Answers to the Men’s Fashion & Style Quiz

 

  1. Belgian Loafers
    a) A Black Patent Leather Belgian Loafers, plus velvet outer and finished with leather trim and bow on top.
    b) A Black Patent Leather Belgian Loafers finished with a leather trim and grosgrain bow on top.

 

  1. E and F – Native Attire (E) and Tuxedo (F)Considering that it’s a Formal Belgian Loafers (due to the Patent leather and grosgrain bow finishing on the top), you can pair it with a Tuxedo (a formal suit) or a dressy Native Attire.

 

  1. A and F – A and F – Charcoal Black Jeans (A) and Dark Indigo Jeans (F)The outfit description in the question is a Business Casual Attire. Some of you may think it’s a Smart Casual Look because of the presence of the Blazer and Denim.
    However, the “Tie” addition to the ensemble stated differentiates it from a Smart Casual dress code
    (which doesn’t include a tie). So the acceptable denim jeans color that can be paired with the Business casual ensemble is Dark Jeans in a solid color, no wash! So Charcoal Black Jeans (A) and Dark Indigo Jeans (F) are both correct.

 

  1. The question says List 10 Upper body accessories
    That means part of the body above-the-waist, that can be used to style an Office Dress Suit i.e. Business Formal Attire.
    Eyeglasses, Collar Pin, Tie, Tie Bar, Pocket Square, Lapel Pin, Fountain Pen, Cufflinks, Wrist Watch, and Bracelet.

    Note that, the above list does not contain upper body accessories that cannot be used to style an Office Dress Suit wasn’t mentioned. Such as Ascot, Hat, Brooch or Boutonniere. HAT Etiquette dictates men don’t wear hats within the office environment as it doesn’t give a professional image in business situations.

  2. The hooded sweater (2) is an ultra-casual fashion piece. Once you remove it, the look becomes casual.
