Menswear Monday: Best Summer Looks

Image
 Happy Monday Guys! I hope you had an fantastic summer. I've had the pleasure of attending many fashion related events these hot summer months and the guys are wining! Summer time is the  hardest  time to stay cool and look put together when its 90 plus degrees outside. So when I see a guy in a suit looking great with all the elements working against him I have to take notice. This summer I made people watching a game, but just watching the guys. "Sorry, but the guys were so much more interested. I loved it! I saw more red bottoms on men than women. The guys were wearing the luxury brand with ease and style. You know I love a fashion lions, but my radar usually  goes up in the fall and winter months. Fall and Winter brings sweaters, blazers, outerwear, boots , suits, wools and cashmeres.  But never in the summer would I go on a hunt for fashion lions. I can not believe what I've been missi...

Happy Men's Wear Monday I'm back! "So lets get down to business, the spring 2016 collections are is the stores now! I couldn't help but notice the color palettes for men's blazers is a crazy explosion of skittles color candy! I walked the mall for exercise off course and I was drawn to the blazers , the colors were new ,playful, fresh and bold. My eyes are were unsure how to respond, so I guy watched in one of my favorite department store. Guess what? They were trying on all the different colors  the  salmon, yellow, pink, mint green, purple etc. I was shocked and very entertained. Some guys were happy and excited to see the colors but some were down right offended by all the color.   I definitely agree with both sides, not a good place to be as a stylist, but it's all depends on you. If colorful blazers is not your thing its ok! But if you like color and pinks and yellows don't scare you than Happ...

Men's Wear Monday " Vested"

Happy Men's Wear Monday Well guys its been 2 weeks, I hope you've been making some good fashion decisions without me. I'm working on some amazing projects for 2016. I can't wait to share! Now down to business!! As you all know I'm truly vested in your style. I see a world of all fashion lions. The Vest is and article of clothing that is always there in every store, not fussy at all . You really don't have to break the bank to add one or two to your wardrobe .I personally feel like every guy should own a vest. The vest may be that one piece that ties your look together. It goes well with  slacks or jeans and a button down shirt. You still look  put together without having to wear a blazer. I love a little swag with the vest off course color, texture and style. A fashion Lion know his style, so shop your favorite brands if you don't already have one.      

Men's Wear Monday "Three Piece Suit"

Happy Men' Wear Monday!   The Three Piece Suit has been trending for a few years now. I love this shift of more men getting dress up in suits. Suits are no longer for funerals, weddings and interviews it can be your everyday look casual or formal. Guys you have more options now , so can get dress up and still look and feel like themselves. The Three Piece Suit is for a men that can wear the suit not the suit wearing him. I say this because you have three major items the blazer, vest and slacks. This look can easily swallow you up. So you have to be confident and find the right suit to fit your style. Always stay true to yourself try colors can textures you may find your inner " Fashion Lion".             Photos courtesy of  Pinterest and GQ Magazine.

Happy Men's Wear Monday!   Lets get down to business, time is of the essence! Lol!  Lets talk about your time piece. The watch is one of the accessories you most have in your wardrobe. Actually, you need more the one. You most have an everyday watch, and a dressy watch a splurge usually a brand like Gucci, Omega, Rolex, Cartier, TAG Heuer etc.      Your watch tells so much about your personal. For one a watch tells how serious you are about your time.( It gives you BOSS Status).  In a world of unlimited technology you don't have to wear a watch, but you should!! A watch  completes your look, it makes you look professional, smart and mature. Grow up and get a watch, stop depending on your cell phone or the clock in your car. Get dress and don't forget your time piece.            

Men's Wear Monday" You are Suspended"

Image
Happy Men's Wear Monday!    Let me start off by saying "I had an amazing time at New York Fashion Week this weekend . Back to business: This post is a request from a loyal follower. In the 2 months I've been writing my blog this person has been encouraging and very insightful. We had a short conversation about suspenders a week ago  and I thought great this is my next post.   I can't say this accessory is for every man, and most men don't even own suspenders. But you have to like suspenders or at least be willing to try them.  Suspenders add a  professional,fun and smart look to your wardrobe. This men's wear accessory has to be worn with confidence because this is a statement piece. One thing I can say about a man in suspenders is he definitely looks smart and handsome!
