New York stylist, Jesse Bride, has been transforming the wardrobes of the rich, famous and fabulous for over 10 years. If there's one thing he knows it's where to get the best quality and style for the most value. You don't always need to buy the biggest designer label to get a superior fit, fabric, quality or style. And as Shakespeare said, "what's in a name" anyway?
Over the upcoming months Jesse will be sharing with me and my chic readers some of his secrets to being the best dressed and his go-to brands for chic, affordable essentials.
One brand that Jesse swears by for both men and women is Brooks Brothers. Don't be fooled by their conservative, middle-aged image - they make some of the best basics in the industry and you won't find a more well made suit for the money. They make their suits in many of the same Italian factories and often with the same fabrics as designer brands that charge four times as much. Men who want a suit that will last and fit to perfection should invest in a classic, matching trouser and jacket and spend the money to have them tailored to their proportions. There can be no more excuse for men who wear baggy, long pants and blazers with over-sized shoulders. Move over Donald Trump, hello George Clooney!
