No Nationality is known for their edgy cool kid looks, but any guy can rock this brand. If you are looking for something unique to add to your wardrobe this brand is going to be a great addition. NN07 gives you that unique flare without you standing out too much. No Nationality offers so many great products from pants, to polos, basic waffle knit tees, and even some great flannels. The Clive tee from NN07 is a great layering knit as well as a top you can wear with jeans or your favorite shorts. The waffle knit gives the shirt structure and the model gives the knit softness and light feel. The t-shirt has a chest pocket which does make the look more casual. You can still wear it with a sport coat if needed. It's a great basic to add to your wardrobe. If you are looking for a good sweater to added to your fall wardrobe you should ass NN07’s Ted Sweater in Light Khaki Melange. This lightweight wool sweater you can pair it under a sport coat, over your favorite tee and even with a nice pair of dressy shorts. It's great for any climate this fall. Another great sweater to have this fall is No Nationality’s Thor cardigan. For the fashion guy who is looking for the cool factor in every piece of his outfit. This black cardigan is crafted in a smooth wool blend. Knit in a discreet eyelet pattern. I highly recommend this Thor cardigan from NN07 if this is the first cardigan in your wardrobe. We offer NN07’s Cohen long sleeve button down in three different colors from black multi, blue check, and navy blue. The Black Multi Cohen by NN07 is the perfect flannel looks like an allover texture and easily paired with any bottom color. Easily paired with any black, grey, or navy pant. The Blue Check is more of your standard plaid flannel, but being here in Arizona it is not made of the heavy material that you think of when you get a flannel. The Cohen from No Nationality also comes in Navy Blue. The cool thing about the Navy Blue Cohen is that how it is woven up close you can see the texture that is in this shirt. No Nationality’s Ross polo is a casual polo that you will want to add to your wardrobe. You can wear with jeans or your favorite shorts. If you are looking for a polo that doesn’t have any logos on is this is the one for you. I would not suggest wearing this polo under a sport coat because it has an open collar, and it will not look very good. If you are going for a clean look with no patterns or prints this Ross polo is really the best fit for you. To go with all these tops for the fall you need a good pair of pants. No Nationality has the Theo pant which are a clean pair of tailored slacks. It is a trim fit and look and perfect for the office, going out, and every day. If you have a lot of golf pants in your closet and looking for an alternative for that give these Theo pants by NN07 a try. You can dress this pant up or wear it casually with a t-shirt. Upgrade your wardrobe with NN07. Unmatched comfort meets impeccable style. Explore our No Nationality collection for a new level of fashion, new at Q.Contrary.

Dressing for Success with Men’s Business Attire
When you’re working in a professional business environment, you will need to look the part. Looking your best in business attire is a key component for success, whether you’re meeting with clients, presenting at a conference, or making a first impression at a job interview. Understanding how to dress in business attire can boost your confidence and also impress your colleagues and clients—by looking put together and presentable, you will exude professionalism and a commitment to your work. Yes, your clothing can directly contribute to your success! If you’re wondering what to wear to the office, continue reading on for our best recommendations.
What is Business Attire?
From formal business wear to business casual, there are various levels of business attire to consider when planning your look. The type of business attire you wear may depend on your company culture, geographical trends, and your day-to-day work. Some days you may dress more formally for a client dinner, while other days you may dress more business casual in the office—that’s why it is so important to have a range of versatile separates in your wardrobe.
Be Your Most Professional Self in Formal Business Attire
Formal business attire is most common in corporate and traditional professions, such as finance, law, and real estate. A more formal business ensemble would include a suit, consisting of a tailored jacket and dress slacks, plus a button up shirt and leather shoes. For more formal business occasions, you can add a tie that matches the tones of your suit. The color palette should be neutral and dark, such as black, navy, or gray. It should also be exceptionally tailored or even a made-to-measure suit. The fit is key.
For business formal wear, a white button-up shirt is an essential piece to have in your wardrobe. A well fitted button-up with a crisp collar is a must-have for any office and business environment. Having a few tailored button ups will guarantee you always have a smart shirt to wear. In addition to white, you can introduce button ups in other colors that pair well with your suit separates, such as shades of blue or gray.
How to Dress for Your Day in Business Casual
If you’re going into the office on a Friday, or if you have a more relaxed company culture, you might opt for business casual attire. Business casual is a less formal dress code than formal business attire, and it’s more common in the present day and at certain companies, such as tech and startups. These days, men are going into the office without a full suit, yet still look incredibly smart and professional. A business casual ensemble includes a well-fitting shirt and slacks, without a tie or formal dress shoes. Your business casual shirt could be a button-up, knit t-shirt, half zip, or sweater. The pants may be dress slacks, dark denim jeans, or khakis. It’s important to assess your look to ensure you don’t appear too casual—be sure to avoid jeans with holes and ill-fitting garments.
The Finishing Touches
Once you have built a wardrobe and mastered the art of dressing in business attire, the styling doesn’t end there. You should add the finishing touches, including a leather belt with matching shoes. Carefully choose your accessories, such as a tie and dress socks (and make sure your socks match!) Pay attention to your grooming, ensuring your hair is clean and styled. Lastly, check your outfit to make sure it is pristinely pressed. Your clothes should not have any wrinkles or improper creases, and the collar of your shirt should be crisp as it frames your face. If you have any doubts about the fit of your clothing, from the length of your sleeves to the hem of your pants, stop by your local tailor for an expert assessment of the fit. Here at Q. Contrary, we can perfectly tailor your clothes to your build, making you look like the most successful version of yourself.

TravisMathew Sale
When it comes to golf pants and golf polo, TravisMathew is a lot of men’s go to brands to sport. The brand has evolved from just looks for your next tee time to looks you can wear to the office and every day. My clients love this brand and I bought too much product. I asked TravisMathew to take some back to help but they refused. What can you do? I’m marking down the product to help clear some inventory.
If you are new to this golf brand, let me share some of the different pieces and looks that many of my clients love.
Golf Polo – TravisMathew is known for their chest stripe polo and pieced polo. A very clean gentleman look that shows a touch of style and edge but done well. TravisMathew polos fit really true to size and are slightly tailored. It is a very clean tailored fit and not very boxy. I do carry 2XL and 3XL polos if you are a bigger guy and would like a more relaxed look. This brand also does color really well. Meaning, they pick colors that are not very bright but yet are slightly greyed and very wearable.
Golf Shorts – TravisMathew shorts are more relaxed and longer. It is a great look and fit for the guy who doesn’t want a tight or short short. Their shorts have a longer inseam and more room though seat and rise. I carry their beck short which is their most popular short. If you are looking for a great navy or black short, defiantly try the beck short. I also hand-picked fun allover print or micro striped shorts. Still very wearable colors and fun looks when you want something with some style and edge.
Golf Pants – My clients love the open to close pant from TravisMathew. A clean tailored pant with 5 pockets and a luxurious fabric. I carry this pant in 5 colors: navy, black, khaki, dk grey and green. It’s a nice tailored fit but not crazy tight. If you love the beck short, you will love this fit. My clients will wear this open to close pant with their favorite golf polo or even short or long sleeve shirt.
Golf Hats – TravisMathew flex fit hats are everyone’s favorite hat. This fitted is preferred by most of my clients. I love the Arizona and Scottsdale collection they did as well as when they design hats with fun patches. Every golfer needs a great golf hat and TravisMathew makes a great hat.
This is a great time to freshen up your golf polos and golf shorts. Make sure to get your size and favorite polo before they are all gone. If you need help finding a size or question on a color, do hesitate to email me (mary@qcontrary.com). Happy to help.

Mizzen + Main shirts are known for their high-quality performance fabric, which is designed to keep the wearer cool and comfortable in hot and humid conditions. Here are some specific reasons why Mizzen + Main shirts are great for Phoenix heat:
1 Moisture-wicking: Mizzen + Main shirts are made with a unique blend of synthetic fibers, such as polyester and spandex, which are highly effective at wicking moisture away from the skin. This helps to keep the wearer dry and comfortable, even in high humidity.
2 Quick-drying: The synthetic fibers used in Mizzen + Main shirts also dry much faster than natural fibers like cotton. This means that if you do start to sweat, the moisture will quickly evaporate, leaving you feeling cool and dry.
3 Breathable: Mizzen + Main shirts are designed with a lightweight, breathable fabric that allows air to circulate freely around the body. This helps to keep you cool and comfortable, even in the hottest temperatures.
4 Wrinkle-resistant: The performance fabric used in Mizzen + Main shirts is also highly wrinkle-resistant, which means you can look sharp and put-together even on the hottest, most humid days.
Overall, Mizzen + Main shirts are a great choice for Phoenix heat because they are specifically designed to help you stay cool, dry, and comfortable in hot and humid conditions. Additionally, they are stylish and well-made, which is why your male clients love them! My clients wear them all year but especially in the summer when it’s very warm. It’s like wearing a golf shirt but as a button front shirt.
