Celebrity Saturday: Swaggy P

It is always a good sign when athletes find there ways into the pages of GQ based solely on the style they bring to the table. Even for those who don't watch an ounce of Basketball, Lebron James is still somewhat of a household name, but most don't have a clue about a man out in Los Angeles by the name of Nick Young aka Swaggy P. He is one of those guys that is far beyond his time in terms of style, setting the trends before the trend setters and what a better place to do it then LA, one of the most progressive street style area of the country. It'd be a good idea to keep tabs on this dude to have a glimpse into the styles to come.

Check in tomorrow for a recap of the week's topics and next Saturday for another stylish celebrity influence!

Threads for Thought: Bold Stripes

Change is an inevitable reality in fashion, both men's and women's, so it is important to tread lightly in new trends just in case they turn faux pas after a season or two. But then there come changes that subtly differ from the norm, but impact your style all the more.
Striped shirts are a dime a dozen, and not to take away from the crispness of a pinstripe or the preppy status of a Bengal stripe, but its about time that they got a revamp. Bold, thicker stripes are beckoning, turning up the proportions of the regular stripe to something much more powerful. The effect is similar to that of a highlighter to the print, going from comic sans in italics to impact in bold. The extra punch is going turn every look into a power look with almost no thought at all; style the thick striped shirts the same as you would any other stripe. Pretty soon, you'll find yourself resorting back to this variety more often than not.
