Outfit of the Day featuring T.Christopher

T.Christopher has been on my radar for some time now for their great swimwear and because their clothes is made in NYC. I'm glad I was able to have the chance to try out a couple of their pieces a few days ago while enjoying the day in Central Park in NYC. Their concept is about being able to transition from the beach to wherever the day takes you with ease. I wasn't going to the beach but I was not going to let that stop me from enjoying the cool plaid trunks and pink pique polo.

Confession- It was my first time wearing pink. I've avoided it at all costs. I'm not even sure why! That's no longer the case.

The swim trunk fits like a glove. Love the lightweight fabric. 

So, two things I hope you've learned. 1- T.Christopher has some cool pieces. 2- Don't be afraid of trying out new colors.

Fair Isle Look for NYFW

Whether you're planning what to wear apres-ski or going about town- I loved wearing this look for New York Fashion Week: Men's. The fairisle sweater is as classic as a tweed herringbone blazer and this one stays true to its roots and still has a cool urban feel. In addition to the sweater I also wore wool utility joggers. This is the first time I wear joggers and think this is as far as I can go for this trend.

My Spring Go-To's

My four legged friend Baci, joined me to show you one of our favorite go-to spring looks. For spring I wear pieces that can work no matter what mother nature has up her sleeve. You can't go wrong with a water resistant jacket, just in case it rains and the weather channel forgot to mention it. I also like to brighten things up with a light blue button down and blue sneakers. During the winter I tend to wear a lot of black, navy is my transitional color. And as a personal trick I like to wear chinos if it rains- they dry faster than denim. What are some of your spring go-to pieces?

Note- Baci is wearing something special too. His collar is from Cambridge Satchel Company x Peanuts collection. What can I say, even my canine friends are stylish. // Ojo- Baci tambien tiene puesto algo especial. Su collar es de Cambridge Satchel Company por Peanuts. Que te puedo decir, aun mis amigos caninos visten bien.

Mi amigo canino, Baci me acompaña para mostrarles mi ropa favorita para la primavera. En esta temporada escojo ropa que sin importar los cambios drásticos del clima serán apropiadas. Sin dudarlo un jacket aprueba de agua es esencial por si acaso llueve y el noticiero se le olvidó mencionarlo. En adición, me gusta ponerme colores un poco mas brillantes ya que tiendo a vestirme de negro durante el invierno. Tambien acostumbro ponerme pantalones tipo chino en vez de jeans porque se secan mucho mas rapido. Y a ti, que te gusta ponerte en la primavera?

What I Wore: Fashion Week Edition

In my opinion, one of the most important things to remember when preparing to attend fashion week is to feel confident with what you're wearing. There is no point on wearing something "cool" when its not you or its physically uncomfortable. When choosing what I was going to wear on one of the days I was attending shows I reached for my favorite jeans from Jacob Davis. The Benjamin Franklin sweater is from upcoming designer, Fabrice Tardieu added a graphic wow factor. The weather was also something to be mindful of so the extra layers were a must with Isaora, J.Crew, Men In Cities, Rockport and Kaibosh sunglasses. I was warm and felt great going from show to show.

En mi opinión, una de las cosas mas importantes de recordar cuando uno se prepara para ir a los shows de Fashion Week es de sentirse seguro y comodo con lo que tenga puesto. No hay ningún punto en ponerse algo "cool" si es algo que no te sienta y es fisicamente incomodo. Para el primer dia que asistí a los shows me puse mis jeans favoritos de Jacob Davis. El suéter con la cara de Benjamin Franklin de diseñador Fabrice Tardieu añade un factor grafico. Yo tuve que tener en mente el clima por eso me puse Isaora, J.Crew, Men In Cities, Rockport y las gafas de Kaibosh. Yo estaba comodo hiendo de show a show. 

Outfit of the Day: New Year's Eve

It's here, New Year's Eve and if you decided to go out and celebrate but barely have time to think of what would be appropriate here is one look you can easily copy. I thought this year I'd try a more sophisticated outfit. I decided on wearing a Jack Wills charcoal suit because it's such a classic color and you seriously can't go wrong with that. My shirt is a patchwork plaid shirt from ASOS- any plaid shirt will do the trick. For the bow tie I decided to go with this great olive green one from Men In Cities. The bow tie gives the look color without being obnoxious. Not sure if you're a bow tie kind of guy, then wear a solid tie. Either way you'll look good ushering in the new year!

Casi ha llegado el año nuevo y si has decidido salir y celebrar pero apenas tienes tiempo de pensar en que ponerte este look es fácil de copiar. Este año decidí vestirme un poco mas elegante que los años anteriores. Tengo puesto un gabán de Jack Wills en gris oscuro por que es un color clásico y nunca te se ve mal. Mi camisa es de cuadros de ASOS. Facilmente cualquier camisa de cuadros te dará este look. Me puse una pajarita verde oliva de Men In Cities. La corbata de lazo le da color al look sin ser muy llamativo. Si no estas seguro si la pajarita es tu estilo ponte una corbata eso si, tiene que ser un color solido. Cualquiera que decidas te veras bien dandole la bien venida al año nuevo!

3-Ways To Wear A Suit

3 maneras De Ponerse Un Gabán

You already know how to wear a shirt and tie with your suit. Here is how to maximize what you already own or will own in the near future. As soon as I laid eyes on this ASOS suit I knew I wanted it and all these different ways to wear it came to mind.

Ya sabes como ponerte tu gabán con una camisa y corbata. Aqui vas a ver cuantas maneras hay para utilizar lo que ya tienes y tendrás entre poco. Cuando vi este gaban de ASOS enseguida supe que lo quería y pense en todas estas maneras en como ponerme lo.

Use the blazer as a sports coat. If you get a neutral color like grey, navy and khaki without a particular pattern like herringbone or pinstripes you'll find it easier to use as a separate. In some parts of the country the temperature drops in the evenings. This look is great for a night out and you can opt out of the cardigan and still look sharp.

Usalo como un jacket. Escoge un color neutral como gris, azul marino, o khaki sin diseño para que sea mas facil de combinar. En algunas partes del país todavía hace frío cuando oscurece. Este look es perfecto para salir en la noche y fácilmente te quitas el cardigan y todavía te veras bien. 

I wore this look for an event and felt so comfortable, even though I was wearing a suit I wasn't over dressed. Note- here is another use for your stripe t-shirt. If your like me you probably have half a dozen of them.

Yo me puse este look para un evento la semana pasada y me senti tan comodo. Aunque tenia puesto el gabán no me sentí muy formal. Ojo- aquí hay otro oportunidad para ponerte tu camiseta de rallas. Si eres como yo tienes algunas cuantas. 

A polo can go a long way, keep it chic and simple with a black, navy or grey polo. Want to be bold go for green, yellow and red. Remember a smile is the perfect accessory it shows that you're comfortable and people will take notice.

Un polo realmente es esencial, manten un look chic con el color negro, gris, y azul marino. Quieres ser mas llamativo? Ponte uno de color verde, rojo o amarillo. Recuerda que una sonrisa es el acesorio perfecto eso muestra que estas comodo y los que te rodean lo van anotar.
