How To: Menswear in Summer

I'm not repeating how obsessive I am when it comes to menswear (wait, I just did!), but the summer heat does make the oversize blazers, dress shoes and pinstripes a bit overwhelming. Still, the call for boyfriend steals is much more appealing to me than laced dresses and sweet chiffon. The tricks for menswear in the summer? Lightweight materials and rolled-up sleeves. Switch to summer pantsuits (linen to the rescue) for a more relaxed silhouette in hot days. Oversize boyfriend shirts and jeans are only more chic when rolled up. Finally, trade those cool blucher  shoes for sneakers. Help you run errands better in the sun anyway. 

Happy dressing up!

It's A Man's World

 It's amazing how a men-inspired outfit can make you feel instantly cool and chic. And doesn't everyone feel just so overwhelmingly happy it's finally sweater and boots weather? :3

Trend Report: Suit Up!

I know, I know, when did blazers ever go out of style? They in fact can be the most versatile piece in your entire wardrobe: you can literally cover up any outfit with a blazer for an instant "chic" makeover. This season, the runway seems to steer toward the "luxe tux," a little more black-tie-optional than your average blazer, and again very much menswear inspired. Think about YSL's Le Smoking with more modern and daring cut.
