Mens Ready Made Outfit: Crisp Corduroy

There’s nothing quite like crisp pinwale corduroy for a crisp cool day.  In blazer form, corduroy can take you to work (in business casual environments) and out on a date. Here’s how to wear a corduroy blazer:

1.  Start with the basics: a comfy henley shirt and a pair of light khaki pants.  You may also want to layer a crewneck tee under the henley shirt.
2.  Toss on a slim cut corduroy blazer.  Make sure that the blazer features a narrow cut; the trim fit and narrow lapels are slimming.  In this outfit, notice how the deep navy blue blazer makes the white pants visually pop.
3.  Accessorize with a bright blue scarf and a pair of rich brown shoes that echo the brown belt.  For colder temperatures, switch out the lightweight scarf for something warmer, such as a cashmere knit.

Ichi Crop Swing Trench Coat

We may have to wait for Spring, but we don’t have to wait to find the perfect Spring trench. This fetching style features tabbed sleeves and a flattering a-line silhouette. We love it paired with a crisp patterned shirt.
