Men’s Street Style Round-up: September 2012

Street Style Round-up: September 2012

In fashion we are ruled by cycles. The classic example is, of course, vintage style. However, the same principle applies to seasons. Recently, we’ve begun to see the collections for this autumn/winter on the high street, and the change from summer wear is marked.

With this in mind, we need to consider how to dress for the in-between times; how to create a strong transitional outfit that can cope with late summer/autumn conditions.

The expected staples of transitional wardrobes are fairly obvious: layering helps you react to conditions, more restrained colour combinations to coincide with the longer nights, and medium weight fabrics are essential.

But what else can we do? Well, I have poured through September’s street style images to find a collection of inspiring outfits and looks that would be suitable now we have moved into the early stages of autumn. Enjoy.

AW12 Men’s Colour Trend Preview: Burnt Orange & Maroon

AW12 Colour Trends

I was inspired to write an article on these two particular colour trends following Alex Woodhall’s recent excellent summary on the impact of olive as a key colour choice this season. I couldn’t agree with this more and really do see olive as a colour that will be leaving a huge impression on menswear this season.

However, I think it is also important to illustrate the importance of other colour trends that are due to become popular as the evenings get darker and the weather gets cooler. Both burnt orange and maroon are fantastic colour choices for autumn, as they reflect the shades of nature during this time. Simply put – orange and maroon are traditional autumnal colours and often labelled ‘seasonally appropriate’.

Burnt Orange at AW12 Fashion Weeks

On the designer runways for AW12, several collections featured burnt orange as a colour highlight, from full-on block colour pieces to the use of orange in more subtle accesories.

The collection that embraced orange the most was Pringle of Scotland, which featured several orange outerwear pieces – such as orange leather jackets and orange overcoats – complete with matching orange leather gloves. They also included several variations of burnt orange knitwear pieces, from chunky-knit round-neck jumpers to orange v-neck and roll-neck sweaters:

Men’s Online Custom Suiting

At FashionBeans we have always stressed the importance of good fit – it will literally make or break an outfit and is the fine line between looking like a fashion beginner or a stylish male. Therefore, custom clothing should be considered the Holy Grail of menswear. Owning and wearing a piece of clothing that was created personally for you – your body type, your measurements and your preferences – instantly ensures that your whole outfit is unique and one of a kind.

The confidence boost of wearing something that was made specifically for you cannot be described. You know internally that the clothing you are wearing fits perfectly and looks great, and this will subconsciously permeate into your whole attitude and demeanour. It is the reason we push you to get your ‘off the rack’ high street clothing tailored – it will take any piece to the next level and even make it look more expensive.

The custom suit is the pinnacle for any man who has an interest in fashion. I challenge you to find a more manly or classic piece of clothing; it is your armour that you put on when you need to look and feel powerful, whether this be at work or at formal events when you want all eyes on you. However, before recently, custom suit services have not been accessible to the everyday male.

Custom suits are traditionally known for being expensive, while you also have to ensure that the tailor you are visiting is of a high quality and can deliver exactly what you require. With this in mind, I would like to introduce you to Knot Standard, a company that have solved these problems once and for all.

How To Wear: The Peacoat

Last week I discussed the importance of planning. I talked about how much of a difference thinking ahead can make to your style, outfits and general clothing confidence. By constructing your look for the next day in your mind, you can be totally ready and at ease when it comes to eventually leaving the house.
But forward planning doesn’t just relate to the here and now, it crosses seasonal boundaries and is a year round, continual process. The more forward thinking we are, the more prepared we are likely to be when things start to change; as they are now.
Choosing your winter coat (or even deciding to stick with the one you’ve got) is no small decision. It requires lots of planning, lots of testing, trying and considering. The sheer number of options can be somewhat daunting, but because it is such a pivotal part of your winter wardrobe, it is imperative that you make the right choice – your coat will cover pretty much your entire outfit and you will be wearing it almost everyday. Wearing something you are not completely comfortable in is not an option.
With this in mind, I thought I would get the ball rolling with my personal favourite; the peacoat. It is the coat I shall be battling the elements with this winter and the coat I would recommend to anyone who came to me with an outerwear conundrum.

Men’s Street Style Round-up: August 2012

Our teachers lied to us. When we were sitting in Maths lessons they were stringing us along. They did the same in French, and Biology too. At parent’s evening, when they looked earnestly at us and asked us to try harder, because these exams were very important, they were laughing inside.
The secret they were hiding is that trying hard doesn’t always work. Sometimes you need to work smarter rather than harder, and sometimes you just need to relax and let it happen.
When I hear that fashion has to be relaxed, has to feel sprezzatura, that it shouldn’t try too hard, it can frustrate me. But it is partially true. This week we’re looking at that problem: what is this notion of not trying too hard, and how can we start use it? Better yet, how do we address the wider problem of attitude?

Make The Right Choice And Be Fashionable

Who says that eyeglasses can make you look only like a nerd? It is just typical crazy, teenage years thought now. Eyeglasses are now rated as the most stylish and sophisticated accessories in fashion and they are one of the must-have picks for an urban gentleman.

If you have short-sightedness or long-sightedness, you might feel depressed on the idea of wearing eyeglasses all the time as it might make you look old and less stylish and you might have tried contact lenses as a substitute and go through a lot of hassle in wearing them, but now, kick all these stuff out of your life and say hello to a stylish pair of eyeglasses for daily wear.

                                     

Choosing the Eyeglasses

One of the essential steps in choosing the eyeglasses is to keep in focus the shape of your face and your personality. It is important that the pair of eyeglasses which you pick up, it compliments your personality and looks stylish on you. Therefore, always make sure that you pick up that pair of eyeglasses which matches well with your face cut and personality as you surely do not want to look a misfit by just following a fashion trend whether it suits you or not.

For Work and School

f you are a student or working somewhere tough like a construction site, then choosing a durable pair of eyeglasses is a must. But it should also be kept in mind that with durability, style doesn’t get out of picture, you can also try out stylish frames in eyeglasses with regular and comfortable eyeglasses too. Preferably, for work and school, full frame eyeglasses are a good choice as they are more durable, comfortable and you can keep them any way you want. However, if you want to get a nice corporate guy look for office then you can also try out rimless eyeglasses as they look stylish and sophisticated.

So, it is all up to you, your style, preferences and budget that what kind of eyeglasses you will be picking for yourself. But in any case, eyeglasses surely add a nice look to your personality and they definitely look stylish on anyone and you should never hesitate to wear them at all.

The Daniel Wellington Watch

The preppy trend is bigger than ever before, and this watch is the embodiment of preppy and Ivy League style. Whether you opt for leather or canvas straps, each has an unmistakable touch of American Prep that is so desirable and sought after by the modern male who wants to dress in a smart and refined way on a daily basis.
The debut watch style has a face diameter of 40mm, which is masculine but not overpowering, features a Quartz Japan citizen 1L22 movement and is water resistant. It is available in both silver or rose gold casing, allowing you to adjust for your preference.

How To Look Good – On A First Date

I will be the first to admit that this is something of a niche topic – we probably aren’t all rampant first daters and the chances of one coming around soon are probably nil to slim. But I have no doubt that there are some lucky buggers out there who aren’t completely devoid of tekkers* and can actually find someone to go on a date with them, without having to coerce them into it.

Whilst you might think that you’ve done all the hard work by finding yourself a willing partner, it has in fact, only just begun. Date preparation can be an utter minefield and you’ve only got one (possibly two, depending on how sorry the person feels for you) chances to get it right.

First you’ve got to decide on what you’re going to do. I can’t really help you here, but I can tell you that the traditional cinema date is not a good choice – tell someone you would like to take them out to a dark room, where you can sit in silence, not look at them for 3 hours and stuff your face with popcorn will probably result in a slap.

Secondly, you’re going to have to decide on your outfit. What I can do here is give you some inspiration, quantify your own ideas, or stop you looking like a total burke at that all important first meeting.

But at this point I would like to highlight how these articles can be read on a more personal level. It must always be remembered that they are nothing more than a guide and that the outfits they feature are open to interpretation. They can also be utilised in many situations, such as ‘how to look good when you first meet the parents’, or ‘how to look good at a family party’.

These are all situations in which the principles and stylistic ideas I discuss are applicable – you just need to think outside the box.

So how do you look good on a first date?

So there we have my suggestions of how to look good on a first date. By creating outfits that are simple, easy to wear and practical you make yourself feel more comfortable, more relaxed and better to be around as a person. Your date will go much smoother if you don’t spend the entire time worrying about how you look and you just relax into what you are wearing.

The confidence you gain from being appropriately dressed will be multiplied ten fold into your interaction with your lucky partner and hopefully your date will be a success.

Let me know what you think and offer up any useful dating tips for those devoid of tekkers in the comments below.

Another fabric pattern that has regained popularity of late, the damier check wasn’t invented by Louis Vuitton but has certainly been popularised by the fashion house as a menswear offering all the same.

In essence it’s akin to a gingham, but to call it that would be to turn you off the pattern altogether. Instead, think of it in dark, masculine colours without the white base typical of a gingham check. Because it is a rather busy pattern, however, this is one pattern that lends itself better to a fashionable sportscoat (paired with un-patterned trousers) then it does to a full suit.

If you’re one of the many men who have never invested in a suit with a pattern then a pinstripe suit should be your starting place. Easiest to wear in a black with grey / white pinstripe, I’d personally recommend looking to a navy or grey cloth with a white pinstripe to differentiate yourself from everyone else. Do not, however, attempt a lighter cloth with a darker pinstripe.

A pinstripe cloth also provides a great visual trick of making the wearer look taller, so is a must for those men after such an affect.

How to be a Stylish Guy!!!!

For an upgraded men’s style, the first thing is to upgrade your wardrobe. We’ll begin with the basics, as to what a trendy style require in a man’s wardrobe. First, come the jeans. Jeans define the casual men’s style while pants look more formal and dressed up. Skinny jeans are still in fashion. But make sure you don’t end up wearing something that doesn’t go with your personality. Pick the jeans that looks graceful and ads to your and trendy style. Sneakers are an important feature of men’s style. And as check prints is all over fashionable accessories, so pick check print sneakers to have a modish, trendy style.
Black and white check sneakers will compliment most of your dark, warm wardrobe for winter. In winters, scarf is such an element of men’s style in that automatically ads a classiness to you. Once again, check rule! You must have a couple of scarves for an added trendy style. Colors like red, purple and blue look hot. Go for the checks and strips in prints, otherwise plain.
As for shirts, a few plain, decent dress shirts look great on men. Black always gives men a trendy style. But men should experiment with more colors. Crew necks and cardigan are most appropriate to pick this season for regular decent dressing and if you need to carry a trendy style, then get yourself a retro jacket.
Once you have upgraded your conventional wardrobe, its time play the trick. Men’s style is type casted to be simple and monotonous. But men can mix and match things just like women do. To dress up for a casual hangout, where you want to look stylish, pull on your skinny jeans and the sneakers, just following the trendy style rule book. Pick the right color dress shirt and compliment it with a nice, warm crew neck and cardigan. If it’s too boring for you, then pick the very hot retro jacket.
Tie a scarf neatly around the neck. Make sure it doesn’t look gaudy. You want to follow the trendy style yet don’t want to look like a wannabe. Tousle your hair, which is popular men’s style these days. Make sure that you are comfortable and confident with the trendy style you carry. Men’s style is truncated without the right attitude.
