Forget the suit and reach for a leather jacket as the key item.
Here are a few rules:
1.Jacket
Make sure the jacket is plain clean black or brown NO compromises here the jacket must be snuggle your body, fitted and must reach the waistline.
2.Shirt
Get a fitted shirt in white.
3.Pants
Then go for flat fronted pants in black or a pair of khaki chinos or even dark grey pants. Whatever pants you choose make sure they are narrow leg and reach your ankle.
4.Shoes
Let us discuss shoes because these can disable the whole look, now to be safe wear dark socks and patent leather lace ups. If you are the brave and bold enough, then go sockless and go for suede slip on's in a camel, brown or black or get the brightest color you can find. Loafers and moccassins can also do wonders for your outfit. Stores such as Fabiani and Woolworths have plenty of style and colours(Check out our previous post on loafers for a proper breakdown)
5.Accesorize(bow tie, belts, watches, scarves n etc )
You can add a bow tie in a funky tone that will compliment the whole look. Ensure that the accesories coordinate with the shoes or be safe and go for a leather or silk skinny tie. The choice is yours if you want to wear a belt or not I say leave the belt at home. Because it's winter, u can more flair to your look with a scarf paired up with leather gloves.
These are just guidelines have fun and make the look yours you can substitute the white shirt for a denim shirt. Just make sure you get the basics right and the colors coordinate.
