How to Dress Like a Classic Man with Harrison Blake Apparel Co. Tuesday 12 September, 2017
As a blogger, I know you guys are used to seeing me in photos, maybe even model from time to time but Im not the only one who models. I actually love taking others photos too. I am a natural photographer and getting back to my roots of blogging of capturing myself and others.I don’t know about you all, but I love a dapper man. A classic man like Jidenna, but it seems like many men do not get dressed up as often as they should. Love Jidenna, the coined musical iconic “Classic Man” of our modern times, I wished more men dressed like him! I appreciate casual dressed guys too, but it is something special about a man who pays extra special attention to what they wear. The little details, the color scheme and the overall fashion of their attire. I did a fun collaboration with a menswear line called Harrison Blake Apparel Co. and I asked my good friend Carlton to be my model.
Meet Carlton. I have known him for years and I asked him to be my male model for this Harrison Blake collaboration. He also needed some professional photos for himself as he is a budding author and a Youtuber so this was beneficial for the both of us. He did an amazing job as my male muse for the day. I truly think he did this before or he did some great practicing beforehand, but nonetheless the shots came out amazing and I was able to style him greatly with the Harrison Blake accessories. Harrison Blake has a monthly subscription service and I am going to showcase two of the Monthly Dapper Club items.
This first look is very stylish but very complementary as you can wear this causally or to many different kinds of events. With all of the Monthly Dapper Club packages you will get 1 Necktie + 4 Matching Accessories each month. This look is from the May 2017 Monthly Package (which is still available for ordering); this included maroon anchored designed necktie, matching plaid pocket square, Harrison Blake (HB) branded Dad cap, a ring (not pictured), American flag designed ankle socks (not pictured) and a Harrison Blake collapsable water bottle (not pictured). Check out the styling of the look below.

This next look was a little out the box but it was fun to style. This was also apart of a previous monthly package that came pre-assembled to put together and these items were definitely different for styling purposes. What came with this Monthly package included yellow modern floral necktie, pink camouflaged themed pocket square, gold collar bar, anchor woven bracelet and penny loafer keychain. I think this is a bolded styled look. The man would definitely stand out at any event with this look and the pairing of the accessories. My favorite were the gold collar bar (which goes under the necktie) and the anchored bracelet. Check out the looks below.
This particular look as a whole cannot be bought as a package deal anymore as it is no longer available but there are still so many fun accessories and neckties to spruce up any formal menswear.
The Monthly Dapper Club is an easy way to get all of these accessories per month and helps men style their clothes and take it to the next fashion level. I would highly recommend getting this package if you are a man or the man if your life need new ways to jazz up a suit but do not know where to get the items. Not only is there a Monthly Dapper Club, but also a Floral Tie Club and Bowtie Club.
If you want to just browse around without having to sign up for a certain Harrison Blake club, you can shop by neckties, lapel pins and other accessories. I love Harrison Blake’s accessories tab because its so many items to wear and novelty items that are fun fashion pieces or even great gifts for men. We all know men can be hard to shop for, so for the upcoming holiday this is an easy place to shop online for items for the guy in your life. He will be an instant Classic Man!
Harrison Blake Apparel Co. is a great menswear brand. Its classy, modern and everything is affordable. Harrison Blake Apparel delivers high quality men’s accessories at a great price. The style and variety of products are sure to please any gentleman. Their goal is to become well known by men of all backgrounds to become the go-to retailer for dapper accessories.

I love the collaboration between you and Carlton. That’s so needed in our community. His look was nice and you did a good job on the pictures. I also like a well dressed man.
I like to see men in suites, they look so proper! This is definitely something that I’d love to check out for my husband. The photos are brilliant, perfect for Carlton’s online accounts and portfolio.
I love this outfit. especially the tie. I have been looking for a new suit for my husband to wear for family pictures. I think I’m going to use this post for inspiration.
I work around guys who are into fashion. I always get a kick out of those shoes and ties. I like my boo a little more relaxed myself. My hubs is a cargo pant kind of guy.
Carlton cuts a very dashing figure and he looks like a natural in front of the camera. Love both looks but my Scottish heart skipped a little beat when I saw the plaid pocket square. That’s just perfect 😉
Love the look and style of the apparel. There truly is nothing like a well dressed, professional looking man. I think we as a community are losing this sense of style, thanks for the reminder.
The second look, my goodness does it look good. I love the bight blue blazer (well not really bright blue but it pops) and the yellow Tie with the hint of blue to really tie it all together. My husband doesn’t do suits he doesn’t even do ties but if he did I would for sure have in this piece.
YES!!! Nothing better than a well dressed man. I am so glad that some gentlemen are learning how to find a well fitted suit. I can appreciate someone who wears a suit, but an ill-fitting suit does more harm than good lol Love his looks!
Wow, this is pretty neat. I like that it pretty much makes the statment. All the man needs is a suit, or dress shirt and nice pants and shoes and the kit completes it. I like both ties but that second pocket square I would have to skip. The look is very sharp though!
These are really great photos! I personally don’t like a ball cap with dress clothes, especially suits. I do like both styles he wore; they look great on him. This sounds a great way for men to build up their collection & to learn how to style themselves like Jidenna & the Classic Man.
I normally start shopping ahead of the holiday seasons. My husband is a hard to shop guy as I don’t believe in crappy gifts. Not only the Blake apparel is an excellent gift choice, but it can also be a gift that keeps on giving.
KILLER clean classic look for a black man and still has so much black culture infused. I love this and the collaboration is AMAZING! <3 Well done gentlemen ^.^
Carlton is pulling off this outfit to perfection! I love men in suits, they look so classy. And these different looks all look great I don’t think I can pick a favorite 🙂
He is rocking that style! I love how all of the accessories go perfectly together. I’m also obsessed with men in navy suits now and he sure know how to wear it.

The model looking dapper with the suit and pop of color! He has some great accessories and he rocks them all!

The model is looking good in that suit. I right like how it’s not a boring color. And the tie adds a nice pop.
Looks like this is a great way for men to dress! Would love to share it with my husband/
I like the outfit with the tie, but I prefer the version without the blue cap
I love this classic style. You’re right, not many men dress like this and I wish they did!
Wow – he looks great in his outfit! I’m gonna check out this company and buy my hubby some goodies. Thanks for sharing.
I love a well stressed man in a proper fitting suit! You look really good and that suit is gorgeous!

That’s a sharp look. Nothing like a well suited man! All the details make such an impact! 🙂

These ties and pocket squares are fantastic! I will share this with my husband as he wear a suit everyday to work.

I love your post! photos are all amazing. Personally I prefer the second photo. I love it. the tie, the shades and the looks is just perfect
Love the contrast between the tie and the pocket square.

Yes! My husband is all about classic dressing when it comes to winter and fall fashion. Love every one of these ties!

Those are some awesome ties, especially the one with anchors! I love the watch, too. You look great!

We love Harrison Blake Apparel. The subscription box is the greatest bang for your buck. Babe loves styling up the pieces he receives.

The outfit looks so cool on you … Really the color compliments so well and comes out alive
I liked his first pocket square and the second tie (the yellow one). I also thought the blue suit was classic.
I think you are quite the inspiration for many men, I really like the combination you’ve created, smart but still very cool looking.
Looking very handsome indeed! I wish more men would catch onto similar looks!
Men in suit, look so handsome and sharp. I love the contrasting tie with the indigo blue suit.
Love that you style it nicely! That is important to be able to style even when you have to dress classic.
Your style is amazing, and I feel like every man who hasn’t quite figured out their style should take a look at this post.
The suits are gorgeous! I think my hubby would love this. I especially love the red tie.
KILLER clean classic look for a black man and still has so much black culture infused. I love this and the collaboration is AMAZING! <3 Well done gentlemen ^.^
This is a sharp looking suit! My husband has been wanting a more modern blue suit like this!
OMG! You look amazing and my hubby is into that style. I was wondering what to buy him and now I know.
Carlton is pulling off this outfit to perfection! I love men in suits, they look so classy. And these different looks all look great I don’t think I can pick a favorite 🙂
Love the ties, and the cut of your suit! I am going to have to share this with my hubby! Great post!
I would not have thought about putting that combination together. I wonder if my husband would like some Harrison Blake items.
for the well dressed man for sure
I love the pocket squares! I’ll definitely share with my guy friends.
I think you’re THE ONLY man who could rock a dad cap AND earrings with a suit and make it look classy! You go boy!

CLassy, Smart style. Great information on the club!
Love these looks! There’s always something about a well dressed and styled man! The details are everything!
I love that color of the suit, and it is combined perfectly with the blue and yellow tie.

He is rocking that style! I love how all of the accessories go perfectly together. I’m also obsessed with men in navy suits now and he sure know how to wear it.
I have got a thing for yellow color and therefore loved that yellow tie! It enhances the look of the suit!
Your style picks are so handsome. I’d love to get my husband to dress up some time! I especially like the vibrant ties.
These are really beautiful pictures.I like all these designs of ties.Suits look very neat too.Carlton looks handsome in these suits…
this is such a clean look – I love the suit! very well fitting, and accessorized well.
I like your fashion shots. We hardly see guys doing stuff like that, so it’s definitely nice to see some for a change!
Wow!! I really like your neck tie. You looks so handsome on your suits.
