Stylist Paul Fearon’s commitment to elevating wardrobes extends beyond attire,—it is a cultural movement back to elegance in a world where casual reigns. His brand, Male Fashion Geek, encompasses a clothing line with suits for men and women along with a personal styling practice guided by a mission to resurrect the classy and distinguished gentlemen of bygone eras.
Fearon’s style originates from his days as a youth in Jamaica, drawing inspiration from his father’s eye-catching ensembles at the head of the pulpit along with the bankers in sharp suits doling out fashion and finance with precision. Fearon followed in their footsteps, joining the world of banking in style, mastering not only the world of business but the art of tailoring. Fearon’s career path, taking him from Jamaica to Toronto and South Florida, expanded his fashion exposure to a diverse range of fabrics, silhouettes, and color combinations, leading him to eventually begin styling others.
Fit and tailoring are at the heart of Fearon’s style practice, serving as the backbone of any good outfit. “My tailor is my best friend—whether casual, formal, whatever attire as long as it is nicely tailored, it makes a major difference.” Fearon shared. When it comes to Fearon’s fashion don’ts, poor fit is a top offender, citing details like extra fabric on the foot of the leg as an indicator of lack of effort, a detriment to any outfit.
Once the right fit is established, Fearon shifts his attention to detail to signature touches like color blocking and accessorizing, using brooches, beads, and cufflinks to take his clients’ style to the next level. His love for accessories was evident at the Best Dressed photoshoot, his majestic red and gold brooch adding a majestic touch to his playful polka dot tie and fun argyle sock combo. Fearon’s dedicated and customized approach not only transforms wardrobes, it transforms the personal brands that shape the leaders of tomorrow.
As Fearon continues to shape the world of fashion, one suit and ensemble at a time, he expands not only his brand but the preservation of class and distinction in modern style. Paired with vision and versatility, Paul’s mission to transform fashion makes him one of M•I•A ’s top style contenders.
