Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[jrthumper85]

I never noticed that there was a David Beckham line at H&M. Anyone get any of this collection? thoughts? comments?

Also looking to pick an outfit for New Years. Keep that idea and talk going.

Was thinking about getting this from H&M. Kinda loud but I like the cw.

 

[deltadogman1]

nah. I just think the price of lunarguards etc. is a bit of a turn off

But Cole Haan use to be an affordable premium style shoe maker, now Nike is making these euro influenced hybrids that are totally opposite of that notion.

I THOUGHT THE BECKS STUFF WAS JUST UNDERWEARZ?

 

[quik1987]

Nike sold Cole Haan btw

 

[knightlovesqueen]

I HEARD

SO I WONDER IF THESE LUNARS WILL BE LIMITED LOL

 

[jordanscrub]

IT WASNT UNTIL THE LUNARGRANDS DID I EVER GIVE COLE HAAN A LOOK.

I WAS NEVER A FAN OF THEIR "AIR" GIMMICK.

GIMME DA LUNAR GIMMICK ANYDAY LOL

Definitely not a gimmick man

I don't own a pair because all the colors I want are gone, but I've worn them and they are by far the comfiest pair of dress shoes

 

[jordanscrub]

I HEARD

SO I WONDER IF THESE LUNARS WILL BE LIMITED LOL

They seem to keep pumping out new styles and colors so probably not

Apax Partners Worldwide LLP, the company that bought Cole Haan from Nike, most likely received the "Lunargrand Series" along with the rest of the company

 

[Grine]

YO! Let me know what you come up with in ATL. I am looking for something to do.

Ditto do I see a Team Atlanta NT coming up

I know Beckham did a campaign with H and M for underwears.

I saw Cole Haan Chukkas with the Lunar midsole and sole at Nordstrom yesterday. Looks like the line is so popular they're expanding.

I saw a wool scarf of mine getting eaten by the moths. Need to stop by Bed, Bath and Beyond to pick up more both repellent pronto.

Yeah but for the most part, this BS started when Nike made those models with the visible air packs in the soles.

 

[omgitswes]

So I know I'm late, but if anyone is generous enough to be my Secret Santa and get this coat for me. I'd rep every post of yours for 2 years
837, is too far out of my price range. But this coat is gorgeous

 

[melofan15]

[h1]Men in tights: how 'meggings' are taking fashion by storm[/h1]
Men's tights, for so long the preserve of ballet dancers and runway models, are taking Manhattan by storm and could soon be seen on the street of Britain.

When trendsetters speculated what would be the defining men's fashion movement to sweep New York this winter, few opted for the male legging.

But "Megging", as the male legging is known, is now all the rage in sartorial circles. Celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Russell Brand and Lenny Kravitz have all been spotted wearing leggings, while fashion stores Uniqlo, Barneys and Nordstrom are selling tights for men.

The bad news is they are on their way to Britain: Uniqlo is already selling them on its British website, and their success in New York is seen as an indication they will also prove popular here.

They are expected to follow on from the trend for "skinny jeans" on men, which have become a staple of the British high street.

One proud "megger" is Mark Dorosz, 34, an English internet entrepreneur who lives on the Upper East Side in Manhattan.

"Male tights are so much more comfortable than skinny jeans," he said. "I've always had good legs and it's nice to show them off all year round.

"There are so many people wearing exotic clothes in New York that nobody cares about a man wearing leggings if it works for him.

"Perhaps people will be laughing around this in 12 months' time but for now they come up to me and say, 'You look awesome.'"

Some New Yorkers, however, see the "megger" as an affront to masculinity. Gabriel Cru, 35, from the Bronx, said: "Men in tights? Get out of here. We don't do men in tights in New York. That's European!"

New York-based British fashion designer Lucy Sykes warned that 'megging' is a hard look to pull off. "The only guy I've seen that looks good in a legging is my friend Neil who works with me at Rent the Runway," she said. "But he's young, dark and handsome and used to perform ballet at Lincoln Centre.

"Frankly any other man I have seen [in tights] looks a bit of a wally."

I need to get myself a denim shirt like this one

I liked the shirt as well. I think the only thing that holds me back is if I can actually pull it off.

Will do some shopping this weekend so we will see.

For the people in the US that ordered from ssense: did you ever get hit with fees?
Do they put the amount you paid or do they lower the value so you can avoid fees?

I wouldn't know bro, sorry. Just passing along info.

[deltadogman1]

OK, fellas. The easiest way to stay fresh casually is to know your fabrics, not patterns or colors. And to further simplify that statement if your pay attention to the sheen, texture, weight, of each piece your pair together. Your outwear is basically the only piece that can stray from this rule. Next always have at least 5 white dress shirts, preferably of different fabric textures. Something i also am strictly against is wearing a tie with a button collar shirt. Thrift stores and second hand stores will keep you fresher than any catalog because real fashion never strays to far from convention, so in any era of clothing and fashion certain pieces will remain a constant style wise. One other trick is find a good seamtress or tailor and telling them exactly how you want your clothes to fit, they don't charge much for alterations. And black men please stop with the extreme Euro-Cuts, the natural contour of most of our bodies is  not suited for that, proper fit is more important than cut, anyday.

Common Projects are 50% off at Park & Bond, try and use GILT50 if it can knock 50% off your order ($100 max discount) but the code only works on certain Gilt accounts (Gilt owns Park&Bond) but worth a shot as it can bring some CP down to $100.
