Landing the perfect look for the Grammy Awards may be over-whelming for executives who are expecting to be photographed but aren’t aiming to steal the spotlight. Enter Harry Lambert, style con-
sigliere to Harry Styles, and Kat Typ-London and New York nooks, the two offer tips to industry insiders looking to shake things up.aldos, style collaborator of Rogers. From their respective Maggie “Colorblocking. It’s all about mixing it up, and everything is a bit retro. The fits are a bit ’70s, big lapels. I’m predicting big ties and waistcoats, but color is really the freshest way to update your suit.” “A lot of the young designers have politi-cized messages and work ethically and locally. I would love to see Collina Strada, Christopher John Rogers, Grace Wales Bonner or Simone Rocha on the carpet.”LOOSEN UP“In terms of tailor-ing, I really like a loose fit trouser. I don’t find a super-skinny leg to be
flattering to any-one; it can distort the silhouette of the suit. It's all about a slightly wider leg, a bit more of a drape.
If you’re comfort-able in a dark suit, a looser, high-waisted trouser takes the look out of business and
into something a bit more creative and fun.”NIX THE CRISP SHIRT“When dressing up, I always advise against wearing shirts that are too
stiff. They look uncomfortable and don’t photograph very well —a crêpe de Chine or a cotton-silk blend. go for
A lot of shops these days offer so many different colors. Brands like Gucci, Givenchy —have simple shirts they
but in great fabrics that can modernize any suit.”GIVE OXFORDS THE BOOT“On a red carpet, I never tend to do an Oxford shoe. There’s something
about a lace-up shoe that, for me, always takes it into that world of business. A boot looks clean with a
suit, and one with a slight heel can elongate your legs. The Grammys are quite a fun and experimental place,
so you can push it a little bit more, be a bit more risky.”SUIT YOURSELF“There’s something to be said for [dark] suiting. Erring on the casual side and pumping it up with
your swagger, that to me feels really cool. Playing with a really beauti-ful silhouette and adding a pop of
color through a shoe, jewelry or makeup is an easy, sleek way to go. People wear-ing gowns [on a
carpet like this] is something that I’ve never understood.”DON’T BREAK THE BANK“Luxury fashion is expensive, and you don’t need to spend money to feel amaz-
ing. I love Resurrec-tion Vintage in Los Angeles and New York. There are also great brands like Helmut Lang or Tibi
that are at a reason-able price point. For example, a blazer by them can be worn with your favorite jeans and a beautiful
heel from the red carpet to a meeting the next day.”SPORT A STATEMSNEAKER“The red is meant for experimentation, carpet ENT
especially at the Grammys. It should be fun. You can customize a sneak-er with Swarovski crystals, opt for a
Dior sneaker, or go classic. There’s an image of Kate Moss and Mario Sorrenti both wearing suits and Stan Smiths
