Consider it a like a snuggie for your neck, a tube dress for the throat, and love em or hate em you are going to be seeing snoods everywhere this winter. Retailers are pushing these impulse purchases out like octomoms perhaps hoping that at their modest price points consumers will realize how cumbersome traditional scarves have become. Snoods [...]
Fair Isle knits, named after Fair Isle, a tiny island in the north of Scotland, are having a resurgence in popularity. Their distinct pattern of alternating prints in different colored bands stirs polar opinions, people either love or hate them and rarely fall in the middle. While I appreciate the rustic, country side appeal [...]
If there’s one thing retailer H&M does exceptionally well, it’s quickly bring spot-on trends to market at affordable price points (albeit dubious quality, but therein lies the eternal trifecta conundrum - you can have it cheap, fast, or good. Pick two). This is why I’m very curious to see H&M debut a new menswear collection from famed high end women’s shoemaker [...]
The 80′s style revival is in full swing and while women are being deluged with giant shoulder pads and leggings in lieu of pants (aren’t you glad for that Y chromosome?), menswear is seeing a resurgence of double breasted suits.

Not only because, in part, I’ve dedicated my life to [...]
Cyclops is angry. Who could blame him? His entire life he’s been subjugated to wearing two eye sunglasses. But no more! Designer Martin Margiela’s keen ‘futuristic’ design finally allows Cyclops the dignity he deserves. Now he just needs some size 62 Addidas kicks to complete the look.
This ad is just too good to leave back in the 70s. For those of you who had forgotten that America went through a period when an adult onesie signified “sex machine,” I present to you: The Big Zip. This Bee Gees meets Scarface meets gas station attendant getup has a spot on marketing message [...]
The Oxford shirt is aptly named for the fabric that its made from, oxford cloth, which has a distinct basket weave texture and subtle sheen. Tucked into chinos or jeans, untucked with shorts, or worn underneath a blazer, this versatile button down is a comfy summer staple. A classic blue, crisp white, and subtle print [...]
Think a Hawaiian shirt is just the thing to show off your playful side at cookouts this summer? Think again. Women generally hate these billowy bright mini muumuus. Why? Look at the fit. Most men already tend to wear clothing that’s too large for their frame. Compounding the tent tendency by sporting a ginourmous loud, garish Hawaiian shirt, (no [...]
