We took the time to ask our own Alexander Julian about his favorite piece this Summer! Being a 5 time Coty Award-winning Fashion Designer and voted 9 times to the International Best Dressed List, it’s safe to say that Alex is a very reputable source for style input.

5 time Coty Award Winning Fashion Designer

Here are some words from Alex about getting dressed in our current world state:

“Wowser! None of us expected this!

Time to think about what’s important, time to reflect and redefine our wants and needs.

We have always advocated ‘smart’ dressing (double entendre intended).

As much as i personally want to own each and every one of our carefully designed new pieces, i have to say that the single most intelligent new addition to a man’s wardrobe is our 5.0 version of ‘the blazer’."

 Botto Royal Blue Glenurquhart Plaid Stretch Sportcoat

"We all have a new lifestyle, dressing is in the process of being redefined. What is the one absolutely most necessary and most useful...the blazer...wear it over a tee for a Zoom meeting, (sweatpants hidden below camera), and you’re a star. Wear it over a cool sport shirt for a distanced cocktail with jeans, and wear it to the office with dress pants and a dress shirt and tie, all looking modern and fresh thanks to the flattering cut and the subtly unusual fabric. ‘be noticed, but not stared at’, the state of the art year ‘round weight of unbelievably comfortable Italian cool-wool stretch, perfectly toned in blazer blue (you never want your blazer to be mistaken for a suit coat!) With an underlying graphic pattern that allows you to use it as if it was solid...but better.

These are currently available in a limited edition.”
