Strut To Your Own Beat, Part 2

Pink is a true spring color. It does wonders lightening up a grey plaid suit.

Tulip Blooms In NYC

I love this dress. Its simple, yet elegant tulip design is perfect for spring. The red flowers really pop against the white background. Pairing with a neutral cardigan helps to bright red accent under control.

The Legend of Billie Jean – “Fair is Fair!”

High temperatures can drive people to do crazy things to stay cool and comfortable. A pair of heeled, toe loop sandals are a great way to get cool and comfortable, while remaining classy.

A white, linen button down does not have to look ordinary. By knotting the bottom and rolling up the sleeves, this woman has created a simple and sexy look.

As the temperature heats up, remember to show a little skin. A halter or tank under the button down keeps you from being too exposed.

 

She’s A Star

A leather motorcycle vest with studded epaulets and collar is a stylish and intimidating item. Wear it over a loose, waist-length tee for added style and breathability. Also, notice how her nail polish matches the turquoise bracelet on her right wrist.

Camouflage short shorts and a pair of slouch boots are an ideal combination for showing off your tan legs in the Spring.

Sometimes it's best not to slouch.

Ruffle It Up!

A ruffled shirt is great to wear under a blazer. It gives a accent of color and texture between the lapels.

Taking Advantage Of The Heat Wave

Today, April 16th, was a superb day for capturing the streets. The temperature in New York City reached above 80 degrees, giving everyone the green light for summer clothes. Everyone, who had bought spring and summer clothes over the last month, has been waiting for a day like today to flaunt their best outfits, and we saw a lot of great ones.

This man looks as though he just stepped off the beach in Key West. His white linen pants and pale yellow button-down shirt are designed to take advantage of the cool breeze. The pale yellow fedora, with a white hat band, really pulls the outfit together. This was definitely planned ahead of time.

Stylin’ On The Phone

A contrast collar is a great way to break up an all black outfit.

The trilby hat has become very popular these days. An accessory for any outfit or gender.

 

Soho Style

Wearing a semi-sheer blouse under a waist length motorcycle jacket and over black skinny jeans is a great way to show off your layers. Make sure that there is some contrast between the items, otherwise they will blend together.

A short concave bob is a fun hairstyle that emphasizes the jawline. Add an elongated, contrasting bang for a greater "wow" factor.

Horn-rimmed sunglasses are a great way to add a bit of flare to your eyewear.

Black & Blue No Longer!

As the workplace becomes more informal, no longer are we subject to only wearing black dress pants. This individual paired a sport coat with high cuffed, burgundy chinos. Not the norm, but still a sharp look.

Jeans have always been shunned in the office environment. Today the "Power Jean" has become an institution as businessmen (and women) embrace a more casual look. As the jean is becoming more versatile, the color schemes have expanded. This man wears a navy blue sport coat with orange jeans and brown suede loafers, pulling off a causal, yet stylish look appropriate for the office of today. Also, note the orange drawstrings in his loafers; Details!
