Entry: Jarrod Barnes of Jarrod’s Photography Blog
Hat: Belfry Bishop, Scarf: Men’s Merona Woven Plaid Scarf, Shirt: Spread-collar regular-fit dress shirt in white, Sweater: Merona OPP Sweater, Pants: Pinstriped tailored pants (slim fit), Coat: Classic cotton trench, Shoes: Bostonian, Men’s Akron Classy, Dressy and fun. Sophisticated yet not overstated. Dressy enough for the office or out on the town….casual enough for post-bar café or drinks at a cigar bar. The gray in the sweater and the high-crown fedora – pulls the look down from head-to-toe. Shoes are classy with a cap-toe and the red in the scarf is a nice contrast element with a patter to break up the solids of the outfit. The white shirt is fundamental to the ‘dressed up’ look. This look is also versatile. Too warm for a sweater? Ditch it and rock the shirt under the trench sans the scarf. Or, throw on a skinny black tie. Untuck the white shirt for a hint of sloppy-dress. This look will turn heads and envelop the wearer in a cloak of confidence and poise.
Entry: Kelly de Silva
A fancy white dress shirt with French lapels, slim dress trousers, black vintage boots, finished off with a vintage dress jacket and topped off with Hats in the Belfry Deuce - Stingy Brim Bowler. Add an extra long feather on the bowler for added pizazz.
Entry: Xelkos
Ne-Yo has a thing for fedoras and beautiful suits and he looks good in them both. This ensemble he wore to the Grammys is by Ferragamo. Nice grey/black suit, yet his fedora should of matched up with a Belfry Street Fuego - Corduroy Fedora or Goorin Prohibition - Diamond Crown Fedora.
You have until this Friday, January 21st to vote. This competition is going to be tough. Happy voting! - Shannon
