If John Wayne Were a Belt... He'd be BAD.

Shoes. Belt. Confidence: The Style Triad.

These three things have the power to make or break any outfit. Nail each one, and welcome to the world of style. The first two often lead to the third, so make 'em good. Make 'em last. Make 'em BAD.

I've worked with Bill Adler Designs since I first launched my company, and I dare you to find brand with more masculine cool factor. Plus the craftsmanship is outstanding — which means you stand out among men.

By now, I'm convinced: If John Wayne were a belt, he'd be BAD.

AURI: Quite Possibly the Coolest Men's Sneakers Ever

Some things are just ridiculously cool...

Like James Bond, the Ferrarri F50...  and comfortable, ultra-stylish sneakers with NASA technology. When it comes to shoes, I might literally be the planet's pickiest buyer – but AURI Footwear was love at first sight for me and my entire team. 

This ground-breaking "fashion lab" from Laguna, California is fusing old-world craftsmanship with cutting-edge performance — and the latest in NASA-grade material engineering.

Are You an Ordinary Man? These Are No Ordinary Shorts!

If you're an ordinary man, do not wear these shorts.

And Ode to Denim: Stylish Jeans at Any Age

Since I've been talking about denim this week...

I received this phone-pic from Aydika James, writer for our men's style blog at Hendricks Park. I immediately responded: "This grandpa is looking sharp!"

This gentleman's outfit proves how regardless of a man's style or age, a great pair of jeans goes a long way. Plus — as our friend Grant Harris says: "The foundation of a stylish wardrobe begins and ends with good shoes. Observe: Fantastic mahogany shoes.

Here's what works about this look. (Well-groomed beard not required.)

And... is it me, or is this man channeling Sean Connery?

The Power of Premium — Why I love Citizens of Humanity

If you read my blog, you know I love premium denim. I call it the "workhorse of the modern man's wardrobe."

So of course I was delighted when my team voted to feature Citizens of Humanity denim as our "Hot Pick of the Week." Personally, I love this line for it's incredible fit, unique (and age-appropriate) washes, plus all the personal details that remind me of a real story behind the brand. Our clients love them because they simply look and feel amazing, right off the bat.

But of all the premium denim out there (and I've reviewed many), why do we all agree Citizens is one of the best? Click here to discover the full scoop.

How to Stay Cool By the Pool: Zachary Prell Swim Trunks

To kick off your summer weekend, here's a little interpretation from the Hendricks Park blog. Enjoy!

—Lisa

 

Once upon a time, men's swim shorts began to shrink. 

They grew shorter and shorter. And shorter. Finally there was nowhere to go. Then came the 80s, when the shorts started to grow again. And like the hair of glam rock bands, they kept growing in length and width. Until finally, 2011 arrived.

 This summer marks a new evolution: The manly middle ground. Swim shorts are receding just enough to flatter the knee—and we applaud the update. But with more fitted shorts comes the ultimate question: How can I look cool and be comfortable by the pool?

New York's Zachary Prell to the rescue. Once again, Zachary's nailed the mark with a bullseye of fit, style, detail and versatility, just as he's done with his shirts.

 Why do I recommend these swim trunks?   

• Straighter leg with slightly shorter hem (less boxy; ends just above knee)
• Fresh (but not flashy) colors
• High quality materials (made with Italian Tech Yarns)
• Superb comfort   
• Inspires men to say: "These are exactly what I've been looking for!"

And to top it off:

• Side and rear pockets for style plus function
• Smart detailing and top notch quality
• The story: Each piece is named after one of the design team's favorite New York beaches

If you're hunting for swim shorts with fit, "cool factor," quality and comfort, keep your eyes peeled for a pair of Zachary Prells. (Or if you're a Hendricks Park client, just ask your Style Expert to send you a pair now.) Then go hit the pool—and avoid the urge to stare at your reflection. 

Speaking of men's shorts in general... Check the Hendricks Park blog this  Monday for an exciting announcement. You may be sporting a new pair yourself soon, on the house. (We're all about surprises.)

Until then, have a great weekend!
