Own the Details

image

Creating a look that gets noticed isn’t about dressing like a peacock. It is about dressing like a gentleman. The details separate an outfit that is sub-par from one that gets noticed. Why does 007 always standout at a party? It’s not because he’s wearing a different outfit than everyone else; it is because he is wearing it better than anyone else. He owns the details. A navy suit, white shirt and tie can be upgraded with little tweaks and additions. Make sure the suit fits properly; show about ¼”- ½” of shirt cuff; select a collar that works with the proportions of the suit; hold the tie in place with a tie bar; and stuff the breast pocket with a pocket square. These little details help define a look, and they add a touch of sophistication and class.

Spring is Around the Corner...

Spring is Around the Corner…

 

“The J. Hilburn Linen Plaid Sportcoat will be how men of style elevate their game this Spring. Details like patch pockets and an unlined make are perfect for lightweight luxury and ease – they also show your sartorial know-how. Woven in fine Italian linen, the color and patterns are beautifully softened and pair perfectly with a lightweight wool trouser or a casual 5-pocket pant.”
