Elias El-indari, the style-conscious founder ofSMF Blog, trains his expert eye on better menswear. The 23-year-olddigital influencerand fashion writer has teamed up with notable companies in the MENA region –a range that spans gentlemen's timepieces to fine clothiers- and most recently with Google Arabia for an interesting digital exploration trip in Europe. With impressive engagement across his digital platforms, the young professional shares a mixture of content that includestravel and lifestylein addition to his main focus of fashion. Given his aforementioned track record, when it comes to matters of style, let's just say that it'd be wise to follow in El-indari's footsteps. "Other than a beautiful handmade Italian shoe, a timepiece is my favorite accessory," he says. "Every gentleman should invest in a timepiece that suits his lifestyle. Whether it be a sporty,classic or a vintage watch,它带给你真正的特征。”

Other fashion forward pointers? El-indari says when you make aninvestment in an executive wardrobe, youneedto make an effort to maintain it as well. "My top tips when it comes to taking great care of a suit are to rotate your suits during the working week," he says. "Get the right size, and tailor to measure whenever possible. Do not dry clean unless absolutely necessary, hang with care, and use a steam iron.

WHAT HE'S WEARING

"This Italian-made Dior Homme three-piece suit is part of the House's Winter 2015 menswear collection. The two-button jacket with a tailored lapel in grey and a striking Prince of Wales check guarantees aformal, elegant look. The suit's material of wool and cashmere ensure flexibility and ultimate comfort as you constantly move around during the day. The concealed button waistcoat -a favorite- helps create a clean and charismatic look. Agood briefcaseis an essential accessory, as it helps keep everything intact, safe and in the one place for when you're on the move. The Dior sunglasses are perfect for everyday wear with cutting-edge design for an on-trend look. When focusing on asuit, you do not want to draw away any attention from it with another statement piece, so a pair of black,simple, clean tassel loafersis prefect for the three-piece suit. It's a little different as it leans more to an Italian-inspired look, but different is always good."

THE ACCESSORY

A pocket square is a gentleman's wardrobe staple in my opinion. They help add character to a suit orsmart casualensemble, differentiating you from the rest. Your tie and pocket square do not always have to match. Bend the rules a little and play with contrasting colors."

THE THREE-PIECE SUIT

Personally, I think men constantly associate a three-piece suit with a special occasion such as a wedding or gala dinner- that prevents men from taking advantage of thebold outfit. I highly encourage gentlemen to wear a three-piece suit to the office. Its boldness and professionalism will help you to look damn good when walking through those doors in the morning.
