In my last post I praised Louis Vuitton for its grand fall collection, but the main component that caught my eye were the massive collars that the majority of the looks featured for this season. I've noticed most men in Boston tend to shy away from a items that have any sort of dramatic flare because I guess it makes them feel as though they're overdoing it. While I'm all for approaching fashion with a sense of caution (if you're a newbie), my biggest piece of encouragement to you guys is to
HAVE FUN! I ran into the below gentleman today in Medford and as he passed me on a stairwell my eyes immediately caught the standing collar of his coat and I had to catch up with him. He says he's originally from Africa but has been in the U.S. for some years and is currently working at Zara. His look had a slight boldness about it while still being anchored. Check out his look!...
A high collar adds both structure & a bit of drama to any coat. You can't go wrong!
If you're afraid of this type of coat in lighter colors (ie. light brown or tan) making you look overdone, opt for one in black... it'll still make a statement
His skinny acid washed jeans & converses is channeling Brooklyn, NY and I'm diggin' it!
Summer may be over but a pair of retro shades is a cool way of adding a fun feel to any ensemble!
The duffle bag is a great alternative to a briefcase for us younger guys
Since the weather is still fairly cool, a few summer-inspired chains/necklaces are more than appropriate. Also, imagine how dope this coat would look with a knit scarf come winter!
Keep it
Stylish, keep it Sexy and always keep it true to
YOU! -Mr. Hampton
