Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Perhaps the dog days of summer aren’t the time to drape yourself in head-to-toe menswear tweeds. But there is a lighter, more stylish way to adapt the best from his closet NOW: Accessories.

Forget about the fedora. Put away the suit until fall. The tie can wait. But in the meantime . . . .

Squish a soft straw hat down over summer-frizzed tresses. Sling a men’s chain necklace around your waist. Add a pocket watch for interest. Snap a pair of snazzy cuff links into a crisp white shirt.

The key: A touch here and there-worn with a feminine twist.
