David Beckham Defining Style




We can give you a great haircut.  But that's only part of defining style..  David Beckham is the epitome of defining personal style.  And as we have said before it's all in the details.

R.I.P. Messenger Bags



Maybe it's a little strong to say that the messenger bag is dead.  They're still damned useful and many are, well, damned stylish too.  But are we still trying to cut that dashing look by jumping on the train with an overstuffed bag or worse by carrying two bags?  It doesn't say confidence.

A well crafted briefcase does.  It screams confidence because its shows your transparency.  You're serious.  You've got work to do.  And you carry your work and your tools in style.

Oh, and it says definitively that you're all grown up now.  All the major houses have them.  As always, opt for quality and go with leather.  Let the dudes on the floor below with the three series roll with the canvas.

10 Rules for Men's Business Casual Attire



Photo by Scott Barber

When the invitation reads business casual, you have an opportunity.  The chance to style up while not standing out.  The point is not so much to be noticed.  Rather to show that you have it together.  Quality always makes a statement especially when dressing down.

Rule 1:   Do not wear a suit and do not wear a suit jacket with casual pants.
Rule 2:   Wear a sportcoat.  You can always take it off once you arrive.  A gentleman always wear a jacket.
Rule 3:   In winter, wear a sweater, V-neck is perfect, and so is cashmere.
Rule 4:   No you can't wear jeans.
Rule 5:   Flat-front pants, no cuff. Anything by Scott Barber.
Rule 6:   Buy a shirt that fits and please, please, please tuck it in.
Rule 7:   No sneakers, sorry, invest in really good shoes.
Rule 8:   Wear a good belt.
Rule 9:   Detail with a scarf, leather bracelet, sports watch.
Rule:10  Contrast colors to add a bit of spark.

Remember, it's not about how you look.  It's about how you will be seen.  It speaks to confidence.  And if you want to really do it well call Scott Peterson at Players in Denver and he'll take care of you.  I promise

No more Isotoner. No more Isotoner. No more Isotoner


                                                                                                                                                                                        From those style hounds over at GQ Magazine and that great NYC shop Steven Alan (http://www.stevenalan.com/) we could not agree more.  Please ditch and re-gift those stretchy one size fits all things your dear grandmother got you.  Tell her the dog eat them. Tell her they were stolen. Tell her anything.  Just get these.  They look good.  They feel good.  And unlike dear old grandma they even smell good

Uhh.. Can we break?  I think it's time for lunch

Sometimes you just gotta look



We're all about men's hair but dang sometimes we get distracted.  Can you blame us?

Think Style then think coastal resorts
Stay cool, but set yourself apart by staying all together.
