"what lingerie is to men, suits are to women"
admit it, girls...
there is class to dark gray flannel with slip of white cuff showing
there is power in a navy blue pinstripe with a deep red tie
there is elegance in an impeccably tailored suit
there is nothing more masculine than herringbone, houndstooth and harris tweed
 |
used in the right spot and in the right amount
these fabrics can sharpen up your room,
and make the men in your life feel more comfortable at home
there are numerous ways to give a nod to menswear in your decor
and there are plenty of fabrics to choose from -

herringbone
in the psychology of menswear
a well tailored suit epitomizes strenghth, wealth and power
and elegance

(this beautiful room with a distinct masculine feel
reminds me of a tuxedo
high contrasts, classic, elegant..)
translates to classic looks, tailored design, strength and a clean masculine touch

some of the rules are the same
black and white looks great with a pop of red
the busier the pattern, the plainer the rest of your fabrics should be
 |

and well, how can you mess with a classic?
its the contrasts in decorating
that make a room more interesting and beautiful
imagine how bland and dull a room would be with no dark and light
no soft and hard or dull and shiny contrasts
consider adding an element, small or large, of menswear fabric
to your home decor
you just can't resist a well-dressed room
amen, sister
This post is amazing. It's cool to see men's fashion being put to use on something other than men.
