Dexie Wharton — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:05:06 +0000

If you like the combination of street, contemporary, skate and traditional styles all in one, Aknowledge is the brand you need to check out. The Holiday 2009 Collection had just been launched and those key points were represented really well. They’re basic, classic, clean and most definitely contemporary. Let me show them to you.

Aknowledge Holiday 2009 features 6 key pieces with premium qualities. You can choose from the clean and crisp or graphic shirts. There is also the chambray woven denim, different denim washes, the classic denim jacket and trendy yet sophisticated jacket. The jeans come in 2 cuts which are low-rise straight leg (The Newton) and low-rise slim (The Galileo).

You will find the Aknowledge Holiday 2009 collection at 3 places : Elmer Cado online, Corpstat, and Karmaloop (November 30th)

Jay Kos, the purveyor of tailored and vibrant Menswear from New York Park Avenue has done it again with his Spring 2010 collection. To start it off, Jay Kos has created deeply hued leather jeans that are trendless and would sure make everyone notice you as you walk down the street or into a room.

So if you are into leather and skinny jeans, those above might suit your lifestyle. The pictures below are some of the collection set to roll out in Spring 2010.

It seems Fedoras are going to be staple items on Men’s Fashion no matter what season it is. As well they should because they as nice accessories for any Men these days. Check out the shoes. When they said “pop” of color, Jay Kos took it to a higher level. I’m partial to the purple and white colors myself. How about you?

Jay Kos’ Spring 2010 Collection starts at about $1975. Famous fans of Jay Kos are P. Diddy and Liev Shreiber just to name a few.

Polo Ralph Lauren Rolled Hem Looks

Dexie Wharton — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 21:47:32 +0000

It was actually Sarah Jessica Parker who started re-introducing the rolled hem jeans look a year or so ago. Then Katie Holmes started walking around in New York City with the same look. Some people criticized her for bringing the look back but to her credit, it wasn’t her who did it first. Now what does this have to do with Men’s Fashion?

Well, Polo Ralph Lauren looks like it’s adapting the look and incorporating it on a few Men’s Fall Looks. Check them out below.

How do you like it? The polo shirts, sweaters, scarves, and newsboy caps are good. The jeans are good as well by itself I’m sure. The rolled hem would probably just depend on the guy, right? The style is not for everybody. It depends on your lifestyle, personality, and style. You can find each of these looks from Dillard’s with affordable price tags. None of the items cost more than $150.

Level Jeans Spring 2009

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 14:49:00 +0000

For Spring 2009, Level Jeans is incorporating the resin coated, dark indigo stretch denim into the slim fit to achieve extra comfort as well as a modern, and high-tech look.

Level Jeans

A Grey-Blue stretch denim is also available as an alternative to the basic blues and black jeans. While the washes are clean and simple, the jeans do have the classic vintage elements like a roll-up contrast detail for example. The fits and washes on all the jeans were designed to fill the “empty slots” that the Level Jeans designer felt is missing in the trendy jeans that are out in the market. Trendy, meaning studded, embellished, jeweled, blinged out kind of jeans. Level Jeans nixed those trends during their conception and came out with the simple and basic style based off of vintage garments to suit anyone’s lifestyle.

Stylish Man Project : Godfried Addae

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:53:01 +0000

A brave yet very stylish She Knows Best reader took my Stylish Man Project challenge and has given me permission to feature him today. Before I show you Godfried’s stylish looks, let me reintroduce you to the Stylish Man Project.

It is an open invitation to all Men who would like to be featured here at She Knows Best showcasing their stylish looks. Send me (dexie.wharton@b5media.com) a picture of yourself and a brief description of what you are wearing and what occasion you wore it to. Read more all about this project that I started back in 2007 here.

Now, let’s see what Godfried is weearing.

This first look, Godfried went to a Fashion pre party and here’s the breakdown of what he’s wearing :

Shoes – Steve Madden
Jeans – Rock and Republic
White shirt – Express Men
Buttoned vest – Express Men
Blazer – Express Men
Pocket Square – Nordstroms
Glasses – Dolce and Gabanna

My first impression? Godfried is wearing a blue pocket square. I love it. I’ve noticed that only a few Men are rocking that accessory. When they do, it’s mostly on formal days. Godfried is sporting a casual event wear and I give him props for incorporating that pocket square into it. Great job!

In this second look, Godfried is celebrating his birthday :

Jeans – Rock and Republic
White – Shirt Express Men
Buttoned Vest – Express Men
Black Velvet Blazer – Express Men
White pocket square – Nordstroms
Glasses – Prada
Tie Clip – Kenneth Cole
Black Narrow tie – Calvin Klein

Again with the pocket squares but in white this time around. He’s wearing a velvet blazer too. You gotta give major props to a man who can rock a velvet blazer.

I’m going to assume that Godfried bought those pocket squares in different colors. A practice that any shopaholics out there know it must be done when deals are right in front of him/her .

Pocket squares may seem so insignificant to some people but in Fashion, details are very important. Anyone is capable of looking great. The minute details that you add to your daily looks will show your personality and fashion identity. So never underestimate details like pocket squares.

Thanks to Godfried Addae for letting me feature him here at She Knows Best. Now it’s your turn. Are you up for the Stylish Man Project?
