  • The Men's Style Guide To Patterned Suits
    By: Hendrik Pohl | - Modern men's fashion puts a great premium on the solid colored suit as a style staple in any male wardrobe. But the world of suiting goes far beyond the simplicity of the solid suit. Printed suits take the style stakes one notch higher, setting you apart from a crowd of navy, grays and blacks.

    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.

  • 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. You can look stylish even without a necktie, but a line on sloppiness must be drawn at a certain point.

    By: Hendrik Pohl | - Layering is a crucial skill for any fashion-conscious man, but it takes more than piling random pieces of outerwear over yourself.

  • Age-appropriate Men's Fashion: Shoes
    By: Hendrik Pohl | - Few things in men's fashion have evolved as much as the shoe department. When you look at the heeled, ornate men's shoes of the Victorian era, the minimalist Florsheims of today are almost unrecognizable from their predecessors. But some things, as they say, never change, and the high bar for respectable make footwear is one of those things.
