Monochrome meets styled sophistication in this ensemble. A tailored blazer pairs nicely with darker dress pants, its plaid pattern tying the outfit together and introducing a hint of warmth. Underneath, a subtly striped tie adds contrast against a crisp white dress shirt. Dapper details, including a pocket square, watch, and leather shoes, round out this polished look.

Sophisticated shades of blue take center stage in this layered look. A deep blue sport coat draws the eye and is expertly paired with a navy waistcoat and light shirt to create dimension.
