A post for the guys and what the ladies like to see them in.

This weather has been horrendous lately one day its warm and the next its windy and cold. In this scenario its really hard to dress to be comfortable, I mean if you bundle up, your sweating like your in the Caribbean in June and if you dare to put on to little your shivering like your a member of the polar bears club taking a dip in the Atlantic in February. So here are some alternatives I think men can wear to accommodate the constant change of weather. Shawl Sweaters and Partially Lined Blazers. Guys its all about layers. Wear that t-shirt you love, but remember to turn it into a fashion statement. Layer it up with a shawl cardigan or blazer. Shawl Cardigans are a perfect transition from winter to spring and even fall to winter. I first fell in love with this sweater when I saw the new James Bond Daniel Craig sporting it in Casino Royale. Boy did he look amazing! Although it was first made popular by Steve McQueen in 1951 the original cardigan was invented for Lieutenant General James Brudenell, the Seventh Earl of Cardigan. He wanted a sweater that wouldn't mess up his hair when he put it on. I guess his particular nature brought about an iconic piece, go figure! So you know what I did when I saw Daniel Craig in that sweater I went straight to +Kenneth Cole and bought the hubby a version of it! And of course he looks amazing in it! Here is a nice snap of him and I at dinner. Myself in: a House of Sadia Original and the hubster in a brown cardigan sweater by Kenneth Cole. A little side note this sweater is amazing for so many reasons. It elongates your torso because its form fitted and it gives some men that oomph they need in the shoulders area. Creates a wonderful silhouette. And, most of them are made of woven cotton which is very breathable and comfortable at the same time. Cardigans look amazing and very classy on guys.  





Check out this great version made by +Tommy Hilfiger available +Macy's http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/tommy-hilfiger-sweater-aran-shawl-cardigan-sweater?ID=782900&cm_mmc=Google_Nongender-_-Apparel_Brands_PLA_Tommy+Hilfiger-_-48662409423-_-mkwid_jHUjy6OE 

Can't forget about the Blazers, also a perfect transition from winter to spring. But you have to keep the lining in mind which can be very tricky. Sometimes the lining is made of thick satin, polyester or silk materials which can cause you to perspire like crazy when it gets warm! So your best option is partially lined blazers, I would invest in a blazer that is timeless, Black, Brown, Beige, Navy Blue and make sure it is made of great quality. For the trendy Blazer look more for style and sharpness since it wont be for long term use. Here are some great choices from +Banana Republic and +Uniqlo. The Blazer from Banana is partially lined and made of cotton. The one from Uniqlo is made of their breathable fabric especially designed by Uniqlo to absorb and breath, how cool is that! I gave my readers two options because if you look closely they both look exactly the same but are made of different fabrics and in different price ranges, hopefully everyone is able to purchase all these timeless pieces. Happy Shopping Guys!
