Men’s Clothing Guide: Bow Ties 101
BlogOne of the best things about bow ties is their variability with other men’s clothing. If you want to branch out from traditional necktie or if you want to try new color palates, shapes and patterns in your wardrobe, bow ties are right for you.
When choosing the right color and design for a bow tie, make sure to select other pieces in your wardrobe that will coordinate with it. A general rule for wearing any kind of tie with a shirt is to choose one patterned and the other solid. Contrast is key in men’s clothing.
Bow ties can vary in shape and size. When selecting this aspect of the tie, it comes down to individual preference and what clothes compliment the tie. Try on a few in the store with differing outfits to see which cut works for you.
The right bow tie can also add variety to men’s suits or blazers. Suits that have a jacket with slim lapels will work with a slim bow tie while suits with wider jacket lapels will work better with a bigger, more substantial bow tie. Remember the contrast rule when choosing a bow tie to go with a suit. Select a tie with a different texture than the suit’s jacket.
After you’ve chosen the right tie for you, wear it with confidence! Bow ties are a popular and current choice in the world of men’s fashion. Experiment with other styles and clothing options to add even more variety to your wardrobe.
Along with an already wide selection of fine men’s clothing in Memphis, Shelton Clothiers is the perfect store to find the right bow tie, fine men’s clothes, men’s suits and accessories.
Men’s Clothing Guide: Simplify Your Wardrobe
BlogIf your drawers and closets are overflowing with clothes, it may be time to rethink your wardrobe. Start by going through each piece. If you find something that you haven’t worn in months, that doesn’t fit, that’s stained and torn behind fixing or something that just doesn’t fit in with everything else – it’s time to reevaluate your clothes.
The next step in achieving a simple wardrobe is to identify clothes that match and work together. Find clothes that are of the same color scheme or clothes that are simple and can be paired with anything. In men’s clothes, comfort is a priority so find what fits well and keep it.
Apply the same techniques to your drawers and accessories. Look through shoes, ties, socks and everything else and find the things that never get worn. Fewer clothes and accessories always look better in your drawers.
If you don’t already have one, add a well-fitted, tailored suit to your wardrobe. A suit is a great addition as it is your go-to for formal and business occasions. Suits are a simple addition to wardrobe that can be worn for a number of purposes.
Make sure to continue to edit your wardrobe every few months. Don’t allow your clothes to get overly complicated again. If you make this a regular event, you can keep your wardrobe easy and simple.
And, if your in Downtown Memphis and are in the need of any accessories or clothes to complete your collection, Shelton Clothiers has a wide selection of everything you need for a stylish, simple wardrobe.
Men’s Clothing Guide: The Tie Bar
BlogA general rule to follow when wearing a tie bar is to place between the third and fourth buttons of your shirt, but you may wear it higher or lower depending on personal preference. The tie bar clips both ends of the tie to the placket of your shirt.
Like a good set of cufflinks, a tie bar is simple and tasteful, but has function. A tie bar can add that retro (think Mad Men) look to a suit with one simple application.
It’s important to make sure the tie bar is shorter in width than the tie itself. Wearing a tie bar that’s wider than the tie itself is not advised.
If you’re looking for an accessory that will compliment a tie and add an extra something to your clothes, a tie bar is right for you.
Shopping for a tie bar or men’s clothes in Downtown Memphis? Shelton Clothiers has a wide selection of men’s clothes, men’s suits and men’s accessories including ties and tie bars.
People in the Industry – Debi Greenberg
BlogHere, we speak with her about her new store on the harbor, why she hates chit chat, and what’s wrong with the menswear business.
How would you describe yourself to someone who doesn’t know you? When people first meet me, they understand immediately where I’m coming from. I am very direct when I speak my mind. Since my daughter was born 20 years ago “time” is/was this precious commodity, so I don’t like to waste it with chit chat. I love to engage people in talk as long as the exchange is lively and informative.
What is your personal style? Eclectic: I like design that is modern and forward thinking without too much fashion clutter. There has to be a balance in the way are put together: luxury juxtaposed with utilitarian. Click here to download the complete article.
Men’s Pants
BlogMen’s Pants
Men’s pants are a staple in any man’s wardrobe. Your
occupation and mind set will determine the type of pants that end up on you day
to day.
Most every man has a pair of jeans. Fit is the number one criteria for the jean.
It must fit in the waist hip and legs off the rack as they cannot be easily
tailored. Length, if done properly, can be adjusted. Careful not to buy a pair
that is too long as the stride and knee placement will be wrong.
Casual slacks are the most common category for most men.
They can be as simple as a 100% cotton khaki, a blend of different fabrics,
micro fiber or 100% wool. Again, the occupation, occasion, and personal taste
will determine your choice. Casual slacks if made properly can be tailored like
a dress pant so the fit can be adjusted off the rack. If the waist is just a
little off or the seat a little baggy, your tailor can make the right
adjustment.
Today’s blends and microfibers are nothing like the past.
Cool and easy care is the biggest advantage. Cut down on your dry cleaning bill
with some washable microfibers. They come right out of the dryer and you can
put them right on.
Dress and suit pants are generally for formal and work
situations. They are more delicate than
jeans or casual pants. Avoid wearing your nice suit pants to play golf or to a
ball game. You have invested too much in them to risk harming them. Dress pants
are also easily adjusted for fit. Working with the right store with a tailor
can save you a lot of time and effort in finding the right fit.
Personal style and body type will determine if you are a
flat front guy or a pleated guy. More and more men are mixing flat front pants
into their wardrobe. Once you have the right fit, they are great looking on.
