Hypercrush Neons & High Voltage Aglow

written by: @jlscloset ,

It's really no surprise that after a long, drab Winter season all we long for is the warmth of the sun and of course, the sizzling skin-baring Spring/ Summer season's hottest fashions. Well, yours and my wish came true. Preferably for myself, I tend to gravitate toward the bolder hues. Hypercrush is exactly how I'd describe my love for this rainbow bright affair.

PEOPLES REVOLUTION: Oliver Peoples 2010 Shades To Live By

The sunglasses you wear can define who you are and who people think you are. With this in mind, selecting a pair of shades is as important to your image as the shoes you wear, or the scent that adorns you. This subtle accessory speaks to your style, your confidence and your place in the world, and who better to help you enhance your status than Oliver Peoples. His spectacular spectacles define characters and grant stardom. They are not suglasses, they are who I am, who I am going to be, and you better lookout because I am a bad bad man (or woman).

Oliver Peoples has become as renowned for its celebrity collaborations and star studded campaigns as it has for vintage eyewear. In late September, 2009, the brand announced it would be reuniting with highly acclaimed photographer and director Autumn de Wilde to cast another set of influential celebrities to star in their 2010 campaign, whose last cinema ad campaign featured tastemakers Robert Evans and Zooey Deschanel in a short storyline film. So successful was the storyline, sunglass sales of the broadcasted models sky-rocketed over night.

Oliver Peoples sunglasses have transcended the accessory category to wardrobe absolute. Things have changed, so welcome to the new world, where people evolve, style is a virtue and the revolution will be televised.

TRETORN: Sucker for Classics

Maybe I'm just a fool, but a classic is a classic, whether it's redefined or forgotten about. This was one and still is one of my favorite brands. Tretorn was hot in the early 80's and since then has been making shoes and trudging through the land of virtual obscurity, but never stopped making quality casual greatness. Here are a few of my favorites styles to reminisce about and stare at with awe.

PREPARE TO FALL: Hot Fashions for Cool Weather

Fall, my favorite season, is slowly pulling into the station. Coats, boots, sweaters, and cool jackets all find their way out of the closet and onto your back as you head out into the new season with changing season confidence. Fall really should be January. It all begins with fall and ends with summer, don't you agree. At least, that's my calendar year. Therefore, if fall is the beginning let us begin with the hottest and newest looks for the beginning of the year ;).

Giles Deacon Peacoat 1650usd

Engineered Garments Edward jacket 485usd

Spurr Peacoat 1950usd

Grenson Aviator Boots in Brown 333usd

Rick Owens Long Black Cardigan 840usd

I love versatility, and all of these items are versatile. Pick any pair of jeans, pants, or chinos they work. They simply work. Remember, every trend is not for everyone and everyone is not you. Go your own way and thread your own needle after all, if you don't fell good about what your wearing no one else will.
