THE DEVIL WEARS FERRAGAMO

Whether dominating in business or living your best life, THE CIRCLE magazine’s Editor-in-Chief shows how to elevate your wardrobe with sartorial appointments that stand out from the crowd.

s Editor-in-Chief of THE CIRCLE magazine, photoshoots are sometimes a perk of the job. Trying to escape the mundane with your own magazine style? I analyze the look from my interview with the CEO of Parmigiani Fleurier, and give my tips for a style that stands out in a sea of uniformity:

[1] Distinguish your look with sport jackets that give you the flexibility to mix and match. Add bold patterns to a suite that would otherwise overpower with a quality jacket – like this silk-wool blend Itallian fabric, double-breasted sport jacket, from Brooks Brothers. www.brooksbrothers.com

[2] Learn to tie a great knot. Whatever your style, nothing takes away from a fantastic suit like a sloppy tie. A perfect knot with a dimple, or without, shows that your look was not an accident. www.brooksbrothers.com

[3] Take every opportunity to add your own flourish. The pocket square is one flamboyancy afforded to men in the post-modern world. For the finest silk pocket squares and accessories for men, we recommend Stefano Ricci. www.stefanoricci.com

[4] Only the best will do for a statement piece. Add a shawl to a suit to command the room with a gentile touch – just make sure it fits the part. Silk or cashmere from Stefano Ricci is all we would put over a great suit. www.stefanoricci.com

[5] Nothing matters as much as what you put on your face. Like a watch or pen, your glasses or sunglasses speak volumes about you. For a timeless look, we chose the Traditionals rimless frames from Focusers.com. Ordered online, and delivered to your door, Focusers is a convenient way to change your look. www.focusers.com

[6] Put your best foot forward with exceptional footwear. If there is one piece of advice I would offer those just entering the sartorial world, it is this: Buy your clothes from a tailor and your shoes from a shoemaker. Shoes from a fashion house do not impress, and probably will not last. Our choice for ready to wear quality, comfort and style is a loafer or oxford from legendary Itallian shoemaking house, Salvatore Ferragamo. www.ferragamo.com
