Gentlemen's Sartorial 27
8:56 PMWhite out! It's the color to sport for us, gentlemen. I know some of you are thinking, that's a bit difficult to do. I mean...it's white. Regardless the outfit, it's going to get dirty really quick. Not necessarily. Gentlemen, you must be wise when it comes to dawning a white outfit. Now, I'm not talking about putting on an all white jump suit or even all white semi-formal suit. It can be any article of clothing but making sure the white is the focus of the look.
Even with an all white suit, it is possible to go through the day without having to really dirty it. The thing is, it's summer. You are supposed to look relaxed, the intention is to actually have a few wrinkles. You have to think about where exactly you will be wearing the given outfit. Think about how likely you are going to expose that white to oncoming attack of dirt. Honestly, it's unavoidable but you can lessen the chances. Remember, wrinkling is alright and make it look like it has been worn in. Sprezzatura, make it look effortless. You also have to consider which other color should compliment the white. Wearing an all white suit with a light blue shirt and a darker shade of blue tie is a winner. I've gathered some in style and currently popular styles of white clothing and accessories (minus dress shirts for obvious reasons) for all of you to incorporate into your own looks. Remember, I'm not telling you to purchase these exact items! Take a look at the designs and or cut of each item so that you can sport something similar within your favored price range! The reason I keep with this constant reminder is that this blog is global. Different regions of the world have different access and paths to certain types of clothing.
