LEE, Mass.— From weddings and proms to a nice evening out, Zabian's Clothing will help you find an outfit that is sure to make you feel confident.
 
Third-grade students in Brandon Boule's art class at Lee Elementary School showcased a diverse selection of men's apparel at Zabian's Clothing, located at 19 Main St.
 
The merchandise includes classic and updated traditional styles in suits, sport coats, ties, slacks and jeans, along with more modern and colorful options.
 
"My father was more of a traditional dresser, and that translated it more for him to buy more classic, traditional clothes. For me, I like to be more of an updated traditional guy. I still have the classics, but I put a little spice into it as well," second-generation owner Ali Zabian said.
 
"I love color, so I have a lot of suits and sport coats that are a little bit different than the norm, but I still carry the basic blues and things."
 
The store was established in 1904 and has been at its current location for more than 100 years.
