My friend The Possessionista sent me over a request from one of her loyal fans asking for some manly looks. Here’s what Lauren had to say: Know you’re a fan of Gossip Girl too and was wondering if you had any idea where the plaid buttondown shirts that Nate wore on the Gossip Girl finale are from? He looked adorable and I want to find them, or something similar, for my husband. Thanks so much 
Lauren
Lauren–Here’s some ideas to make your husband plaid-tastic (pair with a nice navy or brown blazer and some brown shoes for the BEST effect!!):

Button Down Shirts: Modern vs. Classic Fit
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010An LKc client was recently making some online purchases and noticed many of the button down shirts indicated different “fits.” This might be confusing. Here’s a very quick run down:
CLASSIC FIT–also seen as Regular Fit, this shirt has a larger fit around the arms and waist; can be tailored to many sizes (i.e. you have larger biceps or a bit of a gut and might need some extra space). Purchase this kind of shirt to the biggest part of your body and then tailor in (have cloth removed) from your smaller areas. Often times you can find classic fit shirts that are very close to your size and might not need tailoring at all!

Alfani Dress Shirt Mocha Stripe $24.99
MODERN FIT–a pre-tailored fit around the arms and waist. You might also see this described as a European fit or simply as Fitted. These shirts come smaller under the arms and at the waist already. You’ll only need to get these tailored if you’re very picky or have an irregular size. Some might say this is trendy now, but LKc believes that a man should always wear shirts that fit HIM (regardless of trends)…that might mean classic, that might mean modern–try stuff on or give LKc Style a holler for more help!!

Dress to Meet the Parents
Monday, January 18th, 2010So, you have been dating So-and-So for a while now and whether you want to or not, she’s requested you meet her parents for a little “get-together.” So-and-So’s parents are probably nice enough but will still be judging you with hawk eyes. A few tips to meet Mr. & Mrs. So-and-So:
1. Don’t try too hard–unless you’re going to a formal dinner, a tie and/or suit in this situation might make you look stuffy. Leave the formalities at home.
2. Don’t look like the slob So-and-So met drunkenly at the bar last Saturday night–more than a t-shirt is required for this event. Don’t fret, you can still be comfortable.
3. Have a good handshake ready. Think Budwiser: not too heavy, not too light.

ReStyle: Layers in LA
Monday, January 11th, 2010An LKc friend from LA was in town for New Years. We had a little fun doing a mini-restyle at the GAP during the ridiculous after-holiday sales. Living in LA in the winter also means versatile layers…mostly with light coats! LKc can be hired hourly if you’re also looking for a quick restyle like this one–go to www.lkcstyle.com!!

ReStyle: Casual James Bond in the Office
Thursday, January 7th, 2010
“Overall, I am very satisfied with your services. I have been eagerly wearing my new attire to work with pride. The remarks have been overwhelmingly positive…I appreciate your recommendations [of clothing] , but more so guidance on fashion sense, fitting styles, and clothing maintenance.” –Minnesota Client
LKc’s newest client works an office job, but was hoping to look more professional than his regular khaki routine–especially for client meetings. At the same time, he didn’t want to look inappropriately dressed up in a full suit either. The best route: choose GREAT high quality black and/or gray pants, then pick button-down shirts, ties, sweaters and jackets that all color coordinate in the same color palate to get the most bang for your buck!
THIS RESTYLE WAS DONE ALL VIA E-MAIL!!!!!!! LKc CAN DO PERSONAL SHOPPING, CLOSET CONSULTATIONS AND MAKEOVER VIA WEBCAM AND E-MAIL–WE TAKE CLIENTS FROM ANYWHERE!!

I think The Boss will always be the boss. Even if you aren’t a multimillion dollar, decade-spanning rock star, you could still easily pull of this look (with or without a guitar). Think minimally, jeans+button down+vest:
