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,
