Look of the Week: Urban Prep
Check back each week for a completely put-together look. No need to wonder what to wear, we've figured it out for you!
Urban Prep
Classic yet modern, the crisp white dress shirt works under a blazer with slacks or jeans, and with any suit.
Ted Baker sateen 'Herring' French cuff dress shirt
On days when you want to really impress, wear a silk, wide-knot tie with your button down. Like the Silver Lake tie from Belisi Fashions.
The Pant
For the business casual office or for the man who likes to look sharp any day of the week, a pair of flat front dark-colored pants never fail. Marc Jacobs' black twill 'August' striped pants dance the line of the "skinny" pant but are completely wearable by the average dude.
Nothing looks more sophisticated and of-the-moment like cuff links with your French cuff shirt and wide-knot necktie.
Dior Turntable Cufflinks
The Blazer
Marc Jacobs has your number this fall with a collection of tailored blazers.
The Sweater
For those cool fall days, slip on this sweater with slacks or jeans. We suggest the Marc Jacobs muted teal diamond wool hooded sweater.
The Jeans
Guys can wear denim anywhere these days but make sure yours are neat and devoid of holes if you wear them to the office . We suggest denim by Ted Baker.
The Belt
The urban prep look doesn't call for droopy drawers. Keep those pants where they're supposed to be with the Jeans Belt 45 by Louis Vuitton.
The Watch
Every man needs a watch, especially if you want to send the right message. This timepiece by Dior is just enough urban and just enough prep.
A good pair of shoes, like this pair from Kenneth Cole, takes you from work to play.
The Hat
Keep your head warm and look great at the same time. The D&G Wool Driver's Cap works with overcoats, blazers and sweaters.
The Sunglasses
The sun comes out in the fall. Don't get caught by the glare. We like Tom Ford's Hawkings Sunglasses.
The briefcase
Stay organized in style with the Lambertson Truex canvas 'Stanton' messenger bag.
