Honeysuckle Offers a Little Something for Everyone (Video)
Friday, February 25th, 2011
It's not the fragrance of the honeysuckle flower that draws the hummingbird to its nectar; it's the color.
VIDEO BELOW
Honeysuckle. According to Pantone Color Institute, it’s the color of the year, but for most men, even the name intimidates. What’s more, this color’s mere pink hue is enough to turn many men off. But honeysuckle is not a little girl’s pink; this sophisticated pink is for grown folks. Used in smaller dosages, honeysuckle can work quite well even on the most testosterone-driven man.
About honeysuckle. It’s said that the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree, and honeysuckle’s mother, red, is the most physical, viscerally alive hue in the spectrum. Be prepared for an immediate boost in your look and overall feeling when you don this color.
Here’s an interesting fact: It’s not the fragrance of the honeysuckle flower that attracts the hummingbird to its nectar; it’s the color. With that said, expect a bit of magnetism when you wear this hue.
How to incorporate honeysuckle into your wardrobe. Men can inject instant verve and vigor into their spring wardrobe by incorporating bits of honeysuckle. For the daring, pair a honeysuckle colored shirt with a navy, grey or charcoal suits. Alternatively, for a more corporate look, choose a striped design tie to offset the color with more masculine hues such as brown, navy or grey. Do keep in mind that this is a high intensity color. Make sure your attitude mirrors that intensity. Honeysuckle is a great color for warding off the winter blues. Try it! Add this lively hue to your wardrobe today.

(Pics) Not Mad At Men’s Fall 2011 Fashion – Loving It!
Thursday, January 27th, 2011
Hermès Fall 2011
Although the airing date for the fifth season of the television series “Man Men” is questionable, what’s certain is the show’s continued veritable sartorial influence on fashion. Since its 2007 premier, menswear has moved from uber-casual and overly relaxed to a more gentlemanly approach to dressing. For Fall 2010 we witnessed the minimalism trend highlighting classic shapes; timeless neutral colors; and exquisite fabrics, mixed together with a chic, modern edge. Paris runways indicated this powerful approach to dressing for men will continue through Fall 2011. Designers revealed status-raising styles, which proselytized the theory of less being more. While the sartorial trademarks of the men from the Sterling Cooper advertising agency may not soon be visible from our living rooms, one thing is certain. Stylish men have the option to continue bringing that touch of madness into their closets.

(Pics) Marc Jacobs Twisted Sister Spread Industrie Mag Spread
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011
Marc Jacobs on the Cover of Industrie Magazine
Okay, I’m not opposed to wearing items intended for the opposite sex. Hell, I’m guilty of occasionally donning boy jeans, jackets and tees. I have acquaintances who enjoy wearing men suits. (Fact is, I’m more bothered by the ill-proportioned fit than the menswear itself.) And what fashionable female doesn’t have a zesty cross-dressing besty? I certainly do; a tall, dark, gorgeous makeup artist who looks equally fabulous dressed drag or gent. With that said, I’d like to think of myself as being pretty open-minded. Nevertheless, this month’s edition of Industrie magazine, featuring Marc Jacobs dressed in womenswear, is a bit too twisted even for me. Guys who dress and look like dolls I can handle. Thigh-high stockings over hairy legs, that don high heel shoes, displaying kankles and black painted toenails, I just can’t.

(Video) Lawyers Need to Get Back to Dressing Like Lawyers
Monday, January 24th, 2011

I’ve worked in the legal industry for more than 15 years and have seen a number of changes. The most obvious change surrounds business attire. Lawyers, particularly those new to the field, seem to have forgotten that their profession is one of the highest paying and most prestigious careers on Earth. Why else would those working in an industry where “smart” dressing is the uniform of a powerful and successful lawyer dumb down to a more slovenly approach to dressing? I remember a time when aspiring professionals could learn a lot about dressing professionally from attorneys. Today, it’s hard to differentiate who’s the attorney and who’s staff. Clearly, dress codes for today’s lawyers are much different than they were 15 years ago. Still, looking crisp, polished, authoritative and professional, even when wearing business casual attire, rules. Whether choosing to sport a power suit or a relaxed look, lawyers should always dress to impress.
- Take Pride in Your Look and Your Profession
Take pride in your image as an attorney. You’ve worked hard to earn that J.D. Look the part. - Buy the Highest Quality Clothing You Can Afford
Invest in a high-quality suits. Avoid less expensive, trendier outfits. Classics will stand the test of time. You can always spice things up with accessories. - Ladies, Make Sure You’re Wearing the Right Foundations
Consider the quintessential items that should go underneath; Undergarments. That includes everything from Bras and Camisoles to Control Tops and Body Shapers. These often forgotten pieces can truly make or break your look. - Wear Colors that Flatter You
Based on your hair color, eye color and skin tone, some colors will naturally look better on you than others. Take the time to find out which colors flatter you most and build your wardrobe accordingly. - Find a Really Great Tailor
Fit is paramount. Ill-fitted clothes look cheap no matter how much they cost. Get referrals from the well-dressed people at your firm. - Find a Good Dry Cleaners, Too
Ask your fashionable friends who they use and try different ones before making a decision. - Wear Jewelry Judiciously
Tasteful accessories and jewelry can add interest to any outfit. A classic, but understated watch is a most. - Stay Light on Perfume and Cologne
Like jewelry, too much of a good thing is not a good thing at all. Think about how you reacted the last time you were trapped in an elevator with someone wearing way too much cheap perfume. Don’t let that be you! - It’s Better to Overdress than Underdress
Nobody will fault you if you dress too nicely. And you can always “dress down” if you feel overdressed in a particular situation.
