STYLE GURU STYLE: The Essentials

One of my favorite things about the world of fashion is that no matter where trends go, the classics and the essentials will always be relevant. My favorite thing about the 2015 Michael Kors show is that they did a fantastic job of making beautifully fit clothing for men with a primary focus on what most would consider an essential in every guy’s closet. A few of the sweaters, double-breasted suit jackets and parkas are what really stuck out to me in this show. These are elements of fashion that will always be around, however sticking with the recent trend of a very slim fit, these pieces make for a fit in a modern fashion world.

My outfit today was inspired by both the color schemes apparent in the show, and in a few of the different fits shown. I like minimalistic colors; however ,rarely do I find myself in an outfit that consists of all-black or all-gray clothing. I made the exception this morning. I had a presentation to gave during the day so the outfit remained mostly formal. I chose a pair of charcoal Italian wool suit pants, my favorite pair of Chelsea boots and a black overcoat to tie it together. Keeping the color scheme in mind, I chose articles of clothing that erred on the slimmer side to stay in context to the inspiration I received from the show.

Get My Look: 1. Find a pair of slim fit suiting pants or jeans that you like. 2. Pick out a versatile overcoat. 3. Look for a pair of boots that can sustain the winter conditions.
