    Suiting Up For The Opportunity, Inspired By Ryden Malby in ...

    After earning her degree, Post Grad protagonist Ryden Malby (played by Alexis Bledel) is bugging out on account of the economy's grim job market. It's a rocky boat to find yourself on, but don't let the hiring regrets get you down. It's easy to sit back and mope, but times like these require young adults like us to jump into the trenches and to keep putting our best food forward. Persistence is key, and no matter how many interviews you sweat through until you land what you need to launch your career, your efforts count. One of the best foot-in-the-door techniques for an interview is to dress like you own the place. Impressing the recruitment director with class that even shows up the CEO will certainly get you noticed as someone who's ready to suit up to be a member of the team. A wardrobe of suits, vests and blazers, however, doesn't need to look as bland as your father's closet: take a peek at our slideshow for a stylish way to blow your interviewer away! Keep your heads up, all you college grads -- the economy can't stay like this forever!

    How Do You Prefer Brad: White-Hot Or Dark & Handsome?

    This past week has been a big one for Brad Pitt (then again, when isn't it a good week to be Brad Pitt?) with the recent Hollywood premiere of his latest film, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. Decked out in head-to-toe black, save for a pair of gold-rimmed aviators and some goatee scruff, he looked sharp as always and accessorized flawlessly with leather-clad Angelina Jolie on his arm for nearly the entire night. Despite all the excitement, he wasn't too busy to lend support to pals Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams at the NYC premiere of The Time Traveler's Wife just two days later -- only this time dressed in head-to-toe white... with a similar pair of aviators and the same scruffy facial hair. Uh, Brad? What's with the monochromatic menswear? While we understand the desire to match and coordinate, that doesn't mean you need to wear all the same color... especially when these suit shades can hardly even be considered "colors!" I guess there's no use complaining -- the man still looks good, no matter how much variation he seems to lack. Personally, I enjoy him most in his wide-open bathrobe in Fight Club, but since that's not an option, vote below on which one-color ensemble you like best: Brad in white or Brad in black?

    Who's Your Favorite Funny Guy With A Serious Sense Of Style?

    What's sexier than a guy with a great sense of humor? Hmm... OH, I know! I know! A guy with a great sense of humor... who can actually dress himself! Can I get an "amen, sister"? Just kidding, but seriously -- I guess when it comes to most celebs and their hired stylists, we can't exactly give them all the credit for picking out their wardrobe on their own, but still -- a cute, funny guy who also happens to be fashionable is a fine find indeed. While it may be stereotypically safe to assume that most goofy guys have equally laughable closets, it's refreshing to know that some of the younger generation funny fellas, including the likes of John Krasinski and Andy Samberg, know that there's a time and a place for making the crowds chuckle -- and their three-piece suits and tailored shirts are no laughing matter! These guys may not be the next Brad Pitts, but looking at how well they clean up, it's no wonder why their collective dating record reads like a Victoria's Secret catalog! Vote below on who you think is the most stylish snicker-inducer of the bunch.

    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.

    Bring On The Cute Swimsuits!

    Everyone has their favorite childhood summer memories. While passing by little ones dodging waves and burying siblings in sand at the beach, it's hard not to wish you were a kid again. Sometimes, even, those youthful styles of bows and polka dots are what we really wish we could squeeze back into! Luckily, you can still find a suit for your rockin' grown-up bod that's carried over some of your favorite feminine features. Sure, wearing a one-piece, boat-necked, thick-strapped tutu is probably only something that can pass while you're too young to notice how ridiculous you look, so these more mature styles won't sink you deep into a pool of fashion faux pas. These fun, flirty, and oh-so-cute styles will give you a girl-next-door edge without losing that sexy, beach chic!

    Recession Chic: Shop Like A French Woman

    image
    Anna Yu on Apr 20, 2009 10:19 AM PDT
    At first glance, shopping like a French woman doesn't exactly seem like the most economically sensible thing to be doing right now. But give me a chance and hear me out. These days, we've been shopping based on the lowest price tags and highest discounts we can find. I admit I've purchased things that didn't fit or wasn't my style just because it was 75% off. Staring into a closet full of clothes I don't care to wear, I've started taking tips from the French! The first thing to do is go shopping with a plan. Much like making a grocery list before you go to the supermarket, make a list of what you need before you go to the mall. That way, you won't get sidetracked and go home with a bunch of clothes and accessories you don't need. Another suggestion is to figure out the cost-per-wear for what you're buying. A $500 high quality trench coat you wear three times a week for a year makes the cost per wear to be about $3. A trench coat made of a lesser quality may cost less at the beginning, but it could mean you have to buy a new one every few months. Also consider and assess every purchase you make. A neon dress may be an of the moment trend, but may not be something you want to wear 5 years down the line. Follow these rules and you'll be surprised at how much you can get out of a few simple pieces of clothing. Here's my list of essential items every French woman has in her closet, and you should too! Be sure to check out the slideshow to see where you can get the goods.


    1. Don't be afraid to spend the big bucks on well-fitting suit! You can wear the whole thing together at business meetings or just wear the jacket with jeans for a semi-casual night out.
    2. Ballet flats is a stylish and comfortable shoe choice for low-key days.
    3. A trench coat is utilitarian, but slap on some red lipstick and suddenly you're a film noir star!
