Lil Wayne: Style Jack

October 10, 2008

Whether it's in his lyrics or style, Lil Wayne is always making a statement. The rapper recently won MTV's Best Hip Hop Video Award for "Lollipop" ... (ohhh, I know you just got that song stuck in your head) ... and rapped with Kid Rock. He bounced on stage with a bold look -- check out the patterns and colors. Lil Wayne's not afraid to spice it up and stand out -- are you? If you're ready, read on. Just pull up your pants …

The hat: Kangol's...

Fitted Colored Pants: Fashion Trend

October 9, 2008

What: Dare to stand out in colored pants? We dare you.

What we say: Denim and the standard colors step aside -- we're seriously considering getting edgy with fitted colored pants. So we've got fitted and colorful in the same sentence -- tricky? A bit, but it's an achievable look. Hues along with a slim fit make the pants look tailored -- let's avoid a colorful mess. Pair it retro with high tops and a patterned top or prep it up with loafers and...

Fall Scarves: Top Five

October 1, 2008

Yes, there is a difference between the scarves you were rocking this summer and the following fall picks. The material is thicker than the sheer fabrics of summer, so these will actually keep you warm. Also, the colors are richer for a fall ready accessory.

How to wear it this season? David Colman of the New York Times recently wrote that scarves “…can be added to a dressed-down look like a V-neck T-shirt and jeans to give it a dressed-up...

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.

Plaid Ties: Fashion Trend

September 25, 2008

What: Plaid ties were among T Magazine’s must have for men.

What we say: As long as you’re not wearing plaid ties with all the other plaid trends out there, we’re good to go. Keep it casual by loosening the knot and keeping it crisp with autumn hues.

Get the look:

Pictured above: Narrow silk olive/brown and maroon/navy plaid ties from Urban Outfitters, $28.

Dave 1 of Chromeo: Style Jack

September 5, 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. See him (left) at the inaugural All Points West Festival in New Jersey where he gives the perfect balance of brown in his outfit. In between, we find sleek white pants paired with a fitted shirt … popped collar, of course along with rolled up sleeves....

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...

September 3, 2008

Fashion Trend: The Pork Pie Hat

September 2, 2008

What: The Pork Pie Hat as a style statement this fall

What We Say: AskMen.com is picking the pork pie as a quirky hat of the moment (we all know it changes minute to minute, just stay with us here). We are inclined to agree with them, as we too believe that a cool hat is one of the best ways for a guy to inject a little personality into what could otherwise be a ho-hum look. Just what is a pork pie? Think squat crown that's indented all the way...

August 22, 2008

John Reilly
