    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.

    Blaze A Trail: Fresh Mixing and Matching With Blazers!

    Listen up ladies, if there is one piece to take your wardrobe to the next level, it's a well-fitting blazer. Nothing can more successfully carry you through all four seasons. In the fall and winter, wear it with skinny jeans, a t-shirt and boots, over a long sweater and leggings, or with a matching skirt for a perfectly suit-able outfit! In the spring and summer, match it with a color-popping bright jersey dress, crispy white shorts for a sailor look, or white jeans and gold jewelry for a sophisticated casual evening out. Buying in navy or black structured shoulder is optimal, because of the flexibility you'll have will be unmatched. Try to avoid high cotton blends, because it defeats the purpose of an elegant piece. I really love the Elizabeth and James 'James' jacket and the Banana Republic classic blazer. Check out my slideshow for lots of blazers to mix up your look!

    Look at any red carpet event these days, and you'll be seeing more tuxedo jackets than ever before - and not just on the boys. Gone are the days when the structured tuxedo jacket was only to be seen on the date of the starlet attending award shows and premieres! Today the ladies are taking this suit component into their own hands. Seen on the likes of Ashley Olsen, Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Natalie Portman, this style is sure to stick around. Over a formal gown, with tailored tuxedo shorts, or paired with jeans, this style seems to have infinite possibilities. For the classic style suit up with Paul and Joe's "Edgarpoe" jacket. On the other end of the spectrum mix up the style with Cosa Nostra's innovation (Project Runway winner Jeffrey Sebelia's line). Make sure to check out the SLIDESHOW to discover where to buy these extremes and and everything in between! To see the style in action click over to Brittany Snow's Celeb Style Swipe.
