VIBE presents a style glossary for a more handsome, prettier, sexier, well dressed, healthier you

A- Accessorize Artfully
The perfect piece(s) can swing your profile from good look to masterpiece. Wrong, random or too much accentuation can turn your Rembrandt into an oil mess. Paint wisely.

B- Black Tie Remixed

C- Cocktail sophistication
Choose your spirit with as much discernment as you would a pocket square. There’s appropriate (armagnac post red wine, salmon dinner) and inappropriate (Long Island Iced Teas at the CEO’s power lunch).
