Owning a bomber jacket is no ‘bomber’ with a range of colors, styles and fabrics to choose from. It is comfy and looks awesome at the same time. Looking for the perfect transitional jacket to wear from spring to summer and fall to winter? And not all men like wearing long coats? The possibilities are just infinite with this outfit!

Leather Outfits Can Take You To Retro ’80s
#ThrowbackThursdays
The 70’s and 80’s fashion incorporated more leather into men’s style. You can put on leather jackets, leather gloves, leather shoes, leather pants, etc to flaunt off a sophisticated and edgy look. It’s truly cool and sexy, and virtually gets better with age. The breathable material that is leather is just the perfect thing for any season. Anything leather is worth every penny, so don’t sleep on it!

ACCESSORIES FOR THE SUMMER SUIT – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Dress With Confidence To Clear Your Job Interview
#MotivationalMondays
“Clothes don’t make a man, but clothes have got many a man a good job.” – Herbert Harold Vreeland
The hiring and recruitment season is on. Companies around the world are on a rat race to identify the best talents for the future. For a strikingly cool executive casual look for interview, I recommend brightly colored or patterned shirts paired with sports coats & jackets and dressy slacks. Accessorize the ensemble with tie and loafers or monk-strapped shoes.
ACCESSORIES FOR THE SUMMER SUIT – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
“The difference between a well-dressed man and an average man is in the details.” And needless to say, the devil is in the details. With this in mind, I will try to present the details (read as accessories) for a suit in this blog. Suit accessories, simply put, are all the items required to accessorize the suit. Functionally, these accessories, including tie, bow ties, pocket squares in addition to tie clips (or tie bars) and cufflinks, offer a complete look to the suit. I am ditching watches and bracelets without classifying them as suit accessories here.
Tie (or a Necktie):
Name the most commonly used accessory in men suits, and neckties easily make the cut. Ask yourself: what is a suit without a tie? The trick lies in playing with different colours, patterns and materials to make the outfit seemingly interesting. Bear in mind etiquettes and the event in mind when selecting the colour, material, and style of your tie. The milder the color, the more formal the look. There are a lot of online resources available that give you insights on how to choose the right tie for an event, and how to tie a necktie (keeping in mind the proper length for your tie and the choice for the occasion). Bow ties lend an excellent touch to any look offered by a blazer or suit jacket and dress shirt.

Pocket square:
Similarly, a pocket square can sync well with a blazer, a suit, a tuxedo, or a three-piece suit, but avoid wearing a pocket square in your shirt pocket. It is not mandatory that you should wear a matching tie and pocket square. I recommend wearing a matching tie and pocket square if they’re both solid color and equivalent material. Check for accessory sets including a matching tie and pocket square, in addition to a tie clip and a pair of cufflinks.
Tie clips:
Tie clips lend a modern and convenient look. Small they may be, but tie clips have the biggest impact in terms of look. They give a classy look and maintain the position of your tie. Men who wear a tie day in and out may be well aware of the difficulties wearing it on a chilly day.
Cufflinks:
Cufflinks are mainly applicable for keeping the dress shirt cuffs attached. They form an excellent alternative for the buttons keeping the cuffs of the shirt fastened.
It’s Your Wedding Time, Play It With Colors
#WeddingsByBucco
“To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow–this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.”– Elizabeth Gilbert
If you’re an aficionado of dark and restrained palette, go for a wedding suit in gray or brown (shades of chocolate). Neutral light is also in vogue in recent times. The number of grooms presenting themselves on the wedding podium in beige color, creating a unique look, is on the rise.

The Classic Combo Of Denim And White Shirts
#FreestyleFridays
Try bringing together two invincible classics, and we’re talking about a denim jacket layered over a white shirt or a tee. And there we go… just about drooling about this ultra-perfect combo.
Single-breasted Jackets Famous Since 80’s
#ThrowbackThursdays
Single-breasted jackets have been in vogue since the 1980’s, especially the classic ‘V’ style. The most common type of suit lapel, the notch lapel, is characterized by a discernible indent at the spot where the collar converges with the lapel. Easily the most multi-purpose format of lapel styles, the notch lapel is not just super-perfect for the boardroom but for the cocktail lounge as well. I recommend the ‘V’ style if you’re on the fence about which men’s lapel type to go with.
Stay Cool With Light Semi-casual Fabrics
#WearItWednesday
I recommend Summer Smart as an ideal semi-casual dress code for warm-weather conditions as guests can freely play around with colors and materials. Tailoring in light, neutral or pastel colors works wonder here, as does navy. While still selecting a linen or seersucker suit that can replace wool or cotton, you can stay cool and classy throughout. Pair it with a pair of loafers in a matchy matchy shade.
Stretchable Suits – Bend, Jump And Play With It
#TeachingTuesdays
Every suit jacket and tailored pant should have an integrated stretch. This comes into play when you jump on a two-wheeler or rush to a meeting. Bend, stretch, and test the limits: any bespoke effort is designed to keep up with your day-to-day activities.

Go Bold, Choose Dark Colors For Your Workplace
#MotivationalMondays
“If you don’t risk anything, you gain nothing. When you gain nothing, you risk even more.”– Unknown
By going for bolder suit colors at the workplace, you obviously take the risk of thinking out of the box, but gain a lot. Now then you’re anything but me when the climate turns warm by preferring a lighter weight fabric and something that breathes a little bit better. There is often a greater selection of great bold and bright color options like the Burgundy suit below especially during warmer months.
