The latest entry of Charm Her (the men's installment to this blog) was inspired by one of my favorite street style photographers, Tommy Ton. I came up with a few pointers thanks to his latest action-packed snaps.
Style Tips:
- DO wear knit or printed scarves to liven up your suits + blazers (Calling all straight men: this is a green light to amp up your style—bold is not bad in this case. Girls are suckers for cute polka dots, swear!) However, if you tend to shy away from prints—and are not open to change: opt for a neutral scarf tucked under your blazer.
Hey Kanye: what's that jacket, Margiela?
- Layer outwears + parka/utilitarian coats over suits for extra chilly days— that is, unless you live in L.A.
- Give your suit a luxe finish by adding gloves—although this may work best if you're already style-conscious. gloves = red light if you currently have no idea about dressing.
- Knitted beanies are great toppers to keep warm and hide a bad hair day (you didn't think we noticed those, aye?)
- Cigarettes are not-so-stylish outside a a photograph. Skip it.
- File under Things to remember when out with your significant other: your (stylish) girl/guy is the focal point to your outfit, and you are their best accessory. Hold hands and charm each other :)
