    By: Hendrik Pohl | - In men's fashion lingo, 'suits' almost automatically summons images of blacks, grays and navies in a sea of neckties and briefcases. But in this mixed-up world of high fashion tee shirts and designer duds at Target, something had to give in at the suit section too.

  • Modern Mens Style: Sloppy Joes
    By: Hendrik Pohl | - Deconstruction is a very common practice in art, and in fashion as well; the familiar must sometimes be broken down to discover the beauty of its parts. This, however, presents a conundrum for the world of men's fashion. The pride of a put together man comes from immaculately tailored suits and bespoke shoes, not from beat up clothing.

  • The Men's Guide To Vests
    By: Hendrik Pohl | - In modern men's fashion, vests are practically vestigial to a lot of guys.
