    10 Trendy Trench Coats For Under $200!

    When it comes to outerwear, trench coats are totally chic when you want to add a layer that's sleek, unlike your other bulky winter coats and fur-lined down jackets. They may not be the warmest all-weather option, but trenches can still keep you toasty if you opt for a wool version, and with the help of a built-in belt you don't need to worry about sacrificing your shape under a heap of fabric. Rain-friendly varieties can help you stay dry while you're braving the frightful weather, and with the added convenience of detachable hood, you practically have two multi-purpose coats in one! Of course, the perfect trench can force you into some serious debt, but lucky for all you thrifty fashionistas, I've found a selection of ten different trenches for $200 or less! Check them out in the slideshow!

    Head For Neutral Territory: Earthy Looks For Men

    image
    Dino-Ray Ramos on Mar 31, 2009 1:19 PM PDT
    I have a philosophy that men should have a solid assortment of neutral-colored pieces in their wardrobe-- and when I say neutral, I am not just referring to black. I am referring to the earthy prismatic rainbow that includes gray, khaki, brown, navy and, of course, the good ol' standby, black. Choosing neutral pieces is like picking a canvas for you to paint on. When choosing something like a Ralph Lauren poplin barrel shirt, think of a pop of color that would compliment it (I'll go over choosing fun colors later). The best thing about neutral colored clothing is that it goes with just about everything, which makes it anything but boring. You can even go with neutral accessories that stand in the background of your colorful garb. A khaki Kenneth Cole messenger bag is a universal accessory as is the neutral colorblock tie by Thomas Pink. The trick about neutrals is to have a balance, because if you wear too much black, you run the risk of looking like an undertaker-- and no one wants that. Take a look at my slideshow for more neutrals to choose from.

    Get City Girl Olivia Palermo's Polished Chic Look

    While the character she plays, or is, on The City is pretty loathe-able, you've got to admit Olivia Palermo's style is pretty phenomenal. The socialite has a major knack for mixing and matching throwing high-end items together with low-end and playing with varying proportions, cuts, and fabrics. At the book launch for Awareness: Inspiring Stories About How to Make a Difference hosted by Kenneth Cole, Olivia looked polished and chic with a bit of edgy-fashion-forwardness thrown into the mix wearing a red skirt with cascading ruffles, a loose blazer, platform ankle boots and some seriously statement-making necklaces. This look can work for an event, the office, a date, cocktail hour, and so much more, so why not give it a go?

    Studly Style Staple: A Pea Coat!

    Dino-Ray Ramos on Jan 14, 2009 9:25 AM PST
    I have a very special attachment to my pea coat €“ and an even more special story to go with it. About four years ago, I was living in Austin as a struggling freelance writer (I was also an engraver at that store Things Remembered). I had been looking for the perfect pea coat for over a month to complete my gentleman wardrobe. I was about to give up €“ until I entered one of the local vintage stores right across the street from the University of Texas. I was drawn to a rack of coats in the back and as I sifted through them, I saw it: a perfect, authentic black pea coat. As soon as I saw it, I knew we were made for each other. I put it on and it fit perfectly. Without thinking, I took it to the register and she said, "It'll be $40." I reached into my pocket for cash and I only had $35. Thinking I had failed again in my pea coat hunt, I said, "I don't have enough." The beautiful boho-chic girl behind the register smiled and said, "You can have it for $35 €“ it's no big deal." From that moment on, my pea coat and I have been inseparable €“ at least in winter time. That said, every gentleman should have some sort of pea coat that they connect with. Whether it's a classic one from J. Crew, a sleek and modern variation from Oak, or a dandy creation from Spiewak, choose one that fits your personality, but at the same time, keeps you warm. Check out the slideshow for more examples of this winter staple.

    Lace Up Boots Suitable for Fashion Combat

    The other day while browsing through the men's shoe department at Bloomingdale's, DSW and the ultimate shopping mecca, Barneys New York, I became fascinated with one particular item: black lace up boots. My sartorial senses honed in on the bad ass aesthetic that mostly works with just with a pair of jeans and T-shirt. For a more ambitious look, I imagined myself in an uber-modern John Varvatos slim suit with a silhouette-friendly pair of lace ups. I even tried on a pair of JV lace ups and I immediately fell in love. I walked around Barneys to give them a test drive, strutting around like a rock n' roll runway model. I felt like the coolest guy in the world €“ but then the sales associate chastised me. Even though it was written in the stars for me to be the owner of those $600 JV boots, I reluctantly gave the wood soled boots back to the glaring associate. As soon as I got home, I printed out a picture of the boots and put them on my vision board to satisfy the universe's desire for them to be in my closet. Until then, I am going to call my dad and have him send me his old Air Force combat boots so that I can relieve my boot craving. But if you don't have a direct connection to the armed forces, here are some combat boots for you to make you look chic when you romp around the city.

    Bag of the Week: YSL's Swing Bag

    image
    Lisanne Silverman on Feb 21, 2008 1:16 PM PST
    It would take countless amounts of time and web space to list every reason why we love YSL so much, but for now, I'll just stick with one: they always manage to create handbags that hover somewhere between the classic appeal we appreciate and "it" bag status we crave. But then, the prices always seem to hover between $1,000 and, well, beyond. The swing bag is a prime example-- the shape is simple yet statement-making, and the muted metallic hue is just trendy enough while still maintaining the bag's ability to function as an everyday option. But again, at $1,895, this isn't your average everyday bag.
