What’s your fashion style?

Spiegel’s got a cool quiz that helps you to identify your style.  It nailed me…dramatic.  Perfect fit for a woman who wore a fur wrap, pearls and 4-inch heels to a networking event where most folks had on jeans.  LOL.  
Take the quiz now it might help you decide which trends from this season work best [...]

Office Basics for the Male Wardrobe

This week we are keeping it very basic.  I have to give my opinion for just one moment… pleated pants are equivalent to the ruffled tuxedo shirt of the 70’s — dated!  Yes, some people still have them and there is a time and a place to wear them (retro-parties and the like) but for [...]

New York Fashion Week - Spring 2010 Wrap Up: The New Trends

Okay, so yesterday we covered the trends already (or should have already been in your closet).  Today we’ll cover the new ones.  I love these three — volume, flowers, and metallic.
