Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton

just saw a awesome Documentary on marc jacobs and how he run's both his own line and a line for louis vuitton. I own the dvd but i just found it on youtube!

H&M

I love H&M! I have only been to the store a few times but i know that they have good clothes and inexpensive clothes for men. That is why i cant wait for the store to come to Raleigh! Here are some looks for the Fall/ Winter Line for H&M...

I love this jacket. Maybe its my eyes but i can't tell if its royal blue or black? anyway it looks good

I like the belt and the one button suit jacketI love the jacket but the pants grab me more! love the color and the zipper on the side and would love to see more of the pants. I am kind of over leather for the winter. leather jackets are what i call a staple for the winter and fall seasons. something you always go back to year after year. Try something new and something with a little more color than brown or black. and if you do wear the black or brown leather jacket pair it with bright colors sometime. for ex. the pants the model has on. Oh and for God's sake Make sure the jacket fits you and you dont look like the jacket has been passed down to you!

I love the look but i think it may be a little too much gray with the scarf but the tie does bring the whole look together in the end. I dont know how i feel about the pattern?on all of the suit jacket and the pants.

This is what i was talking about when i said a little color can help the overall look. in this case the Staple ( The Black Leather Jacket) is paired with a gray scarf and a pair of dark almost royal Blue pants. Remember that its the little things that can change an whole outfit, In this case I don't think i would have given this look a 2nd look if it was not for the scarf.

Accessorize Part 2

Hats!

They are an awesome accessory To an outfit for men! you can wear a hat on a bad day and a good day. their are many types of hats that you could wear with a whole range of outfits from day to day. then there is the baseball cap! and the trucker hat! theses are examples that you need to stay away from. In fact you should only wear a baseball cap at a baseball game. and leaving the baseball game then you should put away until you go back to see another game! I am not saying that you should never wear your baseball cap outside of a baseball game, I am just saying that if you really want to look good when you walk out of your house you should never wear it!

Now what you want to be seen in if you wear a hat is a fedora! when you wear a fedora you should wear it with style and class. Originally a women's fashion into the 20th century, the fedora came into use in about 1919, as a men's middle-class clothing accessory. Through out the 40's and 50's the Fedora was a symbol of style! Just look at Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain and Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca.
Now this is a classic Fedora ($65.00)

This is a fedora by LRG ($39.00)

This Fedora is By Original Penguin ($60.00)

There are all types of fedoras out there in every fabric and every color don't be afraid to try something different with you outfit and wear a fedora! You don't always have to be doing business to wear one! Expearament! Just as long at it matches the rest of your outfit and does not clash!

Accessorize! (Part 1)

OK so you have the cloths and you are looking good, your colors match, you ironed and pressed your shirt and pants (and maybe your boxers too, If you anal!), and your about to walk out the door and you about to drive away to your Date, Meeting, Or Party. What are you missing? Accessories! Every man should Accessorize Every Outfit, I don't care if your going to the store to get lunch or if you going to a very important meeting. Some times, and Most of the times; the accessory makes the outfit and you don't even know it! There are many accessories for men that most take for granted. I am going to talk about some and give examples on hot to do it right!

First up Watches! when you look at a watch you most of the time determine what type of man you are about to deal with! I am not saying that its truth, but most men wear one type of watch there whole life. That is where we need to stop! just because you have a favorite watch and it feels good on your wrist does not mean that you have to wear it day-in and day-out. There are certain times for certain watches: Sports watch: Should Only be used for sport! Don't bring it along on your date at 10pm at night, Don't Bring it in the board room meeting!
This is the G-Shock:GLX5600A-3 ($99.00) Anything by G-Shock is a sports watch! This is a good example of a nice sports which you can wear running, or working out.
This is the Nautica Men's BFC Chronograph Watch #N19521G ($195.00) I don't care how much it cost and what the hell it does, if it gives you more than the time and the date, Its a Sports Watch!
Another Option for a Watch is the always classy Pocket watch! They always look good with suits and Vest! I have seen people try and pull of the pocket watch with everyday jeans and shirt but it does not work most of the time! This is The Black Hills Gold Men's Black Face Pocket Watch:WR7010


Stuhrling Original Men's Special Reserve 'Symphony Maestro II' Multi-Function Skeleton Watch #150A.33152 ($170.99)
Next we have Dress Watches, which i consider to be casual watches also! dress watches can be worn in a formal and no formal way. by formal i mean you can wear this watch on a date or in a meeting. But i call it casual also because you can also wear this watch to go shopping! OK yeah if you go shopping in an 3 year old tee-shirt and frayed pants your not going to wear this watch to go along with it! But then the question becomes, Why are you going shopping in an 3 year old tee-shirt and frayed pants? But you can wear this watch with a nice polo and a nice pair of dark washed jeans or a nice patterned shorts.

This is the Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Leather Watch #BM6574-09E ($215.00)

This is the Timex Men's Classic Dress Black Leather Strap Watch #T2K661 ($24.00) Just because its a dress watch does not mean the it has to cost an arm and a leg! When it comes to dress/ casual watches keep it simple and you wont go wrong!

Kanye Style!

Ok so i am only going to say 1 thing about what happened at the VMA's last Sunday. what i have to say is "Its Kanye, If you did not expect him to do something stupid and arrogant, then i think you are the Stupid one!"

OK so now that that's done lets talk about the man behind the glasses! First Yes, He is an Arrogant, Arrogant fool, But He has Great Fashion sense, Kanye is a leader in the fashion world. As of right now Kanye does not have a fashion line but he has designed a line of sneakers for Louis Vuitton. Even looking at his blog you can tell the man has style, every other blog is about fashion. You can always see him at fashion week with somebody!

The reason i wanted to talk about Kanye is that his style is something that not a lot of people are doing today and that is what we need to look out for. His look is Very Preppy with a touch of class! He likes all the Big labels and he has no problem letting you know that and showing it off!

Kanye has been called and calls himself "The Louis Vuitton Don" which i think he has earned the right to be called such name! You can see Kanye without seeing something that LV made on him. Like I said before He has designed a shoe line for LV. And here is some of his work:


Kanye West for Louis Vuitton - Don’s - $870
Kanye West for Louis Vuitton - Jasper’s - $1140

Kanye West for Louis Vuitton - Don’s - $960

Kanye West for Louis Vuitton - Jasper’s - $990

I love the style of the shoes and I think its something new for LV. The Price is CRAZY!, But Like i said before "Its Kanye!" and LV (lol)
he has made another style of shoes for LV, they are boat shoes!

Kanye West for Louis Vuitton - Mr Hudson’s - $840I don't have a price tag for this one, But i am just guessing that its going to be more than the white version!
