Within the next few weeks, a Laz Alonso takeover will be take shape on the small screen. Premiering this month, he will be the host on the new season for TV One and Lexus’ Versus and Flow. Come September 17, Alonso will co-star with Debra Messing on a new NBC dramedy, The Mysteries of Laura.
When it comes to looks on-screen and off, Alonso “woke-up-like-dis.” He’s simply a classic and I know that I’m not the only one who shares those sentiments. Wouldn’t you agree, Alonso is among Black Hollywood’s flawless brothers? Furthermore, when a man who is easy on the eyes also happens to be dressed well, that just happens to put him in a different category. So fellas, dapper up and take a few style cues from this week’s Star Style, Laz Alonso.
A season-less suit is a must-have for any man making moves. Like Alonso, owning a gray suit will have you ready for any occasion from a nighttime event, to a casual dinner, to a day in the office.
For a day of business, choose a solid color tie that lets your clients and co-workers know you are dependable.
Be mindful of the vibe that your shirt and suit combination gives off. Alonso pairing this royal blue shirt with his khaki suit makes it perfect for a night on the town that’s festive yet classy.
Few men have embraced the white jean look for fear of looking as if they’ve stepped off the set of “Miami Vice.” But, guys, you should know that white jeans are the new blue jean and can complete any look you wish to accomplish.
As an example of the previous point, wearing a motorcyle-inspired jacket, like Alonso, can make white jeans less intimidating.
Consider opting for a laid-back ensemble during your down time. A classic pair of sneakers, jacket, and jeans is simple, but still manages to keep you looking pulled together.
If you are thinking about investing in a tuxedo, purchasing a single breasted style with a vest, will give you flexibility and options for different events.
Tan summer suits are a season-appropriate staple that can be paired with other fun accessories, such as straw hats, two-tone oxfords, gingham shirts, and so much more.
Gray jeans, like blue or black ones, have the ability to kick up your look a notch.
Wearing head-to-toe black is easy for any night out. But for men who want to stand out, adding a sharp contrast such as a white blazer into the mix will have eyes on you.
If you have been eying a few necklaces, but aren’t sure of how to pair them, then consider starting off with a long cord necklace with a crew neck Tee.
Not sure of how to rock that navy blue suit you purchased? The blazer and pants can be worn separately with other items in your closet. Like Alonso, you can easily pair the jacket with a stripped Tee and jeans.
