Shop Now: Men’s Rainy Day Attire

Samantha Lim — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 17:04:26 +0000

It’s raining, it’s pouring the fashion is generally bo-ring… American gentlemen have a tendency to dress ultra down when the weather goes sour and we’re really starting to notice. We turned to our friends across the pond at The Great Divide to pick up a thing or two that will keep our boys dapper and dry in the wet weather. Here we go.

This dry waxed duffle Cro’jack rain jacket is so classically Paddington Bear meets my burly fisherman fantasy. The leather toggles balance out the bold yellow color making for the perfect men’s rain jacket. Another bonus? Its on sale.

Guys Guide To Dressing Up Shorts

McArthur Joseph — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 21:48:45 +0000

Tom Ford once said “A man should never wear shorts in the city.” Now while I’m completely obessed with the man I have to say as a stylish gentleman that this is a croc of bull. Believe it or not there is a way to dress up for the office, social gathering, and even a night on the town. Here are some ways to style your shorts and avoid looking like a simple slob.

1. For the office

Now I understand that shorts may not be appropriate for all office environments. However, if your office is progressive in the fashion arena then here is how to dress up a pair of shorts for a day at work.

The key to wearing shorts as office wear is dressing up the whole upper part of your body as if you’re wearing dress pants. Start off with a tailored dress shirt. (Preferably thinly striped or solid) Add a skinny tie to look both both professional and fashion. The piece de resistance is a light weight and fitted blazer. Throw on a lace up shoe and done. You’ll be giving business on top and party on the bottom.

2. For night out

Doorman (especially in NYC) have the right to deny you admission into a venue if they don’t find your outfit appropriate. They will surely turn someone away if they are wearing shorts appropriate only for the Jersey Shore. You can rectify this by giving your shirts an edge.

I’m a sucker for a tee and biker jacket combo. It just gives a don’t mess with me kind of feel and is one of my favorite looks to wear at night. Pair it with a smart pair of hi top sneakers and you’ll look like the coolest kid in the club.

3. For the casual day

Many people take advantage of being causal as an excuse to look completely unfashionable. I completely you can run around town looking comfy, casual, and chic.

To achieve this look with shorts ass a patterned top. I tend to lean to a polo or sweater depending on the weather. Don’t dare slip into flip flops, but wear a pair of espadrilles sans socks. You never know who you’ll run into on a casual day running errands or enjoying the day so don’t wear an outfit that could lead to your own embarrassment.

MOMENT OF STYLE: Casual Olsen

Rebecca Alexander — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 19:00:57 +0000

Not sure which one of the Olsens this is, really can’t take them apart, but I love when they are at their utmost casual. Both the Olsen’s really know how to funk up an oversized tee, in this case with tons of fun jewelry and large sunglasses.
