Black Sheep

         He’s Wearing
           Quilted Jacket: H&M
            Basic T-Shirt: H&M
            Black Chinos: 21MEN
         Oxfords: H&M

I have always been known as the “Black Sheep” of my family. This started because I was always very different, creative, artistic. Lately I have been using less color in my wardrobe, I have always been a fan of very minimal monochromatic looks.

I love this quilted jacket I found at H&M. I think its very versatile piece it has very nice structure, fit, and awesome details. With this type of jacket you could do many things I kept it simple just throwing it over a basic T-shirt. With Fall right around the corner its going to be a great addition to layered look.

 

There is something about a all black look that love. I think you could never do wrong with dark ensemble. it’s a very flattering color and just looks chic and elegant when done properly. Men need to own a pair of black oxfords to pair it with a killer black suit or less formal like I did with this look,

We have been enjoying the summer so much that we have took time off our blog. Slowly but surely were getting back to work and bringing you guys some more of our looks that we have been shooting. Were looking forward to fall much like everyone else we feel it’s a great time for great season for fashion.

Night Life

 He’s Wearing
Navy Slim Suit-: H&M
Spread Collar Shirt: H&M
Bow Tie: H&M
Pocket Square: Atlas & Mason
Wingtips: Aldo

Is the navy blue suit the new black suit? Not really but it does look extremely good and is less formal. I got my suit and tie on for this event that took place at the “W “Hotel in Los Angeles hosted by Annex Magazine. I really enjoy simple outfits and  keeping it minimal. As you can tell by this ensemble, understated sometimes makes more of an impact.

A fitted suit can always make a man feel more confident. To all gentlemen, get your clothing tailored! If you can’t find the right fit, invest in a good tailored suit because it will pay off in the long run. Luckily for me this slim suit from H&M was fitted and I didn’t have to go through all the trouble to get it tailored.

I’m all about the modern look and clothing that fit my body type. With this look I went with blue scheme mixing a dark blue suit with a light blue pinstripe button down. Because men can and in my opinion should  accessories, I decided to add a dark blue knit bowtie and a gifted Atlas & Mason  pocket square. When you look good you definitely feel good. The best part about transitioning seasons is getting to wear more dressy attire. Make sure to let us know which outfits you like more, the casual or dressy.

Lawless

He’s Wearing
Panama Hat: Target
Wayfarer Sunglasses: Ray Bans
Button up: H&M
Distressed Jeans: H&M
Loafers: Aldo

This Outfit was heavily influenced by the “Roaring Twenties“. The fashion of that time is one of my favorites because it reminds me of Al Capone. I feel he was one of the best dressed people that ever lived because he was very classy.

Thanks to GQ Magazine, I was able to find a panama hat at Target for a great price . Panama hats are classier but if you are not comfortable wearing this type of hat, you can always wear a fedora. I threw it on with a black button up and some really cool distressed jeans (both from H&M) for a laid back look.

    These leopard print loafers from Aldo are probably my favorite shoes for the Summer. I am a loafer junkie because loafers could be dressed up with a suit or dressed down with jeans. I like to have one thing that stands out in my outfits and these loafers definitely do the job.

 We can’t believe summer is coming to an end but that doesn’t mean I can’t transition pieces from my summer wardrobe into next season. Make sure to stay tuned as I conclude my summer looks.

Tough Guys Wear Floral

 He’s Wearing
M65 Field Jacket: Heritage
Spread Collar Dress Shirt:H&M:
Floral Tie: BDG
Watch: Timex
Jeans: 21Men
Wingtips: Steve Madden

I believe Summer is the time of year to stay basic . For this look I went with a statement floral tie that I love  from BDG. I paired this look with some white jeans which is the one item all men need in their wardrobe for the Summer.

This vintage looking M65 jacket that I use as a blazer at times is a light weight material and great for layered looks. The weather is sometimes unpredictable in LA so it is always good to carry around a jacket.

I have a sick obsession with statement shoes. These olive green Steve Madden Wingtips are one of my favorites at the moment. I feel like when men shop for a shoe we should think about how we can implement the shoes into several outfits. Make sure your wardrobe coexists with the shoe your going to buy.

As we continue to enjoy this L.A Summer, I hope you are enjoying yours.

Closets For Causes Event

We attended a Closets for Causes benefit in DTLA hosted by the lovely Blake and Ashley from Anything & Everything LA. The location was amazing and the entertainment was beautiful.

We decided to keep our outfits simple and light because it was a warm day in LA. Kim decided to wear an H&M dress with a pop of blue with her Aldo heels and Jesal wore an H&M blazer and Allen Edmonds wing tips.

We decided to go with our friend and also blogger Terry from Oh, Ivory. Can we just say that she looked stunning in all black and gold accessories?

 Everyone we met was local and it was amazing to connect on the same level of interests.
 From left to right we have some Instagram Crushes Rosie, Erinn, Ashley, Kim, and Terry. 

Here we have Blake, Jeremy, and Martin, and Jesal all looking very dapper.

We had a blast and we hope to attend more events in the future with our local style bloggers.

Cool, Calm, Collective

He’s Wearing
Sunglasses: Ray-Ban Wayfarers (Here)
 Dress Shirt: H&M Premium Collection (Similar Here)
Watch: Timex Weekender (Similar Here)
Cardigan: Hawkings McGill (Similar Here)
Chinos: Cotton On (Similar Here)
Tassel Dress Loafers: Aldo (Similar Here)

  Being of Mexican decent and raised in Los Angeles, I fell in love with everything Americana. For this look I went with a dress shirt, cardigan, chinos, and gave it a European touch with these tassel loafers from Aldo.

 “Cool, Calm, & Collective” is a philosophy I try to live by. Getting dressed shouldn’t be a challenge everyday. In my opinion, basic garments is the key to a great wardrobe. My style depends on how I’m feeling that day.

Men should dress with a purpose, as if you were going to meet your worst enemy today.
