Fashion Tips & Trends

Dress Suitings and Retail Eveningwear We are reporting to you on the latest couture fashions and trends directly from Europe, the fashion capital of the world. Our fashion insights can also be seen in print in the New York Times Special Fashion and Bridal Sections featured throughout the year.

Corporate casual is starting to recede as the business climate is becoming more competitive and the dress code is becoming more serious. The popular colors in suitings are dark blue, black, charcoal gray, and the introduction of chocolate brown. Pinstripes are the dominant pattern in fabrics, with window pain and glen plaids following closely behind. Under the pinstripes category falls chalk, cable, and a herringbone tone-on-tone pattern. Single Breasted Suitings, Sportcoats, and Formalwear designs in a One Button and Two Button are the latest fashion trends. For the ultimate fashion statement, the Double Breasted Garment is back and is the leading choice for the sartorial savvy gentlemen. Men are trading up to better levels of quality and more luxurious fabrics. They see the value and benefits to Made To Measure Clothing and are embracing the process.

The return to formal dress has become an obsession with men whether they are going down the isle, going to a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, or hosting an Awards Debut. Men are taking a tremendous interest in selecting and coordinating their attire based on the event itself or with their significant other.

This Season has given men a vast selection of tone-on-tone tuxedos, patterned vests, exotic evening ties, and elegant footwear. The Single Breasted One Button Tuxedo is the leading fashion style this Fall and Spring. The classic peak lapel appeals to gentlemen who want a more classic and sophisticated look. Double Breasted Peak and Shawl Models are becoming popular once again along with the return of the Winter White On White Dinner Jacket.

For a more casual formal look, we recommend the lay down collar shirt in a fly front twill fabric design, with a coordinating long tie tied with a double windsor knot. The popularity of the evening tie has had the same fashion impact of the banded collar shirt. The only similarity between the two has been the psychological comfort factor amongst men.

The distinct properties of the evening tie as a great fashion item enables the wearer to have a very dramatic look and truly set him apart from the maitre de at an affair. One can choose many varieties of the tie such as hand pleatings, lurex detailing, and seven-fold construction. It has truly become the fashion icon for formalwear.

If you are hosting a special event, getting married or just want the very latest look in evening neckwear, we suggest wearing a dinner tie. Our couture ties are handsomely appointed featuring hand pleatings, woven fabrics, and sateen finishes. It can be accompanied with either a wing or lay down collar shirt. Please note that the wing collar is preferred for those opting for a more formal look. To complete this very updated ensemble, we also recommend a complementing vest in either a similar color palette or texture.
