Menswear - Pattern Mix Up

For the first time, I really feel like menswear is coming alive. I'm seeing more accessories, more color risks and much more mixing and matching of patterns. The winter is the perfect time to mix herringbone, hounds-tooth, plaid, tartan and striped patterns. This goes for women's clothing too!

And, if you want to go a step further, mix textures as well...A striped knit tie, mixed with a wool herringbone jacket and a silk hounds-tooth pocket square.

 I'm SO inspired by this trend, I already have something in the works to incorporate it in a photo shoot. I'm looking forward to sharing it soon. =) In the mean time, start getting creative and shopping for patterns!

Menswear - Pea Coats

The holiday season is over and stores are preparing their floors for spring. Most people will be wearing coats until April (unless you're in AZ, which is more like until the end of February), but the sale racks will be filled with warm clothes and outerwear. So, now is the time to by a winter coat.

My number one recommendation - the classic pea coat. It NEVER goes out of style. You will always look stylish in a pea coat. You can find them at J.Crew, Banana Republic, GAP, American Eagle and any major department store.

Menswear Fashion Inspiration - The Prep

Every week I post fashion inspiration, but I never really showcase fashion inspiration for men. So, here you guys go. Enjoy some inspiration based on the prep trend that has taken over menswear. I think all men should seriously rethink the bow tie. They are the perfect touch for a Christmas party.
