Week in Review

This week saw the introduction of the t-shirt and suit look that gives a usually professional look, a light and casual twist. If you haven't already, give this look a try this coming Friday and see what kind of reaction you get. If you have the resources to get one, the Ressence Type 1 watch that I covered on Tuesday will be a fun and innovative addition to your wrist candy collection. Pair these with some driving mocs, a bandana, and avoid throwing on any tattered jeans, and you my friend have a fashionable outfit going. It gives you an element of casualness that may just mirror that of Jason Sudeikis.

Here are the links from the past week if you didn't have a chance to see them earlier this week:

Celebrity Saturday: Jason Sudeikis

Going through the highlights of The red carpet at The Oscars, you'll find a lot of finely tailored tuxes and different statement pieces (e.g. Pharrell's capris). Of all these well dressed celebrities, one made a statement with his grooming alone, funny man Jason Sudeikis.
Want a girl like her? Try taking some cues from Sudeikis.
Getting his start, like most comedy stars, on Saturday Night Live heed propel his successful TV and movie career. But he wasn't always known for his fashionable ways and in his earlier days wouldn't have even popped up on the style radar. Nowadays you can find him rocking some impressive street style with scorcher Olivia Wilde; not to mention me has a bitchin beard set up with a classy coiffe to match.
Something about his look seems childish...but also grown up.
I personally like his sense of fashion because it has its own sense of sarcasm and unless he's attending some event, he dresses casual in a way that you simply can't. Maybe it's the beard that gives everything he wears a very authentic, almost ruggedly sophisticated twist, either way you should take a couple cues from Sudeikis for your look.

Check in tomorrow for the weekly recap and next Saturday for another celebrity fashion influence!

Friday Faux Pas: Tattered Jeans

Many designers like to put their stamp on their jeans, whether it be their leather badge on the belt line or their logo embroidered on the coin pocket or the signature stitch work on the back pockets. Whatever it may be, these branding efforts tend to be something I can live with having on my lower half, but there is one thing that I simply cannot condone.
Jeans like this make me shudder.
Jeans that feature rips, tears, abrasion, pain splatter, extreme fading or washes, anything that is done to make the jeans look worn in and real-life tested; this might be the epitome of buying something you haven't earned, like fixing a championship game. Jeans are meant to be bought new and unworn and then all the wear and tear is supposed to happen later, giving the denim a look that is unique to you. Painters should have paint on their jeans in the same way that an action star will have some abrasion and cuts and abrasion, the jeans fit their lifestyle.
Are you a painter? No? Then you don't need these!
All in all, don't buy jeans that look like they've been worn buy some hobo before you had the chance to buy them. I'm not saying you need to buy raw selvedge, although I highly recommend it, I am saying however that you should skip the extra charge for beat up jeans, and get the fresh new pair that you can make your own.
