THE WORLD OF FASHION

Aviators have been popular since the 1960s, but they’re back with a Top Gun like rage this summer. The teardrop shape of these sunglasses is flattering on a variety of face shapes. Plus, their oversized style makes them a celebrity favorite. Grab a pair of designer aviators for a price that’s somewhat less than designer (though still not cheap, we know). It’s worth it though – Selima Optique is known for their luxury sunglasses.

Madras Plaid Shorts

Olive Madras Club Short | $59.50 at J Crew

Crisp and light, Madras plaid is named after its city of origin, a warm city in Southern India. True to its roots, Madras plaid is carefree, youthful, and colorful. Add in a dose of preppy—and they’re the perfect fabric for a pair of summer shorts. Get your plaid on with a versatile green-and-blue pattern from J Crew. Fun fact about Madras plaid? In the US, Madras plaid is a popular summer choice for both men and women. But back in India, it’s worn almost exclusively by men.

Horizontal Stripes

Lightweight Cotton Wool Admiral Stripe Crewneck | $62 at J Crew
We called Horizontal Stripes as a key menswear trend way back when, in April 2008. But it’s just as relevant now as it was then. Not to mention that The Upgrader over at men.style.com featured these stylish stripes last month in a horizontal stripe trend report piece (btw, we love the tongue-in-cheek “cost per stripe” calculation on each item). The key takeaway? Wear these horizontal stripes—on t-shirts, sweaters, and even hoodies.

Lightweight Shawl Collar Sweater

Linen Cotton Caine Shawl Cardigan | $88 at J Crew

You loved shawl collar sweaters last Winter in chunky knits. Now, continue your love affair with the shawl collar with a lightweight cotton version of the sweater that’s destined to become a classic. Perfect for those balmy summer nights—or days in heavily air conditioned rooms. BTW–these sweaters have to be our favorite 2009 mens fashion trend.

Baseball Jacket

Baracuta G10 Slimfit Sport Harrington Jacket | $130 (approx) at Baracuta

Is there anything more reminiscent of Americana than the classic baseball jacket? Brings us back to the good old days - when the sport was more about the players and less about performance drugs. For those of you who want to evoke that Americana spirit, we have a classic baseball jacket (though ironically made by a British company) that’s even better than the original. We’re digging the slim cut on Baracuta’s Harrington jacket–it puts the style back into the sport.

What to Wear in Spain during the Summer

2009-06-13T07:54:00.000-07:00

To stay comfortable in this toasty weather, here’s what you need to pack for your trip to Spain:

Tops: Breathable knits and woven shirts are going to be your best bet. Pack an assortment of layering tees (roll them up to be most space-efficient when packing), plus a few short sleeved cotton or linen shirts. Extra style points for bright colors–perfect for such a festive vacation spot.

Sweaters: A lightweight sweater (or two, max) will do the trick.

Dresses: Pack a nice bright dress for evenings out on the town. Extra style points for trying out exotic prints.

Outerwear: Pack a single lightweight jacket for nighttime.

Bottoms: Shorts and cropped pants are going to be the most weather-appropriate. If you’re a skirt kind of gal, feel free to pack a skirt or two as well. We’re loving the breezy chic look of a layered cotton smocked skirt–very flirty and extremely versatile.

Accessories: Sunglasses (oversized for drama), a hat to protect your face from the sun, and a scarf (optional) for layering. Check the weather forecast before you leave to see if you need a travel umbrella; rain is rare but not unheard of.

Shoes: Sandals are going to be a must–but choose ones that you’re comfortable walking in. Also pack a pair of flip flops for the beach.

Mens Ready Made Outfit: Summer Plaid

2009-06-05T17:57:00.000-07:00

Feeling the love for this set? Here’s more information about it.

Be the very essence of summer in a classic pair of boat shoes and a colorful plaid shirt. Effortlessly cool, and super easy to wear. Here’s how to get the look of summer plaid:

1. Start with a plaid shirt. If you’re uncomfortable with patterns, try a simple blue and white plaid. But if you’re looking to make a splash, try a plaid with bright colors–such as this light blue and orange combo.
2. Put on a pair of khaki pants. Bonus points for eschewing the traditional beige for a color like navy or black.
3. Slip on a pair of boat shoes, sans socks, to complete the look.

Some guys stray away from "Geek Chic" and instead opt for "Slick Rick." The difference is in the effect: the suave guy wants onlookers to recognize his sleekness and will never intentionally wear his pants too short. He’ll pick stripes over argyle any day, and he doesn’t want to look like he tried too hard (even though we all know he spent big bucks and a decent amount of time to get the smooth look). Black is the perfect hue for achieving this look. Will Smith in "Men in Black" would concur.

Hamburger Dress

2009-05-30T04:51:00.001-07:00

If you love fashion, and you love food, then you'rel probably drooling over these tongue-in-cheek dresses by artist Joy Kampia O'Shell. They certainly have our mouths watering.

This special sauce-y dress is hilarious and brilliant, which is just what O'Shell wants. She states the following on her Website:

Because I enjoy the irony between subject matter and material, I have merged my favorite subject matter (food) with my favorite process (crochet). I love food too much to be satisfied with its transience; therefore I am driven to give it permanence through art. I am a passionate advocate for crochet as an art medium -- going beyond its traditional uses and exploring its limitless possibilities. By taking both food and crochet out of their ordinary settings, I hope to challenge the viewer's preconceived notions of their roles. And I hope it makes people hungry.

The burger dress is awesome and all, but the sun is shining and we're coming off a long weekend, so we're thinking we might have to make a mid-afternoon change into the ice cream sundae dress.

Oh, and in case you're hoping to make one of your own, forget about it -- O'Shell's creations are one-of-a-kind, and no, she doesn't sell patterns. But, items that haven't been sold to a gallery yet are still available for purchase. Keep in mind, though, that she's an artist and charges accordingly -- meaning one of her food dresses sells for around $900.

ASK ME:What to Wear to Wimbledon

2009-05-29T02:20:00.000-07:00

Q: I’m going to Wimbledon at the end of June and was looking for advice on what to wear.

by Colleen Geary, fashion stylist and image consultant

A: London in June is rather cool and somewhat rainy - expect temperatures in the 50s and 60s while you’re at Wimbledon. You’ll want to be prepared for rain or shine - so plan your wardrobe accordingly. Here’s a couple of outfit options that will work with London’s finnicky weather:

Lightweight Sweater + Tee + Long Pants

Pictured: Cashmere Three Quarter Sleeve Cardigan | $158 at J Crew, Soft Tee Ruffle Top | $39.50 at J Crew, and Gray Wide Leg Jeans | $49.99 (sale) at Gap.

If the weather is on the cooler side, we’d suggest wearing stylish but comfortable pants with a cute tee. Toss on a lightweight sweater if it gets breezy. Keep a light but waterproof jacket around, in case of rain.

Knee Length Dress + Jacket

Pictured: Theory Raineria Dress | $285 at Nordstrom, Linen Collarless Jacket | $130 at Banana Republic, Leather Tuck Lock Satchel | $100.03 atASOS.

You can hope to wear shorts or skirts on warmer days, so keep a dress and light jacket on hand. For Wimbledon, we’re loving the look of a tailored shirtdress with a cropped jacket. Try this Theory shirtdress paired with a short navy jacket for a clean, classic look.

As for footwear, make sure to wear comfortable shoes since you may have some walking to do to view all of the matches. Flats or low heels will serve you well.

Last thoughts? Apply sunscreen (rain or shine), and if you’re sensitive to sun, bring a hat for sunny days. I’d also suggest bringing an umbrella in the somewhat likely case of rain.

ASK ME:How to Keep Clothes Looking New

2009-05-29T00:28:00.000-07:00

Q: What’s the best way to keep new clothes looking new? Whenever I buy something, it looks great the first time I wear it, but then after the first or second wash, it starts looking older and older.

A: Clothes start to look older after washing for three main reasons: (1) Color Fading, (2) Pilling, and (3) Wrinkling. Here’s how to combat each:

Problem: Color Fading
Solution: Wash your clothes in cold water. Many clothing dyes aren’t color fast to begin with, and the tendency to "bleed" increases with the temperature of the water. Colors tend to become permanent after a few washes–and the garments under high heat accelerates the color setting process. Note: Always wash denim inside-out to prevent color loss.

I’ve found that using gentler detergents (like Woolite) helps to extend the "new" look of my clothes. Oh, and if the garment says "Dry Clean Only," do just that.

Problem: PillingSolution: Buy a fabric shaver to quickly and safely remove the "pills" (balled up fuzz) and lint from your clothes. Fabric shavers, like the model pictured, are especially useful to give new life to sweaters.

Pilling happens when your clothes rub up against something else. In the washing machine, this can happen when clothes rub up against the sides of the machine–or when they rub up against each other.

To minimize pilling, we recommend (1) placing items prone to pilling inside garment bags, (2) using the delicate cycle, and (3) not overloading your washing machine full of clothes.
Problem: Wrinkling
Solution: Fold or hang your clothes as soon as the dryer cycle ends. The longer clothes sit in the dryer after the dryer cycle ends, the more wrinkled they will become.

If you can’t take clothes out of the dryer right away, try moistening a hand towel and adding it to the load and then run the dryer for 10 minutes. The heat and moisture combination works much like a steamer and will help reduce wrinkling.

You can use a fabric steamer to remove wrinkles in your clothes. Steamers are less harsh than irons on your clothes–and will help to preserve their usable life span.

How To Wear a Sundress

2009-05-28T08:27:00.000-07:00

Sundresses make us happy because they remind us of relaxing days frolicking in the sunshine. And the beauty of this Marc by Marc Jacobs Primrose Garden cotton dress ($430.00 on Net-A-Porter.com) is that it really can be worn in so many different ways, which is why it's so popular !

Keep it casual for the daytime by accessorizing with neutral accessories.

Wear this dress alone on warmer days and let the sun hit your shoulders.

For cooler days, a scarf, tights and closed-toe shoes will still compliment this dress.

You can also toughen up your look by pairing it with a black leather motorcycle jacket.

Always remember that fashion is about experimentation. The floral pattern shouldn't limit you, from mixing in different patterns.

ASK ME: Summer Shoes for Men

2009-05-28T06:46:00.001-07:00

Q: During the summer, I basically feel like I’ve got two choices for footwear with shorts: Teva brand flip flops or Chaco brand sandals. I’d like to get something in more of a ’shoe’ that I can wear without socks. What are some stylish "boat-shoes" or alternatives to boat-shoes?

A: You’re in luck - there are a number of warm weather shoe options open to you that aren’t sandals. If you want to step out of the house without socks, we’d recommend four types of shoes: boat shoes, tennis shoes, canvas shoes, and driving moccasins.

The Boat Shoe

Broken In Sperry Top Siders | $98 at J Crew

Sperry makes the classic boat shoe, and their collaboration with J Crew makes these traditional shoes better than ever. Between the distinctive custom dark wood color, the off white soles, and the cotton chambray lining, you won’t find a more unique boat shoe for under $100.

The Tennis Shoe

Springcourt Low Cut Canvas Shoes | $88 at Steven Alan

Springcourt shoes are the original French tennis shoe , but they’re anything but traditional in terms of features. We’re loving the convenient four hole ventilation channels - so your feet can breathe easy.

The Canvas Shoe

Zuriick Jakob Mid Top Canvas Shoes | $98 at Oak

These sleek canvas shoes remind us that casual footwear can be as sophisticated as its more formal cousins–and tons more fun. Love, love, love the ever-so-subtle striping and the bright purple shoe soles. Editor’s Note: Sizing is limited at Oak, since these shoes are selling fast. But they were fantastic enough that we wanted to feature them anyways.

The Driving Moccasin

Millbrook Leather Driving Mocs | $128 at J Crew

We’re digging the rich Italian leather on this driving moccasin. You’ll also enjoy the rubber sole, which gives you extra traction while driving - or just walking around.

1. Start with a pair of knee length shorts and a cute sleeveless or short sleeved top. We’re digging the bright yellow color juxtaposed against the clean white.2. Add a lightweight layering sweater - for those cool mornings or times when you’re indoors with extra-strong AC.
3. Finish off the outfit with a brightly colored tote and a pair of statement sandals. Don’t you love how the seafoam color on the tote makes that bright yellow tunic even more radiant (and vice versa)?
