Creating Polished Fashion Getups That Are Fashionable and Functional

Creating dynamic menswear looks that are as fashionable as they are functional can be downright difficult. Suiting can be disagreeable and sweat pants are out of the question which leaves us the question: what’s the perfect casual and polished look? We think the answer comes down to some simple, well thought out components.
Dark tailored denim jeans are the perfect base piece to build off. Most everyone loves to wear denim and when they are coordinated correctly, they can look amazingly sharp and sophisticated. Next you need some leather brogues and a coordinating leather belt. We prefer brown over black because we like how brown leather ages and patinas with more wear and tear. The next thing you need is a pressed and patterned dress shirt and a tailored blazer. This core group of basics can look phenomenally refined and casual all pieced together and can be spruced up depending on the accessories you pick. For this dynamic ensemble above, we would recommend this Autumn Orange Necktie.
Or another casually polished accessory option could be a dark navy blue pocket square which you could neatly fold into the breast pocket.
The secret to fashionable and functional comes down to having a few polished components that go well together and an assortment of accessories to mix in and out. Skinny knit ties are a more casual approach to a style than say a satin finished silk tie. Also, bow ties are a savvy way to add some refinement to a dress shirt and blazer.
Another thing to take into account is a creative and collaborative color palette. We love this Autumn inspired combination of dark oranges, navy blues, browns and denims. The orange makes for a great accent color that makes the dark tones pop.
Get creative and have fun with this look!
