Resort collections for Maison Martin Margiela, Raf Simons, Acne, and even Rick Owens, are all incorporating this color fairly heavily. Here are a few choice pieces which you can purchase now to prepare...

For the first update for the trap section of this blog I felt it appropriate to dedicate the post to one of the pioneers of the genre. I wasn't the biggest fan of Jeezy's last album, but this song brings him back to his roots. Now bump this in your $4000 Thom Browne suits...

Fall Trend Alert: Tweed
Tweed. The grandpa fabric. The "menswear" staple. Over the years tweed has been worn strictly by older men, and only on blazers and the occasional pair of pants. This season tweed is making the transition into high fashion in a BIG way. It's making is way onto bomber jackets, varsity jackets, and even caps. This isn't the tweed you are familiar with, however. This tweed is colorful, with either flecks of blue red and yellow, or even pink...

Fall Trend Alert: "Ugly" Becomes Pretty
Burgundy, Olive, and Mustard have always been looked at as the "ugly" colors of the fashion world. I myself absolutely refused to wear even a hint of any of these three colors. But starting in August I became obsessed with exactly these three colors, and now over half of my wardrobe for this season consists of them. I also started to notice these colors popping up in more and more of this season's collections; Raf Simons, Maison Martin...
Fall is coming...
Fall. The red and gold leaves crunch beneath your shoes, the leather jackets and sweatshirts come out of your closet, and you realize... layering season is finally here!
