The Richmond Sentinel welcomes Douglas Scammell to the team. In reviewing Douglas’ portfolio there are no words to do this man justice with his fashion expertise from his traditional business attire to his classy casual style. If you’re just starting out in the business world Douglas’ experience will help with your wardrobe choices.
A basic black or navy suit can be dressed up with accessories or just by adding a vest. With the addition of a grey suit you can easily turn your wardrobe into four outfits by mix and match.
With COVID-19 came the lifestyle of working at home and putting our business wardrobe away, replacing it with the comfort of track pants and t-shirts. Once it became safe to return to the office and to a social life we needed to re-think about re-vitalizing our wardrobe, ditching the track pants and getting a much needed hair cut. Today’s reflection in the mirror is an image you once knew before Covid.
In looking through many photos taken over time, I hope that I have demonstrated the fun you can have mixing and matching a wardrobe. If budget is part of the equation then shop for summer items in the fall and winter items in the summer. You will often pick up quality items at affordable prices because the retailers want to make room for new inventory.
I believe that we need to get out of that casual mindset and reap the rewards of fashion. If you put the effort into your appearance you will feel more confident and people will be drawn to you.
Investing in your wardrobe is a boost to your personality in a positive way. I’m not saying you need to put on a three-piece suit to feel good but whatever your career is then make sure your wardrobe choices make you look good, then you’ll feel good.

I like to refer to fashion that never goes out of style when picking a style worn by fashion icons like Cary Grant or Sean Connery or Frank Sinatra. They were all fashion icons in their own right and no matter how often designers change up the style over the years the classics seem to survive.
Some style tips include a single breasted grey suit. This is probably the most versatile suit worn all year. When adding a second suit I personally like navy, that way you can mix and match the two suits using accessories giving multiple looks.
Another traditional look is a dark brown suit with complimentary accessories.

For dress shirts I like to keep it simple choosing white or light blue. The shirt is your canvas that allows many complimentary choices when adding a favourite tie and pocket puff.
