New Looks Straight from the Runway

(page 1 of 2)

Lighten Up

This summer, take a cue from the designer runway—ditch the dark suit and embrace lighter-hued alternatives, which transfer from the office to an after-work function with ease. “California is a bit more casual and colors are great for the summer,” says Neiman Marcus men’s fashion director Colby McWilliams. The trick is to pair the suit with muted, solid-color shirts and impeccable shoes.
