Cool as a Cucumber
Bring on the soft and elegant pastels and say goodbye to any worry about looking like an average Joe!
With the aptly named Cotton Oxford Fun Shirt, available from Ralph Lauren Boys, the enjoyment and sheer cool resonating out of you will be the highlight of any get together. Pair with light washed jeans and your favorite pair of sneakers to complete the look with a modern flair. Dive into this season with the confidence of light rose, baby blue and pale peach undertones backing you up every step of the way.
There couldn’t be a more important spring-to-summer outer layer than a good old “never going out of style no matter what’s going on in the world” denim jacket.
For a classically cool version of this ever-trendy garment I recommend the Cotton Denim Trucker Jacket, also from Ralph Lauren Boys. Made of lightweight denim and featuring the star spangled banner patch on the left sleeve, this jacket honors the timeless tastes of old americana with a contemporary cut that goes perfectly with any personalized fashion statement.
You thought cucumbers had a reputation for being cool?
Well it’s time for them to step aside and let the undeniable torrent of flyness that is you take the focus, front and center! What better way to do that than by adding the Maneff Dot Tie from Original Penguin Ties and Bowties into your wardrobe, I couldn’t say. With its periwinkle blue and scattered white polka dots this necktie oozes timeless sophistication and an aura of arctic-level coolness. Be bold and wear this versatile gem with any solid color shirt and pants combo you feel confident in.
Here’s another one for the books and undoubtable fashion success in your carefully cultivated look!
The Sacony Geo Tie, from Perry Ellis Ties, features a multi-tone design that’ll make you pop in all the right ways whether it’s night or day. Available in either a teal or charcoal color and featuring a mesmerizing geometric cube pattern, this necktie goes well with a light dress shirt in a shade of your choosing and dark grey dress pants.
A nice fitting checkered shirt has the power to bring together the different pieces of an outfit with an almost effortless ease and cool.
With the Men's Slim-Fit Comfort Stretch Coral Plaid Dress Shirt, available from Vince Camuto, the road to this fashion forward aesthetic is paved and ready for a test drive. Featuring a coral plaid pattern, the criss-crossing lines of pleasant color make this shirt one that is both easy to match and easy on the eyes.
