What are we spending way too much time thinking about this month? Apple’s iPad! ($499): Because it’s going to change the way we commute, or at least change the way we entertain ourselves while we are forced to commute. 10″ Linen Pocket Round by Alexander Olch ($45): Like a pocket square, but less square.

We’re expecting the MAJOR STORMS in L.A. this week, which means a rare opportunity to put on some outerwear and dig a few choice accessories out of the closet. Never mind that MAJOR STORMS only means LIGHT DRIZZLE, we’re just excited for the change in weather. The trench and umbrella are obvious choices, [...] Every so often we snap out of our money=style mindset and can see the world through more objective eyes. There are tons of stylish options on the market that don’t make us choose between a little bit of luxury and food, and we especially love the Peasants & Travelers brand for bringing affordable style to [...] For being confined to a country with such terrible weather, the English have an almost unnatural love affair with motorcycles. But out of the rain-soaked nightmare that are the English midlands arose the need for truly badass protective gear to keep the motorcyclists motorcycling. Belstaff has been making just such performance gear for bike enthusiasts [...] Break out of your usual weekend shoe routine by mixing in a pair of bold statement sneaks every so often. It’s easier to pull off than you might think. Rule 1: Chose the shoes wisely. Nothing you might actually run a marathon in. Rule 2: Keep everything else understated and conservative. Keep the jeans trim [...] Because even Los Angeles has a rainy season — granted it lasts for about a week and a half and only drizzles enough to make people forget how to drive — but getting caught out in the elements unprepared looks foolish anywhere. Time to ditch the ratty black eye poking machine that gets turned inside-out [...]
Solid, understated ties are an easy pairing for most shirt and suit combinations, and what these ties lack in color, they more than make up for with texture and style. Solids don’t tend to follow the same waves of trendiness as stripes, polka dots, paisleys, or prints, so these ties will look on-point [...] Dress shoe burnout — it is bound to happen to all of us at one point or another. Man can only alternate between black and dark brown cap-toe oxfords for so long. The occasional pair of Chuck Taylors might add some much needed relief, but that’s more of a style Aspirin than a cure for [...]
The shot hit most often by the Style Not Fashion golf team is the massive slice into the woods. Practice hasn’t seemed to help straighten out our drives, so our collective efforts are probably better spent in trying to make these golf outings more stylish affairs. The best way to make even the [...]
For all of the convenience digital music has provided modern man, sound quality seems to have been a secondary consideration. We love the iPod for allowing us to keep 40,000 songs in our pocket, but even with the best dock or speaker system, highly compressed audio leaves much to be desired. Sometimes we [...] |
