Sunnies & Hats

So many of us guys neglect the accessories department of our closet, and they too are staples in a gentleman's wardrobe. Sunglasses and Hats can complete your look binding everything beautifully together to look effortless and dapper! These are a few of my favorite combinations of how I believe sunnies and hats should be paired.

The Fedora Hat is taking the mens world by storm again, this hat can be dressed up, or down depending upon your mood this hat is extremely versatile and looks good on the masses! Pair the Fedora with classic Wayfarer shades for a cool look like so.



The beanie is also a classic and can be found in many renditions, from slouchy for the hipsters out there or fitted for a more rugged look either way the beanie isn't going anywhere anytime soon! Like the beanie, the classic aviator can be worn with nearly anything and take a look to a different level of cool. The aviator and the beanie make a cool combination together so they are best together! 



Next time you plan an outfit, step outside your comfort zone a bit and try on a hat. If you're feeling extra daring, throw some sunnies in there too and you will be surprised with how much different your originally planned outfit will look!

Fifty Shades Of Blue

Blue, a staple for any wardrobe blue comes in many hues. Navy Blue happens to be a favorite of mine, it can be casual, or elegant. For the winter months layering is necessary for survival, and today was no exception. I decided to take a stroll through this winter wonderland, here is what I wore.




This toggle sweater was the perfect layering piece without sacrificing any style or comfort. I especially love this look with a chambray shirt and knit tie for texture.

The Jacket was a nice thin layer for extra warmth, and style.





How do you guys layer up for the winter months?

Lost In Fallen Leaves

There is something so captivating about fall, even taking a simple stroll 
can be the most beautiful occurrence. 
It was a brisk day so I decided to layer up 
here's what I wore.


Kept it pretty simple for this casual look, the jean jacket is such a staple in my wardrobe 
I wear it when I need an extra piece for style, to keep warm, or both!
I paired the jacket with camouflage trousers, a crisp white button down
and lightweight orange sweater for a pop of color.






I loved this look it was so warm and the orange really made this look something special that
another color wouldn't have made it possible. The brown boots also helped
tie this look together into a cohesive look. 

These shots where so much fun I love fall, seeing the leaves falling just
makes shoots that much more worth it! How do you guys
layer up for fall

Sporty Summer

Hi guys, classes have begun again, and what a better way to kick off the semester in a comfort and style heres what I am wearing.

This look is the perfect combination of sport and summer casual,
 the khaki chinos give the outfit that touch of dapper appeal when paired with a jean jacket.
The pieces that really tied this look together was both the floral tie, and golden lapel flower.
To finish the look off I threw on some burgundy sneaks 








This look was something I would not usually gravitate toward, but I found that I enjoyed this look, and kept finding myself looking down at my brighter than normal kicks. Its normal to fall into habits as we are human, but every so often challenge yourself to step outside of your comfort zone you may be surprised to find that you like something you would not normally consider!
I am glad I gave this look a run!

Have you guys stepped outside of your comfort zone recently? I would love to hear some stories! Comment below.

Color Me Bold

Blue, Yellow, and white are all colors that compliment each other so well, but how many would dare to combine them in the same outfit? Today thats exactly what I have done for a daring summer look, heres what I am wearing.
.


Today I am wearing a bold blue blazer from Zara, with a simple white button down shirt from Calvin Klein. I took on the bold color choices as a challenge to make these colors work perfect together, and what better color to pair it with then a crisp, pristine pair of white pants from H&M. By keeping the rest of the outfit minimal I was able to accomplish a bright but toned look with exciting pops of color without being too overpowering.


Blazer: Zara

Pants: H&M

Shoes: Zara

Suit Up


There is something so special about a well made suit, whether it is for a special occasion,
or event the suit is a guaranteed way to turn some heads. Every suit is different
from fit, to color the perfect suit is out there for everyone!
Today I took a stroll through suburban paradise, heres what I am wearing.

I can't stress enough how important it is to have a well fitting suit in your arsenal of mens wear to break out every so often. The suit is a timeless piece and always the proper choice when choosing to "dress up" I was ecstatic to find this suit that needed very few alterations as ready to wear suits are usually few and far between. 

Investing in a suit is integral to your wardrobe 
You can wear the suit in separates, or you can wear it together when dressing a little more formal. 
No matter what option you choose know that the suit is the correct choice.
