Trend Alert: The Boyfriend Hat

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:00:22 -0700

We're going to borrow another one from the boys. Menswear is no new trend, but boyfriend jeans, blazers, and boyfriend shirts have had their run. Ever notice how men have such wonderful hat options? Liv has. She wore this incognito navy hat whilst frolicking with her son, Milo, in NYC. Clearly, it was windy, but that much more picturesque. She tied her whole navy look together with it. Bad hair days begone thanks to the boyfriend hat.

2010 Spring: J.Crew

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:30:22 -0700

A kid in a candy store. J.Crew recently presented its Spring confections and I'm salivating already. Jenna Lyons played upon the usual frilly vs. preppy aesthetic, with loads of neutrals and pops of neon. Khaki outerwear atop sequins and cargo shorts are meshed with girlie stripes and soft plaids. Styling is exaggerated - I don't mind, better to inspire. Who else can pull off camo and ruffles? Sandals range from preppy to exotic, and jewelry plays a pretty role. J.Crew even tries its hand at the pantless trend, successfully. Hats and cross-body bags complete the disheveled-chic aesthetic.

Fab Ad: Tom Ford Eyewear Fall '09

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Last Fall, Tom Ford showed his shades via a dolled-up Liliana Dominguez and fried chicken. This Fall, Ford brought it back to the basics. Nude basics. Tom did the shooting this time and brought in nakie exotic blond Anna Maria Jagodzinska and favorite male model Jon Kortajarena. “I have taken pictures for years, but recently have become more serious about it and have started shooting portraits,” said Ford. Tom has also been busy wrapping up his film A Single Man, debuting at the Venice Film Festival Sept. 11. But back to the basics - can you focus on the stylish optics or are the svelte bodies too distracting? (NSFW)

Teen Choice Awards: Chace Crawford

FabSugar — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:37:59 -0700

Why, hello there Mr. Crawford. The gossip boy looks beyond dapper in a pair of slacks, button-up shirt, and tailored vest. Take note of how the young style prodigy chose varying shades of gray to mix up his monochrome look. Brown suede shoes, red watch, and mischievous grin is all he needs to shine.

Quiksilver's Quick Fix

FabSugar — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Always at the forefront of all things fresh, Quiksilver has teamed up with The Standard hotels to make co-branded men’s and women’s swimsuits to be distributed via vending machines poolside at the hotel's four properties and online at ShoptheStandard.com.

Joshua Katz, director of marketing and communications at Quiksilver Inc., explains, “This is a 24-hour customer, and a lot of times they might not have a swimsuit but want to take a late-night swim, after the hotel’s boutique is closed.”

For added flavor, each design has a "Quik City Guide" on the inside waistband, with addresses of local places of interest. The vending machines will also dispense zines and $10 works of art from local artists. Four men's retro-inspired men's styles will be available as well as a classic black string bikini for the ladies. Step right up.

Diane Kruger Bow Tied and Suspendered: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

One time, I tried wearing a bow tie and suspenders and ended up looking more like a waiter than a fashionista. Boo. At the Inglourious Basterds premiere in Australia, Diane Kruger stepped out wearing a Chanel ensemble, consisting of a sleeveless white shirt, dotted bow-tie, black suspenders, and black tapered trousers. I'm semienvious she has the confidence to wear not one but two men's pieces on the red carpet. No matter what Diane is wearing up top, she always wears feminine footwear, this time Christian Louboutin Mary Janes. Do you approve of this androgyny, or is it too literal for your taste?

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:00:22 -0700

Hello, thighs of steel. Milan Men's Fashion Week is still going strong and I'm continuing the fashionable manjoyment with incredible looks from D&G, John Varvatos, Prada, and Moschino, to name a few. Shorts are back in full force along with slim, tailored suits - so svelte and sexy. The occasional pop of color and prints also caught my attention and how cool are Moschino's mud splattered pants?

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 14:00:22 -0700

The Milan catwalks are on fire right now. Why? Because it's Milan Menswear Spring/Summer '10 Fashion Week. The warmer season brings more skin and some designers made sure to strip their male models down. Madonna's boyfriend Jesus Luz even made a cameo, in his undies. Gucci (left) took the sleek light-hue approach. Other designers like Ferragamo opted to dress their models in stylish lightweight suits and scarves, while some did cool denim ensembles. Don't keep these hot boys waiting any longer, go check them out!

Shirts His Way

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 04:50:00 -0700

Want to know what Brian Sugar got himself for Father's Day? The proud papa scored himself some custom dress shirts via ShirtsMyWay. This site, very masculine and tough, takes you through the steps of creating your own dress shirts.
He can pretend he's in a video game all the while picking out fabrics, short or long sleeves, collars, cuffs, pockets, plackets (didn't even know what these were), yokes, buttons - pretty much everything and anything shirt-related. Then he enters his measurements and $75 later he has a custom-made dress shirt. It seems a bit laborious to enter all the info but they save it all organized for you. Plus, free shipping worldwide. Father's Day is next Sunday, design him some swanky shirts or get him a gift certificate. There's currently a special - buy any two shirts, get one free. Wheee . . .
