French-based pan-European brand The Jante Law was one of the clear standouts for me at the mens trade shows; they were all about creating simple, beautiful mens pieces and had a charmingly irreverent...
Mint and peas, and a little bit of carrot: the colors Im crushing on are not quite jewel-toned, not quite neon, but are darned delectable.pea green suede New Balance ML574 sneakers (c/o ASOS), mint g...
I like the idea of the smaller-than-A4 portfolio bag, or, dare I say, the clutch, on men. It would look as handsome with a dark suit to lunch as it would be with a tailored coat and sneakers running ...
A few weeks ago, I met this guy at a party at the Soho Grand, a bag designer, and he pulled out his phone and he showed me his stuff, and it was minimal and masculine and elegant---New York is great ...
My eyes went straight to the models chests at Prada Fall 2012: I saw stick pins in twos, napkin-like pocket squares, leather flowers stuffed into pockets, and other goodies. Prada might possibly be t...
Ive been pretty lean on the DIY posts as of late, and let me tell you why. One can only cut up and metallicize so many shorts and paint-splatter so many shoes before it just gets old; I cant sew, and...
The perfect black coat did not come to me perfect, and it is highly likely that it wont for you either. Right after it had arrived at my apartment, I wrote down my own fit notes, compared them with w...
Theres no suit cut surgically sharp enough to hide the weight Ive gained the past few days, but neither is there a vision of myself in the mirror with beauty that matches the pleasure of savoring the...

The leather blazer gets a bad rap. Ive never really seen a leather blazer that is to my taste; often theyre unflatteringly cut, poorly made, and just plain unimaginative. But my Hisham Oumlil blazer ...
Ever the dress-shoe-as-sneakers person, I thought Id turn the tables this holiday season and wear something colorful, skater-esque, and decidedly casual on Christmas day. I dug up a pair of Vans Old ...
Saturday evening was the annual holiday party at the home of my friends Ivy Kirzhner, shoe designer, photographer, and all-around creative soul, and her husband Alex, Grammy-nominated art director an...
Back in Boston for three days, I thought Id revisit old stomping grounds and old sartorial habits. When the temperature drops to the thirties, Fauxji Yamamoto is my go-to look. A long oversize black ...
Im at my uncles in Boston for a quick holiday---the one who lives at the Ritz, acts more like a Gen-Yer than a baby boomer, flies to China for medical missions, the one who happens to have a pair of ...
I paid a visit to Hisham Oumlils studio last weekend and was pleasantly surprised by what I found. Oumlil, who had started his line in the fall of 2006, had been relatively under the radar since, wit...
New Years Eve dinner, two years ago, my sister decides to send sound waves crashing with my brain waves as she blows a horn in my ear. My brother, of course, has the quick wit to pull up his camera a...

Call me hypocritical singing praises for fresh flowers just two posts ago, but these knitted floral imitations are just too hard to resist. I spotted a gray one on Barneys New Yorks Julien Decanali a...
I have been known to wear dress shoes to just about any occasion, but there is a time and place for sneakers: long walks of food guilt, volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, the morning after. Thoug...
An oldie but goodie, this editorial styled by Nicola Formichetti for the very first issue of Vogue Hommes Japan has always been an inspiration for the way I dress. People underestimate the natural be...
Weve all had our eyes lined before---Halloween, school plays, afternoons spent curiously fiddling around at Sephora...---often to a much too harsh, unflattering effect. Though I do maintain that men ...
