Have an outdoor wedding this summer? We DARE you to rock this! Don’t know what to wear with it? Try a linen or cotton suit in light brown…need a tie with that?? Pick a color that’s already in the shirt–make sure the tie coordinates with one of them. Boom–hottest guy at the wedding (surpassing the groom????).

We love Ben Sherman for their classic looks with specialty details and a great quality for the price. These are great sale prices to boot…so get them while they’re still available!

“I got an email today from Express about their end of the season sale and when I think fashionable and frugal, I think you…as a curious follower, if you could offer insight into fashion standards or looks that will be safe bets on still being fashionable next winter (let along the rest of this one), it would be perfect for these sort of end of the season sales. Just a thought. Hope all is well (and warmer than here… -9° right now… can’t. get. warm.)” –E.J.
First as always, thanks for reading and thinking we’re frugal; flattery will get you everywhere (including into this blog post). Second, -9?? You need some serious warmth and there are luckily some good winter clearance sales going on right now. We recommend layering–start with a long sleeved shirt or button down, get a sweater or hoodie, grab a blazer over that and top it off with your quintessential winter jacket. If you’re still cold then, you should probably get a job at Columbia or Patagonia and get some free gear… Here are a few affordable collectibles for your long-term winter closet:

Check out the swarthy Jake Gyllenhaal in this chambray shirt. LKc Style has had questions from several clients lately about how to integrate Chambray into their wardrobe–especially when pairing with jeans or other denim items. This photo is a great example–wear darker wash jeans and keep the casual rugged look with some buttons undone and/or throw on a corduroy blazer to spruce up a bit. Here are a few chambray options under $50:

“I love Finn’s cowl neck sweater! Do you know where I can get a female version of that sweater? Thanks! Keep up the good work.” –Kristin
Kristin, here’s a few female-friendly versions of Finn’s cowl neck sweater from GLEE. (GUYS–these might be good girlfriend presents for the holidays *hint hint*). For even more GLEE stuff for girls, see our pal The Possessionista for Rachel’s adorable skirts or Ms. Pillsbury’s coats!
