A hint of accessory will make people look twice.
It’s below 60 degrees in LA, everyone bundle up!

With the weather consistently staying below 60, I’m taking full advantage.

As far as I’m concerned, every man should own at least two topcoats. One dressy, one casual. The beauty of this is that the dressy can also be worn as casual so I would suggesy buying the two in different colors. This is actually my dressy topcoat which I scored at a designer second hand store on Melrose, but I’d consider this to be a more casual outfit with it.

I’m late to the all-black-everything scene and have to admit I’m rather enjoying it. It’s an extremely common thing to see in Hollywood but for some reason I always refrained. It’s a perfect way to make yourself feel sleek and cool without necessarily standing out as you would in all white or another brighter color. Even if you’re not ready to go monochromatic, you NEED some black jeans. Get some.

Topcoats are the best, aren’t they? They work over a t-shirt and jeans or they work over a suit. Slimmer cuts, different materials and designs all allow for an awesome compliment to any late fall/winter outfit.

An outfit like this is perfect for Jordans or the like, too. It’s dressy but comfortable, therefore totally contradicting the athletic aspect of the sneaker. Remember my post on shoes? Still following those rules.
