Manvelope

Not every man is comfortable with rocking a bag let alone a manvelope.  Head over to Men's Style Fashion for a fun article I wrote on how to wear different styles of bags.  "The Man Bag--Wear It With Confidence"

Labor Day with H&M, J Crew, and Coach

     The Boss and I made another trip back to Healdsburg to hang out with our buddy John, owner of Viszlay Vineyard.  He occasionally throws a BBQ for members and friends, this was the first one we were able to attend.  Food, wine, and people were all great, unfortunately I did not win the grape stomp competition.

     This outfit was all about simplicity, lounging, and enjoying the last few days of summer.

As always, thank you for reading.

Italian Chic with Marc Jacobs & Zara

     When it comes to new designs and trends, Italians are the pioneers and trailblazers in the world of men's fashion.  Italian men have an innate ability to look as though they intentionally put an outfit together, even when they didn't.  They can walk into a McDonald's with a full wool suit on and wouldn't look overdressed.  It’s the art of trying without looking like you tried.  

     You don't often see shorts and a blazer in the states, but the combination just screams Italian summer days.  Shorts and a shirt give off a laid-back, casual look, but the simple addition of a blazer transforms it into a whole different look.  While the casual nature of a tee and denim shorts on a summer day give the outfit a “just thrown on” kind of vibe, the slim, clean lines of the ensemble also suggest that you must have put some thought into the final look.  It makes the statement that, although summer is all about being cool and comfortable, you refuse to dumb down your style because Mother Nature dictates it.
