How To Wear A Mens Vest

D&G Spring/Summer 2010

• A vest must cover the waistband. No belt buckle should show. This adds girth (the appearance of weight) and directs the eye straight to the waist.
• The bottom button is meant to be left undone.
• If there's an X across the middle when buttoned, the vest is too tight.
• Yes, you can wear a vest with t-shirt. Leave it unbuttoned and wear it a size or two larger.
• Add some flair to the plain short sleeve button up with a vest and skinny tie.
• Avoid the white and black combo.

Power Dressing

First popularized in the 1980s, power dressing refers to an effort by the wearer to convey a sense of dominance, confidence and professionalism through his style of dress and hair. During the greed decade, power dressing was characterized by boxy suits with significant shoulder padding, double-breasted suits, dress shirts, briefcases, and silk ties. The overall palette of this wardrobe was dark, although power dressers understood exactly how to use bold, colorful accents, such as a red tie paired with red socks to heighten the impression they left on others.

Recently, following the slight upturn in the economy, designers have brought power dressing back, minus the ‘80s edge. Here's how to pull off power dressing in 2010.

Power Dressing
	Mr. Hare Miller Scotch Grain Basic black leather shoes is a must for any power dresser. With their soft scotch-grain leather construction and a high-shine toe cap, these slim shoes from Mr. Hare are a fine example of the simple, luxurious style you're aiming for. As you would expect from shoes handcrafted in Tuscany, these come with a hefty price tag, but it’s worth it if you plan on power dressing with any regularity. Pair them with dress socks in a bold color (say, a deep purple), matching your pocket square or tie to your socks. Price: $662 Where to buy: See Mrhare.co.uk for the nearest location
	Brooks Brothers Fitzgerald Fine Stripe 1818 Suit The cornerstone of power dressing is, of course, the suit. But not just any suit. By definition, a power suit should put all the other suits in your wardrobe to shame. It's the suit that commands respect and makes you look -- and feel -- like a million bucks. It should also be one of the finest suits you own, so prepare to save up for it and then splurge when you find the right one. Brooks Brothers’ Fitzgerald pinstripe suit is a shining example of a modern-day power suit. Narrow lapels, higher armholes, a two-button closure, slim-fitting flat-front trousers, impeccable Italian tailoring, and a flattering drape all combine to give the wearer a lean, elegant look. Price: $998 Where to buy: BrooksBrothers.com
