"Party Time"

In the "Real Life" section of today's Calgary Herald, you'll find Carl(pictured above right) and his contemporaries musing over holiday-wear possibilities, while giving sound advice on how-to-not look like a yule log this Christmas. 

Below, an excerpt from Michelle Magnan's article... 


Carl Abad,

Stylist with Artists Within and owner of Worth

- What he's wearing:

Abad pieced together his 15-year-old new Republic vest, nearly-as-old J. Lindeberg pants, John Fluevog shoes and a The Cast scarf from his store, Worth.

"I'm reintroducing old pieces from my wardrobe to make a new look, which is what people have to do."

- His advice:

Abad recommends women "accessorize with anything black and shiny--patent, satin and sequins."

Men who want to look polished should consider wearing a tie and vest, he says.

"(You can) dress it down with denim for casual events and do a three-piece suit for formal," says Abad.

"Ladies love a dapper man."
