Each year around this time, I realize that a lot of people I know have a love-hate relationship with the Holidays. We feel like we have just finished summer and enjoyed the first chill days of fall, and suddenly, it is Thanksgiving, and we are trying to quickly get ourselves organized before the end of […]

Our Trademark, A Suit That Fits ®
I think a man wearing a good suit is truly wonderful. Tom Ford describes his personal attire as a form of respect for people around him and shows up as the very best version of himself. It is truly admirable, and a man who takes care of his appearance, no matter at what level, deserves […]
A Color Through The Ages
A few days ago, I began wondering why Navy Blue continues to be a preferred color not only with our clients but also within the menswear market. Particularly when compared to black, it outperforms across our many categories from pants to suits and outerwear. Personally, too I find it a constant go-to for every occasion […]
Fall Sweeps In
September has begun, and this month, fall sweeps down upon us unavoidably, with reminders at our local shopping markets and coffee shops, with pots of Mums, pumpkin spice, and Halloween décor eagerly displayed in the premium pick-up spots. Over the last holiday weekend, I traveled to my home here in Connecticut, the place that […]

Highlighting Stylist Skills
It’s kind of funny how social media is not only listening but seemingly reading our thoughts.

The Wedding Invite Dilemma
I am often asked about wedding attire, which, for guys, can be a worrying task, taking them out of their comfort zone and comfortable clothes. Attending a wedding as a guest and your role depends on your relationship to the happy couple and usually your invite will be clear about which part of the day […]

For the Love of Tailoring
This week, I heard of the passing of Martin Greenfield, who, out of a workshop in Greenpoint across the east river of New York, worked as a tailor for the last 70 years. I credit Mr. Greenfield for establishing the look of American tailoring, and I was lucky enough to work with him on a […]
Kicking off Winter
Earlier this week we transmitted our kick-off meeting live from the Dallas Stylist Studio at Inwood Village. The team and I were able to show the updates to the studio, present the new winter swatches in detail, and get some selling tips on how to combine them back to fall pieces. From a product POV, we started […]
