Look 1: Fashion Minimalist
Styled by Phillip Salem, owner of Owen

While the dark-gray suit errs on the traditional side, the gleaming-gold ceramic bow tie and black cotton button-up steer the outfit more toward the avant-garde. Salem especially likes the shirt because it’s “soft, yet fitted, so you’re not stiff when dancing.” The general lack of accessories (save for the tie) streamlines the look, which is anchored by eye-catching walnut shoes.
