Boots

Shoes

There's a great collection of 25 Cool Print Ads For Major Shoe Brands up at Best Design Options. I'm loving these Nike and Converse campaigns…

Suits You

I'm quite liking this shoot with Dev Patel in the latest US issue of GQ. They sure do know how to shoot fashion...

Boots

Spotted these boots at Fashion Indie. They are colourful, they are expensive and they are Nike's idea of what Wellington boots should look like.

Prom

One of my favourite style haunts is New York magazine's Look Book, where they showcase an ordinary person who has... y'know... a look. A look that you might, if you enjoyed that sort of thing, wish to duplicate/replicate/copycate.



They've got a special edition Look Book up right now, where they're showcasing teens at their senior prom. Some great outfits here – and some gorgeous gowns and dresses.

Sunnies

They're hideously overpriced, and they look like the cheap plastic ones you (probably shouldn't) buy from those dodgy traders down at the station... but if - like me - you're a sucker for funky sunglasses, then the Electric Hoodlum Acetate Color Series is sure to get you thinkin'.

Faded

Acne's bleached trainers are either a thing of beauty and a joy to behold, or a style-challenged eyesore that should never darken your lovely feet. I'm leaning towards "thing of beauty"...

K

You can keep the trousers, Nicholas K, but I'll take the shirts for sure. I love this new collection: it's the exact right mix of outdoors and indoors, and you don't get many clothes more effortlessly masculine than this.

(Good grief. Did I really just say "effortlessly masculine"?)

Signs

Now that's how you make a fashion statement.

Beards

Beards (like flares) are coming back... and to celebrate this hairy happening, Slate are running a gallery of photos of dudes with beards, harvested from the Magnum archives.

Flares

Flares are back! Flares are back! Oh, happy day! For too long we (by which I mean "not me, possibly you", by which I mean "people who wear skinny jeans") have suffered the indignity and discomfort of trying to pass our feet through the narrowest of pants legs.

No longer.

New York magazine has noticed that designers are calling an end to all the tight-ankled silliness, and Style.com have the full story and slideshow.

Skin Deep

Perfect timing, Indexed. This is the first thing I saw after filing a skincare story for Men's Health.

Wingtip

The simpler, the better. It's not always true (particularly when it comes to mystery novel plots or the intelligence levels of people you have to work with), but it definitely works in the Vans California Collection's Era Wingtip.



A more beautiful shoe you're unlikely to find.

Fashion

New York, London, Milan, LA, Tokyo... It's fashion week season, and, as you'd expect, the shutterbugs at The Big Picture have a gallery up. Gotta love the shot of the pizza girl...



... and the Instructions For Ambiturners.



Beautiful.

McQueen

There's a gorgeous retrospective of the work of late fashion designer Alexander McQueen up at New York magazine.

As the magazine says, his stuff wasn't always wearable, but it was always beautiful.

September

Watched The September Issue last night... and loved every minute of it. The general consensus is that Grace Coddington steals the show. Her interview with Vogue unintentionally backs that up.

My Adidas

The name adidas is, as you well know, an acronym for All Day I Dream About Sneakers. Or that's what they're trying to convince us with their new marketing campaign. The images from the campaign are pretty amazing - and I reckon I could really use the Luftsack pair when I'm strap-hanging in a crowded train.

Wearing

This month's US GQ (you know, the only one that's worth reading) has a great little fashion/style/service piece about The Seven Style Mistakes Every Man Makes. It's pretty much on the button - and what I like about it is that they don't just tell you what you're doing wrong (yes, I'm talking to you, Mister Mom Jeans)... they also tell you how to do it right.

That's proper service journalism - and that's why I read the US GQ.
