Trend Report: Four Basic Essentials

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

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.

The Name is Bond…James Bond

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

For all you 007 lovers out there, we have some good news: a new James Bond film is to be released by MGM around November 2012. Yes, it is a little while from now, but you can start dressing the part early. Maybe the film will bring back some of that old Hollywood class, unlike the travesty we call Hollywood today.

So what did happen to the grandeur, the romanticism, and the spectacle of the old Hollywood? Did the paparazzi contribute to its decline? Was it all the prescription drugs? Instead of sticking to alcohol and demur trips to the restroom, stars have gone excessively off the deep end with drug addiction and partying. Their risque photos are splashed everywhere, showing everything from crotch shots to sweaty pole dancing. Now we’re not condemning partying, but really, can’t celebrities just keep their cool? Like stay out of jail and rehab at least (insert a strung out photo of poor, rich Lindsay Lohan here)?

Actually, we WILL insert a strung out photo of Lindsay here, just to show an example of what not to look like:

Enough with the demise of Hollywood. Like we said earlier, things are looking up for Mr. Bond and hopefully the new film won’t disappoint. So with Mr. James Bond, classic Hollywood stars, and high class celebrities in mind, we have some cufflinks for you:

And for any Top Secret missions you may be taking anytime in the near future, you may want to bring along these little gadgets, because you never know when you’ll need a microchip handy. Although, we don’t actually recommend you trying to install these cufflinks into your PC, I-Phone, or use them to hack into some government agency computer system… because, alas, they are just for show:

And we’ll end this post with something classy, simple, and representative of “old Hollywood glamor” we so dearly miss:

….Because you can never go wrong with a classic pair of Silver Knot Cufflinks. And while Hollywood is getting its drug addiction, scandals, and fashion mishaps together, we’ll still be here bringing you the good stuff.

We predict that a classier comeback will be made in Hollywood soon and people will get tired of the strung out stars we see on the tube (but we’re not fortune tellers or anything, so please don’t contact us about predicting whether your chihuahua will recover from surgery or not). The point is, put down your “Star” magazine and follow us weekly..
