“Classically Effortless” ft. Chad Park and B&Tailor

Posted on January 11, 2016 by Ethan

Suits have a bad rap. Menswear bloggers today are dedicated to making suits and formal wear look as casual as possible. For example, Dan Trepanier has an article on wearing Henley’s with your suit and HVRMINN wears Nike’s with his sharp DB’s. It seems that the suit (and its traditional accoutrements) has not shaken its pariah status among the masses. Don’t get me wrong; I’m all about dressing down a suit, but I’m still a standing fan of the classic suit worn. To my knowledge, there’s only a few men that can make wearing a suit look natural and easy, and I have the pleasure of featuring one of those masters. I present Chad Park from B&Tailor.

On this second day of NOLA, I was able to experience the full force of the humidity whilst perusing a graveyard and getting some delish’ po’boys.

This holiday I was blessed to have an opportunity to take a vacation down South to New Orleans! I know this is a fashion blog, but I thought it would be cool to change it up and add some of my own experiences into the site’s content!

Everyone loves a great Christmas sweater. They’re festive, colorful, and instantly adds fun to any Holiday party. Now, not many guys have one (or want to), so we’re going to look at a few outfits from the regulars at Street x Sprezza and see how they use both traditional Christmas patterns and normal sweaters to create an outfit for those upcoming Holiday parties!

Tweed is Perfect for Fall

Posted on November 30, 2015 by Ethan

There’s nothing more fall than tweed! This past weekend, I was able to enjoy not only a dinner with my family but with my friends. My outfit for the family party was casual, but I was able to break out the old tweed suit for a dinner party hosted by my pals, Spencer and Jay. Us three got into the spirit of fall by wearing some dope tweed outfits! We’ve got all three variations of tweed in here: herringbone, fleck, and glen plaid! Check them out.

Branding Yourself at Meet the Firms

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Ethan

Every year, La Sierra University hosts a Meet the Firms Night, an event where business and students get to interact and develop their networks. Unfortunately, people come to the event wearing the most basic corporate attire, students and businesses included. However, there were some individuals who stood out to me among the sea of boring black suits. Kudos to these guys for being able to look stylish and professional, as they handed out resumes for potential jobs or advertised their business to the people in attendance.

Vintage Pants are Not Baggy

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Ethan

Every time I talk about fashion with someone, vintage clothes always come up. One of the questions I’m always asked is “Why do you wear such baggy pants?” People always assume that vintage trousers are baggy because they’re thinking of the zoot suit, which was popularized by cultural phenomena. This is simply not the case.
