Hello Everyone!
Welcome to the newest Edition of
Men's Fashion NYC!
So all this weekend I got to travel to Princeton to visit my cousin and a few family members I haven't seen in a few years. It was a truly wonderful weekend and I didn't want it to end. I went to Philadelphia for the first time as well. While on this trip I had the chance to peak into the new DETAILS magazine focusing on the newest Fall Fashions to be introduced to East Coast stores this month. One ad that really sparked my mind was the newest D&G winter ad. Here is one of my favorites:
As you can see, this ad is giving you
alot! The thing I'd like to point out are the Trapper hats on the men. Last season, American Eagle tried to make these a popular winter
accessory but failed miserably. This season, I am a true believer that they will be the hot item on the streets in the deathly cold weather expected this winter.
If you haven't noticed, this summer has been fairly mild, meaning we will be having not just a tough winter, but a brutal one. We can already feel the forthcoming winter in early September!
Now, These Trapper Hats run about $1,219.00 at D&G. 'I don't think so' was my reaction when peeking at the price tag. I also was a little thrown off by how large and
RIDICULES they were! Then I thought to myself, I'm going to find one that is similar, but about 85% less...and not so HUGE. And of course, I succeeded!
This is the same type of Trapper, yet a little different. Not from D&G, but from H&M! and not $1,000...12.95! Now, I have tried on a few different models of Trapper Hat, and they all have to be engineered
correctly for them to even think about being close to
attractive. The cut on this specific one is perfect. It's not too drastic, yet makes a fashion statement. You can also grab the scarf that can
accompany it for the same price! This could be worn in these Different combinations of clothing below the brow:
Option 1:
Mostly Black. Dark base colored
long sleeve shirt or thermal under a BLACK high collared
cardigan zip-up/sweater. Make sure the sweater is solid black, patterns in this option won't work. (Optional matching stole/scarf tucked into the sweater) Black slacks or dark jeans/dark grey. Black high boots, preferably riding boots or ankle. If Ankle Boots are the chosen option, then make sure the slacks cover the top...the riding boots will go over the pant. Grey Gloves.
Option 2:
Deep
Pattern. Use a
long sleeve solid colored shirt or thermal under a flannel or deep red striped sweater. No Bright colors. Think Maroon/Deep Blue/Forrest Green. Deep blue jeans tucked into riding boots
or tucked into
Timberlands...yes
Timbs. Brown Gloves.
Option 3:
Naked. Always a hit in bed,
hehe.
I am very excited to be wearing this hat this winter and I guarantee you, you'll be a hit on the streets. Make sure you
don't forget your AVIATOR shades as the sun bouncing off the snow and
buildings will be a little much.
So there is a little idea of mine when it comes to the newest D&G edition. Later on this week, I will be discussing Daniel Radcliffe's London style in our
midst and also delve further into looking your best this season the D&G way....just without having to beg once a week on the A train and make up a child
acro team on the N train....
Truly,
Marcus
