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 [...]

Typically the editors at SNF frown at anything that could be considered “performance gear”. Too often we men equate casual with sporty and feel compelled to wear running shoes and ultra-wicking nano fabrics in the name of casual comfort. This strikes us as self-conflicting and a little bit tacky, [...] Female, Los Angeles, 28 All my life, I’ve had the pleasure of enchanting men who are eternally in casual clothing: engineers, graphic designers, grad students, and once – a wannabe rapper. Clearly, my charm doesn’t work on William Morris agents, investment bankers, or anyone with considerable assets. I suppose I’m okay with this. But what I’m not okay with — is men who think that dressing casually means dressing carelessly in whatever is most worn-in and within reach of his bed in the morning. So, in order to aid those hard working handsome boys in dressing well enough to get a girl like me – I’d like to provide my list of 10 casual essentials: Jackets are handy. The pockets are useful for holding press passes, notebooks, pens, and our cigarettes. They are also good lighter weight options for keeping warm in the fall when a full-blown coat would be overkill. The medium weight brown jacket is an anywhere-anytime way to spice-up and fancy-up a pair of jeans, but without the excess of pretension that accompanies a lot of jeans/blazer pairings. And even if u cant really spell werds rite or use commas and grammar and shit correct ur jacket will make it looks like you do; It’s that time of year where temperatures are warranting some type of coat but not necessarily your full blown winter outerwear. Here are our top picks for fall coats, perfect for transitioning stylishly into fall temps — this year and for years to come. Many punches have been thrown in the 2-Button vs. 3-Button jacket debate, and while there will probably never be a clear winner, we would like to throw our weight behind the 2-button camp. Our argument emphasizes the visual lines created by the cut of the jacket instead of any stylistic of fashionisitic differences. Sticking to classic, flattering lines is always appropriate, and the deeper V created by the 2-button cut beats the boxy 3-button any day. And in honor of football season, we’re using telestrator technology to teach. |
