Jazzed up
business casual
Any single breasted 2 or 3 button notched lapel
striped, solid, glen plaid, Donegal or Prince of Wales check etc. with
a French cuffed button down dress shirt and no tie will work well for
"jazzed" up business casual, finding a French cuffed button down might
be a little difficult and a sartorial contradiction but I think the
button downs look better without a tie versus a straight collar; you
can always have the French cuff button down custom made. Solid colored
dress shirts in French Blue, Pink, or Yellow (if these colors are right
for you) will bring a less dressed up look as well. Button downs just
look better sans tie, especially with blazers or a sport coat; with
suits however, either button down for colored shirts or straight collar
for white dress shirts. . .
- winter coloring: bright white
- autumn coloring: oyster, ecru, and egg shell
- spring coloring: ivory
- summer coloring: soft muted white
will work without the tie for a more casual look
(collar should be narrow or medium spread, no wide or modified spreads,
they just don't look right without a tie). An angle cut 1 or 2 button
cuff or a link cuff would work well too versus the French cuff. Mix it
up however you wish for suits sans tie.
- An icy pink sea-island cotton button down French cuff
shirt with a cashmere mink dark navy chalk stripe 2 button single
breasted peak or notched lapel with a little sheen will look casually
elegant indeed. Peak lapel is dressier, and very classy.
- The
fact that you're not wearing a tie means casual. . .there's no reason
not to be well tailored. I hate to say it but "rumpled" never sends a
good message in business, but be sure to complete YOUR look with
"grace" and a good measure of humility when others around you are not
so educated in matters sartorial.
- A medium blue (striped
or solid) sea island cotton button down French cuff with a Royal blue
Prince of Wales check or Scottish check in single breasted 2 button 8oz
100% wool suit, well tailored of course.
- A Cream Colored
Mongolian cashmere zip-neck Sorrento cable sweater, a must have. Wear
it with a shirt and tie or over your favorite collared or crew neck
shirt and a pair of warm brown vicuna wool trousers.
- Another
top pick for casual elegance, are modern mini-cable polos 70% silk/30%
cotton. A perfect pick to top off your tailored casual trousers paired
with a favorite blazer (always with a blazer in business).
- A
Shiny black leather blazer with a bright white sea island cotton French
cuffed button down with flashy cufflinks and a pair of custom made
indigo blue jeans with cowboy boots OR pair it with black pinstriped
trousers and a icy grey crew or mock turtleneck (CASHMERE) worn over a
white french cuffed shirt (or not) and a trendy pair of ferragamo's
will knock everyone's socks off if you want to go "dramatic" casual one
day.
