Street Style // Erik Peiluck

One of my personal style influences, Erik Peiluck, rocks not one, but two stylish scarves in this edition of street style. Waxed denim jean give his look an edgy, motorcycle-inspired vibe and a black shirt serves as the perfect backdrop for his paisley scarves. Gold and silver mix together for a heavy-metal look. Get to know Erik at Vesl Collective. Thanks to Hayley Marie for the photos.

Happy Hunting,

Street Style // Danny McBride

I ran into this sharp dressed man at Bean Scene for lunch this afternoon. Danny McBride is a true shark: handsome, polite and very friendly when I asked for a picture. He is, in one word, polished. His blazer and jeans looked crisp and fit well and his round tortoise glasses added individuality to his look. Danny says he does his shopping at Man + Women. I've been there and can confirm this is the best place for trendy men's clothing.   

Happy hunting,

Louis Vuitton Luxury

The Louis Vuitton spring collection is a great place to draw inspiration. If your style is clean cut and classic, or cool and trendy, the Spring 2013 represents a man who knows how to bask in luxury. Their nautical themes this season includes leather jewellery, anchor themes, and blue and grey tones. Trade your tie in for an ascot, and unbutton the top button for a relaxed, beachy look. Neon tones have also taken center stage in this collection, but should be deferred for a more classic look. Try pairing a navy blazer with a slim fitted white jean and boat shoes. The cool sophistication will be a modern take on the classic yacht captain. 

Designed by Kim Jones, this collection reflects on his travels to Thailand and are meant to "remind the adventurer of sandy beaches he'd known and loved," according to this Esquire article. Read the article for more information on the design and construction of this high-end line. 

Happy Hunting,

The Great White Gatsby

No woman can resist the sharply dressed Gatsby, played by Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby, due in theatres on May 10th. Academy Award winning designer Catherine Martin transforms Jazz Era fashions to look modern and sophisticated. Only she could turn a period movie into the next big trend in men's fashion. 

Catherine teamed up with the Brooks Brothers to release a certainly dapper menswear line based off the movie. Channel your inner Gatsby with a three piece suit and a pair of two-toned oxfords. Smart blazers are paired with plaid vests or colourful bow ties for a unique spin on 1920's style. Black tie style is transformed with lapel waist coats, and bow-ties. The look is clean, composed, and very, very rich.

Expect a vintage feel to formal trends this season, and try to incorporate them into you're everyday look. A pocket watch, straw hat or bow tie can give some extra class to an outfit. Complete the look with a glass of scotch and a beautiful woman. To view the entire collection, visit the Brooks Brothers website. 

Happy Hunting,
