- The Sophisticated Man

One of the most appealing looks for men are those that exude sophistication. Having sophisticated pieces is an important part of any man's wardrobe. Sophisticated fashion comes from classic and timeless pieces.

The Suit

A sophisticated suit is essential in a man’s wardrobe. There are many suit options out there but no matter the style, the most important factor is that it fits the individual impeccably. Get suits tailored to ensure the fit is appropriate. Dark colors show refinement, sophistication and power and a wool suit with broad shoulders and one or two buttons will keep the look modern. Opt for rich, dark colors to create the most sophisticated effect.

Casual Sophistication

Getting that sophisticated look does not mean one has to dress in a three piece suit (although this is a great look!). Incorporate tailored pieces, such as a black blazer into everyday looks. Dark jeans are great with a dress shirt or sweater, a blazer and a great pair of shoes.

Details

Narrow ties will give a sophisticated look a fashion forward twist. A high quality belt, polished shoes and a timeless watch are classics that make every outfit appear more put together and stylish. For the more daring man, cufflinks or a sleek metal bracelet are fashionably sophisticated and add instant edge.

- Summer Shades

Sunglasses are a man’s key accessory for summer. They not only protect your eyes but can give any t-shirt just the right attitude. We’ve chose styles from three of our favorite designers that build off this season’s hottest trends. Keep in mind that shades are not one style fits all so look for modified versions that work for your face. We know you'll love these styles, but don't be shocked by the price tag. A great pair of shades will pay for themselves in the perfect combination of function and fashion.
