Kick it up a notch

Guess Mens Alfred Boots

Fashion is not just a girl thing. Gentle Sirs have been showing just as much interest. One thing I’ve noticed and I’ve been loving thus far is the new take on lace up boots. Be it the Duck Boot, Combat Boot with a twist known as the slouch and my pick the Brogue Boot. I find this can cross over so many different looks it should be considered. Easy shoe for several occasions.

Hope everyone is feeling great. It’s Saturday afternoon and I know some of us have plans for the night, others will just fall into something. However the night pans out be sure to be safe. With that said I know there will be people out there darting out to shops looking for the outfit of the night. While out there you may come across what I believe to be the hottest things on the racks this season – jeans in a variety of colors. Not your typical blue hues, stone wash, not at all. I’m talking fire engine red, steeler yellow, teal, chocolate brown. This is sure to really take off in the spring but if you want to be ahead of the pack I say pick up a pair add some pumps, booties whatever and give your night a flair. The trend is available for men as well and offered by a variety of brands 7 for ALL Mankind, Gabriella Rocha, Sanctuary Clothing, Levi’s to name a few. Of course if you can’t find them in the stores hit the online malls. Zappos.com is not just for shoes anymore and my fave 6pm.com always has great deals and they offer styles for all shapes and sizes yeaa-ahhh.

Shawl we Gentlemen

FCUK (French Connection United Kingdom) Shawl Collar Cable Knit Sweater

This type of neckline is popping up everywhere nowadays. It never really lost its fire in womenswear as it can be found in a number of sweaters, cardigans, blouses. However it has been picking up steam in Menswear, YAY!!!!   I must say the men I’ve seen wear this neckline immediately look dapper, refined and umm well FINE. Now what is a Shawl Collar? A shawl Collar is a rounded neckline with a connected lapel. This particular style has a way of elongating the neck, gives a nice lean appeal. Now if a man already has a long neck you should opt for a shorter neckline. Fit also matters. You should look for a tailored style, close to the body, it shouldn’t look like you jumped in your little brothers closet but it should fit. It’s different but never fear, try it on. Wear it when on those days where you want to look casually fly. The neckline is offered on jackets, button down sweaters, some with toggle button styles, pull overs and such. Bottom line is get your fix and let me know how many huminah huminah looks you get, I love being right.
