THE ARTS OF TAILORED SUITS-THE ELEGANCE OF A PERFECT GENTLEMAN

Kofi Twumasi

The Elegance of a perfect gentleman is grooming himself with an attire that speaks confidence and boldness about himself. This mission is accomplished by wearing a suit which has been a staple for the workingman's wardrobe.

The versatile attire fits occasions from classy dinners with loved ones to forlorn appearance in the third district court of appeals.The real beauty of a suit is its simplicity and adding a couple quick details to adorn the outfit. You must always remember that you must dress to impress and the idea in being a gentleman is to learn that SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE. This feature will breakdown the piecing of a suit, the different unique looks to pull of with a suit, the necessary accessories to make the look more interesting, the variations of the different colors, the right fit which gives the right edge, and how to wear them with Simplicity, Elegance, and Originality.

EVERYDAY STYLE AND CREATIVITY: KEEP IT SIMPLE, JUST ADD PRESSURE.

The "Everyday" Guy dresses in a way comfortable for the season, therefore you have to showcase something different that corresponds with the weather but leaves you distinguished. In a sense the apparel makes the man. Shakespeare says so. During this winter, set your style. Put the Donegal blazer under that warm, cotton, vintage sweater, with gloves replacing handkerchiefs. Fitted trousers is a must. Over-sized clothing is not stylish, but the epitome of Failure. Try experimenting on something new.Wear corduroys or knitted pants instead of jeans. Throw on an ascot with a pair of boots( John Varvatos / Urban outfitters) or loafers. Be color savvy.After all we still dress to impress. It's not about how much you spend, its what you buy and how you put it together. KEEP IT SIMPLE BUT ELEGANT, but APPLY PRESSURE!

What makes a person Fashionable

Style is described in many categories it could be in design, fashion, your character or your physical appearance as a human. But to me style is a distinctive manner of expression, a distinctive manner or custom of behaving or conducting oneself, or a particular manner or technique by which something is done, created, or performed.

Fashion is all about inspiring and being inspired. If you find yourself inspired, and then you find unique, flattering, risky pieces that exemplify it, that is fashion. You're creating something. The pairing of a shirt, a belt, and a pair of shoes is not trivial compared to an artist's pairing of colors or a poet's pairing of words. Buying expensive clothing doesn't make you "fly" or fashionable, but the way you arrange your clothes match them and put them together is what makes you fashionable in my opinion. And I am also a strong believer in what fashion does, because i think fashion creates confidence.

Tips of the Day

In a world mostly filled with people that do not know their identity, many teenagers wake up with the personal challenge of finding themselves. Such a challenge is solved through the understanding of one's origin, present time, and understanding of the individual. However confidence in self identity is also expressed through clothing or the lack thereof. Therefore to make that challenge of yours more bearable, I will be providing a simple tip every week on how to take a snapshot of fashion from different angles. How to mix the dressy with the casual, the preppy with the urban, and heck even how to make a v-neck elegant. Not expressed in rich nor gaudy, the apparel oft tells the man. Just because u wear clothing from a fashionable designer doesn't mean you have style. SBE is here to show you that less can actually equal more.
