Men’s Style Monday: Checks Are Not Just For Preps



  • Checks and gingham prints are making a splash this season, especially in menswear. Incorporating some colorful checkered patterns into your wardrobe is a must for style-seeking men this Spring. The best bets to try are a gingham shirt or tie, both are versatile enough to look good dressed up or down. Pictured is a handsome green and navy check woven silk Nordstrom-brand tie (How great would this tie look for Easter Sunday or an outdoor Spring wedding?) and a Banana Republic light gray slim fit checkered dress shirt, that would look great for the office or tucked into jeans for an easy-going weekend ensemble. Keep in mind: Don’t mix checkered patterns whatever you do! One gingham print per outfit is plenty! :)

    Sylishly yours,

      Hey fashion girl! I have a random question for you…are cowgirl boots out of style for the coming spring/summer 2009 seasons? Do you want to write a blog post about what shoes are in if not?

      I am noticing some of my alabama friends wearing cowgirl boots with dresses, but before I go out and buy a pair, I want to know if they are “so out” or “still cute” with dresses and skirts. Any help would be great!

      Hi Julia! Great question! In my book, cowboy boots are a wardrobe essential that are always “in style.” I will blog about them in the next few days! Keep the ideas coming…and in the mean time, go out and treat yourself to fun pair of boots! Lauren
