Denim Shirt Anyone?

Key to menswear’s current workwear influence, the denim or chambray shirt holds that all important rugged appeal. Stone washed vintage styles from authentic denim labels sit alongside clean cut denim shirts from sought after menswear brands.

Here's how the men (ahem) wears it.

And here's..... how I think the coolest ways of wearing the denim shirt.

Wear it in a ladylike manner.

Or... Wear it like a man!

The (boyfriend) Cardigan

Over the last few years the boyfriend cardigan has calmly taken its position as the ultimate go to cover up, that can be relied on to solve an endless array of outfit dilemmas. Now the boyfriend cardigan has graduated from sly menswear department dash (or boyfriend's bedroom rummage) to fully fledged wardrobe staple, with the high street offering hundreds of styles to choose from in the sizes, fabrics and colors girls want to wear. 

I am obsessed with boyfriend cardigans, in part because I have my frozen days at times and if I don't wear wintery clothing my allergy will surface. These extra long sweaters cover my lower back and keep me warm. They're also fashion-y and a more grownup alternative to all the hoodies I wore during my college days. Beyond that, they are sold everywhere which means you can score them at very reasonable prices, and they are incredibly versatile so you'll get plenty of wear out of them. And that makes them a great value.

I know! Right! ;)

Couldn't resist posting the above picture.

If you haven't got one already, now is the time to investigate the benefits of the boyfriend cardigan. Whether you like boyfriend cardis for the warmth, or you just love the look, here's some inspiration for how to wear them. Are you a fan? How do you wear yours?

It's a Bag, Not a Game Console

Yes. That's PS1. A Bag. Not a Game Console.

The PS1 bag was launched in 2008 as the first bag of the New York based designer duo Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough for their label Proenza Schouler (their mothers’ respective maiden names). Since then, it has been seen on the arms of the most fashionable people in the world. It comes in three different sizes, large, medium and as a clutch.

This bag comes in a variety of colors and styles. You can find it in tan or beige suede, black or gray leather, black python, and black crocodile leather which gives it a bit of a more luxurious look. This is a great low standard everyday bag and is perfect for that geek-chic look that so many of the stars are sporting.

So PS1 'desperados'... will you be willing to get rip off to own your dream PS? I do like the beige version, just not enough to fork out the ridiculous price tag. I need to be strong to resist the temptation, although.....

This bag is a casual everyday type satchel. It is perfect to carry when you’re walking around town running your daily errands. It is comfortable and requires no specialties. With whatever outfit you are wearing you can just throw this bag over your shoulder and head out of the house. This is the perfect everyday bag because it can fit all of your necessities and more.

Ok, now I'm not so strong anymore (glancing at PS1 and its upcoming cousin the PS11).

It's a Tie!

Do all man's fashion items wearable for us women?

What about a necktie?

A do?

A Don't?

What makes a difference?

It's the ATTITUDE that counts. It's how you wear it.

Patti Smith & Rachel Bilson wore it best. Slouch is the key here. You don't want to look like you that uptight matron from St. Claire dormitory.

Would you wear a tie? Or, should we just leave it to our male counterparts?

Yummy huh?!

The word you're looking for is....

Anyway.. back to the necktie: a do or a simple don't?
