Threads for Thought: Take Care of Those Feet

Guys, we all know what time of year it is. When the sun comes out, so do the bikinis and shorts, and with that territory comes the bearing of the feet after a long winter hibernation. It is about time to give the boots the boots a rest, but before you do, stop by the local nail salon.
Most men's feet are an after thought when it comes to overall style and health; "only my girlfriend sees them" or "they're just my feet" being the common response to those two issues respectively. There's a universal saying out there, something about starting from the ground up? Guess where your body starts and you might start to question the importance of having healthy feet. The best way to maintain their health is none other than the pedicure, so do not shriek from the femininity of going to a salon when you know its good for you.
The lovely ladies at any place will soak your feet in a warm tub, properly (keyword) clip your nails, scrape of those pesky calluses, and at the end, give you a relaxing foot massage. There's something wrong with a guy that doesn't like any of those things, but if it makes it better, bringing a lady friend on your first visit will help you feel a little less emasculated and the more happy that your feet are taken care of for the beach and pool days to come. Just make sure to make a visit every month to maintain the healthy status of your little piggies.
If Kobe is getting one, so should you.

Tech Tuesday: Brixton ReStitched

Most times, new technology tends to be more of an evolutionary change, changing an existing norm by doing it in a better and more efficient way. Take the new smart watch craze for example; by no means is the concept of a watch new, but combining it's everyday wearability with a phone's functionality helps to further digitize your lifestyle and stay connected. Taking an old concept and recreating it as something new is a very satisfying feeling. If you're the team at Brixton, this idea is taken to heart in the new ReStitched collection, which takes old clothing and turns them into some super stylish hats. The only downside to this will be the limited availability of styles due to the nature of their construction, but are otherwise great products at a great price. Make sure to buy when you see the one your like!

Monday Outlook: Matching Shirt & Tie

With all the shirt and tie options out there, with the alleviation of pattern combinations, and with the rules of neck wear pairing giving way to creativity and edge, men everywhere are experimenting and tackling some visually tantalizing chest duos. All this is very positive for the upward bound world of menswear, but this peacockery can only be outdone by blending in.
So what better to do to blend in than matching the shirt to the tie and vice versa, and not just in color or fabric, this is full fledged matching. This look takes it's heritage back to the Army dress uniform, that khaki-on-khaki look underneath a beautiful brown suit, pure neutral dominance that only the military style can bring. Now fast-forward to the 21st century and remember all the options that we have at our disposal, the combinations are no longer limited to solid colors or typical fabrics. We're talking the likes of silky Hawaiian floral matching all the way down to a solid navy cotton seersucker ensemble. The biggest obstacle in following such a simple trend is finding the matching pairs, which may mean having to look outside of a single label, its time to expand those horizons!
