Spring is in Bloom in New York City, April Showers.

Fashion is changing on the streets of New York City as the subways heat up and the air thickens. It is almost time to put away those coats and take out your evening jackets and sport only a suit and thin scarf on the streets. Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner, so strip off the layers and let's get to work.

The light skinny suit is what is going to make or break you this summer. Don't even think about walking into a Manhattan lounge without one on. You want respect and you don't want your time wasted. These are lightweight and are easily used with other pairs. Jet black if you don't mind the Bond references all night (this may not bother you), but Dark jeans and a Skinny Black Blazer doesn't dock you points. Skinny. Ties. Only. Unless you're in a business meeting or wearing a 3 piece/ie sweater, Fat ties are a not.

If you didn't notice, thin is in. Especially now. If you haven't done much about your body all winter, you might want to squeeze in a month of working out. These outfits are not too expensive (Zara 49.95-69.95 tops/pants). Spending on a budget this season will not be hard. Shorts paired with Boat Sweater or even a light blazer is not going to kill you. Chic and clean is what it's about. Stay simple, but exude echelon.

Lots More to expect this season!

Next Week: I may be in Africa for 3 weeks, we may get a chance to bring Cape Town to the Big Apple!

October HAS ARRIVED!

What a Weak Summer! I spent most of it in Los Angeles this year, and I do believe I was lucky. Now that we are past that nonsense and are emerging into the best time a year for fashion, I can't wait to bring you a crash course that will do these 5 things for you:

1. Make Women want to sleep with you

2. Make other guys want to be you

3. Get you laid

4. Get you a promotion

5. Help you change the world.

Let's face it. I wish I could really do all

o

f these things for you, but I truly be

lieve that if yo

u take these Autumn Style tips, you will be well on your way to conquering the world.

Let's take a good look at TOM FORD thi

s fall. As we all have seen the latest trend in being cool in this crumbling economy is the skinny suit. Now, I need you to know this, because it is very important. If you walk into any room and your suit is not tailored, everyone in that room will be secretly laughing at you in their heads. I most certainly would be as well. If you have the time to tailor your suit, you have enough time to take anythin

g you put your mind to seriously. It is the most recent tren

d to be in a skinny suit and this can be bought for under $250.00 at both of my favorite places to shop in New York and the West Coast. H&M and the all powerful Zara Man. Now, I am also accustom to Tom Man in New York. Sorry all of you West Coast readers, there is only one store in the entire county on Broadway and Broome Street, NYC. I would highly recommend you visit this store if in NYC and blow your har

d earned money on some excellent clothing.

The truth of the matter of Top Man, is that it is overly expensive for the right reasons. Honestly, you can get anything there at an H&M or Zara.

Take a look at these $250.00 Suits at H&M:

If you don't have $250.00 to spend, then it is still very simple to nail the skinny suit.

BACK FROM THE DEAD!

Hello all you fellow followers. It's Marcus back from the dead. I've done a lot since I've left and one thing is produce my first film:

LETTING GO

Summer Fashion - Let's Get To It!

A new day and a new season in Men's Fashion here in New York City! I have decided to write a short blip of information for all of you out there trying to grab the newest trends while also staying cool this summer. Now, I understand that it is quite the task to keep fashion integrity alive in a season in which skin is the new facebook, so I have devised an action plan for all of you who just need a hint!

What is in this season is the 3rd length Short. I know, I know, it gets dangerous for all of you straight men out there

who do not dare to wear any pant above the knee, but take a hint from an expert, it's a very clean finish and you will get any girl to turn their head in amazement at that nice, stylish ass. Yep, I said it.

Now, to the right, you will notice the short in which I speak of. It even comes with a BELT! You can find this simple short at UNICLO for about $24.00, a price that is unmatched.

What would you pair this with, you might ask? A solid button up from one of my favorite stores (H&M $19.99 or with a cleaner finish ZARA $39.99) TUCKED IN! I am serious boys, tuck that button up in. Professional and stylish. Top it all off with a pair of black/tan/gray LOAFERS from ALDO or

wherever you can get your hands on the shoes from God. You'll be a hit on the streets. It's really interesting how many women I can catch with this outfit, isn't that CRAZY!?

Not only can you pair this outfit with a button up, you can go casual with a simple half button or go preppy with a polo of any color. In this case, you can leave the polo or half button untucked with a casual, yet still preppy, young feel...stylish as all hell. No need for a jacket, but if it does seem like it might get a little chilly, stay light with the colors. This summer h

as NO room for blacks...it's a new year, a year of CHANGE!

Another staple trend this season is the canvas/white pants. Swallow your pride and get a nice pair of flat front (NEVER PLEATED, if I see you on the streets in Pleats and you are under the age of 65 I will be very disappointed) Skinny fit...I say conform to current trends, because the English look is in. I mean, Robert Pattinson doesn't get those Crazy screams for just being sexy....I may be wrong.

Pair those white/canvas pants with a simple light color on top. It can be simple, don't overdue it. The pants have crossed that line already, you don't want to dive in when you can gently saunter across the line of style and get the same affect without nearly as much effort!

YES the Cardigan is STILL in. BUT you must choose wisely. If you are bold enough, as you see I always am, wear the cardigan alone with an undershirt. It is cool, refreshing and can show that chest you have been working on in the Gym all winter...or not.

Well, That's it for today. I hope I have solved some problems in your summer fashion lives. Live it, love it. You are in control of your own destiny...so do it!

Namaste,

Marcus Lovingood

SPRING FASHION IS HERE! Can you handle it?

The temperature is changing, people are starting to become a little nicer and everyone in the city is coming out of their seasonal depression...finally!  Now that we are putting Winter behind us, it is time for us to start thinking about our Spring/Summer WARDROBE!  You didn't think i'd let you all off the hook, did you?  GUESS AGAIN!  But instead of dreading having to go downtown to 5th with your girlfriend or with your "girlfriends'' and roam around like a fat girl at the gym...I am here to help!

Every Spring/Summer season has a trent that starts about mid January.  It is a fashion path that is established throughout the entire high fashion industry and then trickles down to the little people such as H&M, Zara and UNICLO.  Don't get me wrong, when I say little people, I mean the 20 Million Americans that shop at these retailers seasonally.  Including ME!  So let me give you some examples of some great outfits and combinations that will set you on the right track to a successful, stylish Spring and Summer!

  

Let's talk a little about Tommy Hilfiger this season. I will admit, his clothing have never appealed to me, but this season is different!  The light button up top and the white jeans/pants are going to be essential pieces this season.  It's a clean and tidy look that gives every spice of debonair to your image.  Tucked or untucked stick with a light pattern on the top.  Stick with sky/baby blues, light pastels.  Solid or patterned will work.  If you go for the pattern look, stay with vertical stripes.  You can get the SAME outfits at your local H&M retailer.  The Oxford button-up shirts start at $19.95 and the vertical stripped button-ups start at $24.95.  What a deal!

When buying a pair of light pants, STAY SIMPLE.  The pants add a light charm to the outfit, you don't want to distract anyone from the most important part of the outfit, YOU!

Let's look at the new GUESS collection and what it has to offer! 

This season is all about SKIN.  Dark jeans and stone button up shirt.  I think they want us to think Country with a flair of GAY.  Yeah, I said it.  But you don't have to go full homo to sport the style.  Button the shirt half way up and add a white under shirt tank (wife beater if you will) and you'll be captivating any woman (or man at that).  The stone brown or gray shirts with the cowboy flair is what is in!   These shirts can be found all over the new Zara line.  The tops can be purchased at around $39.95 and you will DEFINITELY get the look at Urban Outfitters or even UNICLO.  Again, don't get me wrong, GUESS has never been crazy expensive, but way spend the $198 when you could drop 40 and have a nice night out?  PRIORITIES PEOPLE!  

• Cut off Black shirt with design (H&M $12.99...cut off the sleeves yourself)
• Dark Jeans - SKINNY JEANS (everyone needs a pair) $59.99 ZARA

Well, I hope this short issue has helped ya'll out a little bit!  There is more to come, keep tuning in as I will be back to slap you with more Style tips for the Spring and Summer Season...oh yeah, GET TO THE GYM!

Namaste,
