So, forget the fact that he’s paired black with brown, though some do not have issues with that, but let’s just give credit where it is due.
This gentleman from New York has tossed society’s social pressures to the winds, because he does not just wear this Monocle, he owns it.
Last night I was at dinner with some friends, and one of them asked me what exactly constituted the proper attire for going out. I guess many guys think they simply have to pair suit jackets with some oddly striped shirt that they untuck so that they look “more casual” (ps. don’t ever wear a shirt with that many stripes).
Whatever you want to wear to “go out” should be appropriate to A: wear you’re going and B: the weather. If you choose to wear a suit, go full out suit and don’t be embarrassed to do so, you’ll stand out (in a good way) unless you’re going to a Rodeo Bar.
So how do you wear suit elements without wearing a full out suit? Here are my thoughts and suggestions:

Fit is usually everything in an outfit. If those jeans were a little too long, or that rain coat a little bigger, he would have looked sloppy, unkempt.
This young gentleman from Milan shows the edgier side of Milanese men’s fashion, which is often overlooked for the more tailored and traditional sorts of fashion.
Our guest blogger this week is Zuriick sneakers and multiple members of the company. Several members of the Eleven staff wear Zuriick, who produce both understated and rambunctious styles for the sneaker enthusiast. We interviewed Michael McCaleb of Zuriick so that you could get a feel of where he was coming from.
It hasn’t exactly been spring time weather, at least not on the East Coast of the States. This gentleman from London illustrates how to incorporate spring-time color even when there isn’t spring-time weather.

We are big on color here. It is no wonder that when we heard the Levi’s were going to push out jeans with some truly brilliant matte-like colors, we got excited.
You can of course snag a pair at Levis.com

I was just going through shots at altamira, seeing all the style from London fashion week, and I saw Kanye West, sans mullet.
Did Kanye actually cow-tow to the pressure of people questioning his choices with the mullet? I wonder if Kanye is capable of even acknowledging that people might have not caught on with Kanye’s hair choice.
Though, I have to say that cardigan is pretty sweet.

I think this is a case of elements of style that I would like by themselves, but, together, it seems a little bit much. Honestly, the cool thing about the outfit is how he was able to bring out just a dash of red to offer an alternative to the matte colors of his boots and coat. I just wish he didn’t put on the sparkly shirt.
He’s in Amsterdam so I guess he can just do whatever he wants.

People talk about how Europe is great because of the train and other various public transportation systems. It seems that this bloke from London has grand enthusiasm for trains.
The coolest elements of the outfit are the gloves, the length of the coat and how his sleeves contrast, and of course, the coat itself. The hat? Not sure how I feel about the “Conductor” look, but, hey, to each his own, right?

Swedish athletic company Tretorn have teamed up with Acne Jeans to come up with this, the Phoenix sneaker. It is based off of a design put forth by Tretorn, who are kinda like the Converse of Sweden (but not as good as the AMERICAN VERSION! U-S-A, U-S-A…er). It is a pretty cool sneaker and at 65 quid its not half bad.
Check them out here.

Yes, I called them sneaks.
