Accessories, Accessories, Accessories…

Ways to personalize your look and to add seasonal colors. Now, as the weather is chilling, simply adding a bright scarf or some patterned socks to a look is the easiest way to carry along those warm-weather colors into Fall. The good news too, in this season of layering, you really cannot go overboard, even if it’s only a pair of glasses.

Reiss for a Spring/Summer 2012 Collection Preview by Erin Souza Photo: MELISSA OSTROW Jeff Lahens, men’s style curator at DressCode Boston The man who styled the evening’s male models could have walked the runway himself. He wore a Reiss two-button suit and coral scarf with pieces from his own closet, including a Misura shirt of his own design, Allen Edmonds boots, and his favorite vintage glasses. Jeff has a true appreciation for the  classics: “I always admired the way my dad and my uncles dressed.” His style in a handful of words? Personal, functional, effortless, uplifting, trend-proof, and dress-code-appropriate. This designer and stylist’s list of spring staples includes reliable V-neck tees, pastel linen scarves, layering pieces like cardigans, and Tretorn shoes.
