Add Some Color To Your Summer

Summer is a great time to wear color- do not be afraid of it! For a more subtle approach to color watch out for the intensity of the colors. This look includes a rich green pair of chinos with a light blue oxford shirt and red sunglasses for a touch of contrast. 

Note- The oxford shirt is a must-have for summer, especially one that is made of Egyptian cotton like this one from Hugh & Crye. The medium weight of the fabric makes it a great option for the warmer climate. Also, you can't go wrong with a light blue shirt. They work well for adventures around town during the weekend and for more professional settings during the week.

3- Ways To Wear The Army Shirt

In this installment of the 3-Ways to Wear series it's all shot Selfie style. This past week my vintage German army shirt has been my go-to item. I ended up using it as a light jacket and never regretted it. How many pieces do you own that are this versatile? I found this one Polo Ralph Lauren  and Michael Bastian to be great options.

If you want something more authentic like mine check out an army surplus store near you. In NYC the best place is Kaufman's Army and Navy.

Classic American Sunglasses Michael Bastian Style

Randolph Engineering by Michael Bastian

Having lived in SoCal for a couple of years my appreciation for sunglasses has quadrupled. So when I was invited to the Randolph Engineering by Michael Bastian Spring/Summer 2013 eyewear launch I felt like two of my favorite things finally came together. I had a few minutes to talk to the man of the hour, Michael Bastian about his eyewear collection. He explained that he went in to the archives and updated and tweaked some of their classic designs by using different materials or shapes but still keeping true to the Randolph Engineering spirit but with the MB touch. As you can see the end product speaks for itself, these designs are timeless and both men and women will love to wear them.

Después de haber vivido en el sur de California por par de años mi apreciación por gafas de sol a aumentado grandemente. Así que cuando fui invitado al lanzamiento de la colección de primavera/verano 2013 de Randolph Engineering por Michael Bastian senti que finalmente dos de mis cosas favoritas se unieron. Tuvo la oportunidad de hablar con el hombre del momento y me explicó que él entró a los archivos y actualizo y ajusto algunos de sus diseños clásicos pero manteniendose fiel a la esencia de Randolph Engineering pero con el toque MB. Como se puede ver el producto final habla por sí mismo, estos diseños son atemporales y los hombres y las mujeres les encantaran usarlos.

In addition to showcasing the eyewear collection, the Michael Bastian's Spring/Summer 2013 collection was also shown.
