“You know you’ve spotted a fashion victim when you notice what a man is wearing – those metallic patchwork high-tops, the skinny-fit women’s jeans – before you notice the man himself.” Sound advice from Details.
Wednesday through Friday, London men’s wear magnate Ted Baker will host a sample sale featuring cashmere sweaters for $175, and suits for as little as $400.
Ted Baker sale – 215 Park Ave between 17th and 18th – 20th fl – Wed, Thurs 11am-7pm, Fri 9:30am-2pm – Map
These days, everyone’s turning out recession-ready shopping advice. Everyone. But, we’re still surprised to see Will of A Suitable Wardrobe adding his two cents. This is a style consultant who advises some of his clients to budget $25K a year. On clothes.
His advice? Invest in fully accessorizing one suit color — with matching ties, shirts, shoes, etc. — before investing in other suit colors. Simply because ties cost less than suits, this method minimizes cost while maximizing variety.
This report from Steven Alan‘s L.A. sample sale has us all excited for the main event soon to hit Tribeca. Hands down, our Steve Alan shirts remain the most valuable, handiest, trustiest clothes in our closets. Forget the dry cleaners. Throw ’em in the wash again and again, or hardly wash them at all — they always fit and feel just right. Stay tuned for the exact dates and times of the NYC sale.
If you’re looking for some expert and forward-thinking style direction, our friends at h(y)r collective have dropped their 7th issue. Lucky number 7! Bravo, fellas!
