PICK OF THE WEEK

Nothing beats great music and style. We get particularly excited when we come across both. (Do we even need to mention The Beatles? That's pretty much a given) Our pick is Raphael Saadiq - someone who's been playing in our iPod for quite some time now. He delivers on both counts, and we could not be happier. 
If you enjoyed that, might we also suggest another well-dressed band: Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. Can't go wrong.
Who are some of your favourite bands with iconic style?

ARM PARTY 2.0

The last time we talked about arm parties, we were talking about the ones of the female variety, as popularized by The Manrepeller.

However, the arm party isn't just for the ladies anymore. Men everywhere have been getting the party started on their limbs as well. Here's our version:

Our arm party may look more like a small gathering, but sometimes, less is more.

PICK OF THE WEEK: DID YOU KNOW?

We found this gem of photo: Michael Jordan in (what is arguably) a strange, sartorial choice. Although to be fair, he did wear this in the 90's, where everyone's sartorial choices were questionable. 

Micheal Jordan, wearing a jacket from the Jordan Beyond collection, in a 1991 appearance on SNL.

Then we discovered this quote, from a story in GQ: “At one point I pushed for a less sporty sub-brand called Jordan Beyond. When Michael did SNL in ’91, he wore a Jordan beyond quilted green jacket. But I couldn’t make it happen. I’ve still got some samples, including a basketball shoe that was perforated like a wingtip.” - Nike's Tinker Hatfield

A basketball shoe that was perforated like a wingtip. Interesting.

For the sake of a good debate, general curiosity, and last week's 'pick of the week,' we'd like to know what you think of sports brands like Nike, trying to cross over into less athletic, more dressy/casual attire. Also, if they brought back the 'Jordan Beyond' sub-brand, would it sell?

THE GENERATION GAP

Here we have Cedric and Kane, showing us different ways to wear a floral-print shirt.

However you decide to wear your floral print, be it classic or casual, have fun with it. If you're unsure about wearing floral print, choose one that uses more subtle colours, and wear it as a neutral. See? It's easy!

PICK OF THE WEEK

We've been wondering what the general consensus is, when it comes to the topic of suits and sneakers. Is it appropriate? Are sneakers business-suit-friendly? We searched the internet for answers and found GQ's take on the debate.

Now let's discuss. What do you think about wearing sneakers with suits? Yay or nay?

LOOK OF THE DAY

Today's look is an ode to all of the stylish fashion bloggers out there who are as well-dressed as their subjects.

More examples of how details can make an ordinary outfit more interesting. Even paperclips and safety pins can become cool, fashion accessories - so get creative!

OLYMPIC TRIBUTE

As it appears, we're not quite over all of the excitement of the Olympics. So we're bringing you a tribute to our favourite sports event(s) with these London Olympic-themed ties.  

These ties are made with coolmax technology cotton, so if you're thinking of partaking in some athletic activities of your own - in a suit - you'll be good to go!

MIXING IT UP

We think polishing up a casual look is pretty easy. Kane did it with a suit jacket, and some subtle pattern mixing. We've said it once, and we will say it a million times over: It's all in the details.

LOOK OF THE DAY: LONG WEEKEND EDITION

Alas, the long weekend is over. We've not quite gotten back into the swing of things, hence the late post. Our apologies. We'll be better tomorrow, we promise. 

We thought we'd help bring you back to the reality of the nine-to-five with a look we particularly enjoy. Actually, we liked it so much, we featured it last week. Here's our version of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's GQ cover outfit.

GREETINGS!

We're taking the day off to enjoy the long weekend and watch the Olympics! We hope you're all having a great long weekend. 

Your regularly scheduled blog posts will commence shortly.
