To provide you with the specific information needed to solve your fashion dilemmas, we present our new weekly Style Q&As.Q: I’m pretty fit but I seem to have developed sort of a saggy/double chin. How do I minimize this? A: Concealing a double chin is best done using one or both of the following methods. First, use your wardrobe to distract others’ eyes away from your chin by donning V-neck T-shirts or dress shirts with a button or two undone. A top like Kenneth Cole Reaction’s short-sleeved Henley is an excellent choice because you can adjust the neckline to be as open as you desire, the striped pattern provides additional distraction and a close fit emphasizes toned arms. Alternatively, you can try growing a neat beard to disguise the effects of gravity on your chin.Q: What kinds of sunglasses flatter a large face with slightly full cheeks? A: Guys with round faces look their best in glasses or sunglasses that have a contrasting shape. That means that angular, thin frames will lengthen your face. Also, shades that are wider than they are deep, such as rectangular-shaped sunnies, will make your jaw and cheekbones appear more defined. These simple yet stylish sunglasses from Ray-Ban check all the right boxes as far as rounder faces are concerned and they happen to be elegant enough to go with everything.Q: I just picked up a white-ish suit for the summer. What are my options in terms of shoes? A: You’ll be pleased to know that a white suit gives you plenty of options for footwear. A white or tan shoe, like these ones from Stacy Adams, are more conservative color choices, but if you’re feeling bold you can go for an obviously contrasting color like black or even metallic. Another tip for getting the right shoe for your suit is to clearly define "white-ish" as a hue. For example, is your suit actually closer to cream? If so, a tan shoe is the way to go rather than a white shoe.Q: What are my options when it comes to bags for the summer? Right now, I just have a black leather messenger bag and it makes me look like kind of a tool when I go to summer events like BBQs, pool parties and the like.A: Summer is all about easy living, so toting around a leather messenger bag to a sunny social event might leave others with the impression that you’re all work and no play. Replace your staple office bag with a rugged, square-shaped cotton tote, such as this vintage-looking model from Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply which features leather accents. This bag also offers plenty of room for your daily necessities and its olive color will team well with most casual ensembles.The perfect suit for summer weddings... Continue Reading
