What are the base and mid layers?

#TeachingsTuesdays

In general, layering has two parts—base and mid. Functionally, both of these layers do the same job, i.e., to regulate your body temperature. However, the former lies close to your skin and is also accountable for wicking the sweat from your body. On the other hand, the latter falls between the outermost and innermost layers of your clothing. 

Depending on the weather, the fabric of these layers changes. For example, men prefer cotton layers in the summer and fleece or wollen layers in the winter.

“Fashion is architecture; it is a matter of proportions.” —Coco Chanel

#MotivationalMondays

Each element in a man’s suit is designed based on proportions. For example, your jacket or tee should follow the rule of 1/3rd; the sleeve length ends where your arm ends; and the first button on the blazer must stay right at the belly button; etc. Ideally, if the proportions are right, the suit will look great on you! Thus, fashion experts refer to architecture when styling a men’s suit.

Types of layers for men in autumn!

#TeachingsTuesdays

Men need different types of layers to style in autumn—for two reasons—aesthetics and functionality. Well, here are some layers that you can consider and, according to us, that serve both purposes. 

Jackets—the thick layer that extends up to your waist

Overcoats—similar to jackets but might extend to thighs or knees

Sweaters—an insulating layer useful for fall and winter

Vests—the thick protective layer that goes underneath 

Cardigans—similar to sweaters but with front zip or button closures for easy handling

“A man’s manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.” —Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

#MotivationalMondays

A mirror is a perfect reflection of what comes in front. Likewise, a man’s manners, attitude, or behavior are like a mirror reflection of his inner portrait, personality, or character. So, be it your gestures or dressing style, they matter much, as they reflect what and who you are from inside.

The most common smart casual fall suit style for men

#FreestyleFridays

Wearing any blazer with matching suit trousers and a white button-up dress shirt completes the smart casual style. However, to have the autumn touches, you can choose to wear flannel, wool-made, or cashmere fabrics to tailor your suit sets. A waistcoat is totally an option for early autumn days. However, they are essential when winter is nearing in the late fall. Notably, neckties are not required for this kind of smart look.
