  • Trend Report: Four Basic Essentials

    Posted on November 10, 2010 by Amber S.
    GQ magazine recently featured some invaluable resources for men in regards to fashion.

    GQ magazine recently featured some invaluable resources for men in regards to fashion. Calling it their “Fall Report,” they have carefully selected the hottest trends, accessories, and looks for the modern man of 2010. We have a picked out a few that we especially love. First up, the Three Piece Suit:

    What’s great about the three piece suit is the added touch of class, found in a single element: the vest. Yes, these suits may cost a bit more than the standard two piece suit, but like GQ mentions in their feature, “it keeps you looking sharp when you remove your jacket.” And these Black Dial Cufflinks are some basic, inexpensive accessories that could bring the look full circle:

    The next look we love is the Small, Lightweight Turtleneck. Turtlenecks are great for the fall/winter season for obvious reasons (they keep you warm…if we have to spell it out for you), but they go great under suit and sport jackets. Plus they are a warm substitute for that stifling collared shirt. Make sure the turtleneck you choose isn’t too chunky, but fine-gauge and fits high around the neck, like this one:

    The man bag and sunglasses don’t hurt the look either: we especially love the extra finishing touches that really bring together an ensemble, like a stunning pair of Silk Knot Cufflinks:

    The next little accessory that is not to be shunned, is the Plaid Necktie. No, we’re not talking about Paul Bunyan plaid here, and we don’t expect you to go on a wood chopping rampage in your overalls…but really plaid is back this season and may be here for the long run. These new plaid ties have a slimmer cut,  a smaller tie knot, and are unlined to give a “draping effect.”

    And lastly, for this week’s style update, we want to mention once again, our love of TWEED. (And please don’t substitute out the “T” and think we’re talking about something else…but you can if you want…) For those of you who follow this blog, you might remember a post focused on texture, one of which was tweed. Well GQ has also exhibited their love of tweed and it’s storming runways around the world:

    And to quote Jim Moore on this subject, he says that “[tweed] looks good over and under everything. It’s got that mannish personality to it, where it stands up well to an elegant shirt and tie, or looks good with a fisherman’s sweater.” And Mr. Moore, we completely agree.

    Black is a mystic color which absorbs all other colors without reflecting any, it entices strong emotions which can be overwhelming at some point, it is often related to power and authority as we see today in most of the greatest business men outfits.

    The use of the color black in outfits can often make the person who wears it look thinner, classy and very elegant. Black cufflinks give the feeling of perspective and depth especially when it is combined with bright colors creating an aggressive color scheme which always grabs attention in a positive way. The use of the color black in cuff links is meant to balance the contrast of other colors which may be combined with it resulting in an elegant mixture that is why it is perceived as a symbol of prestige.

    Facts about the color black:

    • In Chinese culture the color black is associated with winter, water and north. This association corresponds to their beliefs about the five elements, the seasons and directions. The five elements are water, wood, earth, fire and wind, this concept varies from among different beliefs, others say that the five elements are earth, air, water, fire and spirit.
    • Black implies weight, when people compare two identical objects, one white and the other black, they often deduce that the black one is heavier than the white one; interestingly enough when a person wears this color people perceive a thinner figure which is the opposite perception.
    • The color black is associated with sophistication and elegance. Limousines, tuxedos, Judge’s robes are all typically black. In social events and important meetings, black, is an unspoken standard which is why these events are referred to as “black tie events”
    • Black is a silent and uncharted color which reflects power, wealth and sophistication. Black is said to produce a real sensation even if the color implies a total absence of light which is at the same time different from the lack of all sensation.

    Great examples of elegant black cufflinks are:

    Silver and Black Compass Cuff Links: These are perfect to brake away from the routine and are most certainly unique.
