Cropped Jeans + Boots

Really like this tough look on a man: cropped jeans & a pair of old boots .... to be honest I think it looks best with a pair of worn chukka boots (tough and classy).

This is a great online place to shop for a gift for your boyfriend or father, but to be honest ... I wouldn't mind getting it as well :)

Roll 'em up!

I really like this look on a guy: no socks (or if ensist on wearing them go for some coloured ones) and roll up those pants - doesn't matter if you wear jeans, cargo or chino's, sneakers or regular shoes! If the weather is nice show some leg, otherwise keep it a bit longer.

A man and his tattoo

Thing is, I really would like to have a tattoo - probably an entire sleeve, my right arm - but just not every day and I probably would want to change it every couple of weeks :) so I don't have one. But there is something about certain men and their tattoo... it can be so sexy...

Mr. Porter

About 2 weeks ago Mr Porter, it was the biggest launch ever of a men's luxury-goods online shopping website, opened it’s doors and it’s such cool shop & site! It’s the little brother of Net-a-Porter, but it does really stand on it’s own and is in no way just a copy.

I love the way they set up the promo campaign and how they are trying to reach their audience: Mr Porter uses profiles of men from real life, including a motorbike designer, a banker and a painter, wearing stylish clothes. They offer a limited number of brands (for instance Alexander McQueen and Balmain, traditional brands like Brooks Brothers and shoemaker John Lobb, and more casual sportswear, including J. Crew.) figuring that men prefer a quicker, more selective shopping experience. The site is relatively uncluttered, and will offer short videos with style tips.

"The Mr Porter customer is interested in wearing designer collections, 

but he is not necessarily interested in the silly side of fashion,".

Deliveries from Mr Porter will arrive lushly packaged in tissue paper and a box, all inside a trademark black-and-white paper bag. Mr Porter also invested in a handwriting font inspired by Francis Bacon's penmanship that will be used to put each customer's name on the packaging.

I really like the style icons section where they show you how to get that look, in a modern way, like for instance the ultimate mr. cool Steve McQueen.

Mr Steve McQueen

Mr Steve McQueen is a style icon regular. And, to avoid being predictable, we really did try to leave him out of this one. But it just felt wrong. Come on, the guy starred in the Great Escape, Bullitt and The Thomas Crown Affair, loved racing motorbikes, married Ali McGraw, and wore a chino and Persols like no one else.

Men's Fashion @ Pitti Uomo, Florence

In my opinion you can best spot the trends for men's fashion on the streets of Florence, during the Pitti Uomo. Ofcourse this is captured by all the streetstyle photographers, but as you know, I am a big fan of Tommy Ton. He is in Florence right now and for Style.com and GQ magazine he shot some great looking guys, these are my favorites.
