Five Easy Pieces: Zachary Prell

Zachary Prell used to work in finance.

Now he teaches men how to dress better for a living.

Coincidence? (Har.)

All jokes aside, the eponymous designer just began offering private styling appointments in his New York showroom.

Shoot them a quick email to book your appointment and you’ll be on your way to a one-on-one walkthrough of the best new collections and some savvy wardrobe advice. Whether you need to shake up your entire look or just want to know the difference between and , they’ve got you covered, quite literally.

To take the new service for a test run, we asked Prell to put together the perfect casual outfit for fall.

From Italian trousers so lightweight you’ll forget you’re wearing them to a superlative shirt jacket, here it is, in five easy pieces.

Rushmore
“This is my go-to pant. Seriously, I’m wearing them right now. The trousers, made from an Italian micro-weight wool and cotton stretch blend, are stamped with a faint chalk stripe that allows you to go from day to night seamlessly.”

Higgins
“With its tucked rib stitch and tonal mélange yarn made in Italy, this sweater provides a much-needed touch of sophistication to the classic quarter-zip sweater. We have it in three colors for fall, but I love the coffee as a layering piece.”

Seymour
“The Seymour, a lightweight wool stretch shirt jacket, is one of our key transitional pieces this season. Inspired by our shirt, I love the silhouette this gives when put on top of an outfit. I also love the pop of its fire engine red trim.”

“ is truly unique because of its space-dyed fabric made exclusively by Albiati for Zachary Prell. Lightweight, super luxurious in feel and classic in color, is a great basic to start any look.”

Sullivan Boot
“Armando Cabral, a longtime supporter and a close friend of mine, designs exceptional Italian leather shoes and boots here in New York. Complimenting my style perfectly, this navy suede shoe, the Sullivan, is my go-to with dark denim or a dressier trouser like the Rushmore.”
