    Picture yourself in a boat on a river.... The Beatles may have had something there. We've seen the fedora come and go and the floppy sun hat loitering around, but the new shape in hats is... drumroll please... the boater hat. It's a classic silhouette, but the mini boater hat from Pixie Market was the first to re-catch our eye, now we can't stop spotting them on the style-set in the streets. We love this perfect straw boater hast with grosgrain ribbon from Brooks Brothers & suggest you give this new/old shape a try.

    "Picture yourself in a boat on a river..." The Beatles may have had something there. We've seen the fedora come and go and the floppy sun hat loitering around, but the new shape in hats is...drumroll please...the boater hat. Seen on the Spring 09 Marc Jacobs runway and now your closet! It's a classic silhouette, but the mini boater hat from Pixie Market was the first to re-catch our eye, now we can't stop spotting them on the style-set in the streets. We love this perfect straw boater hat with grosgrain ribbon from Brooks Brothers & suggest you give this new/old shape a try. Perfect for lazy summer days in the park with your favorite floral print dress. Or try polishing up your standard skinny jeans and a slouchy t-shirt getup with a proper boater hat.

    Khaki Suits Keep It Cool In The Spring And Summer

    A khaki suit is like a refreshing beverage on a warm day. It's crisp. It's light and it suits (no pun intended) the season. As the cooler seasons come to a close, put your black suit on the back burner and go for some lighter fare. A suit within the color palette of khaki can look just as good and sleek as a black suit. Another bonus for the khaki garb is that a lot of them are sold as separates and there's more versatility with the pieces-- but personally, I like to keep them all together. I have a separate black and khaki blazer that I use as my fail-safe separate. With the Ralph Lauren Rugby Newbury Chino suit, you can look like the perfect dandy and with a classic Brooks Brothers two-button poplin suit you can be the refined gentleman you were meant to be. A khaki or tan suit has this "happy-go-lucky" vibe that shines with the sun. With the right shirt, tie and pocket square, a lighter suit is a must for the spring and summer seasons. Check out the slideshow for some of these cool suits that are a lighter shade of brown.

    It's Hip to be "Square!"

    A pocket square can work in two ways: it can be a flourish of color erupting out of your breast pocket or it can be a crisp, structured piece of fabric showing power a la Don Draper from "Mad Men." I myself have a big arsenal of pocket squares €“ maybe a little too big. There was one point in my sartorial life when I kept on buying pocket squares without thinking. I was obsessed. Now that I look in the drawer that is specifically designated for my squares, I look at some of them and say, "What in the hell was I thinking?" That said, don't make the same mistake I did. Keep it simple and/or bold. When choosing patterned squares, pick one that will be suitably showcased in your pocket. Remember- for the most part, the pocket square won't be seen in its entirety. Whether you choose the classic J. Crew white linen pocket square or something from the dapper man's Mecca, FineAndDandyShop.com , a gentleman should have at least one in his wardrobe. Choose from my picks in the SLIDESHOW and you'll be the ultimate purveyor of dandyism.

    How Well Do You Know Your Hats?

    image
    Dino-Ray Ramos on Dec 5, 2008 2:21 PM PST
    I have a reasonable arsenal of hats in my wardrobe. Actually, I only rotate two of them: a black Fred Perry newsboy cap and a slouchy khaki driver's cap from H&M. With hats being such a hot commodity (and a nice Christmas gift) with hipsters and fashionistas alike, there is a happy myriad of styles that are hard to differentiate. Sure, there is the run-of-the-mill cap, but what about all those other ones? What makes my newsboy cap different from a driver's cap? Does Justin Timberlake have an affinity for fedoras or trilbies? Is a bowler strictly worn by bowlers or is it Charlie Chaplin's signature hat? Is a porkpie a diner delicacy or a jazzy head topper? And what exactly is a Panama hat? Instead of trying to go into the details of the different kind of hats that are spreading like wildfire throughout the fashion world, go to the slideshow for a pictorial glossary.

    New York Fashion Week Style Steal: I'll Wear What He's Wearing

    Boys, take note: the graphic tee, blazer, and jeans combo never, and I mean never, fails. Change up the color scheme and throw on some quirky accessories (mint wayfarers, tennis shoes) and you'll be set for anything- and anyone- who comes your way. The colorful jacket is a bit daring, but he wears it so well, and as for the casually half-buttoned, sleeves rolled up style, well, it's just so effortless. I can show you where to find pretty much everything he's wearing, but style like his just can't be bought. Click the slideshow to try and get the look!
