Washed Button-down Shirt – Summer Essential of the Week

July 9th, 2008

Man, there’s nothing more comfortable to wear towards the end of the Summer season than a pre washed button-down (other than a summer cashmere sweater, but that’s a whole nother post). This week I chose the Pre-washed button down because its classic and casual and feel good on the weekends and on those days you don’t want to wrap on the tie. Below are a few shirts I checked out while looking for the right fit. Throw it on with some jeans tucked out by day, and tuck them in and throw on a jacket by night.

 


J. Crew
A signature collection for naval wear. Looking for a nice shirt at the last second for a beach party? Walk into any J. Crew store and in 5 mins flat and walk right out with what you came for. They have a great full selection of worn-in clothing from blazers and Polo’s to trousers to cut off chino’s. Not to mention the right accessories to match. The shirts have a great slim fit with a smidgen of extra room in the chest area for you bench pressers. I’d even go as far to say grab a linen shirt while your at it.

 


Ralph Lauren
What can I say if you want great quality shirt at a good price R.L. is the collection you can depend on. Another plus is that R.L. Has big sizes.

Summer Essential of the Week – Belts

June 4th, 2008
Belts! You can wear them with Jeans, Chino’s Khakis, etc. Some of us need em, and some of us use them to complete the look. Whatever your reason for its usage, you can’t go wrong with the right colors and patterns. I personally like stripes and weaves with leather stitched in the ends. Try staying away from the oversized buckles, and graphic patterns (its a little too adolescent for me) and stick to more of a traditional look. When purchasing a belt I also recommend getting it one size up from your pant waist size. Keep in mind that whether it’s woven in leather, cotton, wool or canvas; a weaved or striped belt is a must-have to fit your casual needs.
