Quilted Vest: Fashion Trend

September 30, 2008

What: Layer on a quilted vest sans the puff.

What we say: The perfect fall day with your favorite sweater is sometimes just not enough. For an extra layer, the quilted vest is an alternative to a light jacket. We like how they’re not bulky, so you can keep them past the fall and wear them under a winter coat. We're also spotting them in a variety of ways: solids, corduroy details and our favorite two-for-one trend – reversible.

What to Buy Fall 2008: Old Navy

September 16, 2008

For casual weekend-wear, Old Navy can't be beat -- it's a great source for up to date styling and the prices are always less than we'd expect to pay, and with sizes frequently up to XXXL. They also seem to be all about the patterns this fall (think argyle, plaid, stripes) which we kinda dig. Just please stay away from the logo stuff, unless you're under 21. Here are some logo-free pieces we're considering for Fall 2008:

Lova Bow Tie: Weekly Splurge

September 13, 2008

What: The dapper days of the bow tie are back according to Jake’s co-owner Jim Wetzel.

Why it’s worth the splurge: “The bow tie is more omnipresent than ever,” Wetzel told The Upgrader. The silk navy and taupe diagonal stripe tie for $95 is recommended for a retro touch. This accessory is also an easy way to spruce up an oxford – as the bow is already tied for you. Nice. Just adjust the straps to fit your neck and add a crewneck...

September 12, 2008

Dave 1 (Dave Macklovitch) is the stylish counterpart of the electro-funk duo Chromeo. While his other half is thuggishly chill, we opt for Dave 1’s look because he makes simplicity look cool.

Fashion Trend: The Peacoat (Again)

September 3, 2008

What: Surprise! The peacoat returns as the go-to outerwear for fall.

What We Say: Yup, the peacoat was hot last fall too, but it's pretty cool and classic -- and you might already have one in your closet -- so we're not arguing. If there's any adjustment to be made, it's that the peacoat you pick up this season could be shorter, and slimmer fitted -- and slim, of course is pretty much the trend in menswear across the board.

Buy it: For a more...
