Do Clothes Make The Man?

If You’re The Dude…
You keep it light and carefree with clothing that’s just as easy-going as you are. Your go-to colors are usually bright, chill and always comfortable. Here's what you should try this year.
Bomber jacket: You seem cool, so why not dress the part? Swap out your hoodie for a sleek bomber jacket.
Dark wash denim: Add a slim-fit pair of dark jeans to your closet. It’s the simplest way to dress up (just a little).
Long-sleeve henley: Consider a henley just like your favorite T-shirt, but better—it’s got buttons.
The Guy
You’re the quintessential urban dweller with street and style smarts. You like to take a little creative license when it comes to getting dressed, but you still keep it sophisticated and approachable with your closet. Your sharp and you gravitate towards darker, moodier colors.
Here’s what you should try this year:
A modern plaid: Plaid in two hues, now that’s modern. Wear this to work or leave it untucked with jeans for the weekend.
Wool sportcoat: Take a cue from Prince Harry and wear a wool sportcoat with chinos or go casual and layer a hoodie underneath.
Sneaker oxfords: Get a pair of sneakers with a sneakered sole for a comfier take on this sleek shoe.
The Gentleman
When it comes to style, your closet is full of tailored cuts, quiet colors and subdued prints that pair well with every pair of pants you own. Most of your wardrobe is probably casual to business casual..
Here’s what you should try this year:
Reworked shirt: You have your dress shirt game down, but have you tried a reworked shirt yet? It’s classic cotton on the front and stretch panels on the back and arms for ultimate comfort. It’s just like a work shirt, but better.
Stretch blazer: Forget your stiff blazers, step into 2018 with one with plenty of stretch.
Monk- strap shoes: A special occasion shoe for most men, a new daily staple for you. Wear them with your dress pants, a button-down and a blazer.
The Man
You’ve got rugged ways that translate into your style . You’re a man of durability.You’re into function over form, but knows what’s up when it comes to quality. You have a handful of staples items, you’ll always refresh when you need to, but you’re also not afraid of a little rip, tear or hole.
Here’s what you should try this year:
Heavyweight work shirt: Invest in a heavyweight work shirt this year. It feels like a thick canvas material, but looks way cooler, especially when worn with jeans or khakis and canvas sneakers.
Straight fit pant: Get a slim fit pant that you can wear out to the bars and to work. Slim fits don’t mean skinny, they just look good with plaid shirts and every sweater you own.
Denim shirt: If you don’t have one already, make sure to stock up on this staple. Wear it open with a tee or button it up with jeans for a modern take on the Canadian tux.
The Fellow
You’ve got that friendly smile, the loud hello, the firm handshake and that all-American way. You’re a blue man when it comes to jeans, shirts and sweaters, but your attitude is anything but. You go for comfortable classics that work at the office and can grab a beer with the guys too.
Here’s what you should try this year:
Polo shirt: Not just for golfing anymore. Try it with twill joggers and casual sneakers for a new take on this on-the-greens staple.
Striped sweater: Like a sweatshirt, just better. Use it as a second layer for whenever nights (and days) get chilly.
Chukka boots: Didn’t get a pair of chukka boots last year? Now’s your chance. Wear these with everything, except for shorts.
