MAN-drobe

we're flattered you men out there think we have good style. you'd be surprised to see what i wear to work everyday and the word 'chic' is the last thing that comes to mind.  and sis wouldn't exactly call herself a 'fashionista' these days.  given that, again, we're so flattered you're turning to us for a little fashion help. 

so first, we're turning out what we think are examples of good male style for the everyday man.   we're talking things we would like to see you in on an average day.  or at least aspire to pull off.

next up, we're including THE everyday essentials for your closet.

patagonia jacket

the new north face and just right. and on sale for cheap.

jack purcells or converse sneakers

we vote jack.

chambray all the way.

if you think you got it, pair with khakis.

rainbows

no other acceptable footwear come summertime

j.crew broken-in t-shirts

the softest, most comfortable t-shirt out there

worn-in-in-all-the-right-places jeans

we would recommend these.  BE certified.

suede zip up jerseys

works for the office or the bar.  sold out at j.crew now. but keep checking the sale section or other retailers.

waffleknit thermals.

you've been wearing them since high school and we still love it paired with the shortsleeve tee on top.

loafers

skip the pennies though.  these will work.

the baseball tee.

another crowd pleaser. and cheap too.

chronograph watch

so you're never late.

anything with elbow patches.
the extra effort goes a long way.

button-down plaid shirts.

remember? and roll up the cuffs, please.

and when all else fails...
keep
layering
it
on.
it's key. yes, you will probably be on fire but you will look hot.
