3 Trends For Winter
Accents of Icy Blue
I know I have gone on and on about using a pop of red to elevate your look, but during the winter that feels… to obvious and kind of boring. Lately, I have been loving icy blue as a winter accent. I find it so soft and elegant against all the neutrals of winter.
Scarves
Triangle scarves have been quite popular with the girlies, but I find them chic on men as well. If form and function is your goal, try stacking your scarves for a cocoon like comfort.
Brown Sneakers
This winter everyone is swapping their vibrant red and yellow sneakers for the supremely sophisticated neutral that is brown. Whether they’re suede or leather, brown shoes are defiantly the move for winter.

5 Fashion Books For Men’s Fashion Enthusiasts
Giorgio Armani: Images Of Man - Richard Martin
A book that captures the few season between 1975 - 1990 that really made Armani the reference point for laid back tailored style.
Take Ivy - Thayashida
The perfect book for anyone looking to explore Ivy style.
J.Crew: 40 Years Of American Style
Really great lessons in styling. Lots of loose fits, layering and colors. I particularly loved the 80’s section.
Cheap Chic - Carl Troy
If you are looking to master high low dressing, this is the Bible.
Do Something - Guy Trebay
Not a book about style, however inspired by style. In his memoir, Guy Trebly tells his story of finding purpose and meaning as he navigates the glamorous and gritty world of New York City in the 70’s. A brilliant read that gives us a real sense of what it takes to pursue a dream with authenticity and elegance.
