25 Days of S/S Style for Men: WRINKLES ARE CHIC

And, we aren't talking about the ones on your face, unless your last name is Clooney, of course. The lovely linen days that remind you of trips to the Hamptons or Miami fun, have a few rules to follow this spring.

1. Go Darker. Say bye bye to the beige. The darker colors of linen are dressier and easier to dry clean and wear!

2. It's all in the wrinkles, so don't fret. Now if your suit is balled in a corner of your bedroom, that is a different story. But wrinkles give the look the attitude that linen so needs.

3. Despite the fabric having a casual tone, you can absolutely dress up linen w/ a great pocket square and beautiful watch.

‎25 Days of Style Gift Guide: Day 3: PRINTS CHARMING.

Charm bracelets are definitely huge this season. From Pandora to Brighton, my fav is Links of London-- great gift for that person in your life that likes to document their memories :)


Many charm bracelets are passed down from mother to daughter as coming of age pieces of family jewellery.


If you are lucky enough to have an heirloom to pass down to your daughter or granddaughter then you will want to tell them about the world of charms and how they can continue the tradition.

The idea behind the charm bracelet dates back to prehistoric times, however in more recent past, the popularity of charm bracelets was brought into fashion by Queen Victoria of England who wore charms on bracelets and pins in the 1800s.

25 Days of Style Gift Guide: Day 2: All you TWEED to be your own boss.

As the temps drop, try on a tweed coat to polish your look. This throwback to Old Hollywood glamour will bring out a lil Frank Sinatra in the guys and a lil Audrey in the ladies.

When it comes to Autumn and Winter fashion, you can never go wrong with a bit of tweed. This year especially, with popular fashion trends involving that British heritage look. Tweed will add a slightly sophisticated look to any outfit, it is also a quality fabric that will last more than one season and not to forget it will keep you warm as the days get colder. There is a lot of potential in tweed based clothing to generate some stylish looks.
