Club Monaco manager Sean Frazier creates dapper, preppy appeal with Northwest-ready layering pieces.
WHY WE LOVE THE LOOK:When in doubt, put on another layer. That is style dogma according to Frazier, who layers (multiple) timeless, classic men’s silhouettes at a time to suit life in all-over-the-map Northwest temps. “I’m drawn to anything I see that has the potential to go over, under, around or with other pieces, like…

A little hint of Paris in Kirkland.
