See Jack Shop brings you links to the latest styles, trends and tips from around the web.

~ "The key to choosing a solid-colored necktie is the texture of the fabric," says Manolo for the Men. According to the blog, a completely smooth silk tie looks cheap. Their recommendation?: A pastel tie with a basket weave.

~ Dr. Marten is one of the timeless boot brands out on the market according to Cool Hunting. To maintain this consistency, Dr. Marten is reissuing their Monkey Boot in leather and suede from the 1960's this fall and winter along with what the blog says is their new monochrome and neon series.

~ The blue-collar look is on the rise this fall and J. Crew has jumped in with their updated version of the work shirt. Manolo for the Men compares the look to that of a car mechanic and describes the collar as "sort of a throat latch."

~ Shoes require some care after every 10 wears or less according to manshion. The blog lays out shoe maintenance with simple tools such as a tooth and a rag to cream and polish.

~ "Imagine" John Lennon and his Beatle counter parts in your life in the form of 1964 sneakers. According to NoGoodForMe.com, the Beatles'-face printed sneakers cost $2.98 in the '60s and now cost three grand. Would you be "crying, waiting and hoping" for a pair that would have your wallet screaming "Help!" ? OK, we're done.
