Spring Fashion at Christopher James

April Showers Bring May … Colors?

Flowers are blooming in Fort Wayne and so why not mirror some of the beautiful colors you see outside? Studies indicate that different hues can certainly have an effect on one’s mood and energy levels, so stow away the dark blues, browns and greens and opt for lighter blues, shades of yellow and different pastels.

If you’re not one to wear lighter colored-shirts on top, try easing into spring with accessories from Christopher James that introduce calming colors like blues, inject you with energy, thanks to the likes of shades of violet and red and douse you with rays of sunshine from happy colors like yellows and greens.

Pick up a new pair of socks or a spring-y Robert Talbott tie. Opting for a patterned shirt could be a bold step for some. Loosen the proverbial — or figurative, these days — tie and consider an Emanuel Berg pocket square with bright colors that scream warmer temperatures, brighter moods and new life. A much smaller footprint with a potential to make or break your look, why not take a fashionable leap of faith and stick a stylishly bold pocket square in your blazer breast pocket

Think spring and see you at Christopher James soon!

So Long, Winter! Hello, Spring in Fort Wayne!

You survived winter! You could celebrate by wearing a few of the spring fashion trends that we hear the young men are sporting these days, which include leather pants and tie dye shirts, or you could be a part of the cool kids and don a colorful button-down shirt to go under your blazer or lightweight sweater. Yeah, we at Christopher James think the latter, too.

With patterns such as paisley, plaid and checks, you’ll welcome spring with colors that will brighten up many days ahead. The newest selections from Peter Millar and Emanuel Berg  will help put you in a brighter mood. The trend is big and bold, so go big or go home! Think fun patterns with bright blues and corals against a white background or vibrant plaids that brighten up your wardrobe in a pinch.

One reader never shops for clothes without his wife because he’s colorblind and likes his wife’s sense of style.

We’ll show you Byron suit picks that will fit you like a glove, explain the easy process of ordering a CJ semi-custom dress shirt or help you choose a pair of Paige jeans that will quickly become one of your favorite pairs.

Helping you with your style and presenting your best business or special event self are what we do best. From a stylish cap or fedora to spiffy socks and Trask shoes, to other accessories you don’t even realize you might need, leave it in the hands of the capable, observant, patient and sophisticated Christopher James team. General Douglas MacArthur said, “You are remembered for the rules you break.” Count on us to help you be a stylish rule breaker and risk taker.

Step into Winter in Style

The crisp weather has caught up to us in Fort Wayne and there’s no escaping it. Embrace it with a few new staples for your business and weekend wardrobe. Whether you’re a bachelor out on your own for the first time who just landed his first corporate job or you’re a mature  professional whose career has been in full swing for years, Christopher James Menswear has something for you!

Are you a more library, wood and academic look type of guy? How about a new plaid Byron sport coat and a dark button-down shirt from Peter MIllar and v-necked sweater to keep you extra warm? Skip the tie, invest in a warm pair of wool trousers, pair it with dark loafers and you’re ready for your meeting.

If the slick corporate look is more your style, try a new sport coat from Byron, a smart tie or pocket square and a CJ semi-custom shirt. Slacks and lace-up dress shoes from Trask will help you walk into the board room in style.

We know that many offices these days are opting for casual looks, too. Christopher James has you covered. Consider a turtleneck under a sweater and a pair of dark Paige jeans with leather short boots. Or a Peter Millar button-down shirt with Paige jeans and loafers. Do you prefer to keep it business on top and more casual on the bottom? Go for a spiffy new CJ semi-custom button-down shirt and a sports coat to round out your look. You can’t go wrong.

Thanks for your continued business and we look forward to dressing you for the cold weather ahead. Don’t forget to sign up for our email list and we’ll keep you in the loop on upcoming events and offers. See you soon!
