MEN'S NEW WAYS OF WEARING STRIPES FOR SPRING

Stripes is a hot trend for spring gentlemen.  Look for new ways to mix stripes into your look and pair together in new combinations.  Go from large stripes to discrete stripes in pants, shirts, and vests.  But step up from the striped button down shirt into a bolder look.  The key to wearing stripes is knowing your body type.  Larger stripes make you appear broader and wider.  This works well for men on the upper half.  Thin stripes are more slimming and if vertical, make you appear slimmer.  For spring, stripe patterns in varying sizes is a hot trend.  Look for this on t-shirts.

Vests are an edgy and trendy look for men.  They are season-less as well.  Wear this with a button down shirt  and blazer in winter.  As it warms up, just add a fitted long sleeve knit shirt or t-shirt.  The buttons on this John Varvatos vest give it the cool, hip edge.  Available at Lost Boys Georgetown. John Varvatos Vest, $498

John Varvatos Vest

Striped denim and cotton pants (think Gold Cup, Spring BBQ's, & more) are the quintessential piece for spring.  This can take your look from preppy (think pink button down and polo shirts), to hipster (graphic t-shirts), to edgy musician (paired with a vest), to sleek urbanite (Hermes belt and blazer).  

   

Shipley and Halmos "Rhodes" Pants, $215 (at Lost Boys Georgetown)

Shirts:

Forever 21 Striped Shirt, $16.90

J. Crew Long Sleeve Shirt, $65

Striped Blazer Look:  Wear it with neutrals or make it pop with bolder colors such as purple or pink.

How will you be sporting Stripes this spring?

Happy Shopping,

MEN'S VEST'S...STRUT YOUR STUFF ON THE WEEKENDS OR TO WORK IN STYLE

From casual cool to trendy for work, a vest is just the trend to wear this fall and winter.  Vests are a versatile garment for men to wear to work with dress pants and a button down, either with a tie and buttoned, or without a tie tuck in the shirt with a modern belt and vest unbuttoned.  To style it for night or the weekends, pair it with denim, sleek boots, and a button down with the vest open or buttoned up.  Belts, watches, and bracelets give this look the stylized edge.

 

 

Trends in vests include textured fabric, tuxedo and leather piping elements, contrast stitching, and colors such as gunmetal gray, dark berry, and navy blue.  Add a sheen for a dressier look!

Nerdy + Sexy- try sleek sneakers in a dark hue, such as black, gunmetal gray, or burgundy.  A gray blazer over a hoodie and add a watch.  Fit is important so take off the baggy clothing and added a more fitted look in your jeans, shirts, or jackets.  Everything doesn't have to be fitted but at least one main piece should be (jacket, shirt, pants).
