Have you ever passed anybody on the street or maybe have a friend or a co-worker who likes to "mix it up" stylistically by wearing any sport coat they might have in their closet with a pair of jeans or chinos and just call it a day?

Now, this is not an uncommon option for many men but there are actually multiple ways for you to be able to add a unique spin to your outfit so that you can take on a variety of issues that might arise throughout your day. From item to item, it's important to keep fit consistent throughout your outfit. Having the correct proportions in terms of fit will help show you in your best light.

Now, I always like to look for seasonless pieces and these are options that work well until your capsule wardrobe. It's always helpful to know which items are key in your wardrobe for maximum versatility. Medium wash or dark wash denim, cotton chino pants, and neutral colors, solid or gently patterned suits in navy or dark gray, a year-round navy blazer in wool and great leather dress shoes in black or a dark brown.

Now, it's important to pay attention to the season in which you're preparing your outfit. This will help you determine which colors and also the materials you should be utilizing within your outfit. Now, using the list of key garment I mentioned before and also the color and pattern suggestions that are going to follow, you'll be able to add more uniqueness and a little bit of pizzazz to your outfit going forward.

Now when it comes to the season of spring, you want to look for colors that are light and have a light pastel tone to them. In summer, something brighter and much more vibrant. In autumn, earth tones always look fantastic and in the winter season, think of something dark and more subdued. Other than seasonality, consider that some colors are more advantageous for some men than others,depending on skin tone, hair color, eye color, and so on.

The popular pattern options would include stripes, windowpane, buffalo check, paisley, and Glen plaid.Keep in mind, there are also numerous other patterns to consider but patterns also have a different effect on different people depending on their build.

Remember, sticking with the neutral tones for a majority of your outfit and then having one to two accent colors will help everything else stand out. Now that you better understand color, let's talk about pattern, there's stripes, there's dots, there's paisley, what do we do?

Now perhaps you may have heard to never mix certain patterns together but now that you better understand color, let's go over some ways on how you can best mix these patterns. Here's an incorrect example, wearing a pinstripe dress shirt and a tie with a small plaid pattern. Now this is a poor choice because both patterns are small, linear, and actually are going to be fighting for attention. When there are too many things going on with your outfit, it is visually confusing to your viewer. A better idea will be to try to wear a solid tie with that pinstripe shirt. The reason this is a safer choice is because the patterned shirt is rounded by the solid tie.

How do we personalize this new outfit we're building?

Although it's good to know what rules to adhere to, when creating your new professional and casual outfit, we want to make sure that you don't feel like it's a uniform. Clothing is a form of expression and it's important to know when and where it's appropriate to be expressive. You would not want to show up to a dinner date wearing a t-shirt and long tube socks, you might think it's a great= idea but it's not really a great look and at this dinner date, it's not the best time to express yourself. Save these unique creative expressive items for maybe a different time. It's important to be prepared for anything when you step outside in your outfit, however, it's always great to see that unique ring, your favorite leather watch, our great Fort Belvedere pocket square to add some personality. The goal here is to add a few key pieces to help show you in your outfit without going overboard.

Dressing for multiple occasions is something that initially might require a bit more planning. Now once you've found your rhythm in your wardrobe, it'll feel like second nature.
