Designing men, celebrity-style

October 5th // Comment Here

Rather than sink all their creative energy into performing, actors Matthew McConaughey and David Arquette, musician Ben Harper, and hip-hop impresario Russell Simmons have carved out a niche for themselves in of-the-moment sportswear.

McConaughey’s beachwear line, J.K. Livin’ (named after his personal motto, “Just keep livin”), has a low-key, rock-vintage/surfer vibe. See it at jklivinstore.com:

Harper and Arquette’s Propr collection cuts edgier and a little more punk

And Simmons’s label, Phat Farm,
is the height of streetwise – a mix of urban and prep.

Men’s Fashion Tips – Instant Office Upgrade: The Plaid Dress Shirt

August 11th // 2 Comments

If the solid dress shirts in your closet are feeling a little stale and uninteresting, a crisp plaid or check can deschlump you right away. To get it right, balance bolder checks against a solid tie, or a subtly patterned tie in a dark tone. I’m crazy for these classic combinations:

Season Two of Mad Men just came out on DVD – a sure sign that I won’t be getting much work done this week. I always find myself distracted by the beautiful clothes on this show – specifically Don Draper’s single-breasted suits and narrow ties. So I couldn’t be more excited about all the gorgeous suits on sale at the moment.

So I’m wondering: Did you ever get a crazily good deal on a suit? And if so, where did you buy it?

Men’s Fashion Tips – The Secret to Going Sockless

August 4th // Comment Here

The idea of wearing lace-up Oxfords without socks in summer is so appealing. The idea of blisters… not so much.

Given the smiles on these insanely chic twins (photographed this month in Florence by Scott Schuman and posted on his brilliant fashion blog, thesartorialist.com), we’re guessing they’ve wisely invested in some Band-Aid Blister Block Sticks – one of the greatest inventions of all time – and/or some talcum powder and no-show socks. Whatever the secret, I’m glad to see these guys conjoined in hipness.

Men’s Fashion Tips – Zac Efron and the Beanie

August 4th // 2 Comments

Here’s proof that Zac Efron looks good in everything. The trick to wearing a floppy, knitted skullcap? Pair it with something this basic and uncomplicated. If you’re somewhere up north or in the mountains, we guarantee you’ll never want to take it off. (If you’re somewhere hot, check out our other hat picks.)

Your turn: Would you ever wear an oversized beanie?
