One for the boys...

I was torn today about whether I should talk about menswear or metallics, two things that I would have a hard time successfully blending. As much as we want it to work, menswear and metallics just isn't something I want to venture into. So we're just going to talk about menswear. As always I will start with my color inspiration:


The scarf pictured above is available on Etsy by seller: Justfortheshellofit, for $25.00. I got a huge kick out of their seller name.

I think the key to a man dressing stylishly, (and I mean truly stylish and not just the bare minimum of being acceptable), is to layer. My little brother (now in his 20s) recently took an interest in a vintage shirt and made me so proud. This is the little boy who was in his superman briefs and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle t-shirt well into his teens. (I'm sure the TMNT shirt is now a sought after item). And bless his heart he actually reads my blog. This little ensemble is for him:
