My Spring Must Haves to Stay Fly....
As the seasons change, so does our style and color schemes... Time to put away the Puffer Coats, Flapper Hats and Adirondacks Boots to make way for Light Weight Jackets, Bright Colors and Prints...The key to keeping your swag on a trillion throughout the season, is to have at least 5 essential items. These are things that are not only interchangeable but they are things that can make a statement all on their own… Here are my picks for spring....
Ok Ladies.....
#1-Red Blazer (Shown Below: Anne Klein: Rayon and Linen)
Can be worn with: Cotton tee or Chiffon Blouse; Jeans or a Pencil Skirt and for a timeless but Haute accent a Statement Necklace (Shown: Banana Republic: Ariel Braided Necklace) and Leopard shoes (Shown: Louboutins: Peep Toe)
#2-Statement Necklaces (Shown Below)
Can be worn with anything any time of the day, you can use it to dress up a cotton jersey dress or wear under the collar of a button up shirt to add a touch of feminity…
#3-Colored/ Printed Jeans
Colored Jeans (shown below), Can be color blocked ex. Royal Blue Jeans w/ a Red Blazer and Leopard Shoes (shown above)
Printed Jeans (shown below) Can be worn with a solid color that compliments the jean, a nude shoe or to make it more fashion forward you can also wear with other prints that have like colors
#4- Bright Colored Parker (Shown Below: London Parka by Jane Post) or Trench Coat( Burberry Prorsum Striped Raffin)The Parker and Trench Coat are classics, and can be worn year after year no matter what new trends submerge... For those days when it’s too cold to wear just a blazer and/or raining these will be your go to for outerwear....
#5- Leopard!!!!!!
Leopard to me is the new neutral color, Im obsessed with it... It can be worn in any style with any color!!! I love love love it and although there are some leopard items for men, I am not interested in seeing my man in it!! #justsaying

For the Gents
#1- Pre Washed Unconstructed Sports Jacket (Shown Below: Apolis in Stone)
Can be worn: Button up shirt and/or layered with a crew neck sweater (tie and pocket square optional); Jeans with Loafers (Shown below:Mr. Hare Fangio Gray Tasseled Loafer or Boomingdales colorful version), Tims or Fashion Sneakers (Shown below: Radii Wing Tips) and a conversation piece watch (Shown Below: WeWood Watch made of Recycled materials)
Can be worn: Button up shirt and/or layered with a crew neck sweater (tie and pocket square optional); Jeans with Loafers (Shown below:Mr. Hare Fangio Gray Tasseled Loafer or Boomingdales colorful version), Tims or Fashion Sneakers (Shown below: Radii Wing Tips) and a conversation piece watch (Shown Below: WeWood Watch made of Recycled materials)
#2- Mr. Nice Watch
I love a nice watch and everyone should have atleast one conversation piece like the one shown above (WeWood), LED Fashion watches, Unisex Fashion Watches OR Dumb Watches (shown below in a Variety of Colors)
#3- Fashion Sneakers
Dont get me wrong I love Foamposites, Air Max and Jordans but every once in a while I think a man should invest in a Fashion sneaker, you can dress them up or down, some can even be worn with a suit. For those men who dont do hard bottoms these are a good alternative... Lanvin, Dior, Radii and Moncler (shown below) make some really nice versions that can be worn with pretty much anything…
#4-Varsity Jacket
Varsity Jackets never go out of style to me they are a part of American style from sports to the streets but this season they are really big.... Louis Vuitton even came up with a refined version made of canvas and crocodile leather (shown Below), this should be worn more snug than the traditional but it can be dressed down with a nice Fashion sneaker and loosefit jeans or dressed up with a driving shoe (Shown Below- Salvatore Ferragamo Barbados Woven Driving Shoe in Brown) and a pair of tailored slacks…
When it comes to the traditional which are usually made of wool and leather, every brand from Hudson (shown below: Men’s Bulldog Varsity Jacket: sold in a variety of colors) to True Religion (shown below: Richie Varsity Jacket: sold in a variety of colors) have come up with their version…I personally love Varsity Jackets with bright colors and this season calls for color!.... My all time favorite colorful Varsity Jacket is the Nike x Parra collab circa 2009 (shown below: in Maroon), yes I know this is a tease to show but to me this is the epitome of a great Varsity Jacket. Designed with hand drawn characters (by Dutch artist Parra) and multiple embroideries this is a statement, nothing else needed!!! <3
#5 Sunglasses
Yes they protect our eyes from UV rays but that’s not why I wear them lol…. Sunglasses can make an outfit!!… White Tee, Jeans, some nice foot wear is ok but you put on a great pair of sunglasses and it goes from ok to simply smashing darling *British accent*…. In all seriousness there’s some sick eye wear for this season that can be taken into the summer season as well…. Here’s just a few that I like….
AM Cavalli
ARMANI AVIATOR
Ray Ban
Hope this will help you out on your trip to Cancun, Vegas, the next Big Event you’re invited, or just to profile for the ladies lol… ‘Til next time, Be Safe and Stay Fly!!!!
