Brown Suit X Alfani Red

The brown suit has become a sought after staple item in the world of menswear as of late, with virtually everyone showcasing their personal interpretation of the brown duds; and with Fall approaching, I can’t think of a better time to start hunting for your staple brown suit.

This quest for the perfect suit led us to browsing the web for different but AFFORDABLE suits we could purchase this coming season. From first glance many suits seemed to fit the quota, but one that stood out in particular to us was this ALFANI Red Slim Fit Suit. Available at Macys, this suit encompasses virtually everything we were looking for.

What we appreciate the most about the suit is that it’s a slim fit, but it doesn’t fit TOO tight, which makes it perfect to wear to work. The brown is also a perfect color for the upcoming change of season, prompting us to already have gazillions of tie & pocket square combinations for this baby. Made of wool interior and a viscose/polyester exterior, we can already imagine that this suit feels as good as it looks!

Our favorite part of the suit is the jacket which has a notch lapel and a chest pocket perfect for an array of pocket squares / circles. You can purchase the jacket and pants separately, or you can purchase them both at the same time. We definitely recommend doing so now. seeing as BOTH items are on sale. You can also check out more suits from ALFANI RED, here, here , and here. Thank us later :)

Two cheers for affordable menswear!

Cole Haan x Air Franklin Saddle Lace Up’s

If it wasn’t visible through the recent postings to D&D, I’ve currently fallen in love with the visionary that is Cole Haan, even having dubbed the brand my Summer Love. It is my honest opinion that he makes the most perfect wingtips and oxfords and that every fashionisto (and fashionista) should own a pair of his fancy footwork.

While browsing the inter-web, I recently stumbled upon these Cole Haan Air Franklin Saddle Lace Up Shoes available at Macys for a bargain price of 98$. I am in love, deep over-the-moon-and-back-down-to-earth love with these shoes. They’re available in a Bourbon Brown with accents of Ocean blue. The front has a cap-toe with a brogue trim adding even more detail to the shoe.

Personally, I think the shoe would have been wonderful with just the shade of brown, but the addition of the blue area & laces makes the shoe that much more special. My favorite aspect of these shoes, is the baby-blue sole. It’s all about the accents, and accents never hurt. There is actually an inverse version of the shoes where the Bourbon Brown is the accent and the Ocean Blue covers the majority of the shoe, this version is equally as wonderful.

I strongly advise you guys to check out the shoes and pick up a pair while they’re at this bargain price.
