FALL 2010 !

Hey ! what's up guys? Its been a long time since I've posted anything on this blog but I'm back! As we all may already know fall is here and in my opinion it came way to fast but that means time to hit up the stores and get ready to layer it up ! I have done a lot of research ever since the summer time and for fall of 2010 the military look is in. Anything from military inspired jackets , to camouflage cargo pants to even combat boots ... the more you look like you're about to go to war the better. Lets not get to carried away either because remember keeping it simple its always the best way to go. Do not get everything head to toe in camouflage , remember to always mix it up. For example Fitted distressed jacket , camo cargo's and combat boots ... never mix more than one pattern in an outfit.

The leather jacket its also a big hit this fall.Top designers such as Roberto Cavalli . Marc Jacobs and Jean Paul Gaultier have included them in they're fall men's fashion line. I would recommend every guy getting a genuine leather bomber not only because it would last you for years rather than a faux one but also because you can literally wear it with any piece of clothing you own and look like a million bucks. The leather bomber would also look sick with a pair of black combat boots to give you an effortless stylish look.For guys who are always on the go ...from school to work and back don't be afraid to dress up or down the leather jacket. When I tell  you it makes any outfit look better I mean it ! You can wear anything from cargo's and sneakers to a pair of slacks and oxfords. It gives everything you wear more of an edge. Remember when purchasing the jacket make sure it is fitted ... DO NOT  GO A SIZE BIGGER because leather stretches and you don't want a sloppy feeling after the first week of wearing the jacket. For inexpensive leather jackets I recommend visiting you're local jacket stores and asking for biker jackets for the fitted look I suggest.

And as for Tops for the fall ...  bulky sweaters are a must. Its a good piece to wear on cold nights or cool mornings. They usually come with different prints on them. Since the sweaters are very thick I wouldn't recommend wearing a fitted jacket because you would look overwhelmed. A long light weight trench coat or nothing over it would be fine on a fall afternoon. Don't be afraid to get creative with these tops when it comes to picking a pattern just make sure you keep the bottom including the shoes very simple. These sweaters can be found at any H&M retail store for cheap but the one in the picture on you're left is GUCCI and can easily run in the hundreds.

This is the latest information I have for now ! I will come back and keep you guys posted if anything else pops up. Feel free to ask any questions or leave comments .

GUYS..SPRING IS ON ITS WAY. HERE ARE SOME 2010 SPRING TRENDS THAT YOU CAN FOLLOW.

- Wearing light colors such as teal , beige , orange and green. These colors will take you out of the winter era and start of the new season with a breath of fresh air. Also Blazers are always a cool way to make a laid back outfit look more dressy. Such as wearing a graphic tee-shirt ,jeans , tennis shoes and a colorful blazer. It would throw everybody off and make you feel not only stylish but also comfortable to.

- Cargos, ripped jeans ( go straight leg) and linen pants are going to be seen a lot. Its all about comfort , style and of course feeling the breeze after being all wrapped up from the winter season.


                                                        TRENCH COAT / JEAN JACKET
-  Like I said before spring is not summer so you might need a nice trench coat to wear on those cold mornings or windy nights. Colors such as beige , dark brown  and navy blue are perfect for the spring season. Try to buy one that its not to dressy so you would be able to wear it when ever you please. Go for cotton ones stay away from Silk and all those other fancy materials. Basically anything that looks good with a pair of sneakers or shoes and something long enough that passes your waste but short enough so you wont trip over it.  TRY AMERICAN EAGLE.. GREAT SPRING SELECTION. Jean Jackets have become an item that is commonly being seen. It goes great with absolutely anything and makes a regular outfit pop up a little more. Another cool thing about the jean jacket is that you can customize it to fit your personality by adding pins or studs w.e you want to put on it that saids something about yourself. GREAT SELECTION AT ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH.


- Sperry top siders , converses ,  tennis shoes and slip ons are always good for spring. These type of shoes are very comfortable because of the diffrent ways you can use them. From a day out on the town or just hanging at the beach . Get a pair you wont be afraid to get scuffed up and a color that can go with any outfit such as tan , navy blue or black.

-  Caps are also going to be seen a lot this spring... from Polo , Billionare boys club and  Lacoste ones they are back in style. You should have a couple or just  buy a good durable one. These can become very handy espeacially for those who love being outside. They can act as a part of your outfit or even shade from the sun. Name brand ones go for as low as $20.00 and can be found anywhere.



Sunglasses - In my opinion every guy should own a pair of nice shades they can throw on when the sun is out. No , I'm not talking about those Big white Daddy Yankee ones that take your entire face . Every guy should get one that compliments theyre face and can be worn with most of the clothing they own. I would reccomend sticking to black or brown ones since they show a sign of sophistication. The most popular ones at the moment are Ray Bans. They come in almost every color possible and range from  $110.00 - $200.00. I would say go for the " wayfarer" or "aviator" style.These are perfect for regular days out or even somewhere more formal such as prom. If some of you guys dont want to spend much on some sunglasses you can always go to retailers such as Pacsun , ALDO , Zumies  and many others that have the exact same replica of raybans for only $12.00
