Express Cotton Sateen Summer Suit

Express Cotton Sateen Suit – $247.50 for Jacket and Pant

“And tell him I’m being a nice guy… And tell him he dresses like a gigolo!”Roman Nagel, Ocean’s 12
“Danny, I like you.  And you Rusty.  I mean, you’ve got style.– Roman Nagel, Ocean’s 13

Tieless, with desert boots.

Can you handle some shine?  Not a lot of shine.  Just a little.  Express doesn’t make subtle stuff.  And this cotton sateen summer suit is a prime example of that.

It’s like a khaki or tan version of what Brad Pitt wore through much of Ocean’s 12.  You’ll need to identify a bit more with that character, Rusty, than with George Clooney’s Danny Ocean to pull this fabric off.  A cotton Sateen suit looks like a duller version of a silk sateen necktie.  Not as reflective, but still, about as opposite of tweed as it gets.

Even if you lean a little more towards the minimalist side, if you pair the suit with a thin stripe shirt and a cotton or wool (NOT silk) tie, you’ll be balanced just enough in texture.  Y’know, so you won’t “look like a gigolo.”

If you consider yourself more of a high fashion type, then take the cues from the model and go tie-less with a vest.   Breaking it up at the bottom with desert boots is also a great detail.  (Try the Guess Alexi in Ivory Suede) It’s a beyond cool look that’ll surely get you noticed.
