SPOTTED & INSPIRED: Cable Knit Shawl Collar Jumper

SPOTTED & INSPIRED

Adam Gallagher sporting Nautica Cable Knit Shawl Collar Jumper & Plaid Button Down.

I have always been a big fan for Shawl Collars and always hated turtle neck jumpers. So today's style advice is inspired by Adam Gallagher's street look and his Nautica jumper.

It's one of the must useful garment. You can wear it at work, on weekends, for bars, restaurants, and for any casual occasions. Just wear a shirt inside, throw a blazer over the jumper and layer shawl collar over the blazer. Here is the key of art of layering! :)

It's cool, it's warm, and it's an wardrobe essential!

Leather Jacket Rules for 2014-15!

No men’s wardrobe is complete without at least 2 leather jackets. It’s not a question of age or size. It is a MUST! Why? Because it’s a wardrobe heritage that will never go out of fashion! It’s a big trend since 1950s.

Besides it’s so equal to biker and bad boy/though guy look, which is always the biggest attraction for women; and also guys.

Leather is sexy. Leather is quality. Leather is a man essential…

Leather jackets has always been considered to be among menswear’s greatest staples.

After saying many good things about leather I have to add that leather trousers are not as welcomed as jackets. In fact don’t wear them at all.

As I mentioned that leather jackets are in fashion since 1950s it’s tricky to keep the style updated which means that the cut of the jacket is crucial.

1. No aviator cut
2. Bomber style is the best!
3. Biker jacket always cool!
4. Coloured leather jackets are bold and trendy.
5. No leather jackets with faux furs anywhere.

There are many ways that you can rock your leather jackets in the most trendy way. 

• Backpacks are one of the ways for an urban street look.
• Opting for a brown leather jacket is an easy way to lend vintage-inspired design.
• Trainers or cool biker boots would be the clever choices with your leather jacket.
• Beanies. It’s not just with leather jackets. Always wear a beanie in winter. That’s what cool guys do. :)
• Combine it with your office look. It looks really good.  (You can see how it is done by Benjamin Eidem)

Winter Calling | Time to layer up! (Including a giveaway - $50 gift cards !)

I have always been a layering fan when it comes to men’s fashion. Therefore I think winter is a great style opportunity. But it’s not and never should be just throwing on as many clothes as you can. Layering style is an art!

Layering is alls about being versatile which gives you an opportunity to mix up. The ones you should have are:

- Shirt or T-Shirt
- Cardigan
- Blazer
- Vest
- Jumper (only in some cases).

In a daily look you can always use a t-shirt and a cardigan with a shirt inside for a classic layering look during the day. But when it comes to office style or a gents look my advice would be a vest and a blazer which gives you the look of a catch with a sharp and effortless style.

PS: To be honest I can easily say that men’s vests are kind of a turn on for women. 

THE NAUGHTY SCHOLAR LOOK NEVER GETS OLD! 

Simon Baker is the first name that I can think about for vests. Justin Timberlake and David Beckham are the other runner ups who make the vests work as the coolest edgy style!

That also shows us that you don’t have to wear a tie every time you go with a vest. Rolled up sleeves are a must though…

If you are new to vests try to go with the colour grey. This is the safest choice. √ But you can always be more bold and go with Nick Wooster's style too...

#ShoePorn for Men!

Shoe addiction may seem like just for women but this is not true. Even if it’s true that means women look at your shoes and criticize your taste. Either way you have to be careful and selective as a men when it comes to shoes.

Men shoes have an informal look for Spring 2014, but are yet very stylish. If you are a conservative guy in means of style try the ones with laces.  One of the hottest trends in men’s shoes for the season are the solid soles, decorated with metal elements or unexpected colours. But I – personally- don’t like metals in men’s shoes unless they are just for decoration. The most popular models of men’s designer shoes for the spring of 2014 are moccasins, loafers, slippers and chukkas. Smooth leather, suede and nubuck keeps their ranking in fashion. You will also find that reptile skin and reptile skin imitations are another popular choice of material for men’s shoes. Combinations of materials with different textures are also possible.

My DO’s

• Loafers (just for a business look)
• Sandals & flip flops with Bermudas
• Trainers (always)
• Chukkas

My DON’Ts

• Reptile Skin
• Too much metal elements
• Pointy-toed shoes
• Flip flops with boot cut jeans

Vibrant colours, like cobalt blue, emerald green and cherry are another popular trends in men’s shoes for this season. Of course, the traditional colours like black and brown are not excluded. You can also try floral prints for espadrilles too (Which I like a lot!)

Here is the editor’s pick (which is me in this case) for shoe shopping!

RIPPED JEANS: 5 REASONS YOU SHOULD TRY

Take on the latest denim trend set to go big this summer

Words By Chantelle Symester via TopManMagazine

1. DON'T GO OTT You needn't look like you've been dragged at 50mph down the road by your jeans nor should you opt for the 'shabby chic' - read hobo look (we promise you, it doesn't look good). The great thing about Topman's latest ripped jean's range is that there are just enough slits and rips to make it look cool rather than try hard or just plain wrong. 
   
2. 
   
   SMARTEN IT UP You needn't look like you've been dragged at 50mph down the road nor should you opt for the hobo look (it doesn't look 'shabby chic' btw). Adding some ripped jeans to a relatively smart outfit will work because you are balancing out each element. We like the idea of teaming yours with a nice fresh shirt and this drop shoulder coat.
   
   


3. STAY UP ON THE TRENDS The distressed look is making a comeback this season and these subtle knee slits on these spray on style jeans will make sure you are way ahead of the curve. (Plus it'll be extra ventilation when it gets a bit hotter).
   


4. DARK DENIM= SUBTLE Still too shy to try - work with a darker colour which will tone the look down.
   


5. ADD SOME DETAIL TO DRESSED DOWN ATTIRE When your simple everyday attire needs a bit of a life why not throw on some ripped spray ons? It's an easy, instant update and pretty much a no-brainer.
