‘Fall/Winter’ Archives
Back to School in Style featuring Alex Wilson (Part II)
We received plenty of positive feedback from last Fall's "Back to Campus in Style" post featuring Alex Wilson. So much, actually, that we decided to bring him back. I, like many of our readers, appreciate his tasteful, campus (and budget) friendly style. Here, he gives us a taste of what he's been wearing this winter in his Junior year at [...]
1 Piece/3 Ways: Suede Bomber Jacket
This winter has been unbelievably mild in NYC. My heaviest coats haven't left the closet yet and I'm not sure if they will at all this year. It's the last week of January and I find myself getting more use out of mid-weight jackets (like this badass suede bomber) than any of my heavy parkas. Typically these would be more Spring-appropriate [...]
1 Piece/4 Ways: Handmade Fur Scarf
Whenever my mother (my first style inspiration, as featured here, here and here) and I get together, which, sadly, is only a few times a year, we end up working on some kind of fashion related arts and crafts project. One year we made a pair of red denim gloves that I still wear once in a while in the breast pocket of an overcoat. Over this [...]
Classic Headwear featuring Stetson & TSB Team
It's always great to have the team together - especially for showroom visits. Last month when we visited the Stetson office we were missing Westley, but Karyn - soon to be host of The Style Blogger for Her - filled in nicely. We each selected our favorite hat from their current season's well-rounded collection and styled it in our own [...]
1 piece/5 Ways: Fine-Gauge Turtleneck Sweater
For whatever reason, too many guys shy away from the turtleneck sweater. A thin turtleneck in a dark neutral color - like this forest green - works with just about anything and can instantly make your look more mature and rakish. Here I styled a fine-gage wool turtleneck from Uniqlo for 5 different occasions. 1. Evening Event or Work [...]
1 Piece/9 Ways: The Versatile Donegal Tweed 3-Piece
As I've written in the past, there are multiple advantages to seasonal suiting. In addition to the added comfort, the extended life of your garments and the pleasure of unveiling a fresh wardrobe when the weather changes, season-specific fabrics are also more versatile and more appropriate to wear as seperates than typical "four-season" [...]
1 Piece/5 Ways: Allen Edmonds Wingtip Brogue Boots
As we just discussed, a complete wardrobe has boot styles for all types of occasions. If you're only going to invest in one boot for the season, however, I would recommend a lace-up wingtip brogue, like these badass chocolate brown "Daltons" by Allen Edmonds. The trim leather sole, sharp toe and rich color make them appear dressy while the [...]
Chunky Hand-Knit Neckwear featuring Yokoo Scarves
Outerwear is getting heavier here in NYC, but it's not the dead of winter yet. With the proper use of fabrics and accessories, you can mix up your layers and keep the not-fucking-around parkas in the closet for a bit longer. I've been looking for the "perfect" chunky scarf for a couple years now, and I think I finally found it. [...]
1 Piece/3 Ways: Chunky Belted Cardigan
It's not heavy duty outerwear season yet, but it's time to start layering on some weight. As you may already know, I'm a big fan of wearing chunky sweaters, especially cardigans, as outerwear. Here, I put together three looks using one of my favorites. With a shawl collar and a belt, it has an awesome trench coat x bath robe feel, which [...]
East Coast Prep featuring F.E. Castleberry
I have to admit, I don't read many other blogs. Once I'm finished with everything it takes to manage and expand TheStyleBlogger, it's usually time to shut my computer. Ever since Jenilee introduced me to Unabashedly Prep, however, I've enjoyed watching F.E. Castleberry carve a niche by documenting the East Coast Prep subculture while [...]
