Q: What are the rules for wearing shorts to a chic-casual office?
A: There are two rules when it comes to getting away with wearing shorts at the office and still maintaining a professional appearance. The first is to keep your look tailored. That means the shorts should skim over your body and cargo shorts, jean shorts or anything baggy is out. The second rule is to eschew printed shorts (those are for vacation or golfing), favoring solid-colored shorts in quality fabrics like cotton and linen instead. These flat-front cotton twill shorts exemplify both of these rules.
Q: I read in your article on how to make the most of your face is to use fashion to complement your eyes. As someone with brown eyes, how would I do that?
A: The colors that will best complement your eyes are also dependent on your hair color. Without knowing what color your locks are, it’s safe to say that deep-forest greens and bright blues will make your brown eyes stand out. If you have an adventurous fashion sense, experiment with red and purple. Finally, avoid placing sandy colors like tan or beige near your face as they could wash you out.
Q: What’s the best way to create a V-shape in your upper half without having to wear a blazer? (It’s summer after all.)
A: Beat the heat, get the same tailored look as a blazer and create the V-shaped physique you desire by swapping out your heavy topper for a vest. To go further in building a V-shape using your clothing, pair a smart vest like this one with either a simple V-neck T-shirt or a dress shirt with a button or two undone. Bonus: A vest is a piece that will work around the clock for you in the summer as you can wear it to the office and then out for cocktails or on a date.
Q: When should you be wearing a "squarer" pocket square versus one that is fluffed up?
Folding your pocket square into a square will give your ensemble a cleaner, more streamlined look, which makes this shape appropriate for conservative offices and occasions for which a smart suit like this one is required. Fluffing up your pocket square, in contrast, will give your outfit a flashier edge so save those designs for an appearance at a hip nightclub rather than an appearance in court to battle a traffic ticket.
