We’re wrapping up winter and are headed full force into spring. One brand we would like to highlight is Peter Millar. Peter Millar is a premium American lifestyle brand which produces casual sportswear, tailored dress furnishings, luxury and performance golf attire.

Add Color to Your Golf Attire

One of the best places to show off your colorful wardrobe is on the golf course. Even some of the best golf players like to show their personality through their colorful golf attire.

Did you know that Peter Millar has a performance golf attire line? They do and we sell it at Blaine’s! As you plan your spring breaks and start to get back on the golf course, keep that in mind.

Have you heard the phrase, “It’s all in the details”? We’ll it sure is, especially when it comes to men’s fashion. One reason we choose the designer brands that we carry is because they care about the details, and you can tell. 

Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve noticed multiple details overlooked? Maybe when you’re eating at a restaurant and the plates aren’t evenly spaced, or the table isn’t completely wiped off. Maybe you’re reviewing a co-workers project and there is spelling error after spelling error. Those things are noticeable by some and not as noticeable by others. It’s kinda the same deal with fashion. 

The temperatures keep dropping day by day, and we want to keep you warm while making sure you don’t lose any style points! Cold temperatures are no excuse to not look your best, especially when we have all of the winter essentials for you.

Add a Scarf

Scarves seem to be one accessory that intimidate men more than they should. A scarf is a very simple add on piece that will change your look without very much effort.

We believe in scarves so much that you will rarely see us style a look in our stores without the addition of a scarf.

We have many different styles, colors and patterns to choose from when it comes to a scarf.

Whether you were excited or bummed to see the snowfall this past week, the truth is, winter is here. There’s no more denying those frigid temperatures outside. 

If you’ve been in denial that winter is on it’s way, no worries, it’s not too late to invest in a killer coat this season. We have selected three of our favorites to highlight for this season. 

Accessories can sometimes be functional and other times, they are solely there to add interest, texture or depth to your look.

For example, jewelry such as necklaces or bracelets are solely for the purpose of adding interest and appealing to the eye, whereas a scarf may add more functionality. 

Here are three simple tricks to accessorize your outfit this fall!

Plain sweaters paired over top of a dress shirt no longer do your wardrobe justice. 

Textured Sweater

We love to talk about different patterns and prints being mixed together and a textured sweater is just another way to accomplish that look this fall.

Even small patterns such as a slight diagonal design make your look that much more sharp for this fall season. 

Layering can sound like some intimidating fashion term, when it’s really quite simple. The point of layering is to add some interest into your ordinary look. What makes you go from ordinary to extraordinary is how you style your garments. The key to styling is properly layering. Let’s get into it! 

Layer from Lightest to Heaviest

Layering from lightest to heaviest may sound like common sense, but we’ve seen people try the opposite. We suggest starting with a basic tee and jeans, adding a cardigan, sweater, or long sleeve button up and finish the look off with a jacket. Another option is to wear a simple tee, a jacket and finish the look with a heavy coat, if you’re in need of heavier layers.

Well-fitted Clothing

This isn’t the first time we’ve written about well fitted clothing, and it won’t be the last. Wearing clothes that fit you right is important to woman, but it’s also important when it comes to your professional career. Let’s just say the quickest and easiest way to lose style points is to wear something that isn’t your size. 

We realize the importance of the fit of clothing and that’s why we:

1. Purchase only the best and high quality clothing

2. Have a tailor on site ready to alter 

Whether it’s a suit, a pair of denim, or even a button up shirt, alterations are always encouraged. When clothing looks like it was custom made for you, you automatically look like a 10.

The key to transitioning office wear to resort wear is all about the layers. Just because you may be on a work trip or planning to hit the beach after your meeting doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to skip out on a professional outfit.

All you have to do is bring a lightweight blazer that is perfect for summer and layer it over a tropical printed shirt, a cotton shirt, or even a linen button up.

If you decide not to wear a tie, make sure you're at least sporting a pocket square. Here are some additional ways to transition from office to resort.

Brax Pants

Brax pants are great for a work trip and resort wear. The five pocket style is classic and effortless, while offering lots of stretch for comfort. Wear these pants, on the plane, to your meeting, and out to dinner and you still won’t want to take them off.

Linen Shirts and Sport Coats

When most people think about wearing a sport coat, they automatically think dress shirt and tie. The t-shirt underneath has gotten some more attention recently, but we have another option you should consider this spring.

A linen shirt. Not just by itself, but under a sport coat. A linen shirt is the perfect in between if you don’t want to be super formal or super casual. One of the reasons linen is so favorable in the spring and summer is because linen is highly absorbent and a good conductor of heat. Your linen garment will quickly remove perspiration from the skin which is important especially when you’re layered up in a sport coat.

If you’ve decided to read this article, you’re already off to a great start! If you want to become the best dressed guy in the office, you have to work for it. We will give you all the tips and tricks but it’s up to you to make the first move and actually make it come to life (we can help if you come into our store of course).

Tip 1: Go All Out in a Subtle Way

When we say “go all out”, we don’t mean dress like a clown and wear tons of funky prints together. We mean, don’t take any shortcuts when you’re getting dressed in the morning. Don’t just pick out the first thing that you see and call it a day, but get creative with your outfits and don’t forget your accessories. Pairing jeans with a polo isn’t going to give you the title you’re looking for.

Adding a sport coat, pocket square, snazzy belt and sharp pair of shoes is what will earn you that title.

So you’re preparing for your weekend getaway and you’re wondering what you should be packing. We believe that whether it’s a work trip, bachelor party, vacation, family visit, no matter what the reason is, these five items should be in every man’s suitcase.

The best feeling this winter is, perhaps waking up, and ultimately walking on the streets, still your systems are regulated as if you’re in the summer, warm and cozy. You stay cozy when your body is dry, meanwhile, you stay dry when you’re layered or covered accordingly to the external weather. So to get the best cover, you only have to opt for an appropriate and quality mens outerwear.

Outerwear is this typical attire or clothing that’s worn over other garments, basically outdoors and it’s specially designed to protect the wearers against adverse environmental and extreme weather conditions. Although, there are distinct features like the designs, fabrics, and most importantly the brands, that make mens outerwear carry out these functions as being revealed in this article, and sold by Blaine’s Apparel in Montgomery, Ohio.

Finding Christmas gifts for multiple people can be very challenging and stressful at the same time. We all know that the holidays are meant to be a joyful and peaceful time spent with your family. However, no matter how many times we promise ourselves we won’t get stressed out this year, and we will start our shopping early, we still end up getting overwhelmed and running around at the last minute to grab something.

For all the special men in your life, or perhaps you are shopping for yourself, we have created this list to guide you during your holiday shopping this year. Depending on the specific budget you have in mind, we have more affordable suggestions like a sock and tie combo to more extravagant suggestions like a custom suit or a personal shopping experience.

There is not a single thing more magical nor memorable such as saying “yes” to the person that means the world to you. Saying “yes to spending a lifetime together, traveling the world, and raising children. Nothing more beautiful nor more meaningful.

However, we all know how stressful planning a wedding can be. Months and months of preparation, all for one day. Choosing the place, inviting the guests, flower arrangements, cake tasting, and a number of other things and obligations. Truly we can say that it is a never-ending list.

Somewhere along the road, the time will come, when the bride will have to choose her dress, and accordingly, you will have to choose your suit. Commonly, there is a lot of fuss going on about the type of dress that the bride is about to wear. Is it a mermaids cut dress, or a ball gown?

Well, lately, rightfully we can say that the times are changing and more and more man are choosing their suits months ahead too. Devotion to details, tailoring, customizing, number of fittings, and even sawing a suit from scratch.

Everything, literally everything can be done in order to satisfy your needs!

Owning a suit is an unavoidable part of being a true man. A true man with bold character who is not afraid to show his true colors. Some of the men act like they were born in one, it almost gives them superhero powers. And some although well aware of the advantages of wearing one tend to do mistakes here and there.

Nevertheless, if you are one of the first or the second ones, we could all use some knowledge when it comes how to properly suit-up. Nowadays it has turned into more than practical uniform to wear to work, as we mentioned, it has turned into a statement, and into a way to stand out from the crowd.

If you have purchased clothes in the past merely because they were cheap or “just for fun” garments, then I have a suggestion for you!  Next time to you choose to go shopping, I suggest you change your mindset and perspective. Cheap clothing items may leave you excited the first or second time you wear the garment, but when it is wearing out after only a few times of wearing it, you may be second guessing your decision.

Let’s take you through some important reasons why you should buy for quality, not quantity.

The proper kind of style can have a huge impact on your career or future prosperity in the company that you work for. Yes, you can even “earn” a promotion due to your impeccable style.

Showing that you are committed to details is a great way to prove that you are always willing to go the extra mile and put your best foot forward! An extra mile to look flawless, an extra mile to please your clients, an extra mile to watch the company gradually grow and develop.

Unlike summer and spring where you are always getting undressed, fall makes it possible to wear some fantastic fabrics and feel its warmth and beauty. If you are someone who loves to clothes, then this guide is for you.
