In a buttoned-down place like Charlotte, this buttoned-down store “suits” men just perfectly, with wool, poplin and seersucker classics. (Expect to pay between $500-700 per.) And cool sweaters and vests are perfect for Casual Fridays. Wrap it up with a dress shirt and a slanty-stripe tie, and you’re ready for your next 7:30am meeting.
Brooks Brothers, 4400 Sharon Road. 704-367-1900.
