Men’s Spring Florals

Floral Crown

This is what happens when you forget to pick up your laundry from the cleaners. The back of the closet clothes come out and you end up in pajamas for the day… Not mad doe because I actually lovee these forever ago American Apparel purchases. Anyway, unimportant.

So like this floral crown business has been a big thang with lady bloggers and etsy betches for a while now. But what about us guyzzz? We wanna flirt with floral too! Here’s my version of a floral crown. A cute and flowery snapback. So cute the ladies might be borrowing it from the menz, which is totally fine as long as they give it back.  The same principle as the gal version just more suited for guys. It’s the perfect little floral adornment for your head and an excuse to not wash your hair because let’s face it, the pompadour needs a break every now and then.

How To: Pulling Off Preppy Style For Spring

Nantucket Prep

I was lucky enough to attend a special event last week with Details magazine for the reopening of the Tommy Hilfiger store in Soho, New York. The Tommy team was kind enough to outfit me for the evening in some great pieces from the designer’s latest Spring collection. Everything about my outfit had that classic American style that designer Tommy Hilfiger has been known for. When you think of spring “preppy,” you picture light sun faded colors, crisp whites, even some nautical hints, all in a sophisitcated yet simple execution.

Here’s some tips for pulling off this preppy look on your own. Start with a great pair of chinos in a light pastel color like a pale yellow or faded red for a worn-in New England feel. For a blazer, try something lightweight like an unstructured cotton blazer in a sun-washed blue like the one I’m wearing here. When it comes to your shirt, go for casual comfort. A nice tartan or madras pattern will help to break up the solid colors. As for shoes, a classic boat shoe or derby in a neutral shade will easily complete your look. And remember, the key to this style is classic yet relaxed sophistication so have fun and don’t over-think it!
