Do Men Hate Getting Gussied Up?

November 8th, 2010

Read an interesting article this week that asked the question, ‘do men hate getting dressed up?’.  The author argued that men don’t hate getting dressed up… look at fans of sports teams and golfers.  They are more than happy to wear creative items and dress the part.

The problem lies in most men dressing up for work or routine activities that lock them into a certain uniform and they just repeat.  While this may be fine, there are opportunities to spruce up a boring outfit with some minor adjustments and a little attention. 

A section that caught our eye was something we have been preaching for years, ‘ In menswear trends, suits are becoming slimmer in cut. A new suit can be bought, but an old suit can also easily be brought up to date by visiting the tailor.’  Amen. Or you can buy a suit tailored to your body.

The article also talks about shoe trends and trousers.  Several good tips to spruce things up.

A client of ours got married last year and was recently featured on photographer JP Beato’s Blog.  Most of the guys in the photos are wearing custom black suits, vests and custom shirts tailored by DJones Collection.  They look pretty amazing (if we do say so ourselves) and we love the pocket squares!

James Bond

October 21st, 2010

The other day I was asking one of our newest clients why he decided to order a tux from us. 

“Simple” he said, “I want to feel like James Bond".”

Until a person feels the power of a tux that fits exactly right and makes them look like James Bond… well, they’ve never felt like this.

Ties, Ties, Ties

October 16th, 2010

Since we are launching our new line of ties this week, we have ties on the brain.  Casual observations around the country is showing that men are wearing more and more ties.  Not sure what the exact reasons are, but we are very happy about it. 

 

Of course, most commonly we see men wearing ties with suits or business/formal wear, but more and more people are getting creative with ties.  Jeans, a dress shirt and a tie is becoming a trendy look for going out.  Throwing on a vest just makes the look that much classier. 

Ties are a great way to express yourself.  While it is ok to be a little different in suit styles and fabrics, typically the classics look good and are a safe bet for most men.  This leaves your room to wear a beautiful, but eye-catching tie to bring the look together.  Have fun!
