The Professional Textures Capsule Featuring Alec Soghomonian

Meet Alec Soghomonian, a lawyer in New York City with a passion for timeless men’s style. Originally from Los Angeles, Alec’s approach to fashion is refreshingly simple: fewer clothes, better quality.

As a professional who balances a demanding work schedule with life in the city, Alec wanted the good stuff—the kind of pieces that fit perfectly, work together, and make getting dressed ridiculously easy.

That’s where we came in. 

At Articles of Style, we believe in quality over quantity. A capsule wardrobe isn’t about having more—it’s about having better. For Alec, this meant building a cohesive collection of pieces that all work together, so he can create stylish outfits for any occasion without the guesswork.

The cornerstone of Alec’s capsule? A classic blue-and-gray color palette. These neutral tones are universally flattering and endlessly versatile, making them perfect for mixing and matching. The result is a wardrobe that transitions seamlessly from formal to casual, from courtrooms to date nights—without breaking a sweat.

Every piece in Alec’s collection was carefully curated to balance formality and comfort. Here’s what’s included:

• Two tailored suits: These are staples for the office or formal events.
• A versatile sport coat: Adds polish to casual outfits or elevates a suit.
• Two shirts: One dressy, one casual, offering options for any occasion.
• A long-sleeve polo and crew neck sweatshirt: Ideal for layering or relaxed settings.
• A chunky cardigan and corduroy trousers: Texture and warmth for fall and winter.
• A statement coat: Because every capsule needs a little personality.
