In an industry more dedicated to catering to the needs of fashionistas, gentlemen don’t need to worry. There is no lack of stylish options especially with well-tailored pieces by Perry Ellis.
Established in the 1980s, Perry Ellis, the style purveyor of men’s fashion, has become known for its style which puts a non-traditional twist to modern classics. Its design sensibility is geared towards fusing the comfort of sportswear with the tailoring of office staples; producing unique pieces that inspire men to confidently embrace their own style.
Actress Cristine Reyes, fashion and lifestyle blogger Vina Guerrero, and young style guru Kara Gozali dress the men in their lives, Ali Khatibi, David Guison, and Dr. Mark Agas, respectively, and transform then into “Men of the Millennia.”
Dressed to Impress: Cristine Reyes for Ali Khatibi
For Filipino-Iranian mixed martial arts fighter Ali Khatibi, he feels most at ease in his dressed down “uniform” of jeans and a T-shirt, or in his fighting gear.
Perry Ellis gives him the same comfort, while elevating the casual look with sharp pieces in a neutral and masculine palette. Wife Cristine is ecstatic to have her hubby don a more polished look with trim khaki pants and a dark navy long-sleeved woven shirt. To dress up her husband for his daytime events, Cristine chose a light blue printed woven that exudes a fresh and cool appeal.
“I let my wife choose my outfits sometimes, and I love the outfits she picks, especially this one because she knows what looks good on me. And blue is my favorite color, which makes this perfect! I trust her taste when it comes to fashion, and I’m glad I have her to help me out,” he shares with a smile. With Perry Ellis, men can enjoy a smart and chic style that doesn’t feel too confining.
Styling the Adventurous: Vina Guerrero for David Guison
David Guison, the creative eye behind the menswear blog DG Manila, is not afraid when it comes to his fashion choices. He knows what he likes and knows what looks good on him; however, he doesn’t limit himself to the tried-and-tested. A true fashion-forward individual, he freely explores his ever-evolving style.
For this fashion challenge, Vina dressed the handsome jetsetter in a sleek navy suit from the Perry Ellis Travel Luxe collection. “What I love about Perry Ellis is that all the materials they use are travel-friendly [wrinkle free], and so become the perfect choices when criss-crossing the globe,” Vina says.
Her other look for her beau reflects his more adventurous, yet still refined, take on fashion – matching a short-sleeved woven with printed trousers. “David is a fan of mixing formalwear with street style, and Perry Ellis has the right mix of both styles so it wasn’t hard at all to style theselooks for David.” Whether you’re a fashionable guy or a regular Joe, there are pieces that will definitely add character and variety to one’s wardrobe.
Versatile Styles for Different Lifestyles: Kara Gozali for Dr. Mark Agas
Dr. Mark Agas would rather spend his time thinking of how to better serve his patients at St. Luke’s Medical Center, than think of what to wear for the day. When it comes to his personal style, he likes to keep it low-key while still looking presentable.
Kara Gozali, Dr. Mark’s special lady, puts together a sleek business casual look for the young doctor, veering away from the serious, work uniform-feel of restrictive suits. “Comfort, convenience, and versatility are important factors when it comes to his style as he needs outfits that will effortlessly transition from the hospital to social events right after.”
Kara layers an aubergine jacket on top of a salmon-colored woven and pairs it with slim-fit trousers in a dark palette to suit Dr. Mark. “You can’t categorize his style into a certain kind, because he likes to switch it up depending on his mood. Throwing on a jacket helps to immediately change the look and feel of an outfit, from casual to dressy. With Perry Ellis, looking dapper is easy as 1, 2, 3,” she shares.
For the no-frills man, Perry Ellis offers a variety of beautifully well-made staples that remove the guesswork in shopping and help guys build a better everyday wardrobe. For more fashion-savvy individuals, Perry Ellis also presents exciting pieces that would allow them to explore their style comfort zone. Regardless of a one’s style or personality, you can find something that will help guys feel more confident as they go about their day.
