Menswear Inspired (Part III), featuring Jenilee Thornton
As I'm sure most of you remember, Jenilee was the site's first photographer/intern. Not only is she a talented photographer with equal parts cute and smart, she's also one of the most stylish girls I've ever met. The best part is, she loves menswear and pulls it off better than most men! See her first feature here. We caught up with Jeni [...]
Borrowing from Her Closet, featuring Karyn Bailey
There is no doubt that fashion is a women's game. In my brief stint as a menswear buyer for a major luxury retailer, I found it disheartening to see that 85% of total sales were in womenswear (and 65% of the menswear purcahsed was sold to women!). Not only does the opposite sex love to shop, they also have endless outlets and options. All too [...]
TSB x Barneys – Spring Styling
Last week The Style Blogger Team joined forces with retail powerhouse Barneys New York to style and shoot a small collection of looks from product currently available in the store. Men's sportswear buyer Jay Bell and I teamed up to style the looks at the Madison Avenue flagship, although admittedly he did the vast majority of the styling [...]
Sunday’s Best
Easter weekend, regardless of your religious affiliations, is often a weekend filled with family get togethers and outtings with loves ones. Whether it's out of respect for a higher being, or to keep up with our better halves and their excuse to wear a cute new Spring dress, it's also a weekend synonymous with dressing "proper". Sartorially, [...]
Season 1/Episode 3: “Setting the Bar”
Enjoy Episode 3! Don't forget to set the video to HD (and Full Screen if you want) in the toolbar at the bottom of the video screen. Thanks for reading/viewing. Yours in style, SB
Innovative Accessories, Part 1: Removable Fur Collar
Managing this site has been quite an experience, although describing can be difficult. It has been exciting, fulfilling, demanding, overwhelming, etc. One of the reasons it has been so successful, in my opinion, is because I try to write with a voice that can be understood by a wide variety of men. I've met readers ranging from 15 year olds [...]
A Century of Menswear – Decade Inspirations
"History is the best teacher" - ancient Latin proverb It's no secret that as we evolve, we continue to learn from our past successes and failures. The manner in which we present ourselves - including our personal appearance/image/style - is no different. This is my dissertation - one (or two) look(s) inspired by each of the past nine decades in [...]
Season 1/Episode 2: “Now Hiring”
Enjoy Episode 2! Our goal is to release a new video episode on the 1st of every month. As I've mentioned, we've been looking to add a new intern to the thestyleblogger.com team. Because we value the opinion of our readers, we decided to make the search interactive. Therefore, after viewing Episode 2, feel free to participate in the poll [...]
Season 1/Episode 1: “Anything is Possible”
The SB Team presents: Episode 1! It was a little tricky finding the correct balance between behind-the-scenes "reality show" and instructional styleblogger post. Keep in mind, we are a couple guys with one camera, and the videos will only get better with time - as the posts have. Looking forward to reading your comments. Make sure to [...]
Standing Out & “Blending In” – A Post On Camouflage
Today we're taking a look at a current popular trend in menswear: camouflage. (Sorry, I missed the blizzard, but don't worry we have plenty of freezing-cold weather posts coming soon) Lately camo has been popping up on everything from small accessories to tailored garments and, as with any bold pattern, it's a game of high risk/high [...]
