Boots For Fall - A Buyers Guide

Image: Wolverine

It’s officially fall, so that means its boot season.  When I say boots, I’m not talking about hiking, snow, cross country or hybrid boots.  I’m talking about stylish, modern boots that you can wear to the office, out to a nice dinner or casually out on the weekends.

Style Makeover - Video From AlphaM

My pal Aaron runs a mens style and lifestyle blog called I Am Alpha M and he's doing style makeovers in a big way.  Check out the first video in his series.

One of my favorite go-to looks is a fitted sport jacket or blazer with jeans. You can look dapper and casual all at the same time. Swap in some brown boots to dress it down, or go for a nice pair of loafers to step it up.

Monday OOTD - Outfit Of The Day

It's officially sweater weather here in Seattle, but that doesn't have to mean boring.  I put this fall orange v-neck sweater over a denim shirt and paired it with a patterned tie and light blue sport coat.  Go with tan or grey chino's or even dark wash jeans.  Loose the tie and jacket and it's still a smart look for fall.

Macy's Mens Night Out Live Updates - EVENT RECAP!!

Tonight is the night!  It's the Macy's Mens Night Out event at Macy's Bellevue Square from 4:00 to 8:00.
I'll be live-blogging from the event and here's how I 'hope' it works out; I'll be posting updates and photos right here on this post, or on the 40 Over Fashion Facebook page.  It all depends on the WiFi signal whether I'll be posting here or to Facebook.  Either way, I'll be posting updates, so if you can't be there in person (I hope you will be) you can still catch some of what's going on.

Pulling Looks & Styling Models - Macy's Mens Night Out

Yesterday afternoon I met with Sarah from Macy's to go over some of the details for the Men's Night Out event on Saturday.  They had a few small changes in plans, but I think it'll work out even better.

New Styling Assistant

Everyone, please say hi to my new styling assistant!  He's a foam half mannequin torso lined with fabric and he's got a metal pole up his ass (or at least where his ass should be).

No More Shoulder Bumps

Don’t you hate those annoying little hanger bumps in the shoulders of your shirts and sweaters?  Since it’s the beginning of sweater season, it’s time to fix the problem so you look your best and help keep your clothes lasting longer in the process.  

Macy's Mens Night Out October 25th - UPDATE

Alright guys, I have a pretty exciting update on the Macy's Mens Night Out coming up this Saturday October 25th from 4:00 to 8:00pm.  I had a meeting over the phone with Sarah, a sales manager for several departments at Macy's.  She wanted to brain storm ideas on how they could incorporate me and my blog into their event.

Macy's Men's Night Out Next Saturday

Come join me and my pals at Macy's in Bellevue Square on Saturday October 25th from 4:00pm to 8:00pm.  They've not only invited me to come, but they've granted behind the scenes access (more details coming soon).

You can enjoy music from the live DJ, get wardrobe ideas from the runway show, get your shoes shined, grab some refreshments and enter drawings for free stuff.  How cool is that?!

Up your style game and come see what's going on in the world of menswear.  You might be surprised at how comfortable dressing well really is. :)

I hope to see you all there!

Lightweight Jacket For Fall

It's fall in Seattle, but you'd never know it.  As I type, it's 74-degrees outside.  If there's one thing I can assure you of, the fall weather will be here soon enough.  It won't start getting really cold for about another month or two, so I feel lightweight jackets during this time of year are invaluable.  It's just cold enough to need some sort of outer layer, but not cold enough to need a full-fledged winter coat.  That's pretty much the story around here until late June anyway.

Mini Style Makeover with Ray

I had the pleasure of spending the day with my childhood friend, Ray the other day who I’ve been friends with since the 7^th grade.  We’ve fallen in & out of touch over the years, but every time we connect it’s just like old times. 

The V-Neck Sweater

As the winter months are fast approaching, it’s time to evaluate your sweater inventory.  Let’s take a close look at the staple in the sweater family, and one of my favorites, the V-neck.

The Perfect Jeans?

Okay, I’m not usually one to get all excited about a new pair of jeans, but I’m about to make an exception.  I have found what may, quite possibly, be the best fitting & most comfortable pair of jeans I’ve ever owned. 

Attitude & Style.. At Any Age

Happy weekend everybody!  Notice his tie matches her skirt.  Well played, sir. :)
