Dressy

I feel like dress shirts are highly underrated these days. People mostly feel like they are supposed to be worn with suits only. Often case that is the best way to style it, but I do not believe it is the only way you should style it.

I love to wear dress shirts during the summer and fall season as it gets hot in California to do any layers. I usually keep it simple and leave a few buttons unbuttoned with a tank top showing through.

As for the dress up appeal, that is where the right kind of footwear comes in handy. You want to wear a double monk-strap dress shoe to go from casual to chic.

Summer is official over. Now we can all go and be basic with our pumpkin spice latte as fall begins. But not really on the basic part because I really do like Starbucks Pumpkin Spice latte. It's one of the things that I look forward to in the fall as well as layering and great jackets.

Also, I can wear suits without dying from the heat. Some times it is hard being dapper. That is why I choose not to be dapper all the time. There are ways to wear suits without looking all stiff and uptight.

One way is to keep it casual with a nice tee shirt with patterns to add some contrast and boldness to the outfit.

Keeping it casual in a suit is one of my favorite looks. It is just a quick and easy change to the dapper suit look. You can add a lot of personality to it by wearing sneakers or adding a pin to the blazer like I did.
