ATLANTA STYLE IS & "Definitely outside the box. We have all four seasons here, so our city's style has no limits. Ever." Brown wears a charcoal gray Salvatore Ferragamo suit with a Gap dress shirt and black lace-up shoes from Banana Republic.

A FASHION PET PEEVE: "Shirt/tie packages from department stories. The shirts are usually mustard yellow packaged with a cherry-colored tie. Not cool." Brown straightens his vintage pink-patterned bowtie, which he wears with a windowpane shirt from Gap.

COLLECTIBLES: "Suits, neckties, bow ties, pocket squares." Brown has more than 100 ties, many of which were bought at Jos A Bank.

Brown shows off his black leather Kenneth Cole watch.

SIGNATURE STYLE: "Modern, JFK-esque, matter-of-fact." Brown wears a Gap canary yellow dress shirt from under a blue blazer from Goodwill. Brown accessorizes with an H. Stockton pocket square.

Brown's blue blazer features vintage gold buttons.

Brown proves you don't have to spend a lot to look good. His outfit includes a Gap dress shirt, blazer from Goodwill, Merona vest from Target and chino slacks from Banana Republic.

FAVORITE STORES: "Banana Republic, H&M, Stefan's in Little 5 Points, Zara, Brooks Brothers." Brown complements his Banana Republic dark brown wingtip shoes with Polo Ralph Lauren argyle socks.

BEST FIND: "Salvatore Ferragamo suits." Brown wears a navy pinstriped one along with a plaid Jos. A. Bank necktie and silk pocket square from Robert Talbott.

BIGGEST SPLURGE: "Pocket squares from H. Stockton at $70 a piece. I stopped doing that." Brown pairs a silk pocket square from Robert Talbott with a plaid Jos. A. Bank necktie.

A WEAKNESS: "Aside from pocket squares, it would be suits, for sure. I have nearly 20 suits that I wear for different purposes. That's excessive, I know." Brown's navy pinstripe Salvatore Ferragamo suit is worn with a dress shirt from Roundtree & Yorke and Banana Republic shoes.

FAVORITE LABELS: "Salvatore Ferragamo, Adam Zyo, Ralph Lauren." Brown wears a dress shirt from Polo Ralph Lauren with a pair of plaid houndstooth pants from H&M. Completing the look is a watch from Kenneth Cole, shoes from Aldo and Armani sunglasses.

Brown has a collection of nearly 50 bowties, many of which were purchased from thrift and vintage stores like Stefan's Vintage Clothing and Goodwill.
