There’s something about a guy who knows how to look sharp and comfortable at the same time, and who does this better than an on-the-go fashion journalist?

For this feature – on how to look good on the move – we tapped Sean Hotchkiss, a genuine down-to-earth guy, golf style aficionado and writer for the GQ Eye.

“I’ve always loved writing, clothing and golf…it’s been great to be able to combine the things I’m passionate about into a career path.”

Here Sean shows us how he gets around town and never misses a beat in style.

1. Business Top/Active Bottom

“I’m on the go a lot and versatility is important to me when choosing my clothes. For this look, I think the denim and sneakers do a good job of balancing out the tie and jacket without looking out of place. With this I can attend a more formal event uptown, then easily transition to covering a more laid-back scene downtown.”

Jacket and sneakers by  J. Lindeberg. Shirt by Paul Stuart. Tie by Polo Ralph Lauren. White denim by RL Rugby.

2. Soft and Breezy

Bonus Tip: “I’d advise getting an unstructured and/or unlined blazer asap. If it’s a versatile color (like khaki or navy) you could pull it off every day of the week if you needed.”

Bonus Tip II: Socklessness is fairly mainstream now (at least in NYC and major cities). “If I have to wear anything where socks are required, I’m not going.”

Bonus Tip III: “This RL alligator chicklet belt is my absolute favorite. It works very well for golf and is simple yet elegant.”

3. “Slippers” to the “Office”

Bonus Tip: Velvet slippers in the place of loafers is a fresh twist, and certainly gives you a style bump. Just save the solid black ones for formal events, and be easy with the bold crescents.

Bonus Tip II: Beltless jeans add a laid-backness to a look, which is great for summer when things get a little more casual all around.

Bonus Tip III: Green in the summer tie, slight green-ish hue to the denim, green velvet loafs, green-ish bracelets – this guy is no style rookie.

4. A Simple Accessory Can Go A Long Way

Bonus Tip: Khaki & Navy color pallete works every time, on just about everybody.

Bonus Tip II: Invest in some sleek classic sneakers – the clunky air force ones and colorful Jordans aren’t quite business-casual.

Thanks, as always, for reading – and special thanks to Sean for participating!

Plenty more great features to come.

Yours in style,

SB
