A Trip to the Opera

For Fernando Ruiz, currently a photography student at the Art Institute of Phoenix, dressing up is about being presentable yet approachable-- and a whole lot of compliments.
"Sometimes, you see someone dressed really nice, and they're kind of intimidating. Or Barney from How I Met Your Mother who wears a nice suit everyday as a sex object, I wouldn't want to be something like that."
How classy is that?
Fernando has worn the featured look to church but can also see himself wearing on a nice night out to see an opera or a play.
"I would like my formal wear to sing something by Sinatra or Michael Buble. 'Me and Mrs. Jones' [by Michael Buble]."
The savvy shopper gets his fashion finance smarts from a cousin who has taught him to be 100 percent sure about everything he buys. For example, pieces of this outfit have been part of much more casual ones.
"I do wear them separately. Like my boots I wear them with jeans, especially in the winter. And the shirt I've worn with shorts and white shoes before."
