5 Ways To Wear A Chambray Shirt
![]() from He Spoke Style - Men's Style, Fashion, Grooming, Tips and Advice How to wear a chambray shirt this spring.A quick round up of 5 HSS certified looks on how to wear your chambray shirt should have you hanging one in your closet. (If you don’t have one already, here are some great options.) A shirt no man should be without; it’s no wonder why this classic cloth works in almost every situation. 1. Dressed Up Spring StapleAlthough chambray is typically thought of as a casual fabric, it’s been slowly making its way into the closets of stylish men as a dressed-up option as well. The texture and breathability of this fabric makes it a spectacular option for the slightly cool spring weather. By replacing your typical blue dress shirts for a chambray one, it’s an easy way to update one of your old suited looks. 2. Easy WeekenderSometimes it’s all about having the essentials. Don’t overthink your casual look when it comes to comfort. Top it off with a classic fedora and go about your weekend. 3. Upgrade Your Office StyleLots of men are dressing more casually in the office, but business casual doesn’t mean jeans and an untucked dress shirt. Elevate your business casual look to feel similar to your dressed up looks. Introducing a chambray shirt into the mix dresses down the look, while still feeling sharp. Switch to a button-down version if you’re going for a more relaxed look. 4. Day to Night TransitionWith the last stretch of winter still upon us, you might still need a layered look to transition from day to night. Wearing a chambray shirt provides just the right amount of casualness to a sharp-looking night out with friends. You can easily ditch the tie if it’s too formal. Just make sure the denim is trim and in a different shade of blue. 5. Go-To Casual ShirtJust because it’s the weekend doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care how you dress. Easily look more put together with a pair of light chinos and low-top sneakers. Top it off with a worn-in suede jacket and you’ve got the perfect grown-up look for the weekend. Thanks for reading.

All Business: The Bonobos Italian Performance Suit
![]() from He Spoke Style - Men's Style, Fashion, Grooming, Tips and Advice A review of Bonobos suitsIn partnership with Bonobos. I have been curious about Bonobos, especially their suits, for quite some time. Our previous Managing Editor, Adam Stone, who is now quite an accomplished stylist, moved from Chicago to NYC to work with the brand. Needless to say, I respect Adam very much and knew he wouldn’t work with a company he didn’t believe in. Fast forward a couple two, three years, and I’m here with an opportunity to test drive the Bonobos experience. What follows will be a review of Bonobos suits, focusing on fit, fabric, and quality. Full transparency, this post is presented in partnership with Bonobos (as indicated clearly and conspicuously at the top of the post–it’s a shame some people don’t ever disclose their relationships with brands, isn’t it? Shame on them.), but I was fully prepared to say, “thanks, but no thanks” if the garments were subpar. Moving on into the review. A quick elevator speech about Bonobos. Bonobos was founded in 2007 as a brand dedicated to making pants that actually fit well. Since then, they’ve expanded into men’s shirts, suits (including formalwear), and more. Everything is done online. There are 60+ brick and mortar locations, but the brand considers them “guideshops”. Basically, a real-life virtual showroom. Find the fit you like and they ship it right to your door. Free shipping both ways. And a generous return policy. The suit I’m wearing: The Italian Performance Suit in navy pindot. 38R slim blazer fit. 31-inch waist slim fit pants. Two button. Notch lapel. Flap pockets. Double vent. I took a complete gamble with the sizing. In the past, with other brands, I have been in the habit of choosing a 36R jacket and a 30-inch waist on my pants. I should mention that in the past, I was okay with my suits being slightly on the more fitted side. However, as I’ve gotten older and more mature in my approach to classic men’s style, I have deliberately chosen to go with garments with slightly more room–both for comfort and looks. So did my gamble pay off? How does the suit fit? Surprisingly well. I mean, I was very impressed. In fact, when I brought it to my tailor, he asked me two questions. First, where did you have this made? And second, did you already have the jacket and pants tailored? It was that good. As you can see. Well, then, why was I at the tailor? The pants come unfinished, which is a great move on their part, as it allows the purchaser to dial in that very important detail to their exact specifications. It would be nice if Bonobos would cover the cost of alterations, but this is not something they currently offer. The fabric. The fabric is a four-way stretch Italian wool from Marzotto (97% wool, 3% elastane). It’s navy with a lighter blue pindot, which gives it some nice depth and texture. I should note that my tailor also commented on the fabric, which he said he knew and was familiar with as a solid workhorse fabric. The addition of the elastane gives it a bit of stretchiness, which adds to the overall comfort and flexibility. One more thing to point out is that the fabric is both stain and liquid repellent. Rob and I shot these photos during a light rain. If you look closely, you might be able to see some small water beads on the jacket. Incredibly, when you push them away, they roll right off and do not leave a mark. The details. One of the reasons I generally go made-to-measure or bespoke is because of the control over important details, especially when it comes to jacket lapels. Most OTR options tend to have fairly narrow lapels, which are a complete no-go for me. However, the lapel width on this suit is exactly what I ask for with the majority of my MTM or bespoke suits–3.5 inches. I also am very picky when it comes to the leg opening of my trousers. I am typically in the 13.5-14″ range. And these trousers–slim fit–come it at 14″. I had my tailor hem them with just a slight break. One unexpected, interesting, and mildly strange detail to point out is the existence of an extra zipped pocket in both the pants and the jacket. In the pants, it is directly behind the front pocket. On the jacket, it is on the inside. I have never seen this feature before. I could imagine it being used to its best advantage for cash or a card that you definitely don’t want to slip out of another pocket. However, I would avoid using it for anything bulky. The verdict. Though my experience in the RTW suit department is admittedly limited, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with Bonobos. The fit is excellent. The styling is classic. The fabric is a nice quality and quite comfortble, with the added bonus of it being a liquid repellant performance fabric. If you’re looking for a suit with those attributes and need a quick turnaround, I can definitely say that you should give Bonobos a try. Chime in: What are your thoughts on Bonobos?

5 Great-Smelling Spring Fragrances
from He Spoke Style - Men's Style, Fashion, Grooming, Tips and Advice My picks for the best spring colognesUntil we started putting a lot more effort into the YouTube channel, I had no idea that I was what I guess is referred to as a “fraghead”? If, like me, you haven’t heard that term before, a fraghead is someone who is an avid (or rabid) enthusiast of fragrance. And more often than not, niche fragrances. Totally me. So with that in mind, here are five of my picks for springtime fragrances. 1. Zegna Italian BergamotFirst up we have a fragrance by Zegna from the Essenze collection: Italian Bergamot. This is Zegna’s take on a classic eau de cologne and as the name suggests, bergamot is the predominant note here. You also have a little bit of neroli and vetiver. Projection is about a medium. On my skin it lasts from six to eight hours. This fragrance is very fresh. I think it is quite sophisticated. And it is also very versatile, could easily be worn throughout the day or at night. SHOP HERE: Ermengildo Zegna Italian Bergamot, $205 2. Le Labo Santal 33Next is Le Labo Santal 33. If you are not familiar with this one already, the best way I can describe it is to say that it’s kind of like that song on the radio you hear all the time, but have no clue what it’s called or who sings it. This is one of Le Labo’s most popular fragrances and I guarantee that you have smelled this before. You get woody and leather aromas, but it’s also very fresh, it’s not sort of like an overpowering wood scent. SHOP HERE: Le Labo Santal 33, $189 3. Creed Original VetiverNext up is a Creed classic–Original Vetiver. Vetiver, if you didn’t already know, is a tropical grass native to India. Usually, the root portion of plant is where the oils are extracted from, but Creed actually infuses the root, the leaves and the heart of the plant for this fragrance. The result, is, as you would expect, it does have a very grassy smell to it. It is very fresh. As it starts to dry down on my skin, I do get slight hints of citrus and then almost a sort of soapy quality. Very clean. Very fresh. SHOP HERE: Creed Original Vetiver, $295 4. Amouage Dia For ManNext up is a fragrance from the house of Amouage called Dia For Man. This one is a very, very classic masculine scent. I’ve read some reviews online where people say that it reminds them of the way their grandfather smelled. And I like that. I think it’s a very cool facet of this fragrance that it can evoke that sort of nostalgia for people. Dia For Man is a perfect fragrance for a date, in my opinion. It has a kind of subtle and timeless sexiness to it that is only going to be shared and enjoyed by someone who is sitting close to you, which makes it, and you, even more intriguing. SHOP HERE: Amouage Dia For Man, $305 5. Tom Ford Oud FleurFinally, we have a phenomenal fragrance from Tom Ford–Oud Fleur, possibly my favorite Tom Ford fragrance ever. Now, as the name suggests, you have both an oud note and a floral note. The floral note, to me, is what pops out the most and it is a very distinct rose. But do not think that because this has a pronounced rose note that it is feminine. It is not. There are other sort of rose-centric fragrances out there are marketed as a unisex fragrance–I’m talking specifically about Le Labo Rose 31–that to me definitely skew way more towards the feminine side. But Oud Fleur is decidedly more masculine. SHOP HERE: Tom Ford Oud Fleur, $235 Chime in: What are your favorite spring fragrances? Thanks, as always, for reading.
