Plaid, Patterns, Pizazz

Plaid shirt weather is all year round... 

you simply can't go wrong with a timeless pattern and classic material. The Plaid Cotton Twill Shirt is a great example of this ever-in-style staple and is available now from Ralph Lauren Boys. Three different color schemes allow for your young man’s personal pizazz to shine through and the 100% cotton softness will keep him warm and cozy all day long. The shirt is complete with a subtle polo logo on the left chest pocket. Pair with tan khaki pants or dark washed blue jeans for an effortless look that is quintessentially cool.

For those who have been following this fashion guide for any amount of time...

you'll know that I am a fan of the tie that pulls together the outfit. Frills and feathers on clothing is all fine, but a nice necktie can truly convey the confidence a complete ensemble. The Arminto Gid Tie from Original Penguin Ties and Bowties is one way to achieve this no longer lofty goal! With a navy backdrop and a simple wide checked pattern throughout, the necktie is all the elegance without the need for over the top extravagance.

As seen on the previous tie...

a subdued two-tone design can do a lot for the simplicity and class of an item of clothing. With the Men's Plaid Forest Glen Skinny Tie, created for Macy's by Bar III, that pattern becomes a rule. Available in navy or black, this necktie also goes along with the initial theme of the day (lest we forget) : plaid is always in style! Wear either tie with a light grey dress shirt and black slacks and revel in the joy of knowing that you have succeeded in being pleasantly plaid.

As much as I'm a fan of timeless patterns and subtle statements...

my habitual readers will know that bold underwear is perhaps one of the strongest fashion passions of mine. The King Kash Classic Boxer Brief, available from Tango Hotel Underwear, really does say it and display it all. Whether you like them in white or blue, they'll be adorned with enough dollar bill signs to make you feel like your pants are bursting with cash. The briefs are designed for optimal breathability, comfort, and creative expression. Dare to put your money where your underwear is!
