Introducing Figs, the New Neckwear Label for Men

April 1st // 1 Comment

There are two reasons I love Figs, an indie neckwear label out of Santa Monica. The first and most obvious reason being the entire collection is just plain cool: Polka dot bow ties, classic houndstooth, and summery knit ties. But what really turned my adoration from interested to head-over-heels obsessed is the philanthropy behind it. For each tie purchased, Figs donates a uniform to an impoverished child in Kenya and Tanzania so that they can attend school.

Prices range from $125 to $140 for ties, but when you factor in the cost of a child’s uniform, this price tag seems pretty reasonable to me. Check out the whole collection here.

Lots of love,

Men’s Style: Bow Tie Not Just Black Tie

November 21st // 1 Comment

The bow tie has been revived and seen on male celebrities like Kanye West and David Beckham, styled to become part of day to day wear. The bow tie is no longer exclusively for weddings, prom or black tie affairs, however, I still do love the bow tie look for big events. Check out this photo of Kanye and get inspired to make a statement by pairing a bow tie with jeans or slacks.
