What: UNIQLO and Pantone bring new color to cashmere.

See Jack Shop adds a new feature, partnering with Streetpeeper.com to let the man on the street teach us a thing or two about everyday style.

The Look: From the streets of New York, where vintage rules, a case of mix and match. Here, olive green vintage pants with a Tailor New York jacket, Godwin shirt, and Creative Recreation sneakers. A vintage hat, worn at a jaunty angle, tops it off.

For The Style File: Though not all of us could pull off a combination this bold, you should still use cool (and affordable) vintage pieces to add personality to your basic (or not-so-basic) wardrobe pieces. And while the camps are still divided on bags for guys, this photo just goes to show that you can carry one and still look cool.
