Your Fall/Winter Checklist: Menswear

Hey guys!
Vuitton here giving you the rundown of what’s hot this winter for the fellas

Men Winter Fashion Must Haves

More often than not, guys don’t put much thought into their outfits during the colder months because let’s face it; we just want to be warm.  But winter attire can be just as creative as spring/summer wear.  Gear up with these options:

Jeans:

Tyrese Drake Jeans Men's Fashion Style

Drake and Tyrese take steps back from slim cut jeans and focus on a more straight, relaxed fit with a darker wash.  You don’t want to feel too constricted and washed out in an already drab season.  Get the look with these options:

Boots:

Pharrell Kanye West Boots

Aside from practicality, the right boot can pull together an entire look.  Take a gander at the ones below:

Puffer/Bubble Vests:

T.I. Jay-Z Men's Fashion Bubble Vests

Whatever you want to call them, down vests can make a chilly day just a little more comfortable for you.  Bonus: they can be worn over just about anything…from a long sleeve tee to a suit.  You can never go wrong with a black patent puffer vest, but if you think you can rock one with some color, choose one below:

And finally…Flannel Shirts

Ludacris Usher Flannel Fashion Men Style

Okay, flannel isn’t exactly a new trend, but layering a puff vest over a flannel shirt can create a fashionable look (without looking like you’re trying too hard).  Match a flannel with one of the vests above for a style that’s all you:

No excuse, fellas.  Amp up your swag this season.

Red Carpet Trend : Black Nailpolish

Black Nail Polish has long tread the line between goth and chic, but seems to have made a recent resurgence amongst some of pop’s foremost faces:

If you’re going for a rocker edge, let your nails chip a little like Fefe Dobson’s. Go for super sophisticated with unchipped nails, long or short, like Solange and Raven.

If you’re willing to give this trend a shot, do so with these affordable polishes:

Fashion Bombshells of the Day : Vanessa and Tearra from LA

Hey!
Today we have TWO Bombshells hailing from the West Coast, Vanessa and Tearra!

Vanessa Tearra Pinky Rose Boutique

Vanessa says, “I think my friend, Tearra, and I totally fit the mold for Fashion Bombshell of the Day. We work together on events and fashion all the time. Most recently, we did an event for Pinky Rose Boutique in Los Angeles, and it was fabulous! Check it out.

“…We like to incorporate our own personal style into our wardrobe. Tearra is more edgy and uses a lot of Rihanna’s style as inspiration. I like to take a more feminine approach, and use some of Beyonce’s style as my focus.

Tearra Vaness The Fashion Bomb

“…I hope you guys like our style! Thanks :)”

We sure do! And you guys might recognize Vanessa and Tearra from the Fashion Bomb’s LA Meet & Greet. They were AWESOME and coordinated a warm welcome and fashion show for us in the City of Angels. View our Vintage Post here, and tell us: What do you think of their style?

Who Wore it Better? Letoya Luckett vs. Dania Ramirez in Herve Leger

Although we stuck a fork in the Herve Leger trend back in 2008, it seems fashionistas are still running to Leger’s atelier for his skin skimming, positively flattering frocks. Dania Ramirez attended the premiere of the movie “2012” in a yellow number with blush inserts, while Letoya Luckett went for more traditional gray at the 2009 Soul Train Awards:

Both ladies love Leger, but who wore it better?
