The latest “steal his style” look comes from the latest feature out of GQ. Ever since professional baseball player Alex Rodriguez started dating J-Lo (Jennifer Lopez), his style level has been bumped up a tad. Okay, significantly. As stylish and influential J-Lo is, you best make sure your tush is up to par.
The outfit
The getup is ridiculously simple, and that’s the whole idea behind this versatile summer sure hitter.

• A crisp, white, fitted dress shirt
• Tailored or slim-fit trousers or fitted chinos in neutral colours like beige or the lightest shade of brown
• Suede Chukka boots
• Classic sunglasses with acetate frames, keyhole bridge and grey lenses with a round shape
• A classy wristwatch or complimenting bracelets
Clocking-in
Styling this combo, again, is easier than most. When you’re at the office, and a full-on suit is not required, the best way to sport this outfit is in the subtle details. For one, keep everything buttoned all the way to the top. You can also take a step further and air-tie the shirt, which means also buttoning the uppermost button. Let the sleeves reach your wrists and make sure the shirt is ironed and tucked into your trousers.
The trousers won’t have too much work to do, apart from making sure the hemline falls or breaks right above the ankles. Apart from the styling, make sure your trousers are made of light fabrics like a cotton or linen blend. Also, forget the belt. With or without belt hoops, tailored or fitted trousers have no need for a belt.
Clocking-out
When all the hustle and bustle of the work place is finally out of the way, we take things outside of the office walls. With the same outfit, unbutton the top two buttons, roll your sleeves up and put on your best smile. And if it’s during the weekend, sport your new shades and kick the cool attitude to fifth gear. The accessories can be swapped out too. While you were in work mode, your watch was just enough. Liven things up in a more casual and cool fashion with added bracelets to compliment your watch and the rest of the outfit.
