A Man's Gotta Look Sharp Too...

It's 2011 & even though I have lots of looks I love for women, I have PLENTY of obsessions for men as well. There is nothing like a sharp on trend look for those boys... as a girl i can admit I basically melt. So what do I love the most so far for this years looks? I have a couple great trends to get you started.

1. Men's Long Sleeve Henley's: Ok, there is nothing sexier then a shirt that hugs a man's chest ever so tightly so you get a little taste of what's underneath. And there is no better material to do that with then a nice henley long sleeve tee. These look awesome paired with some dark jeans for the winter, but can be pulled off even in spring time with some shorts. Can we say yum-my?




2. Denim Button Down: Pairing denim with denim is no longer a fashion faux pas. It's actually a really rugged sexy look for men & it's coming back stronger this year than last. We saw a lot of girls pull off the look last spring, but in 2011 it's time for the men to rock it. My best advice is to pair the wash's in different shades. For example if you pick a denim top with a gray tint to it, make sure your jeans have a very blue wash. If you want to go a little on the Safari look you can always pair this top up with some cargo's. Whatever you chose, it's great for the Spring this year & can be rocked with some khaki shorts as well. As the words of Rachel Zoe, "It's beyond."







A good example of how to rock this look is by none other than Mr.Gyllenhaal. So effortless & so so smooth. 




3. J Brand Jean's: J. Brand is a major player in the women's jean world. His jeans are on just about every celebrity imaginable & they all can't stop raving about how perfect they are (trust me, it's perfection). But how about J. Brand for men?? Oh yes, they are my favorite men's jeans because they always have a slim fit that is contoured to flatter all the "right" areas. If you want a pair of jeans that will be a sure bet to look amaze with any outfit you throw on, then invest in a pair of J's. I can guarantee you will not be sorry.




4. Monochrome Head to Toe: At the Milan 2011 Spring fashion week, one look that stood out big time for me was Bottega Veneta and his monochrome outfits. You would never have thought pairing the same color head to toe could look SO good, but he completely blew the runway out of the water. All I could think about is, Wow I want to see a guy in THAT right there. It looks so carefree and effortless, but yet so perfect. This was just a general look I liked from Bottega, but the basis of the button down tops/cardigans mixed with some looser fitting bottoms will surely be a crowd pleaser. 







5. Tight Graphic Tee's (Jacks & Jokers) I can not stress now much I love a guy in a tight graphic tee, some light/medium wash jeans & a pair of aviators. That laid-back but still sexy look is something most girls heart skips a beat for. It's like we know your trying to show that chest off, but at the same time you look oh so good doing it. My top 2 brands for graphic tee's is Jacks & Jokers and Rebel Yell. They both have great prints to chose from & are made out of a vintage stretchy material that will fit like a glove.





There ya have it boys! I know your 2011 resolution is a shopping trip to pick up some new fits, so look for these trends in stores. You won't be disappointed by splurging on any of these looks, & it's sure to turn a few heads.
