Mad about Skinny Tie Madness

Come to think of it I have a few reasons why I'm mad for Skinny Tie Madness. First, they have a huge array of choices. If you tend for the more conservative side you'll find repp stripes and cool plaids. For the more adventurous types they have a bunch a fashion forward prints and colors. I chose some of my favorites and as you can see there are a lot to choose from. The price point is another reason this company is noteworthy at $29 or less they are definitely worth your attention. Now you can add Skinny Tie Madness to your sartorial go-to list.

Ahora que tomo un momento hay varias razones que estoy loco por Skinny Tie Madness. Primero que todo, ellos tienen una gran variedad de estilos para escoger. Si tiendes a corbatas mas conservativas encontraras patrones preppy de rayas y cuadros. Si quieres ser mas aventurero veras que hay muchas opciones también. Escogí algunas de mis corbatas favoritas que me llamaron la atención. Otro punto importante es el precio. La corbata mas cara es $29 dólares! Añade esta compañía a tu lista para cualquier necesidad que tengas de corbata, pañuelos y accesorios.

Woodies: Made For You

I've talked about different custom made clothes before on the blog and one of the things they all had in common was that you needed to have someone take your measurements or for you to measure yourself. Woodies has found a way to bypass that by having you enter the most basic information like your weight and height. If you know your neck size and sleeve length awesome, fill it in too. If you don't, no worries, Woodies will take care of the rest. Pick the fabric, favorite collar, cuff style and more. Now that the temperature is getting warmer and you'll be wearing less layers you will want to make sure your shirt fits right. Don't just take my word for it- check out the site!

3-Ways to Wear A Spread Collar Shirt

Tres Maneras de Ponerse Una Camisa Clásica

A spread collar shirt calls for a tie but that doesn't mean you don't have options. Here are three different ways to wear a a classic spread collar shirt.

Una camisa de cuello amplio requiere una corbata pero eso no significa que no tienes opciones. Aquí muestro tres maneras de ponerte una camisa clásica de cuello amplio.

Shirt- Spectre & Co. | Chinos- J.Crew | Tie- Bloomingdales | Belt- Club Monaco

The shirt I'm wearing has a small purple check so I chose a navy and purple striped tie to play with the pattern and color. Keep it classic by wearing khaki chinos and you'll be set for work.

La camisa que tengo puesto tiene cuadrados pequeños de color violeta entonces lo combine con una corbata de rayas azul marino y violeta para jugar con el patrón y el color. Ponte pantalones de kaki para mantener el look clásico y apropiado para el trabajo.

Shirt- Spectre & Co. | Leather Jacket- Calvin Klein | Tie- Tie Bar | Tie Clip- Tie Bar

Let a leather jacket give you that cool factor and change up the neckwear by wearing a knit tie. You can't go wrong with a black tie and the fact that it's a knit tie will add a good mix of textures with the smooth leather jacket.

Una chaqueta de cuero te dará ese factor cool y este seguro de añadir una corbata tejida. No te vas equivocar al ponerte una corbata negra y al escoger una corbata tejida sera una buena combinación de texturas acompañado con la chaqueta de cuero.

Shirt- Spectre & Co. | Blazer- ASOS | Bow Tie- Club Monaco

A bow tie is a great option to spice things up. This one has a fleur de lis pattern but stripes or polka dots will also look great. Don't let yourself get in a rut- mix patterns, use different fabrics and styles of ties when wearing a spread collar shirt!

Una pajarita (corbata de lazo) es una buena opción para cambiar la monotonía de la corbata. Esta pajarita en particular tiene el patron del fleur de lis pero rayas o un estampado de puntos se vera excelente tambien. Recuerda puedes mezclar patrones, usar diferentes telas y estilos cuando te pongas una camisa clásica!

Spring is about transition and the denim jacket is great for that time of year. I looked around and my favorites are from ASOS and JCrew. As pictured here you can wear a denim jacket with jeans just make sure they're a darker wash. You can also wear the denim jacket with chinos, a button down shirt and tie, It'll have you looking very sharp. Remember, the denim jacket is a classic so you'll never have to get rid of it. 

La primavera es una temporada de transición y la chaqueta vaquera es ideal. Encontré mis dos favoritas en ASOS y JCrew. Como puedes ver aquí, te puedes poner una chaqueta de mezclilla con pantalones vaqueros sólo asegúrete de que sea un color más oscuro. También puedes ponerte la chaqueta de mezclilla con chinos, un camisa y corbata. Recuerdate, la chaqueta vaquera es un clásico, así que nunca tendrás que deshacerse de ella.
