A charcoal gray is the best and easiest
sneaker color because it goes with
everything and it doesn’t match. Navy
blends into denim too much, light gray is
a bit too light, while white is bright and
very poppy. But dark gray always works.(4) ALEKS CVETKOVIC

Play with texture, not pattern. If
corporate pinstripes feel a little stiff
and bold checks a touch shouty,
softly textured jackets, shirts and
accessories are a timely alternative.
A flannel sport coat paired with a
matte wool tie and a washed oxford
button-down (like this Edward
Sexton combination) is infinitely more
sophisticated than menswear that
shouts to get attention.ALEXANDER-JULIAN GIBBSON
Stylist
Never take yourself, or your clothes,
too seriously. Even when I’m wearing
a tuxedo, I’ll trade the dress shirt for a
T-shirt or a silky button-down, and treat
it all like any other outfit.DAVID COGGINS

A strategic baseball hat can be worn
rarely and unexpectedly, such as at the
Masters. When sports are involved,
don’t fear the baseball hat—but leave it
behind the rest of the time.OLIE ARNOLD

Opt for a chunkier commando or crepe
sole the next time you buy a pair of
classic shoes, like derbies or penny
loafers. If they’re cut from a leather in
a versatile color, like brown, black or
burgundy, you’ll get double the wear—
they work well on and off duty.IGEE OKAFOR

Make loafers your friend because the
best styles can be dressed up or dressed
down. Penny loafers take a suit fromday to night, but pair a tasseled loafer
with any ensemble and you’re
guaranteed an easy upgrade. It works
as well with your classic crewneck
sweater, shirt and trousers as it does
with a pair of dark jeans and a T-shirt.(5) ANDREAS WEINÅS
Editor, King magazine
I always try to wear at least one solid
garment and a patterned one in my
outfits. Having too many patterns,
especially around the face and torso
(jacket, shirt and tie), can become
quite overwhelming. At the same time,
a look concocted without a single
pattern or differences in texture can
feel a bit dull.3.4.5.G2Gb_Aug_GDS_Advice.indd 55 7/3/19 6:28 PMJOSHPESKOWITZ:CRISFRAGKOU
