By 1 Comment

Leather was a huge trend this season. Whether you were rocking military style jackets with leather sleeves, leather skater skirts, or leather skinny pants, some of our favorite fashionistas love the laid back casual leather look.

This past weekend Alicia Keys performed in a Hervé Léger leather ensemble. Although her vocals were questionable for the night, she looked great in this look.

I love how casual the pants are, but the leather makes them more glamorous. This is a great alternative if you are not a huge fan of sweats.

The guys also rocked leather pants this weekend. Lebron James and Drake both rocked En Noir leather sweatpants

Drake rocked a red pair and because Lebron is so huge his pants were kind of snug

Men’s Style: New Years Night Fit

By Leave a Comment

index

Another year on the horizon and I don’t know about you but I’m excited for it and so thankful to what 2012 has brought me. New friends & new opportunities such as writing for this site. I learned a lot about style over this year and I hope I relayed that across my few posts. Only one way to end the year right is to bring in the next looking as proper as possible, so gentlemen below are a few ideas on how to do it right.

Depending on the type of event here are 3 options that should give you a basic idea of where my mind is going. Not every one is for the full get up but that doesn’t mean style should be lax as well…

Now some like to go all out but try to keep a little fun involved. Patterned accessories or not so normal fabrics should help you accomplish this…

Somewhere in between your look can lie as well but again fabrics and accents must be key. A full on hard bottom might turn you off so something like a dress boot can keep a little funk.

Quicktips:

  • Try to avoid too much matching – patterns, fabrics, colors.
  • Avoid too many loud colors – subtlety speaks louder.
  • Make sure of your size & fit – #1 mistake made by most.
  • Avoid logos with suits – Gucci, Hermes & such belts & patterns should never be paired with suiting. Keep it for when you’re on the ave.

Keep it fly & safe this new years night & see you in 2013!

Men’s Style: The Ultimate Gift Guide For Him

By Leave a Comment

As if shopping during the holidays is bad enough, shopping for the man in your life is a task onto itself. Luckily I’m here… one secret is anything you see a man have just get him more of the same. We like certain things and to have a lot of them. So take a gander and take heed its crazy out there this time of year.

Outerwear
Cold weather shouldnt be a deterrent to style. The options arent as minimal as you think. From varsity to snorkel, from leather to wool, from hooded to shawl neck keep him warm with the options below.

Frangrance
The smell of a person is very important. Women believe its just their scent that fills a room but we have our say as well and these fragrances will be a good opening salvo.

Timepiece
Any man without a proper watch is said to have no where to go/be. That said these should allow him to find a time for what he needs to get done.

Feet Heat
Shoe game proper? if not take a look from these choices. Customization, business, casual these will get things done.

Accessories
Whether its business or fun your gadgets need style too. So cases for phones & laptops as well as a nice bag/briefcase will keep things on point.

Men’s Style: Three The Styled Way

By Leave a Comment
Simply put, every guy should have a three-piece suit this fall. This really buttoned-up silhouette can look so young and cool. Not only is the three-piece suit a nod to Savile Row and traditional tailoring at its best, but it’s one of the most versatile investments you can make. Remove the vest and you have a two-piece suit, take off the jacket and you have a pairing that’s still equally work appropriate. It’s the ultimate chameleon of suiting. Patterns, plaids, wools, stripes the availability of choices are endless. For a lil bit extra tip check member only sites like Gilt, Hautelook & Rue La La for great deals on suiting from major designers like Tommy Hilfiger, Joseph Abboud, Hickey Freeman, Ben Sherman & Michael Kors.
