A LOOK OUTSIDE THE STRIPED LINES

​​THE CHANGE IN RULES​

In today’s world of men’s fashion, we have seen the change in rule of the matching belt and shoe to wearing stripes and pattern with vibrant colored suits. As a business casual type of guy, I like to keep it simple with solid collared shirts, but I’ve grown to add color by mixing patterns paired with my black suits. Inspired by the fine tailoring and apparel of Edo Popken, I was inspired to think outside the box and add some color and prints with this particular suit and tie combination.

​While wearing stripes does require a bigger or smaller pattern depending on the width of the shirt, a check shirt always requires a larger patter to avoid it becoming lost. Paired with this larger pattern orange checkered shirt and vibrant slim structured vertical stripe Azzuro slim tie, the smaller vertical lines in this tie were light enough to keep the focus on more of the tie vs. the pattern.  ​​

Shirt: Edo Popken Sunflow Check Limited Edition Dress Shirt

I’m all about keeping it business casual and I value a well-tailored shirt like this limited edition shirt by Edo Popken. Like most traditional business shirts that feature a pointed Kent Collar, the Edo Popken limited edition is a modern business shirt designed with a Spread Collar. Manufacturing only 111 limited shirts each season, this collection is created to be one of a kind mixed with the best of fine tailoring. ​

As a guy that always on the go, feeling comfortable and convenience are always a number one factor when it comes to picking out my wardrobe. With Edo's limited edition, I not only have something exclusive made to fit me, but his shirts are easy to transition from a business casual look to a formal business meeting. ​​
