Fall 2012 Fashion Week: Gilded Age Men’s Collection

by fashion pulse contributor

The perfect depiction of rugged, Gilded Age Men’s “The Speed” collection mixed a unique palette of clean and sporty looks. The result? That man who seems to nail style on the head while still looking like he doesn’t give a *^$%! The rebellious nature of the collection was represented in lots of black, grays, olives, and deep indigo sweaters and tees while the overly dyed denims and saturated burgundy jeans paired with scarves and leather relays that this guy is conscious of style. What’s more? The brand is socially conscious, devoted to organic, handcrafted and artisan approaches!

Take A Dip in the Ocean w/ Nautica Mens Spring 2012 Lineup

by Julia DiNardo

New York Fashion Week took a West Coast sun vibe on The Empire Hotel Rooftop as Nautica debuted its Men’s Spring 2012 Collection. Inspired by a California Road Trip, Nautica did just that by featuring cargo and board shorts for the beach, as well as light layers in nylon for the evening breeze. Wool blazers and cotton trench coats paired with v-neck sweaters were a great addition to the collection, as the warm neutrals complemented the bright summer colors, such as watermelon and shades of blue in a completely perfect way! American prep truly takes on a cool and casual Cali look with Nautica come the spring weather of 2012.

General Idea

Though General Idea’s S/S 2010 was mainly a black and white collection, hot pink and a variety of kaleidoscope prints made their way onto the runway. The collection featured a new take on one of this past season’s popular silhouettes  — sleeveless and short sleeved tops and trenchcoats, sporting exaggerated rounded and pointy shoulders — as well as  drop crotch pants and shorts, gladiator sandals, and jumpsuits. A daring favorite (definitely not for the faint of heart!) were the trench-turned-jumpsuits numbers worn by all the models at the end of the show.

Douglas Hannant

Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, served as the central inspiration for Douglas Hannant’s Spring 2010 collection, which heavily consisted of sculpted evening gowns and jersey dresses resembling more alluring versions of the toga. The location — the Plaza Hotel — and method of presentation — the dresses, quite literally, put up on pedestals — did well to compliment the elegance and caliber of Hannant’s delicate collection.

Kai Milla

Kai Milla’s first collection after taking a well-deserved break for motherhood is flirty and fun. New structures, beading and embellishments add an exciting touch to tried-and-true silhouettes — in doing so, Milla’s beautiful garments are modern and trendy, yet timeless enough that they won’t go out of style any time soon.

Three Wardrobe Essentials for Men

by fashionpulse

Via LollieShopping:

Compliment my husband on his attire and he’ll point to me and instruct you, “Tell her. She dresses me.” And, it’s true. Shopping and putting together an outfit are not my hubby’s forte. Luckily, he has his very own Lollie Shopping to make him look good.

For the rest of you men out there, I wrote this blog post to show you the three essential pieces you need in your wardrobe to pull your look together. Whether you’re wearing jeans and your favorite graphic t-shirt or a pair of flat front trousers and a button down shirt, these three wardrobe essentials are your go-to pieces to complete your look.

A Standout Watch

You need at least one standout watch in your wardrobe. Think big, bold and masculine. It doesn’t have to be a $2,000 Tag Heuer watch. But, you do want to select a watch that has as much aesthetic attraction as a Tag Heuer. Select a band, face and color scheme that works for your own personal style – fashionable, sleek or rugged . Fit is essential. A watch that slides around on your wrist because it’s too big looks awkward and funny. Here are some examples of some stylish standout watches.

Modern Jacket

The right jacket can really pull together your entire outfit and establish a look that is uniquely your own. Your chosen jacket must be fresh and modern, sporting today’s popular trends.

Quality construction and fit are both important. Your jacket should flatter your body, making your chest and shoulders look wide and your waistline appear smaller, much like the shape of a V. The key to creating such a look is to have your jacket tailored for your body. Find a well-constructed jacket and a talented tailor. A well-fitted jacket can take pounds off your physique.

Because you want something very modern, know that your jacket may be outdated by next year, so don’t spend hundreds of dollars on a jacket. Shop around and look for a good bargain on a quality piece. Aim to have two to three jackets in your wardrobe.

Great Shoes

When I was in college, my roommate confided in me that when checking out a guy, the first thing she does is look at his shoes. Since then, so many other women have told me the same. So guys, pay attention to your shoes. Keep them in good shape and keep at least one really stylish pair in your wardrobe.

As is the case with watches, you don’t have to spend an insane amount of money on your shoes. In fact, a girlfriend of mine recently met the actor Chris Noth (Mr. Big from “Sex and the City”) and when her uncouth dinner mate asked him what brand of shoes he was wearing, he said Aldo, which also happens to be my hubby’s brand of choice and a very affordable, everyday-man brand. So, if it’s good enough for Mr. Big and my husband, then it’s good enough for you.

If you want something more rugged and can spend a little more, my favorite men’s shoe brand is Mark Nason. Nurture your inner rock star.

Here’s a great shoe tip: your socks should match your shoes or your pants, whichever you prefer.  But whatever you do…NEVER WEAR WHITE SPORTS SOCKS WITH YOUR DRESS SHOES OR BOOTS.

More Tips

  • Don’t forget to wear a belt.
  • Your belt and shoes do not have to match.
  • It’s okay to wear black and brown together. If you’re wearing a black jacket, it’s okay to wear brown shoes. If you’re wearing a brown leather watch band, it’s okay to wear black shoes. All those rules are old fashioned.
  • Bulky wallets are gross. Get rid of anything you don’t need in your wallet. On an evening out, consider using a money clip.
  • Cover your nipples. Some shirts require an undershirt – either a t-shirt or wife beater. Please wear one.
  • Shine your shoes.
  • Take care of your clothes. Your jacket will require dry cleaning. Your nice shirts can be washed in the washer, but it’s probably best to let them hang dry.
  • Iron your clothes. Wrinkles look sloppy.
  • Get a woman’s opinion. If you’re in the midst of shopping or washing your clothes and you’re unsure about something, just ask a woman – your wife, girlfriend, mother, aunt or the sales lady at the store. She’ll know the answer.
