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!

Cut It Short

A suit is quite warm to wear around the city in the spring. Cool it down with a shorter cut. An accent color, like the powder blue buck shoes, goes well with the capri length pants.

 

In The Style of Jackie O

With 1960's period pieces, such as Mad Men and Pan Am, becoming extremely popular, it is no surprise that the fashion of that era is making a comeback. Just look at this young lady wearing a collarless overcoat, with three quarter length sleeves.
