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...

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!    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!          

"Happy Men's Wear Day Monday" "And Yes its Wednesday!" Soooo Labor Day wasn't Monday and Tuesday??? .....o!   Back to business, It's fall Guys! Fall has begun,  it's by far the best wardrobe season of the year.   I know I've been going on about accessories, but for Fall I have to jump right in. My first order of business is the Fall Coat. This is not your warm snow coat, or your do everything in the cold winter coat. This is your "Fall Coat" it's your  trendy, stylish, accent piece,in other words its your dress coat. This coat should be a brand you love and a refection of  your personal style. This is your adult Swag piece,  for those fall days when the outfit is just right .   Fall is Fashion! Get excited! In the winter when you layer its to keep you warm.  Fall is the season to show of your style its not too hot and its not too cold , you can layer under your fall coat and Swag out. Don't be afraid to...
