Mens Fashion: Stepping Out in Style For Any Occasion By Hendrik Pohl At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Do you find yourself always trying to melt into the shadows at most social events because you feel hopelessly under-dressed or overdressed for the occasion? Do you have a right royal nightmare trying to fit the outfit to the occasion and always end up getting it wrong somehow? What’s worse, most times you don’t even feel like the real you in the outfit you’ve chosen.

If you dream of stepping out in style and being the center of attraction because of your natty attire, then this article is just right for you. Before we get started with the details on the how, what and where on different types of jackets, here is a simple yet stunningly effective tip on how to step out in style anytime and every time.

Making A Style Statement

Your reflection in the mirror may tell you, you are doing something wrong but it does not tell you how to do it right. The best way to explore the fashion scene and find something that suits you to a Tee...er Jacket is to thumb through the latest men’s fashion magazines. There are several to choose from including Men’s Style and GQ to name just two. This will tell you a lot about how to choose the right style not only for the right occasion but also how to choose a style that suits your body shape and your personality.

Whatever style you choose to go with, remember the key to standing out in a crowd and making a style statement is to make the style your very own and wear it with an air of confidence.

Blazers 101

Blazers are semi-formal jackets that are bought separately from the trousers. They are available in a wide choice of patterned or non-patterned fabrics and can be single or double breasted. Blazers are versatile and can be worn to adhere to a wide range of dress codes ranging from casual wear to business attire. While a casual blazer will look very smart when teamed with a pair of jeans, a classic blazer with impressive buttons will make heads turn at any formal function when worn over a pair of dressy trousers.

What About Sport Coats?

The casual, sporty look of sports coats are more suited to a night out in town rather than the workplace or a formal do. Sports coats vary widely in their cuts and colors as well as the fabric that is used. If you can carry your clothes with panache, you could make a daring style statement with a trendy sport coat in purple sateen. However, if you have a more staid personality you may want to stick to beige-brown linen sports coat. Sports coats are typically worn with tapered dress shirts and designer jeans. Irrespective of the style of sports coat you are wearing, a pair of leather loafers will instantly give you a dressier look whereas a pair of sneakers will impart a sportier look.

Classic Suit Jackets

Unlike blazers and sports coats, the suit jacket is not a stand alone jacket. It typically comes in a set with matching pants that have been made from the same fabric. Suit jackets are more conservative in form and function and are usually available in sober, classic colors including ash grey, dark tan or navy blue. While you do find suit jackets with patterned fabrics, the patterns will be subdued and usually limited to fine pinstriped, herringbone or windowpane.

For a real classy look, a suit jacket should be teamed exclusively with its matching trousers in addition to a dress shirt in a complementary color and smart leather or patent leather shoes. Other accessories that complete the look are a pair of cufflinks, a necktie and a belt. This attire goes well for any formal occasion and for business functions as well.
