Dexie Wharton — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 18:43:38 +0000

Looking for a linen sportcoat to spruce up your casual wear this Fall? How about this Alfani Washed Linen Sportcoat that happens to be on sale for $59.99. It used to be $129.50 so that sale price is shall we say, a STEAL?

Dress it up with pants or dress it down with jeans. Either way, it’s a nice blazer to have. Depending in the sizes, this Alfani Sportcoat is available in oyster (silver), hemp (light brown), and bitters (dark brown).

Here Goes Robert Downey Jr & His "Purse"

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 14:57:21 +0000

Every time Robert Downey JR has a movie out, when he’s out and about doing “press”, caught by the Papz, he’s always holding what seems to be a Man Purse. Sometimes, he’s actually holding his wife’s bag. If you see him come out of a restaurant though, it’s actually a “doggie bag”. Now I’m not sure if this bag he’s got around his shoulder is his wife’s or one of his own Man Purses. It’s not as fancy for a woman, and he’s not toting it around like a doggie bag. But since they’re coming out from Waverly Inn, it could be a doggie bag. You’re all probably like, “who cares, shut up, you suck”, heh.

I like the whole blazer, print shirt and jeans look but I still don’t like his mustache.

How-To : Blazer With Jeans

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 20:10:49 +0000

So now that you’ve learned that you must absolutely have a navy blue blazer, you’d want to learn how to pull it off with jeans. The blazer with jeans combo is pretty much considered a 21st-century classic. A lot of male celebrities have pulled this off quite successfuly. Well some of them anyway. Justin Timberlake is one of them. He epitomizes the blazer and jeans look, in my opinion. Due to this, you might feel you must as well embrace it and pull it off yourself. From the subtle approach to the bold one, you can’t go wrong. Unless you missed this post

BEGINNER:
A blazer over a collared shirt with jeans and loafers or sneakers is a good way to start.

INTERMEDIATE:
Spruce up a navy blue blazer by wearing a gingham-check shirt. For texture, add a knit-tie. Wear a dark wash jeans for an added contrast.

ADVANCED
Go bold by opting for a velvet-corduroy blazer with moleskin pants and suede loafers. Texture, texture, texture, texture. That’s how a well-dressed man does it .

Do You Have The Perfect Blazer?

Dexie Wharton — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 21:18:48 +0000

According to the DETAILS Men’s Style Manual, a navy blue blazer is the Men’s version of Women’s Little Black Dress. Sans the sexy heels of course. We’d prefer it if you wear it with loafers or sneakers . When finally getting over that hump, whatever it is, and you find yourself deciding to purchase a Blazer you must consider the following details :

The darker shade of navy blue, the better
Avoid crests
Since blazers are more casual than a suit, pay attention to whether it’s slim or relaxed. Loose layering obviously requires more room hence a relaxed jacket. A crisper, formal jacket will go better with slimmer tailoring.
Sleeves should leave space for about a quarter inch of shirt cuff to show.
Vents. Single center vent for slim profile. Double vents for bigger profile.
The importance of buttons. 3-button blazers will make you look taller. A 1 or 2-button style will help the rounder size guy back into proportion.

Navy blue blazers can be worn with bright white shirts, soft blues and pinks or shades of gray.

You can buy the featured Marc by Marc Jacobs blazer at Saks.

Olive Green Blazer For Fall

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 15:37:34 +0000

Getting ready for Fall I hope? I found this “Bella Vista” blazer at Nordstrom. Military inspired jacket with 4 flap pockets in and 3 buttons in front. Not only do I love the olive green color, I also love the length of this blazer. It falls just below your hips which gives that tailored style. Cuffs has 4 buttons to really point out the military flavor of this blazer. There’s a black one also but this olive green looks better in my opinion. The washed texture just works better in this color.
