I can’t get enough of this grey leather jacket by All Saints. This is quite possibly one of the coolest of the coolest leather jackets ever. It’s called the Knife Bomber jacket, which is quite possibly the coolest name for anything ever. I love the entire vintage feel this jacket gives off as well. I love the dual storm flaps, yoke panel, and shoulder epaulettes. I mean take a look at this thing, I feel like I should be solving grisly murders in 1970′s London. Or at the least driving the van in the A-Team. This is a great look if you are into riding motorcycles or just looking like a bad ass.

The Knife Bomber is a fantastic jacket and is done in a great style. The jacket retails for around $321.00( or 225 euros).

Look we love Pajamas as the next guy. They look great. They keep us warm. They hold our essentials when lounging around the house.

But, lets be honest here (we’re all friends), they are worse to sleep with than Sarah Jessica Parker. They bunch up on your legs. They overheat. They shift. We’ve been ditching them for a tank top and boxer-briefs for years. Until Now

Introducing, the pajama shorts. They work just as good at keeping our body warm without overheating, they store your valuables, and best of all, you can actually sleep with them. We personally wear black ones from Perry Ellis but any cotton drawstring shorts will work. Think of them as the linen pants of the couch surfer. Pair them with your favorite pair of flippy floppies, and you are once again king of your castle.

Oh and make sure you empty your pockets before bed time.

I really enjoy wearing sweaters, they are just such a versatile piece of clothing to have in one’s wardrobe. You might be thinking that sweaters are a strictly autumn/fall choice, but follow the right rules in wearing sweaters and they become seasonless; namely you wear woolens in the winter and cotton in the summer. Cashmere, though, can be worn year-round, just one of the many factors that make this fabric choice supreme. Cashmere is a wool fiber obtained from domestic Cashmere goats. It is strong, light, very soft to the touch, and fine in texture. Cashmere can provide maximum worth for minimum bulk, which is always a plus, especially when you consider that cashmere can get on the pricey side. That being said, the quality of the product is definitely worth the price. You can literally feel the difference between the quality of cashmere wool and and the runner-ups.

A good cashmere sweater is a great way to make a statement at a whole plethora of places. You can wear at the office over a button down shirt and some slacks, hell you can use that same ensemble on a date. You can put over a tee and some jeans if you are going someplace casual and want to stand out but not in a douchy I-wear-blazers-all-the-time way. You can get a v-neck and use it to set off a shirt underneath, if you are one of those guys that likes to layer their clothing all the time. I prefer solid color sweaters and like to keep the colors dark and neutral. Black, like the Burberry pull-over pictured above, is a great choice for someone who has never owned a cashmere since you can match it with more colors and get more bang for your buck. Please, I beg of you, don’t get some gaudy paisley-monster sweater, or worse, this black and white gucci nightmare.

These shorts are exactly the type of shorts that should be worn at the beach. This particular pair is a pink seersucker swimshort by Paul Smith. These pink and white shorts have an elasticated drawstring waist band and two front pockets with one back zip fasten pocket. These shorts also have mesh lining, which I’ve never really understood the purpose for, but more is good I guess. The shorts are 55% polyester, 45% cotton lining 100% polyester. They are, of course, machine washable.
To be honest, I usually almost never think pink. Which is to say, that yeah sometimes pink is an option for me, rare that occasion may be. These shorts though, they make the magic happen. The simplicity of these shorts is what makes them so perfect. Board shorts can be tricky, with something that looks good in the shop looking completely different when it’s wet. I have a particular hatred for gaudy board shorts, the same hatred I have for gaudy Hawaiian Shirts. The subtle colors and design of these shorts really make it manageable, equally pleasing in both the day and night. The colors are also neutral enough to set off any shade of skin color. Get em, wet em, and then tell me if they don’t make the grade.
