THE JEAN JACKET

Just in time for Spring. The Jean Jacket. Rocked in the 80’s and never looked back. The jean jacket is something every man woman and child had. This look has come back, but there are some ‘bad’ looks to avoid. If you’re really hip you’re fully trying to embrace the 90’s with the light acid washed jacket and high waisted pants, but I’m not seeing that trend last for the masses.

SUNGLASSES – THE ULTIMATE ACCESSORY

Sunglasses are the ultimate accessory. It’s an easy way to add style to your look without breaking the bank, and it’s often something that people keep with them at all times, much like their wallet, cell phone and keys.

I know many people who spend gobs on money on a pair of “name brand” shades. I however, will lose, break or scratch my sunglasses no matter how well I take care of them, how well they’re made, or who’s name is on them. I also prefer to have more options. And when you’re spending hundreds of dollars on a single pair for name brand shades, one cannot afford to have multiple shapes, colors and sizes to fit every style, occasion or outfit. So I prefer to go cheap and use the left over money to afford more options than just one.

BLACK BELT BLACK BOOT

There are some well known fashion advice that bares repeating – since not everyone knows. Whatever leather you’re wearing, needs to be the same throughout your outfit. Black shoe? Wear a black belt. Brown shoe? Wear a brown belt. Leather, wear leather. Cloth/canvas shoe, try a cloth belt.

As with any rule there are exceptions. But the exceptions in the case of shoe and belt are so rare that they’re barely worth mentioning. Still, I’ll give it a go.

THE KEYCHAIN

Like the wallet, the keychain is an every-day-carry. But is everything you’re carrying something you need everyday? I used to carry a key to everything I had locked up, in my pocket. It was loud, bulky, uncomfortable and most of the time unused. I switched to a carabiner out of necessity, but happened to love the freedom it offered my pockets. That feeling of freedom I wanted to explore. I started looking critically at the things I would keep on my keychain and came to the conclusion that the only things I needed on there, were the keys to my truck and the keys to my house.
