I bought a bowler hat last November because I’ve always wanted to be a hat guy, but didn’t want to fall in line with the fedora trend. I wore it a few times but the constant strange looks and weird comments eventually turned me off from it. Apparently I was about a year too soon. [...]

Today marks the unveiling of Burberry’s new site Art of the Trench, “a celebration of the trench coat and those who wear it.” The site’s main page is an interactive wall showcasing photos of people wearing Burberry coats of all shapes and styles. The first group of pictures is drawn from sources like The Sartorialist [...]

Rock and Roll never dies, and it’s styles don’t either. I came across a magazine ad for Guess’s new line ‘The Portrait of Rock’ and it looked pretty interesting. Turns out it’s just what it claims to be: a high fashion take on what is always on the shelves at Trash and Vaudeville – studded [...]

Vintage t-shirts have absolutely blown up in the past few years, and beyond their hipster cool cache, vintage t-shirts are actually nicer to wear.

Thought I would leave you with some cool shots from the YSL Manifesto on this cool and damp Friday afternoon. Nothing really to say about it except that the photography and design are rad and the juxtaposition of the skin with the clothes leads to some interested effects. Check out the site too for a [...]

Dressing the Man: Mastering the Art of Permanent Fashion by Alan Flusser. This book is a veritable gold mine of great ideas, influences, explanations, and guidelines for timeless fashion. I got this book about 9 years ago, and it goes without saying it has been and will continue to be absolutely correct about every bit of [...]
