    Paul Smith To Design Exclusive Collection For Barneys New York

    There are stores I love, and then there are stores I wish I could love more. Oh, and by love I mean shop at. Barneys is one of those stores. Creative Director Simon Doonan has such a refreshingly lighthearted take on designer fashion that other high-end department stores seem to lack, and when the day comes that I lose all self-restraint and decide to blow my life savings on Lanvin bow pumps, I know I'll need plenty of humor to get me through it. I can count on Barneys for that. In the meantime, I'll have to focus my sights elsewhere, but when I heard Paul Smith was designing an exclusive collection for the retailer, I figured it deserved some attention! The collection of suiting, separates, and shirts, fittingly titled "Exclusive," will be available in Barneys flagship stores this fall. Smith had this to say about the upcoming line: "I have been privileged to work with Barneys New York for many years and so it's really great that I can do something that is especially for them and create an Exclusive collection where the designs are very Paul Smith." So what can we expect? Lots of striping, check designs, and velvet. So what if it's for the boys? You know I'll be there to check it (and the shoe section) out anyway.

    How Well Do You Know Your Hats?

    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.

    The Ultimate Wallet Diet

    The other night, I was eating dinner and having some stimulating conversation with a group of friends. When the check came, all the guys busted out their wallets and the shock detoured from how to divide the tab to how fat some of these wallets were. All of them had the girth of a telephone book from a small town in Texas, but one of them took the gold medal for the Olympics of wallet obesity. It was busting at the seams with accumulated receipts dating back to 2005, credit cards, video store cards, gym cards, library cards and I think there was a membership card to the Burger King Kid's club circa 1988. I, on the other hand, showcased my Entermodal flip wallet. It was slim, minimal and had everything I needed. It fit perfectly in my front pocket and it didn't disturb the equilibrium of my swagger. That said, I urge all gentlemen to check their wallets. If the wallet looks like a brick, then perhaps you need to put it on a diet. The average gentleman needs two forms of ID, two credit cards and one miscellaneous spot (for your gym card, work entry card, etc.) €“ all suitable for a slim card case. As for your cash, you don't really need a wallet for that. Fold it neatly and put it in your pocket or if you prefer, you can sneak it into your slim wallet. All of this depends on your lifestyle. If you absolutely need to carry a copious amount of cards, then you'll need a bigger wallet, but it shouldn't be the next contestant on the "Biggest Loser." Here are some slim wallets that can take some weight off your shoulders €“ literally and figuratively. Click on the slideshow!

    Hive 5: Men's Cardigans Are Cozy Fall Favorites

    Changing seasons can be quite disorienting. The chilly weather prompts you too pull on a heavy winter coat, yet when you start moving around you're suddenly hot and sticky. Luckily, cardigan sweaters are just the right solution to this too hot, too cold dilemma. Seemingly created with fall in mind, cardigans are light enough to wear open on pleasant autumn afternoons, but can also be bulked-up with a scarf on crisp nights. This fall, I'm loving the simple colors and cozy knit textures of men's cardigans. Classic yet cuddle-provoking, cardigan sweaters are a perfect fall staple. I've compiled my five favorite men's cardigans from in and around the Hive, so check them out in my SLIDESHOW!
