What to Wear with a Classic White Shirt: 2

Heather — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 19:43:19 +0000

Typically, a lot of guys pair their white button up shirts with a solid colored blazer. Guys, that is just a little too solid, so why not take a walk on the wild side?

Barring that, at least take a stroll on the striped side of things. A striped blazer can make you look quite chic — and face it, pinstripes can only make an outfit look ten times better.

Plus, stripes are still considered conservative, so your blazer will be as perfect at the office as it will be after hours.

Navy blue and black work quite well, with stripes in the color of your choice. Grey with white stripes is also an excellent choice.

But hey, if blazers just really are not your think, why not try wearing a funky, patterned hoodie with your white shirt? It will work better than you think it will.

Men’s Suits: Come on Guys, Clean It Up!

Heather — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 19:23:08 +0000

So to be honest, I have known quite a few guys that simply had no idea what to do with a suit! They had no idea how to wear one, what to look for when buying one and certainly had no idea what to look for in the sense of color of fabric. Well guys, it is time to clean it up, after all, in this day and age with everyone going to job interviews, you absolutely need to make sure that you have some kind of suit available to you!

So now that you have the basics down (that you need to have a suit in other words), it is now high-time you start looking for a suit. There are many, many different suits available it all just depends on what your style is, what you are looking for and what exactly you want – and of course what is stylish!

This year it is all about the cut – classic tailoring, classic looks and a modern yet masculine silhouette is exactly what it in right now. Throw in a double breasted pocket suit and you have yourself a great and fashion-forward piece of clothing! So go on, get yourself a great suit, you definitely will not regret it!

Men’s Fashion: What’s Hitting Stores In ’09? Part 2!

Heather — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 16:17:29 +0000

Now you may be thinking that I am just throwing up women’s clothing in hopes that men will finally switch over and everyone will cross-dress right? Wrong! It looks like suit jackets are finally softening up and this is just one of the many examples of it! This lovely … sample, is from Bottega and honestly, the price of this ‘suit jacket’ is over one thousand dollars.

Now even though I love a man who can pull off a skirt and a girl’s top, I can not see any guy actually walking into anywhere with this suit coat on. Personally? I hate it, but if you are looking to soften up your style, this is a great way to do it! Also, gay men … this is for you! Seriously, don’t you just love it?

More to look forward to in ’09 in the next post guys, hang onto your caps!

Narcisso Rodriguez Spring/Summer 2008 Men’s Collection

Tom — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 03:29:24 +0000

This is a wonderful collection for the classically minded gentleman. Not that you have to be a gentleman, but the suits would sure make you look like one. Everything, from the classic suits to the shorter versions of the classic suits, make this a wonderful collection. It’s definitely a nice change from some of the designer collections that are out there. This menswear line is full of pieces that are completely wearable to any occasion. The designs look highly comfortable, and would conveniently go from office to night on the town. Perfect.

Fendi Spring/Summer 2008

The Fendi menswear line for spring is fabulous. From the classic blazers to the casual shorts, everything is perfect. The colors are great, even the bright yellows. After all, men like to wear color too, right? There is no rule that says men can’t wear canary yellow. Now, the shorts with the blazer look is great. I love that one. There is also a suit with a sheer pullover shirt over the shirt and tie, but under the jacket (hope that wasn’t too confusing). That suit is great, the picture is below so you can check it out for yourself.

J. Lindeberg Spring/Summer 2008 Runway Collection

Tom — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 03:31:38 +0000

J. Lindeberg has done a fabulous job with loosely fitting clothes, and the use of sheer fabrics in men’s designs. The sheer shirt under the semi-sheer and very lightweight cardigan is a great look for spring. Add to that the very cool shoes, and the scarves on practically every design, and it made for a great runway show. The colors, whites, off-whites, and creams, as well as the darker hues, are a great look for spring and summer. I especially like the blue leather (or pleather?). The bright color is fabulous and the look is just plain sexy. The whole collection sort of gives you the Red Baron (you know the pilot) feeling.

Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2008

Tom — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 04:05:10 +0000

Calvin Klein is like Gucci and Versace, a fashion staple. Now, admit it, you know you own at least one thing from Calvin Klein. Even if you don’t, this new line will have you wanting to. Lots of leather abounds in this one, from jackets to pants, and the pieces all look entirely comfortable, while still holding their class. The orange muscle shirt, although I wouldn’t have chosen it to wear to the office, still looks great with a suit. All these pieces are casual/dressy, and that sure can make for a great wardrobe.

Alessandro Dell’Acqua Spring/Summer 2008

Tom — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 04:07:14 +0000

This is a great collection. All the pieces are fabulous and well fitted. The sheer shirt is a must if you want to show off all those muscles and that washboard stomach come summer. As far as the shoes, well, pink shoes on men? I guess, like I always say, to each his own. The other shoes are great, and I really like the casual style of all the pieces. I love something that can go from the office to the club, and this collection is full of pieces like that, if you can get past the pink shoes, that is.

Byblos Spring/Summer 2008

Tom — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 04:02:01 +0000

Now this is more like it. There have been some very, how do I say it, unique clothing lines that I have posted for you this season, and Byblos just happens to rank up in my list of top 5. The suits are nice, I especially like the long, tied up belt look. I wasn’t too fond of the pants/skirt or whatever it was. It made me think of MC Hammer, but anyway the rest of the collection was good. The blazers are very cool, and for the most part, the pants were great. The colors and styles are great for warmer weather, so overall it is a great collection.

Tommy Hilfiger Spring/Summer 2008 Collection

Tom — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 03:22:29 +0000

Okay, Tommy Hilfiger is sort of an icon when it comes to fashion, men’s and women’s. His new Spring/Summer 2008 line is no exception. The basic blazers, the button up shirts, even the patterned trousers, are all vintage Tommy. I like it though, even the pink. And believe me there is a lot of pink in this new line; pink shirts, pink jackets, even pink pants. The seahorse print is strangely attractive, too. Overall, I think Tommy Hilfiger has done what he always does, produce a line that people will love, even pink haters.
