Tailory Founder Shao Yang Weighs In on Presidential Style and the Power of Modern Tailoring When it comes to power dressing, the details matter. As the 2016 presidential race heated up, The New York Times turned to Shao Yang, founder of The Tailory New York, for expert insight on Donald Trump's wardrobe choices. Yang's assessment was clear: expensive doesn't always mean effective. While Trump favored high end labels like Brioni and Martin Greenfield Clothiers, his outdated fit was working against him. Because in tailoring, as in politics, it's not just about what you wear. It's about how you wear it.

The Graphic Jacket as Cultural Statement The graphic jacket occupies the same cultural position that sampling held in hip-hop production during the late 80s—simultaneously dismissed by traditionalists and embraced by individuals who understood that authenticity emerges through sophisticated recombination rather than rigid adherence to established categories. Your aesthetic intelligence evolved past the Tommy Hilfiger logo worship of the early 2000s; contemporary graphic applications deserve the same cultural sophistication you bring to every other wardrobe decision.

Mastering Effortless Tailored Confidence  Ellen DeGeneres has elevated the custom suit into her signature, an art form balancing precision tailoring with effortless ease. Whether hosting her daytime show in perfectly cuffed trousers paired with fresh sneakers or commanding red carpets in impeccable formal wear, Ellen demonstrates that true style confidence comes from clothing engineered to your exact specifications. Her approach is masterful: At a 2014 Twitter event, she paired expertly fitted Black Watch plaid trousers with a navy tuxedo jacket featuring black satin lapels, crisp white button-down, and patent leather Oxfords—elevating classic menswear with sophisticated polish. Yet she never abandons her signature quirk: suede Chelsea boots with contrasting tan soles alongside wife Portia de Rossi's coordinated formal attire, or stone-colored lace-ups and aviators with a light grey tweed blazer for Wimbledon. From Converse and sweater vests to Dolce & Gabbana suits and eye-catching prints, Ellen proves that custom tailoring isn't about conformity—it's about expressing authentic confidence through precision fit and personal flair. Her "Hamptons school-boy" aesthetic demonstrates what we champion at The Tailory New York: when your suit is tailored flawlessly to your body and style, you wear it with ease, personality, and unstoppable presence.
