it shine much, but now you can in how you dress. Sometime being bad is just half as fun as doing good. Style is about being creative and often time you get to play with it.

One of the best thing about a simple suit like this one, you can play with it by styling it with  pattern/print shirts to add some edge or contrast to the suit. In this look, I added a a tribal influenced shirt to pair it with the blue suit. With just one piece of clothing I turned this suit into more of a night out outfit rather than something you would wear at the office.

Now let's talk about adding accessories to this outfit to complete the look. This made sound weird, but this fur lining leather jacket is one of my accessories to this look that helps bring the edgy feel. If you ever want to feel like a bad-ass I recommend you investing in a pair of leather jackets. They are the ultimate bad-ass jacket that is trending every spring. Adding some two chains to the mix helps bring out the gold prints in my shirt. Keeping my wrist game on point with the helps of the Daniel Wellington team by providing me with this rose gold watch.

This year footwear is all about the monk straps. They are the men's stylish dress shoes as they bring class and touch of masculine to your look overall. They are very easy to pair with casual look or formal.

As I my style evolve through out the years I like to experience and see what works for me. I am becoming more daring on how I style my suits because I do not like to be typical with it and play it safe. It does not always have to be suit and tie. So have fun and add some prints and leather to your suit. Be bold with it.

Hello,

Hope everyone is doing well

This week style post will be a series of 3 looks featuring a three-piece suit from Darkoh. I will be styling this suit into 3 different style that is ready to wear for any occasions.

The commitment to buying a suit is tough because they are very expensive, and you want to make sure that the investment is worth it. You want to make sure that it is the suit that you can wear it many times. One thing that I will confidently tell you is I always recycle my suit into different looks. I can get at least 6 outfits from one suit by styling it with my other wardrobe.

The first look of this series is very simple and causal as it is practical for day to night time look. Putting together the 3 piece and keeping it crisp with just a plain white shirt. The attention should be on the suit no need to try any harder for it. I would say that this look is more of a night time for dates or causal wear at the office. If you want this look to be more formal, then just add a nice solid color or pattern tie and handkerchief for a quick up-do to the outfit.

Any look isn't complete without a nice pair of shoes and accessories to go with it. In this case a nice pair of loafers and a classic watch. This summer it is all about loafers. They are the the summer dress shoes as they are easy to slip on and adds such a classy feel to any looks. I went for a brown loafers for this blue suit. One thing to keep in mind when wearing all in blue is finding the right color of footwear to balance it is. The best colors to wear is white or brown. They will balance out the all blue look so you won't look like you are part of the Blue Man Group.

One watch that I always pair with my suit is the classic Daniel Wellington watches. They are really the watch for all style as they are go from formal to casual by switching out the strap for leather or nato band. From now until the end of April you can get 15% off all Daniel Wellington product using my promo code "datswhatupp".
