“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Thrifting is a
lifestyle and cultural but beneficial. I will be the first to admit men’s
clothing is not cheap, in fact, I believe it is pricier than women’s clothing. I
was given the opportunity to visit this store. Combing through the suit rack, I
found an abundance of name brands of men’s clothing (London Fog, Jose.A.Bank,
Allen Edmonds, Men’s warehouse) are just a taste of what I found at Monark!
Overflow of suits, shirts, shoes, and ties…everything you need to complete your
professional look!
A man must wear a suit at one point in his life, but he must
not be the suit. The suit must work for you, you don’t work for the suit. If
you find a suit that does not fit, you can easily tailor the jacket to make it
fitted. Mixing and matching suit styles can be fun.
But before you split up a suit, you need to follow a few
rules:
-Wearing suit separates is all about playing with colors and
patterns. But the rule of thumb is to style it correctly to look professional.
If you are wearing a patterned Blazer I suggest wearing a solid shirt. Too much
pattern will make you look like you got dressed in the dark ha-ha.
-Make sure you are wearing the right dress shoes and other
accessories to help you pull it off.
Mixing and matching is key to having different looks throughout
the week. I recommend visiting Monarch, and visit consistently because you
never know what might be there the next week.
