The perfect gentlemen

His beauty lies in the details. In the time it takes him to define exactly how he wants to present himself. On any given day, Sunday to Saturday. It's in his swagger as he moves gracefully in a perfectly tailored suit, and it's in he enjoys himself on a special evening out.

The era of the gentleman has returned. And fashion designers are celebrating his presence by ushering in a new era of sartorial splendor. It's an era that reminds men that distinction is a studied art--one that classifies quality as a red carnation on a blue pinstriped suit's lapel. It's the era that proves that luxury is found in carefully crafted cuff links, ties and tie bars. Finally, it's a movement that heralds the refinement that leaves an appreciating eye lingering long after he's gone.

On these pages fashion expert Robert Bryan and our models--Steven Brown, Dar Riser and Rashid Silvera--offer their definition of debonair style.
