☛ About two years ago, me and my homeboy Arnold set out to share musical goodness through these short motion pictures. Our last collaborative piece was in December ‘10. Hopefully we weren’t gone for too long! So, without further ado, ENJOY, VIBE OUT, and SHARE. (✌+♥)

Fall 2012 Men's Spread

                So I decided to hook the fellas up with the must haves for this fall season. A super clean look comprised of classic pieces will take you a long way. One store that really caught my eye recently is  Brooklyn Circus. The brand itself focuses on timeless pieces based on old school vintage flavor stitched with a modern steez. The three pieces I selected (1. BKc "Olde Brooklyn" Varsity Vest 2. BKc Oxford Button-Down Shirt Pink  3. BKc "Holiday Plaid" Shirt) are all from BK—staple articles of clothing but the stitching is clean and each item has its own innovative flavor to it. Throw any of them with a basic pair of pants and it’ll automatically take the outfit to the next level giving you a clean fitted look. The shoes to cop for this season most def are wingtips. The shoes I decided to feature are Leather Soul: Alden Shoe Barrie Wingtip Boot, These boots are so FLY-- I can't even begin to explain how hot these would be on a dude.  It truly is a classic style with an urban flair and can be worn with practically any type of pants. True elevation points for anyone who has an eye for them. If you cant cop these specific ones, do yourself a favor and grab a pair of basic wingtips at the minimum.

As for accessories, you can always dress up that lonely wrist with a nice piece of big faced hardware. Real men will always be found wearing a watch, hands down. Watches really are the cherry to your ice cream Sundae--it has just enough to finish an ensemble off  if executed correctly. The ones I included in the spread are a Vintage Gubelin 18K IPSO Matic circa 1960 and a Vintage Omega 18k rosewood big faced circa 1950.

Colors of the season: Army Green, Rhubarb, French Roast and Sea Fog.
