Heather — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:00:32 +0000

Leather – where to begin on the leather trend. We all know that leather is a huge, huge trend for women this winter, but I have to say that men are getting the best of it too. Leather jackets are certainly a staple for men this winter and it really doesn’t matter the style.

This is just one of the many styles that you can choose from and one of the many colors – because really, you can pick any color as long as it is leather. The great thing about leather jackets is that they are extremely warm, which fits in very well with the wintertime.

So this season, if you have a leather jacket guys that you have been dying to wear, get it out, for this is the newest trend in menswear!

A Peek at Preppie Fashion Trends

Heather — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 20:46:19 +0000

To be a true fashion prince, you have to try to see the value in every emerging trend. For bonus points, you should consider giving it a try. Remember, there are merits to every style, and at least one place where wearing a particular style is perfectly acceptable, even encouraged.

The same goes for the prevalent preppy style. One apparently must have piece for preppies the world over this summer and fall is, evidently, a baseball jacket. It is the height of Americana, and there is something wholesome and thus attractive about what it provokes.

This is the G10 Slimfit Sport Harrington Jacket, and it is available for about one hundred and thirty dollars at British born Baracuta.

Also in for the preppy passion this season are lightweight sweaters, such as cardigans and shawl necks. White is an acceptable color here. This article is appropriate for actually wearing or for casually looping over the shoulders.

Military Trend: It’s Hott For Guys!

Heather — Sat, 16 May 2009 17:37:18 +0000

So let’s talk military trend. Now personally, I did not think that this trend would take all that well on the runway, but it did! It totally took and although these looks will be seen more in the fall and winter months, just know that they are coming! Seriously, they look pretty freakin’ cool too, then again – I am a gothic chick, so I absolutely love the darker side of things.

Now mainly, these designs are by Gareth Pugh, who is known for his off-the-wall designs and known for some of the coolest and darkest runway shows in the world. Personally, I would love to meet this particular designer for putting pretty boys in things like in this picture!

So look out guys! This look is coming sooner than you think!

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!

Light Gray Gucci Suit

Tom — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 03:15:44 +0000

If that’s not one amazingly classy suit I don’t know what is. This grey plaid wool 3-button suit with flat front trousers by Gucci has a three-button front with notched lapel and four decorative buttons at cuff, flap-besom convertible pockets with single chest pocket and three interior pockets and angled front pockets, slit waist pocket and rear button close besom pockets.

I just ordered one for under $2,000 at Bluefly.

Rick Owens Spring/Summer 2008

Tom — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 03:53:06 +0000

Rick Owens is a true designer. Let’s get that out of the way before we even look at the clothes — but let’s also keep that in mind. He’s a true designer, and he DESIGNS clothes. He’s not going to be making your everyday sweaters and shirts, but he is doing something called innovation — called creative fashion — called designing.

I’m not going to buy these pieces. I’m not going to consider buying these pieces. But they’re great in their own way, and they’re designed to the greatest details. The looks have just been upped on the Rick Owens website – so I suggest you check it out while you’re at it. Enjoy!

Martin Margiela Spring/Summer 2008

Tom — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 04:03:11 +0000

If you like a little unordinary look about you, then Martin Margiela is the one to watch out for. The designs, although not unusual, were completely topped off with the wildest shoe colors. The clothes themselves are great, the detailing in the black shirt in the picture below is fabulous. I don’t dislike “loud” shoes, I think they’re great. Some may not agree, but they do seem to grab your attention, don’t they? Anyway, as far as the overall collection, it’s a good one. Everything seems very versatile and wearable. And I won’t even make a smart crack about the shoes.

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.

Moschino Spring/Summer 2008 Catwalk Collection

Tom — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 03:21:37 +0000

The Moschino collection for Spring/Summer includes a great line of colors. From the bright orange shoes to the very cool colored hats, everything in this line screams color. The trousers are designed to fit, which is excellent, and the shirts are all very colorful and very well designed. There are lots of white trousers in this collection, as well as some brightly colored shorts. The whole line is full of great, bright colors for spring and summer. And just think, you won’t have to worry about getting lost at night, the bright orange shoes will light your way
