I was discussing the ‘no-belt’ look with a friend yesterday, and he was skeptical about it. I am 100% pro ‘no-belt.’ As a general rule, I think that just wearing a button down shirt tucked into pants never looks right. On models, they tailor the shirts to be skin tight and can prepare each shot [...]

Autumn has arrived and I’ve made a pact with myself to wear jeans as sparingly as possible this season. Because of this, I have been searching for the perfect pair of Khaki’s. Something with just the right balance of beige, yellow and brown, with a 28 waist (I know… it’s genetic) and a slim leg. [...]

I am caught up in the boot craze. I love boots, be it cowboy, motorcycle, or ol’ fashion combat boots. There is no better feeling than stomping around in a nice pair of leather boots. No other type of shoe fits your foot better or makes you feel the way you do in a pair [...]

Here is a quick and simple guide to how to carry your personal belongings this fall. Which catagory do you fit in?
1.) Middle schoolers – you rock the backpack. Canvas, many pockets, pencils slots. This is the bag for those of you who haven’t graduated on to lace up shoes and given away all of [...]

According to The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Clothing through World History the Chesterfield style of overcoat was invented by the 6th Earl of Chesterfield in the 1840s. It was designed without a tight waistline seam to have a looser, more comfortable fit, a big change from the rigid and structured top coats that preceded it. It [...]

It’s the small, simple additions that are fun to mix and match and bring some personality to a wardrobe. And it’s always cathartic to buy something!

First up is this wool tweed vest from the JCrew sample sale. I had to excercise extreme levels of self restraint as the sale was huge and full of size [...]

Daniel Akst wrote this article in the Journal a few months ago about how denim “… is an essential co-conspirator in the modern trend toward undifferentiated dressing, in which we all strive to look equally shabby no matter what the occasion.” He goes on to say that Obama should “impose a federal levy on Levi’s” [...]

Yesterday was a big day. Started at the J Crew sample sale, which was a mad house but FULL of beautiful clothes (a post about that to come). Then on to Fashion’s Night Out.
First was Tiffany’s, where a large collection of extremely tall people were enjoying blue square pastries shaped and decorated like gift boxes. [...]

A friend sent this to me a while ago and I had forgotten how cool it was. I’m guessing here because the whole site is in Japanese, but I think its some kind of skin care company that has a separate micro-site that’s a ’style’ section of sorts.

Within the style section there are some very [...]

Picked up this bow tie for $10 at the Hickey Freeman sample sale last week. Very happy about it, not only because the quality is obviously fantastic, but I don’t have any bow ties with the pointed ends like this. And the tweed material and off white color make it very versatile and different. I [...]
