This thick flannel is 100% virgin wool which makes it the perfect transitional item. The printm akes it super versatile so you can mix it under a puffer vest or on top of a hoodie.

While the other guys are in their black or gray peacoats make a statement that transcends seasons.

This super sleek & trim jacket contains a concealed channel-stitched zip-out front-zip placket with a ribbed-knit stand collar for when the temperature drops.

If you know anything about mens trends then you know both camel and toggle coats were seen on an insurmountable number of runways. Mix the two in this great waist length coat.

Stand out in this stunning green jacket with both faux and real fur.

This jacket has a classic silhouette and will never fail any season. The pops of flannel in the hood and brass hardware bring the coat to a modern level.

Besides the super cool latches, this coat offers a big collar that stands up against chilly breezes. Enough said.

This jacket has the look of a tailored blazers but feels like down filled coat.

This jacket is both sporty and on trend.

This jacket plays both the role of a quilted jacked and unconventional blazer.

The Sunday Mass Look:

Many of you are going to Sunday mass this Sunday because of your religious beliefs or in my case an overbearing yet loving mother who doesn’t want to see her oldest boy go to hell. (But I digress) When it comes to displaying personal style in religious situations one must put their ego aside to be respectful.  You can go or this seasons bright colors but don’t overdo it because the service is not about you no matter how bad you want it to be.

A blazer is a must and a houndstooth blazer like this one from Tallia Orange works with a variety of outfits.  This Ben Sherman shirt is a great mix of simple and detailed to stand alone or under a jacket. A tie is a must when it comes to dressing up and this Brooks Brother necktie is a great pop of color on top.

When the top of your outfit is pretty tame it is best to shock people by having a super interesting bottom. That’s what I strongly recommend a color trouser like these from Jil Sander. If you’re pants are going to be really loud then allow your shoes to tone them down. A simple pair of dressy lace ups will do the trick and Topman has you covered. The cherry on top of this outfit should be your watch. I recommend choosing one with a very classic face but going for a bright colored band like this GUESS timepiece.

Thanks NY Mag!

PPQ  loves collaborations… After teaming up with Peaches Geldof and Ben Sherman for collections, designers Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker lined up another — this time with Adidas, for sportswear debuting for fall/winter 2009.

Molyneaux says you can expect to see a mix of PPQ’s party girls with sports, like jumper dresses styled with “brothel creepers.” Kinda exciting!

Rock and Ska

Britpop and Indie 

Ben Sherman has just put out a collection of dresses from London-based label PPQ.  The dresses cover multiple time periods, each with their own style inspiration and name. According to Racked.com, there is a black-and-white 60′s Mod frock, a paisley-print 70′s Rock number, a gray-and-black 80′s Ska outfit, a stripey 90′s Britpop look and a boho 00′s INDIE design. That’s right indies we are in the generation of INDIE. (Aren’t you special for reading fashion indie)

Who’s PPQ: Think British Heatherette with Peaches Geldoff taking the place of Paris Hilton on the runway.

The dresses are going for $300 a piece, but their limited nature makes them worth the cash drop. Head to Ben Sherman’s 96 Spring Street location to get the indielicious dresses.

A very mod thought meets “real” models and a 50- year old brand all wrapped up in red, white and blue! What better way to launch a collection than with Ben Sherman’s nightlife photographer-blogger extraordinaire, Merlin Bronques from Lastnightsparty.com and a collection of his edgy, provocatively raw photos.

During the late 60s, Geoffery Mead of the Brighton Mod thought that Ben Sherman and anything having to do with the brand was, to say the least, the first British definition of ‘cool’. On Saturday night, all wrapped up in Soho, was a party of 300 people, dancing to 80s punk at Sherman’s store on Spring. A collaboration of the famous Sherman logo, American Apparel type photos and short films were all screaming the plectrum of the city’s preppy and mod come together in matrimony.

Someone is in the right place when Agnes Deyn walks through the door and stays the whole night dancing and blending nearly without notice.  While standing in line for the one and only bathroom I caught up on some reading, getting tips from Sherman’s book on how to perfect your grass lawn tennis game.  There was also the joy of talking to an independent designer or two who seemed to flood this spot to connect to it’s “x” factor.

One could come to appreciate that this brand has taken a long drive throughout generations and has reckoned with every kid who had a pick in hand and the Sherman logo posted across their chest. It was no wonder that the beautiful people who showed up for this party could understand the young kid dressed as a police officer with a sex pistols vibe taking photographs of the crowds spontaneity and the indie films of Merlin Bronques projected on the walls of the stores fine construction!

React to the images, enjoy dancing with kids from brooklyn and have your picture taken by the occasional paparazzi. This was the party.
