The Gucci Inspired Modern Suit
It’s hard to talk about fashion trends these days without mentioning a recent Gucci influence somewhere in there and when it comes to suiting the conversation is no different. Every collection Alessandro Michele has shown so far at Gucci has included matched suiting, be it a cropped boyish suit, a true menswear suit or a cropped short suit. The colors and fabrics vary as well in the Gucci suit, from an embroidered solid white to a rich green brocade.

2 Ways to Wear A Pajama Style Suit
If you want to isolate of the most dominant trends of 2017 so far it would have to be the matching suit.

We had to walk for quite a bit prior to getting there so the planned outfit was practical with a touch of whimsy: Sneakers, a pair of culottes and of course the fun bit: a cropped bow top over a…

3 New Ways to Wear Your Bomber Jacket for 2017
Every so often there is a trend in the fashion world that becomes SO popular that we actually start getting sick of it. Last year’s IT-item, the bomber jacket is a perfect example of this phenomenon. The bomber jacket grew to popularity overnight and it quickly morphed overnight to be in every store you could find. Patches on your bomber became the next hot thing, then printed bombers and finally oversized printed bombers (perhaps with some patches.) The craze was EVERYWHERE and if you are like me that meant that you ended up with 8 varying types of bomber jackets in your closet by the end of 2016. Fast forward…
