ROCKIN' T-SHIRT STYLES FOR MEN FOR LABOR DAY & BEYOND
A t-shirt is a staple in men's closets, but the style of shirts vastly varies as does the neckline and sleeves. Going for a higher quality shirt...Makers such as Vince, Hugo Boss, Shipley & Halmos, Theory carry stylish t-shirts that are made to last and fit men well. Most designers make basic t-shirts so look for who you wear well and go for it! Upgrade your look with trendy accessories. Belts, shoes, watches, sunglasses all finish off your look and take you from drab to fab!
Styling Your T-Shirt:
Add some style to your polo shirt with prints or stripes. Print on print is a casual yet elegant trend. Go for bold with this Polo Ralph Lauren striped polo shirt. Make it pop by pairing it with green pants or orange. If colored pants is too much for you, add a colored belt to finish off your look with style.
Zip Polo's, such as this by Salvatore Ferragamo, amp up your style game with a twist on an old classic. Perfect for casual BBQ's and boat parties. Add a blazer, in gray, to transition to a nighttime look. Brioni, Ferragamo, and Dior carry this trend.

CUFFED DENIM....PERFECT FOR NOW INTO FALL!
Cuffed denim is a hot look for any age and body. From boyfriend jeans and casual looks, to dressed up skinnies and heels, this look is here to stay.
What you pair with your denim can dress up or down your look and make you look trendy and fashion-forward. The length of your denim and wear you cuff your jeans also sets a part your look. Numerous rolled cuffs is a more dated look, so style your cuffed denim by just rolling up one cuff.
Denim Don'ts
These women's denim is all styled wrong for her body shape. The denim is too loose at the ankles which makes her appear larger from waist to bottom. To make her look slimmer, she should try a boyfriend jean (baggier or roomier in the legs with skinnier bottoms, or a straight leg jean and cuff that).
Cuffed Jeans DO's:
- Do make it look like you did it on purpose. Meaning, avoid the I-just-didn't-have-time-to-tailor-my-jeans-so-I'm-rolling-them look.
- Do wear fabulous shoes or sandals. Your shoes become more of a highlight with cuffed jeans, so make sure they are cool (or at the very least clean!)
- Roll skinny, fitted, boyfriend jeans.
- Wear with heels, flats, booties...you name it!
Cuffed Jeans DON'Ts:
- Don't cuff your jeans if it is freezing outside. Cold ankles are never chic.
- Please don't cuff bell-bottom jeans. Your feet will end up looking like...well...bells!
Dressed Up Glam
Heels are the key to this look. Strappy sandals are great for summer into early fall. Swap to shoe booties as the cooler weather hits. To style this look correctly, the denim should be cuffed with an inch to an inch and a half above your ankle, in other words the length of the denim is longer for a dressed up look.
Causal Cool
This style is perfect for a weekend casual look. Flat sandals or flats pair well with cuffed denim. The belt and jewelry add a touch of glamour to her otherwise casual look.
Boyfriend Jeans Looks

MUCH ADO ABOUT BRAS & BRA STRAPS...TO SHOW OR NOT?
Whether to show your bra and bra straps is an age old question. Stylists and fashionistas vary their opinions on this. Carrie Bradshaw truly made a bra the statement piece in a lot of her wardrobe ensembles on Sex and the City. The key is if you are going to show your bra or bra straps, make a statement with it. It does not look chic to be wearing a colored tank top and have a skin tone bra strap sticking out, nor does a black top with a black bra strap out look great. Go bold with it and don't do it at all.
For those ladies with large bossom's, you are in luck. Find stylish bras and you can show off those straps and bra's. Just look for elegant shoulder straps (not the large thick ones) to add flare to your look.
Style Tips:
Sheer ensembles with a coordinating bra color are a sexy yet stylish option. This look can be very classy and chic when done right. Flat fabric bras work best under sheer tops or go for a lace ensemble. Layer classy accessories to keep this look chic for day or night.
Visible Bra Looks can be very sexy and trendy. Pick a statement bra that contrasts the color of your top or dress. It should be very obvious that you are wearing a bra to be seen, aka Sarah Jessica Parker style. Fun colors and prints or lacy details work best. Black and white is always a hot combination.

This is a Style NO!
