Like many young attorneys in Toledo, Matt Exton is not afraid of a splash of color in his daily outfits—whether it’s on his tie, pocket square or socks. He’s a firm believer that a proper fit is the concept from which all good style emanates. He’s also a shoe-aholic and he also owns a tie clip shaped like a whale. In short, Matt is bound to be wearing at least two conversation pieces at any given time . . . which is what makes him so memorable.
How do you decide what is appropriate to wear for meetings with clients, to court, and for after-work engagements? Do you feel like your style needs to be compromised in any way?
A well fitting suit can be worn in court, in the office, to dinner or other events. A poorly fitting suit will never be appropriate in any setting. I do not feel that my style needs to be compromised. A gentleman does not need to shy away from color to look professional.
Where do you like to shop locally?
I prefer to shop at J Crew and V Concept.
If you could own any clothing item or accessory, what would it be?
Every gentleman should own at least one navy blazer and a pair of wingtips. I’m a fan of double monk strap shoes and believe that they can single-handedly take an ensemble from good to outstanding.
What is the craziest compliment you’ve ever received on an outfit when you were working?
I have received compliments from jurors in trials. They have not only complimented my suit, but also my demeanor when I button my jacket as I stand to address them. Every now and then, someone will call me “GQ”.
