Man's World Monday: Summer Trend

For many Men, fashion is the last thing on the mind.  Save for the few that are meticulous about what they wear and how they look.  The Spring/Summer Gucci ’11 collection debuted a strong image of a combined use of neutral and achromatic colors to comprise its Spring/Summer Runway show for 2011.  A strong piece that was represented was the blazer.  I pick one of the most iconic pieces for a man, only because a great blazer can have so many uses in the day to day life of a man.

            If you’re not required to wear a suit to work, (the difference between a suit jacket and a blazer, is that a blazer is its own piece.  A suit jacket is cut from the same bolt of fabric as the slacks and vest it came with) then a blazer, dark denim, nice vest and bold tie can leave a lasting impression on most.
            If you’re going to a lunch date, or business meeting, the blazer can be utilized as an accent piece to create a more formal atmosphere.  A black blazer, sleeves pulled up, with dark denim and a bold colored dress shirt or even V-neck can give you an extra edge on impressing a potential client, or girlfriend.  For a casual look, and for the daring man, it can be paired with a European style short.
            If you’re heading out for a night on the town, wearing a blazer over your favorite dress shirt (2 open buttons MAX), a pair of fitted slacks or denim and your favorite watch, not only gives the impression that you have style, but shows a girl that you pay attention to detail.
