WHERE TO FIND AFFORDABLE MEN'S JEANS
STICK WITH THE BRAND THAT MAKES JEANS THAT FIT YOU. ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A PAIR OF QUALITY JEANS WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK? IN THIS ARTICLE I WILL DISCUSS WHY YOU SHOULD STRONGLY CONSIDER PURCHASING YOUR JEANS FROM TOPMAN. THEY NOT ONLY OFFER AFFORDABLE PRICES ON THEIR JEANS, BUT THEIR...
I can't tell you how many times I've had my heart broken by a pair of jeans. Have you ever purchased a pair of jeans online because they looked great but when you got them, they were all but that? Yup, that was me time, after time. I wised up quickly because my bank account depended on it. Since I am very particular about my jeans, a certain criteria has to be met. They must be high quality, affordable, fit well, and stylish. If you share the same sentiment then you've come to the right place!
I've found a company that checks each of those boxes.
Topman offers jeans that are affordable, fit well, and uniquely styled. Being a slim guy, I typically go for slim jeans or skinnies because they seem to do my stick legs justice! Topman puts their jeans through rigorous individual wearer trials to ensure they produce the best pair of jeans.
With denim jean prices starting at $40, you can't go wrong. You'll be doing your pockets a huge favor.
The waist sizes range from 26-38, and are made from authentic, rigid denim with stretch technology to ensure they comfortably hold their shape. That's a big deal because you want your jeans to hold shape, especially if you plan on owning them for a long time.
Each of these factors make Topman THE destination for denim. They offer a little something for everyone, so you won't have any issues finding a pair that works for you. Again, with the price point of these jeans, its hard to look elsewhere!
Cheers to your denim journey!

HOW TO WEAR A MILITARY JACKET
DO YOU HAVE CLOTHES THAT ARE JUST SITTING IN YOUR CLOSET WAITING TO BE WORN? I HAVE THIS MILITARY JACKET THAT HAS JUST BEEN SITTING AROUND. IN THIS ARTICLE I WILL GIVE YOU TIPS ON HOW TO STYLE A MILITARY JACKET.
What's up y'all?! Do you have clothes in your closet that you've never worn or only worn once and forgot about it? Well, that's me every. single. day. I used to buy clothing non-stop until wifey put her foot down (lol). I guess I took the shopping thing a little too far *evil grin*. Anyway, lets get back to the topic at hand, styling a military jacket. I purchased this military jacket from J.Crew a couple years back and haven't quite put it to use the way I should have, so I decided that I would bring it back to life.
I could have easily just decided to where a pair of dark denim and a brown boot, but thats not the way this outfit is going down today. I mean, why be basic when you can stand out? I am going to break down the components of this look in hopes that you'll be inspired to grab that military jacket you had sitting around and wear it like a suit of armor.
Purple and green often pair well together, so I grabbed my purple ripped jeans from asos and got to work. I had a DIY project on my hands because the pants were super long, but I am glad I did because the purple jeans add the right pop of color to the outfit.
When selecting my shirt, I had to channel my inner Bill Belichick and go with an oversized pullover tee shirt. I chose charcoal grey to break up the green a purple tones; pulling the look together in a cohesive way.
I decided to give my lace up boots a break and picked up a pair of light grey chelsea boots. The pastel purple really compliments the grey, in my opinion. Lets take a moment to recognize the nice touch the pop of brown provided to this look, too.
Not only does the outfit make me feel great but it fits well too!
I can't wait to see you all bring your military jacket back to life! Tag me in your creations!
Stay Fresh!

WHAT TO WEAR TO MAINE
ARE YOU WONDERING WHAT YOU SHOULD WEAR WHEN TRAVELING TO MAINE THIS WINTER? IF SO, THIS ARTICLE WILL GIVE YOU TIPS ON HOW TO STYLE YOURSELF DURING YOUR STAY IN MAINE.
Traveling is important to me so I set a personal goal to visit all 50 states before it's all said and done. As I was preparing for my first trip to Maine, all I could think about was cold winters, an abundance of green landscape, fishing boats, and (of course) what I was going to wear.
Once I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by the weather. Don't get me wrong, it was cold but not nearly as brutal as I expected.
This look is what I call the modern day lumberjack man. The pieces from this outfit fit slimmer than your traditional lumberjack outfit. The red checkered flannel shirt, that we have grown to know, got the boot and this bright teal flannel took its place. There are a few subtle touches that help complete this look, such as the marled grey turtleneck sweater, navy quilted puffer vest, and charcoal grey beanie cap.
You'll definitely want to wear boots if you're visiting during late winter because it will be icy. Luckily, I didn't fall once. (The boots in the image above are "The Viking Boots" by Taft)
Opting for a pair of dark denim or black ripped jeans will allow the bright flannel shirt to really shine and bring the entire look together.
Let's face it, you're going to be dealing with a lot of snow if you're visiting Maine in the late winter. So, if you're going to take on the snowy weather, you might as well do it in style. Remember that all of the tips I am giving you are just a reference point. Feel free to remix the outfit however you see fit and create a look that speaks to your personal style because that's what really counts.
I hope that you all get the chance to visit Maine because it is truly a beautiful state and the people there are super laid back.
Happy travels!

UPGRADE YOUR SHOE COLLECTION: TAFT JAWBREAKER SNEAKER
GENTLEMAN, NOWS THE TIME TO STEP YOUR SHOE GAME UP. HERE'S ONE OF MY TOP PICKS FOR SHOE UPGRADES THAT YOU'LL WANT TO CONSIDER! A SHOE WITH VERSATILITY IS KEY!
I received a major upgrade to my sneaker collection this Father’s Day. Taft posted photos of their upcoming releases, which featured a Jawbreaker inspired lace up sneaker. If you know me, then you know that I love unique sneakers such as the Jawbreakers. I commented on Taft’s Instagram page about the shoe and how much I loved them, and I guess my wife caught wind of it. Long story short, I opened a package on Father’s Day and here they are! I have my own pair of The Jawbreakers.
The Jawbreaker sports an Italian sole, Italian wool upper, and 360 stitching. They fit true to size, so no need trying to figure out what size to get.
If you are thinking about copping these sneakers, I would highly recommend them. They will add flavor to your shoe collection and turn heads wherever you go. I personally love the speckle of colors throughout the sneakers and low top cut.
Quick summertime styling tips for The Jawbreaker
· Cropped pant, Cropped denim or cuffed denim (you can practically wear any color denim with these)
· Striped tee shirt (the darker the better, but lighter colors will do as well)
· Pair of shades (tortoise)
TAFT JACK BOOT REVIEW: MEET THE JACK BOOT IN CALICO BY TAFT!
I AM A HUGE SUCKER FOR PATTERNED FOOTWEAR, BUT THESE TAKE THE CAKE. I HAD THE CHANCE TO CATCH UP WITH TAFT OWNER KORY STEVENS ABOUT THESE BOOTS. HERE'S WHAT HE HAS TO SAY...
If you don't know about the Taft Jack Boot in Calico then you need to become familiar. This particular Jack Boot is one of the most sought after pairs of Taft Boots. If you missed the preorder period, that is it folks, these will not be stocked again. I had the opportunity to catch up with Kory Stevens, who is one-half of the founder duo at Taft. Being curious in nature, I wanted to know how the Calico Boot came to be. Well here's what Kory had to say!
" I went to the factory late last year and I happened to be there for a really big textile fair. It was there that I found this wool with amazing texture and detail. Never seen wool like this before so I knew I had to get it."
"I got the textile sample and ended up designing the Calico Boot for myself. I loved it, but I knew it would be super polarizing and not sure how anyone would react to it. I just designed it for myself an planned on keeping it just for me."
"I posted a photo of it on Instagram really casually and everyone freaked out over it. I got tons of emails and texts about it, so I ended up putting it online for preorder."
Well, there you have it. That is how the Jack Boot in Calico came to be! Check out the images below of my pair of Calicos. Stay tuned to see how I style these beauties ;) Drop some comments below to let me know what you think about the boots.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a watch fanatic that keeps endless watches on deck. I look closely at the craftsmanship quality when making the decision to purchase a watch.

The Longitude Moon Phase Automatic instantly caught my eye and made me realize that I didn't own a navy watch.
The Longitude Moon Phase Automatic sports an automatic moon phase and date dial with apparent roman applied indexes. It large classically formed case and see-through back allow you to see all the inner workings.
"The Longitude Moonphase timepiece from Earnshaw is a fitting tribute to the ingenuity, intelligence and grace in design of the works from Earnshaw." Thomas Earnshaw Company
