I am loving the soft, feminine look that Louis Vuitton took with their Spring/Summer line this year. All the pastels and off whites are getting me excited for summer!
I was in Zara the other day and noticed the entire store looked like it was inspired by the newest Louis Vuitton collection. I saw a ton of silks, florals and crocheted fabrics in beautiful pastels. Unfortunately you cannot purchase with Zara online, but step into your nearest location when you get a chance, it’s worth checking out! Below are a few of my favorites:
Dress $99.90
Blouse $59.90
Blouse $59.90
Skirt $79.90
Dress $99.90
Trousers $79.90
Dress $99.90
Shoes $89.90 (These shoes are almost an exact replica of the LV ones!)
…I don’t know what it is, but if you’ve seen the silent film The Artist, you will know what I am talking about. There is a certain charisma that French actor Jean Dujardin exudes off the screen. Something that not just any actor could pull off without speaking!
When I stumbled across these photos in this months GQ I had to share with you! Jean Dujardin to me seems like a more charming, dashing version of Jon Hamm. Maybe it’s the accent? Check out this great quote from his GQ interview; “I learned to tap-dance for The Artist. I love dancing in general, and making girls dance. My generation doesn’t do it enough.” YES! All men take note.
Enjoy the fashion in this photo spread. Lots of stylish plaid suits to come for spring/summer.
Notice, no socks? If you are wearing a light summer suit it is essential that you do not wear any socks! Which means you’d better be wearing some nicely kept leather loafers!
Plaid shirt with a plaid suit. This works because of the ratio the shirt to the suit. The shirt has more of a bold larger check, and the suit is subtle. The pocket square keeps it nice and classy, despite the lack of tie.
This is a bold look, you’d have to be very confidant to pull this one off! Reminds me of 1970′s James Bond. If you want to try this, avoid over referencing the 70′s by keeping your shoes modern and your lapel and shirt collar narrow.
Every guy should try this look. It’s a classic, and one of my personal favorites. You could wear this with dark jeans for a semi-casual look or wear the full suit to a wedding, without overdoing it. Notice the pocket square? I’m sensing the pocket square is the new tie.
If you haven’t seen it yet, here is the trailer for The Artist. (I recommend checking it out before The Oscar’s on Feb 26th, because its sure to win)
