L.L. Bean Signature F/W 2011

Damn! L.L. Bean Signature raised the bar with their F/W line. J.crew better watch their "affordable" ass because the "king of boots" is bringing it hard with a line full of archive inspired pieces and some straight up wicked cool prep winter essentials; all of which come in at a more affordable price point! Following are some of my favorite looks so far, take note of the brown tweed jacket definitly on the top of my list for F/W.

10 Essentials For Summer #4

6.Polos: This is a preppy staple and something every man should have in his arsenal. A polo is a must have piece as it can easily be dressed up or down and is extremely versatile. It can be paired with a blazer and chinos, or with shorts and and a hoodie and create a look that is either wedding or beach ready. Almost every clothing company makes a polo so look around and find which best suites you and your wallet! I personally prefer Rugby, who takes a more sporty approach with a hidden placket, rubber buttons, and a more tailord fit. Look around and find one that fits your own personal style, and if your feeling extra preppy pop that collar like your just don't give a damn.

10 Essentials For Summer #3

5. Ribbon Belts: These are a must have for any good summer wardrobe as they can turn a boring pair of khaki chinos into fun loving summer trousers. And because they're cheap you can afford to buy one to match anything. Also you can do what I did and make your own for even cheaper!
Pick up this one from J.Press which is currently offering 25% off their entire summer collection.

Inception

This may be the greatest movie I have ever seen! Please go see it as soon as possible it is a masterpiece. Also Joseph Gordan-Levitt is a sartorial inspiration throughout, Love that guy! Doesn't hurt that Ellen Paige is a cutie either!

10 Essentials For Summer #2

Alright today we take a look at some must have bottom wear for summer.

3. Swim Trunks: Again a no brainer it's summer which means beach trips and pool side parties; but, do everyone a favor and pick up a pair that doesn't make you look like a total idiot. Leave anything over a 7 1/2 inch inseam to the surfers.


4."Fun" bottoms: As the days heat up so should your attire, spring and summer is the time to break out the "go to hell", madras and seersucker pants/shorts. Just remember to wear them confidently, if you don't it will ruin the whole look.

10 Essentials For Summer

So W.C.P seems to be heading in a different direction as more of a blog for inspiration rather then sketches. Although they will continue; also get excited for an upcoming belt I finished just in time for the 4th of July.

So without further ado the top 10 things every man needs from the feet up. Shoes are up first!

1. Sperry Top-Siders: No Explanation needed. Although Sperry reigns supreme when it comes to boat shoes if you want something a little different check out Sebago.


2. White Bucks: Though hotly debated, I think these are an absolute must for summer. They go great with seersucker, nantucket reds, and maybe even jeans if you can pull it off. You can find some cheap ones at Bass Shoes.
