Be careful when making that all important decision that'll last for the next several months (or two weeks if you live in Florida!). It's the men's outwear jacket. Grays are IN, with a hint of sophisication and style. (1) jcrew's University Jacket captures the Harvard feel of brains with soft Italian wool. This geek goes for abou $170 on sale. (2) Gap's aric hooded parka is a stretch from the eskimos but that's ok. Comfortable and relaiable, it's a confident deal for $130. (3) Kenneth Cole Reation biker jacket is "uber" cool, as they say. For a measly $100, we'd have to "uber" agree.

 

the all important suit. it'll say whether you have genuine style or imitation looks. with the banana republic pinstripe suit, it's say exactly what you want. slightly skinnier than other suits and exuding a retro look, the suit is composed of wool and cashere.

when looking for suits, always take care to ask the expert which one matches you the best to fit your body type. whatever the suit, always be concerned about finer details, from the button to the material. and although you have to keep in mind cost, that bit extra cash could go a very long way when it comes to style.

Now you have to admit it, the best part of the holidays is the fact that you get to dress up in cool winter clothes, hence scarves, hats, gloves. The key to success though arecalm or trendy colors. Colors that convey the inner calmness or classiness within us. The textures are soft, and delicate to the touch- just like women. (1) Banana Republic wool plaid scarf conveys class at $40. Old Navy's (2) striped skinny scarf $13, striped knit cap $11, or (5) striped knit gloves $11. And then you can get down and dirty and CHEAP at target (5) with a complete set at $11, while retaining your sense of fashion.
