There are 2 types of people in the world. Hat people and non-hat people. I typically fall on the latter. (1) They give me a headache after a solid 45 minutes (2) Wearing them to work is a weird grey area (3) When I see a bad hat, I am struck with the sudden urge to get in the fetal position and cover my eyes. Why? Because your fedora belongs in one place. The trash can.
Sleeves are having a moment. But here is the thing, they have been having a moment for like 5 freaking years. Calling statement sleeves a trend is the understatement of the decade. They have become a wardrobe staple, sitting alongside power players such as the trench coat and white tee.

One of the cardinal rules from my time of styling for Nordstrom was, “The 3rd Piece.” Each look needed to be completed with strong layering.

Save a horse, ride the cowboy trend. If there was one take away from the 2018 rodeo, I mean runway, it was western wear. I’m sure you have mastered prairie dresses, the Texas Tux, and fringe…everything by now, but the final frontier? The cowboy boot.
Polka dots are like cilantro. You either love it, or you hate it. There is no in between. Visions of Minnie Mouse, kitschy throwbacks, and itsy bitsy yellow polka dot bikinis have skewed the classic print into a category labeled: unwearable. However, after this season’s runway, I find myself taking a double take at the dots.
I get it. You’re dad’s not a regular dad, he’s a cool dad. Somehow he came out of parenthood unscathed by wrangler jeans, chunky white new balances, and Hawaiian prints. Let’s reward such behavior for the man who is dad to the bone. Here are 15 picks for every type of guy in your life.
Release the pool floats, crack open the windows, and schedule a pedicure – it’s officially summer. Well, maybe not officially, but Memorial Day Weekend signifies what’s in store. If you are anything like me, you literally had not thought about summer attire until you had nothing to wear to this past weekend’s BBQ. So, to prevent future blank stares into the black hole of our closets, I am devoting this post to summer weekending.
It’s official, you’ve been punked. Thought your 90s fashion decisions were buried in dusty yearbooks or your mom’s box of Kodak prints? Get ready for a full-blown grunge revival.
