as an updated must-have for guys, adds Julian. “This U-shape is all about muted and neutral colors of gray, stone and heathered finishes. These T-shirts work well when worn under a cardigan sweater or layered under zip jackets.” Gray has a rich heritage in the menswear world, too. As brands like Levi’s, Gant, Burberry and Lacoste look to their pasts for design inspiration, the style worlds of American work wear and Ivy League prep come to life in classics reborn for today’s men. Look for iconic items — from trench coats to oxford shirts — in grays that range
from washed and worn hues to vintage and rugged. Knitwear also goes with gray this season in jackets, blazers and cardigans, bringing softer dressing to the forefront, according to Julian. “Adventurous types may gravitate toward short-belted knit coats,” he says. “And more traditional men may like the double-knit zip-front jacket to pull together a tailored look with shirts, tie and trousers.” In other words, guys, you can’t go wrong with going gray. “Gray is a foolproof addition to the closet,” says Julian. ∆
GOING THROUGH — From Pg. 19 as bank names, account numbers, contacts and their numbers, but it’s a lifesaver if ever needed.
Divorce adds a lot of pressure to already busy lives, so be prepared in advance with the right support system.
Shore Up Your Support This is not the time to be a martyr and go it alone. If you do find yourself in divorce proceedings, you are going to need lots of advice. This isn’t just about your best friend’s shoulder to cry on (though you’ll certainly need that, too), but it’s about finding the right lawyer, talking to the right real-estate professionals, etc. Ask family and friends who may have gone through a divorce for their advice on seeking the right counsel. You’ll also need support in other ways, so see if you can get your best friend to watch the kids while you schedule your conference with the lawyer.
Divorce File If you thought your paperwork pile was out of control before, a divorce makes it much worse. It is a serious undertaking with plenty of legal documents, correspondence, meeting notes and other papers. It can be tempting to throw everything in a box, but we recommend getting a binder or accordion folder to keep everything organized. That way, you’ll know you have everything you need when and where you need to access it, and won’t waste precious time looking for a piece of paper you know you have but just can’t put your finger on. ∆
