There IS a Way to Fold Your Suit

To pack your suit jacket, turn it inside out with the sleeves on the inside. The inner lining, now on the outside, will protect it from wrinkles. Fold the jacket in on itself along the center of its back, then once more, until you've folded it into quarters. Lay the suit at the bottom of the suitcase at full width. This will ensure that, with other items on top of it, it won't move around and crease. It works!

Taking a Trip? Want to Make the Most of Your Suitcase Space?

For Medium-Sized Bags, roll underwear and t-shirts into tight rolls. Use a slim and shallow Dopp kit. Remember to pack travel sized items (not full-sized toiletries). Wear your heavy shoes and pack the lighter ones on the bottom of the bag.

Bold color is perfect in a dress shirt. Chalky colors are so popular today and really look fantastic. We see it in the magazines and on the runways, but understand that many guys are not ready for solid hot pink shirts. A great alternative is to wear bright stripes - like the ones we have by Bugatchi. They're perfect with your new pale gray suit OR your black one. Striped shirts are sensational and look great with solid ties, striped ties, or ties with patterns including paisleys that accentuate (not argue with) the stripes in the shirt. Come in and let our experts help you put together the perfect look for your occasion. That's what we're here for!

50 Shades of Grey?

Sure, there are 50 shades of grey, but which one should we wear for Spring? Our advice is to choose the palest one. During the Fall and Winter seasons, gray suits should fall on the darker side of the spectrum, but once the weather warms up, pale gray is just "cooler" in every sense of the word. Look to S. Cohen for some phenomenal suggestions.

It's All About the Tie!

This Spring is about keeping it simple. You can bring your look to life with one piece, your tie! Instead of mixing busy patterns, try wearing a solid suit with a solid shirt. Then choose a print tie that will bring it to life! Simple. Easy. Sophisticated. Fresh!
