Bespoke: made to fit a particular person; also : producing clothes that
are made to fit a particular person
Men, are you looking for that je'nais qui when it comes to
dressing? Maybe a clothing company that
has ninjas to help you out? Tired of
listening to people complain about your style (or lack thereof)? Or you want to
take your style to the next level? Maybe
you are wondering what bespoke clothing is?
Allow me to introduce you to Bonobos.
A singular destination for all things considered stylish and innovative
with some fun thrown in.
Founded in 2007 for men that want awesome clothing without
the hassle of shopping for mass produced styles, you can either shop online or go to your local
Nordstrom's to check them out. But here
is where it gets good fellas, they offer guideshops you can PHYSICALLY go
to help you find the right fit and style and be done.
(Guess who is taking her boyfriend in to one...) And lets face it, women
love a man that has on great fitting clothes (its our version of lingerie). Think I'm wrong? Ask any woman you know about how attractive a
well dressed (and groomed) man is....drool........
But lets talk about the Bonobos spring line. Spring seems to be struggling to make itself know here on
the east coast.....but Bonobos can fix that right up for you. I mean polar vortexes and below 65 for over 3
months? So just in time for spring, they
have launched a new collection of men's seersucker and cotton suits, which is a great-fitting and a lightweight BREATHABLE fabric just right for summer weddings, garden parties and mint juleps! They even offer shirts in chambray, floral,
stripes and classic white button downs in lightweight summer fabrics. (And I'm crushing on the Newport Poplin shirt myself.....) Pair the shirt with a seersucker suit or with
some chinos for that classic American look.
Why not even scoop up some travel jeans for when you are jet setting
around the globe? They even have non
iron pants!!! Like how much easier can it get?
Got a wedding?
Bonobos will custom fit you for that big day, and think of it as an
investment piece. You can always use
well fitted slacks and a blazer right? Right. Plus
buying off the rack is just so....last season guys. Time to step up the game and given by my IG
feed men are really looking to break out of the basics mold.
If your still unsure about fit, styling, or like the site
says a good chili recipe, hit up the ninjas for some deets. But here are some pointers to think about
when it comes to fit from VP of Design, Dwight Fenton
“Fit is the most
important detail for a suit. Marry that with classic color options and quality
fabric, and you have a great looking, versatile suit for every occasion"
Fenton’s simple suit
tips to find the right fit:
• Fit starts with the
shoulders: The jacket should grab your shoulders snugly but not be overly
tight. If the shoulders fit, pretty much anything else can be adjusted.
• Length matters: To
determine the appropriate length, you should be able to cup the bottom of
the suit with your arms by your side.
• Show some shirt: A
flexible but general rule of thumb is to have a quarter-inch of your shirt cuff
showing. If you’re wearing a heavier cuff, like a French cuff, you may want to
show a little more.
I know so often I see men in terrible fitting clothes and
all I can think about is Stacy and Clintons advice from What Not to Wear,
invest in tailoring. So guys take a
moment and really invest in some basic wardrobe staples that FIT THE RIGHT WAY
guys, and trust when I say it will pay off.
Like I say, style is saying who you are without speaking, so what do you
want to say to the world?
