Today is our first “official” #MensStyleMondays post for this season!

In preparation for autumn, I just put away all of my summer and spring clothes. Unfortunately, I may have jumped the gun since its still 70 to 80 degrees outside. It looks like I’ll be wearing tweed vests, knitted neckties, and wool blazers until March or April.

Okay, maybe I exaggerated just a little bit, but I do plan on wearing these clothes for a long time.

With all that being said, I put together a little autumn inspired look for this post. Check out the full outfit details below.!

Waistcoat: Macys | Button-Down: Ralph Lauren | Necktie: Urban Outfitters | Chinos: GAP | Socks: Ralph Lauren | Shoes: Thrifted

If you are that gentleman with a very short torso, here is a little pointer. Try to invest in something that will help elongate your upper body.

Depending on your style preferences, you may have a different opinion than myself. Personally, I love wearing waistcoats to help camouflage my short torso.

Here is what I love about them:

1) Waist coats are very adjustable. Simply adjust the strap in the back, and you can have a very form fitting vest.

2) Depending where you shop, waist coats are very affordable. For instance, the waistcoat I wore today was purchased on sale for $15, which was a steal!

3) Waist coats are made in a variety of styles and colors. In the pictures shown above, I am wearing a wool vest. Technically, I own at least eight waistcoats that I wear on a regular basis but the wool one is my personal favorite.

For the rest of my outfit, I focused on minor details. Take the burgundy, white, and black printed polka dots for instance. I carried this print throughout my socks and pocket square. The polka dots add something different to my look.

Anyone that knows me understands why I love Big Brother on CBS!

“Big Brother?! That show still comes on?”

Yes, my favorite show still comes on at least three times a week. If you have never heard of Big Brother before, let me give you a quick rundown on how things work. You take fourteen to sixteen of the most controversial individuals from around the country, lock them in a house for ninety seven days, and throw in a few curve balls and twists to stir up the game. With that formula, Big Brother is made.

After sixteen complete seasons, Big Brother still manages to create reality television stars over night. For instance, during season sixteen, we saw an obsessed cowboy, a sassy pastor, a hot mother of three, a groundskeeper, a beautiful model, and a famous pop singer’s older sibling win the hearts of America. Well, some of these houseguests were hated by America, but you get the point.

This season, there was one pre jury houseguest that stuck out to me the most, and she goes by the name Amber Borzotra. Although her game was cut short after being the target of a newly formed alliance, Amber continued her humanitarian efforts outside the house with her #TeamAmber #BB16 t-shirts. Take some time to check out my fully custom #TeamAmber shirt below!

T-Shirt: #TeamAmber | Denim Jacket: Levis | Khakis: ASOS

There are two reasons why I love this shirt so much. Number one, its full customizable. For a little bit extra money, you can change the color and style on the shirt. I purchased a medium sized, men’s tee in the mint color. I have to say this shirt is very appealing. It went great with my denim jacket, khakis, and desert boots.

Second, all the proceeds from the shirts will be donated to the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, which is one of the foremost cancer research and treatment facilities in the United States. The website itself states, “This is in tribute to Amber’s family, which has been touched by cancer all-too-often, including Amber’s stepfather Brian, whose passing Amber has discussed on the Live Feeds, and also to the Grande Family, through whom the loss of Frankie’s grandfather has been felt throughout the Big Brother community.”

You can’t help but commend a woman that is striving to make the world a better place. If you are interested in a shirt, head over to http://aborzotra.com/teamamber-t-shirts-funds-charity/ for more information. Also, follow Amber on her journey on Instagram @amberborzotra.
