Dapper Men's Fashions

October 2009

By Melissa Colgan

In this era of casual Fridays, hipsters with sweaty tees and unkempt hair, and sports regalia worn on and off the field, we can’t help but yearn for the days of dapper gents like Fred Astaire. But you needn’t wear a dinner jacket, top hat, walking stick, and ascot to pull off a handsome and elegant look. With our regal accessory picks, a dash of studied scruffiness, Savile Row–style tailoring, and a bit of ironic wit, a more debonair you is just a few steps away.

The Perfect Fold

Is it any coincidence that the last time the pocket square was favored in men’s fashion, during the 1980s, we were also in a recession? Now back in a mind-boggling array of colors, patterns, and fabrics, there is no better way to dress up the breast pocket of a blazer or suit. $25. Elsworth Mens, 811 LaSalle Ave., Ste. 205A, Mpls., 612-339-0763, elsworthmens.com
