Well, I guess this is one way to get people talking: at the Fendi fall '14 menswear show yesterday in Milan, the runway was covered in a thick layer of dark fur. "Faux, I hope," wrote Matthew Schnieir of Style.com on an Instagram photo depicting some tasteful leather sneakers mid fur-stomp.
Even if you consider yourself open-minded, some of the pieces from the Autumn/Winter mens' fashion week 2014 collections in London may give you pause.
Moziah Bridges began designing and making his own bow ties when he was just 9 because, as he says, "I really was a young, dapper man and I couldn’t find any other bow ties that I really liked." So he started his own business that really took off, and now the precocious 11-year-old is melting hearts with his success…
Yoko Ono's men's clothing line hit the Internet today. Many words come to mind. Conservative. Wearable. Classic. The kind of clothes a man can wear and feel good in while making a presentation to a new client in the boardroom, or on the 6:20 train home to Greenwich.
As you can see, the line includes a lot of…
Everybody has an opinion about Paul Ryan's "style." And that opinion is: it's bad.
Prada did something unusual for its men's wear show: it stocked the cast with famous actors. Willem Defoe, Jamie Bell, Adrien Brody, Gary Oldman, Tim Roth, Emile Hirsch, and Garrett Hedlund all walked around modeling Miuccia Prada's latest collection of snobby, bemedaled clothes for playboys. The Times rated them as…
Men's fashion week has wound its way through Milan and Paris, leaving streaks of body makeup and memories of ridiculous clothes in its wake. When your stockbroker is also a leather daddy, buy him Versace. He'll thank you. And if you stare intently at the yellow pants for long enough, a picture of a handsome, stylishly…
Our Paris correspondent, Nilina Mason-Campbell, has apparently been amusing herself by getting male models to deliver their cheesiest pick-up lines in their native tongues. The results are, frankly, enlightening. After all, the language of love is international.
Attention dudes: The banana hammock is officially in. Adjust your purchasing plans accordingly. And ladies, it might be time to reconsider your tastes, starting with Glee's Matthew Morrison. And the unrelated-but-illustrative image at left should maybe help too.
A piece published in the Guardian yesterday has forced me to come to terms with something I've been fighting for a long time, which is this: I think male cleavage is kind of hot.
Turns out famous hairstyle Rod Blagojevich had a shopping habit that was fucking golden. He and his wife Patti spent over $400,000 on clothing over seven years, and they owed more than $90,000 on their credit cards.
Now that Gap makes "boyfriend" jeans for babies, the whole "boyfriend" trend can seem heteronormative and lame. But I still love wearing men's clothing — though I prefer to buy it for myself.
A new photo book by Daniele Tamagni explores the phenomenon of sapeurs, a clique of extraordinarily dressed dandies from the Congo. In the midst of war and abject poverty, these men dress in tailored suits, silk ties, and immaculate footwear.
Although Michelle Obama's Jason Wu inaugural gown received mainly plaudits, Slate's Jesse Sheidlower has a brickbat for the president. He mixed white tie and black! And his tux jacket had a notched collar!
WSJ on popped collars: "Check yourself out in the mirror from all angles to experiment with ways to pop up that collar ever so slightly, so that it looks stylish and not too studied." [WSJ]
Our fascination with menswear? Kind of obsessive. And it was only further provoked by an article in today's Wall Street Journal on the new Thom Browne-designed line for Brooks Brothers, Black Fleece. In case you've forgotten, Thom Browne supposedly "revolutionized" menswear by creating a new men's suit silhouette: One…
Maybe we're fashion retards, but we just don't get contemporary menswear.
