A little while ago I was asked to take part in a style challenge by suit makes and all round style setters Bonobos. Bonobos was created by a group of guys for guys. They started off just making trousers and have now expanded into shirts and suits.
"Like most guys, we're not big fans of shopping. That's why we set out to build the best online shopping experience in the world, and we made it the core of what we do. We're now the largest clothing brand ever built on the web in the US."
The suit I chose to style from their AW14 range is the Capstone Tuxedo. I knew the minute I saw this Limited Edition version was the one I needed to style.
What I'm aiming for is an edgy take on the classics. A suit of this style can speak volumes on its own, but with some added detail like a quirky contrasting printed pocket squares, can bring any guys style game to a whole new level.
I love the idea of styling the capstone with contrasting prints and colours, with some smart brogues. Its all about the fun factor but with a hint of suave.
Hope you guys enjoy this small little project! I had great fun doing this, and look forward to similar projects down the line. Make sure to check out Bonobos Suit Collection, unfortunately they don't yet ship worldwide, but if you're ever in NYC or San Francisco make sure to drop into their Guideshops for a one on one service.
