Timing Is Everything

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

We always get asked what a man should save on and what a man should splurge on in his wardrobe. In essence, we believe the splurging items are few but important–unless you have money splurging out of your pockets…in that case, splurge away.

One of those items is a watch…or “timepiece” for all you vintage dandy fanatics out there. Since most of us more than likely only have one or two watches, we’re wearing the same watch with just about everything in your closet and on a daily basis. So pick something that coordiantes with most of your clothes and also make it YOUR accessory–something people could even recognize you by. It’s part of your brand. Here’s a few options with varying degrees of “Splurge”…ahem:


Need Supply Company Brass Tan Watch $875 Majorly Breaking The Bank


AEO Military Watch $19.95 Budget Beat!


Kenneth Cole New York Round Case Watch $150 A Solid Everyday Option

On Sale: ASOS Military Watch

Monday, February 7th, 2011

Check out this nice, sleek watch from ASOS! Not necessarily for the workplace, but great for weekends and with your casual wear! This would be a good addition to bulk up your timepiece collection without spending a fortune–there was a recent article in the WSJ explaining how many watches a man needs–the blurred answer was somewhere between two and a dozen! Yowwwwwzers. LKc Style recommends having one to three watches at hand…unless you have more money to spend than you know what to do with.

Fat Wallet Day: Vestal Watch

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

If you have more TIME than there is in the day to make tons of money, check out this very unique and bold watch. It’s not for everyone and definitely demands a certain wearer; however, if it makes your heart go tick-tock, it would be a great statement. For the record, LKc Style does not condone spending money you don’t have (which is why most of our recommendations are affordable)…but if you do have it, you might as well look good too.

Affordable Fall Alternatives for Details Magazine

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

If you’re not pouring over men’s magazines, particularly men’s fashion magazines, I can’t blame you. First, most of the looks are absolutely ridiculous, over-the-top, non-real-people outfits AND/OR out of real-people price ranges. (If you can pull off ridiculous outfits and have lots of money…call me or go to Details Magazine…if not, keep reading and know you are normal, average, probably not taking naked pictures with hot models, and that we still love you).

Details Magazine September issue provided a “10 Ways to Modernize Your Wardrobe” spread with some actual decent suggestions, with the exception that they’re all very expensive for an average joe. Here are suggestions very similar to their article but that might fit into your budget this year. Treat yourself to a few new necessity items if your old ones are wearing thin.  ***LKc Style budget: $369.22, Details Magazine Budget: $10,500.00***
