I Like LOOKBOOK.nu

This site is pretty cool. I am finding some interesting looks. But what I am also finding is that trends penetrate into the minds of millions exponentially. So while I am seeing some unique looks I am finding an awful lot of skinning jeans, cuffed pants, and ties with jeans. I mean DAMN does everybody own a pair of skinny jeans now? I am all for clothes fitting but I don't want my family jewels all tied in a knot.

I found this brother, Jimmy B., on LOOKBOOK that paired an ascot with a polo. But once again he has his jeans rolled up. Do you truly have your own style when you follow current trends?

He pairs a jean jacket with a polo in his second look. I think I am seeing an emergence of the jean jacket again, as long as you don't wear matching jeans with it.

LOOKBOOK.nu...AJ a 22 Year Old Guy

I found this new site called Lookbook.Nu, which is basically the everyman's Sartorialist blog. So since the most of else will never be profiled on Schuman's site you can go to Lookbook.Nu and present your Sartorial point of view. I randomly found this guy AJ who of course is sporting some cool polo looks. In the first image he is wearing a vintage white Ralph Lauren polo and in the second image he is wearing Fred Perry. I am not a fan of the highwater pants but it seems to work for him.

Naturally Cool


The image speaks for itself. Polo is from Lacoste.

White Jeans...Are Men Suppose to Wear Them

Stefano Gabbana, the G in D&G, says that white jeans aren't "difficult to comprehend," since they're a variation on a article of clothing every guy is familiar with. pair them with a trim polo and leather belt for polished, fuss-free look.

Notice D&G used a polo because anything else would have been uncivilized, lol. I think the look works, never really thought about white jeans till I saw this image. Guess I will have to add white jeans to my Christmas list.

DETAILS Magazine...Investment Pieces

DETAILS magazine considered this polo designed by TSE Men as one of their Top 10 Investment Pieces. DETAILS describes the polo as unexpectedly refined and supersoft. I might have to check it out.

Cuffed Pants...Give Me a Break

I still don't get how cuffing your pants has become the fashionable thing to do. Frankly it looks a little ridiculous. But who am I to say what is ridiculous when every designer is doing it...Fashion Week pretty much ingrained this cuffed fad into everyones mine. To be honest I tried it out but never made it out my front door before uncuffing my pants. I know this has nothing to do with polos, but I just had to get this off my chest. Here is a look from DSquared employing the infamous cuffed look.

Sorry to my Few Followers

Sorry fans. It has been over a week since I last made a post. Writers block is the main reason for this abbreviated sabbatical. For the past week every time I went to make a post I just couldn't figure out what to type. I was starting to get very frustrated because when I started the post my intentions were to make at least 1 post a day. So I finally said "Enough is Enough." I had to write something to get back on track because I have just scratch the surface of the multi-layered world of polos in fashion. So tune in friends because I am here to stay.
