The Tie Bar Black Floral Bowtie Review

via thetiebar.com

Weekly Theme: Work Holiday Party

The finishing touch to the perfect “damn this guy looks impressive” ensemble. This bowtie has character, but is subtle as to not interfere with the impact of the maroon dinner jacket. It’s made of silk to match the elegance of the lapels and the velvet shoes, and shows not only that your bold, but have the capability to give great attention to detail. Tie the whole outfit together with this small, yet critical accessory that will have the bosses and the ladies looking your way.

Club Monaco Vintage Floral Button Down

via clubmonaco.com

A lightly-colored floral shirt for Fall? Seriously? Yes, seriously. Rules are made to be broken, and while the official timeframe to wear white has passed, we say, if you are confident enough to do away with the rules, you are confident enough to rock this floral button down from Club Monaco. It's 100% cotton with buttoned collars (always a plus for us) and has a breast pocket, just in case. This casual yet flashy top will go great under a muted colored cardigan or bomber, and a nice pair of corduroys or maroon chinos.

Available on clubmonaco.com for $80

Boden Long Sleeve Floral Button Down

via bodenusa.com

The mid-summer break is now over, but that doesn't mean Fall is here yet! There are two and half solid months of warm weather and patio sitting to be had. This means the floral print is still in high rotation. By now, you have most likely exhausted your floral top game, wearing you 2-3 floral prints to a number of nights out, or parties, meaning now is the perfect time to add one more to the closet and expand the rotation by one. This floral print long sleeve from Boden is just the right amount of bright, and comes in regular or slim fit, depending on your preference. Right now, it's also super cheap, so don't feel bad about adding another set of flowers to the closet. The options you have the more likely you are to have the right flowers for the right occasion. We suggest you wear this top with gray chinos, slim khakis, or even white shorts.

Available on sale at BodenUSA.com for $29 (on sale from $80)

1901 Hawaiian Embroidered Woven Shirt

Via Nordstrom.com

And the floral print selections continue! This awesome Hawaiian shirt from 1901 has great muted maroon coloring, a classic Hawaiian fern pattern, and great embroidered hula girls scattered throughout the shirt making it a unique spring button-down perfect for any outside drink activity. The shirt is dyed oxford cotton, meaning it will have some body and good structure and is armed with a button-down collar keeping the shape of the shirt around the neck so you don't have to worry about the collar tips turning into wings. We like this shirt with a solid color pair of shorts, chinos, or dark wash jeans and some shades like these.

Brooks Brothers Blue Floral Print Shorts

via brooksbrothers.com

Like we've said before, floral is taking the men's fashion world by storm this year, and we like it. Not to over do it, these blue on blue floral print shorts from Brooks Brothers make a statement but without yelling it at you. What these shorts lack in brightness they make up in pattern design. These shorts have a 9" inseam, well-suited for those 5'8" and up, and have a little elastane in them so you can actually move around in them even though they fit slimmer on the leg than legacy BB shorts. As a heads up, these are button fly shorts, so if you're one of those guys that hates the European way of closing your pants, maybe steer clear of them. We suggest wearing a plain white or pale blue oxford shirt with these flower power pantaloons while taking root in a nice pair of brown leather loafers.
