Last week my husband, Phil, and I had the pleasure of attending the
Nordstrom Men's Shop &
GQ Fall 2013 Runway Show in Bellevue, WA. As co-founders of
Altus Menswear, we know we need to keep up with fashion trends in menswear!
There were a few key statements made during the introduction by GQ Style Expert, Peter St. John, such as emphasizing "looking your best at all times" and "wear it with confidence and you could kill it!" (I made frantic notes in my program so as to get his statements word for word.) Peter's comment about
looking your best at all times really hit home with us. Looking your best translates into wearing apparel that
fits you properly, even if it's just a
T-shirt or a pair of
sweats.

Fashion pieces need to work for you in multiple situations. As Peter St. John continued, "regardless of the trend, it's versatile." We agree! At
Altus we focus on basic, classic pieces for
tall men that provide the
foundation of a versatile wardrobe. Phil's
Organic Cotton Striped Tee is a perfect example. He wore it with a black jacket for our evening out and has worn it with
shorts on relaxing weekends.

The Runway Show ticket sales directly benefited local charities through the
Detlef Schrempf Foundation. Standing at 6'-9" retired Seattle SuperSonics player, Detlef, can easily wear Altus size Extra Tall!
