Black is back and more classic than ever, this is the color that’s tried and true, and appropriate all year round.

With accessories, it is paramount to build your collection with at least one or two pieces in black. If you’re limited on space and you’re a no frills man then your staple tote should be in a good solid black.

When shopping for dress shirts, from time to time, you’ll spot the club-collar. Making a subtle yet significant presence, today you’ll find this anomaly of a collar popping up more often, and why not? For one, it breaks your shirt wardrobe beyond color and fabric. Many men fear to dabble with the way the club collar appears. Alien to the standard, it does not have those protruding sharp isosceles shapes we’ve been accustomed to associating with a dress shirt. Less prominent and organic, the club collar subtly makes its mark on the wearer’s neckline.

The biggest mistake many make is have it end up looking too themed or more reminiscent of a specific period. Since the club collar carries a wide and rather curved surface area it needs slimmer, fitted pieces to work with. For a look that’s definitely outside the box, opt for the club collar in interesting colors and knits. For a modern look, pair a crisp white club collared shirt with an impeccably knotted bowtie and a fitted suit jacket. This allows for a strong but super sleek focal point. Dior has, on several occasions embraced the club collar. For its fall collection this year Burberry has paid homage and many will suit to follow.

If you’re going to a party honoring one of the world’s best fashion labels, you had better be on your style A game. Fortunately for “Gossip Girl” Blake Lively, on the scene to fete Burberry, she was. I love, love, love Blake’s heather-gray tee paired with a rolled-up boyfriend blazer (a wardrobe must right now) and a foxy wool skirt. Burberry sometimes has a reputation for being too classic and traditional, but Blake proves that the label can do modern and fashion-forward as well as anyone else.
