The competition gets hotter as American Idol gets down to its Top 8 contestants. America tunes in every week as these talented young stars-in-the-making battle it out for the coveted title of American Idol. Tonight’s elimination episode will feature a Ford commercial featuring the top 8. Three of the guys, Scotty McCreery, Stefano Langone and James Durbin, will be rocking suits by Howe. Judging from their face makeup on some behind-the-scenes photos we've seen, it will be a zombie-themed commercial!

Refining your look doesn’t have to be an over-the-top, made-for-television makeover. It can be as simple as adding a blazer or slim-fitting button-up to your clothing collection. There are a few items every guy should have in his closet to go from fair to debonair.

At last month’s Milan Fashion Week, blazers were a reoccurring trend in menswear, signaling an upcoming plethora of choices in the fall. From blazer pairings with tailored shorts to skinny ties and buttoned shirts, it’s clear that the biggest names in fashion have settled upon the blazer as the ideal ensemble topper. The Howe Personal Jesus is a slim-fitting, polyester-viscose blazer (also available in denim) with four-button cuff that can be worn for any occasion. If you are trying to go more rockstar with your look, the house of Alexander McQueen offers the trendy, peak-lapelled McQ Mini Check Blazer to top of your outfit.

Nothing is more beneficial for the dapper gentleman than a versatile button-up. The Diesel Sfet Shirt can be dressed up with a blazer or worn on its own for a cleanly casual get-up. The zip closure chest pocket and shoulder epaulets that have become trademark of the Diesel brand make this a stylish addition to your wardrobe. If you prefer a little more color, the DKNY Jeans Long Sleeve Doublefaced Shirt can give your outfit the contrast you’re looking for. The tasteful plaid, cuffs and snap-button front make this a handy button-up for your next happy hour.

Looking like a million bucks doesn’t have to be hard. An easy blazer or shirt can take your style to the limit. Zappos.com has all the items to help sophisticate your style.
