A chocolate plaid sports coat
with suede elbow patches is
a versatile piece. The jacket
works well with dress pants,
chinos and dark denim jeans.
What does style mean to you?
How do you describe your style?
Style is wearing clothes and accessories
that make one feel truly happy, comfortable
and confident. I try not to take myself
too seriously when it comes to style. I
think I can sometimes be slow to change
but I don’t stress about keeping up with
the absolute latest and greatest trend. I
enjoy paying attention to details such as
socks, pocket squares and cufflinks. I enjoy
searching out unique accessories that
reflect my style. For example, I love a pair
of cufflinks I own where each cufflink is
a miniature version of the inner workings
of a watch. I found these to be particularly
unique, and they are representative of my
keen interest in watches.
Classic and timeless. I believe style is a
personal interpretation of yourself, and
for me that’s a businessman and a devoted
husband and father. I remember having my
first double-breasted suit made when the
trend was a three-button suit. The initial
response from others was rather unique!
It turns out a few years later the doublebreasted suit was back in style, but for me
it is a timeless classic. I truly believe in
quality over quantity, so I prefer to seek out
textures and colours that reflect my style.
As I mentioned earlier, I don’t take myself
too seriously on this. I just like to have fun
with it.
