Designer Joseph Abboud

Gentlemen,  mark your calendars for this special event:

Menswear designer Joseph Abboud will showcase his new line, Black Brown 1826, at the Belk/Riverchase Galleria next Thursday.  The contemporary menswear line is sold exclusively at Belk and Lord & Taylor stores.  The event (okay, it’s a party!), which begins at 6 PM, will feature fabulous prizes, music, craft beer tasting from Olde Mecklenburg Brewery and even complimentary cigars for the first 50 guests.  Guests will have a chance to win a $500 Black/Brown 826 wardrobe and a weekend trip to Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Ross Bridge!  Appetizers and wine will be on deck via the B&A Warehouse.

Guys, if you’re stuck in a style rut (I mean, how many times can one wear khaki pants and a blue shirt? Come on.) then you need to be at Belk next Thursday from 6 PM to 9 PM.  Black Brown 1826 is advertised as “clothing and sportswear designed for the way real men really live,” and includes a range of options for the well-dressed gent: suits, dress
