It was no mistake that I timed my LA trip for mid January. Escaping the cold to make men look hot? Sign me up! On my second to last day I met a lovely woman who, upon discovering that I’m a menswear stylist, asked me so nicely to take her husband shopping that I willingly traded in my solitary day [...]
So you’ve been invited to an event and the invitation reads “Dress To Impress”. Hmmm, sometimes you’re impressed that you remembered pants that day, so does that count?

There are tons of fall jacket options out there, from military inspired [...]
