I'm really feeling Jay-Z's simple and classic look.  The dip-dye denim jacket updates the look adding that flavor, and you gotta love his brooch by Dries Van Noten.  Want the look for that special guy in your life?   Check out my picks...

First, I have to tell you I love Common and The Ellen Show!  So, when I saw him on there I was so excited!  Common always has great style and his look on the show was no exception.   The black heart t-shirt is what caught my eye.  I thought of buying it for the hubby until I saw the price...a sale would be nice.  :)  Check out the video here of his performance...sweet!  Ladies and my gentleman readers get the look when you read more...

Happy Monday!!!

Color for Spring/Summer has hit the Man scene yet again!  How do you feel about your man wearing a red or purple blazer?  There's a certain style and attitude a man must have to rock a color blazer/jacket.  Personally, I love it and think it's so fresh from the norm.

Color Blast Jackets by Suitsupply

Celebs were getting into the trend last Summer.  

Are you feeling it?

On another note...The husband is graduating from law school in May, and I was telling him to treat himself to a new suit.  He deserves it...majorly!!!  I think he should step out (not too far) and do something different than he normally does...have a little fun with fashion.

I'm thinking something like this...

1.  Napoli Suit by Suitsupply

2.  Striped Cotton Shirt by Brioni

3.  Dot Bow Tie by Brooks Brothers

4.  Fela Leather Oxford by Mr. Hare

Great for a beautiful graduation and Mother's Day...what am I going to wear?  Ha!

AND I'M OFF AND RUNNING...

ManStyle: The Hat

The husband loves wearing hats, and I love to see him in them!  Hats add such style and a uniqueness to your outfit. This Summer hats are definitely in for men and women. From the Fedora to the Panama Hat to the Driver's Cap you can't go wrong. The Panama Hat and the Fedora are definitely the "it" accessory for men this Summer, and will move right into Fall with little change in textile.

ManStyle: Mr. Porter

If you're an online shopper, then you definitely have heard of Net-A-Porter. Well, they have launched Mr. Porter...the Man version! Mr. Porter is a great site dedicated to the well-dressed man who likes to stand out a bit from the rest. Carrying many fab designers like Lanvin, Marni, Brioni(my dad's favorite for shirts), APC, Maison Martin Margiela, Dunhill, and many more as well as some independent designers. Prices vary and have good range. Currently, they're having a big sale so check it out here! Also, check out The Journal where they have different issues discussing tips on dressing, new products, and designer highlights. Great online shop!  I definitely will be eyeing some things for the Husband.

Monday ManStyle: The Trunk Club

I found this really lovely site for the man who just hates to shop(most men) or just has no time to physically shop.  The Trunk Club is an online personal shopper for men.  Woohooo!!!  You answer a series of questions about yourself physically and personally, then they email you or call you to discuss your needs.  After you talk with a personal shopper, they send you a trunk of clothing based on what you discussed.  You try everything on, and if you don't like something you just send it back. Amazing!  Also, shipping is free both ways.  Oh, and of course you have to pay for the items, but only for the items that you keep. No fees until you decide on what you want!  Now that is cool!  

Ladies, this is a great gift for that special man in your life. If you are a little late on getting a Father's Day gift, this is a great one.

Check it out here!

A typical shipment.  You get full outfits!

Love this shirt...Great for Summer

They pick from many designers like Ben Sherman, Ernest Sewn, Eton, Jack Spade, and other independent designers. 

Check out this video! This explains it all.

           



Happy Man Shopping!!!
