Sometimes the search for attractive men’s jewelry becomes an epic quest. However, one designer I can always count on for excellent men’s jewelry is Philip Crangi. He won a CFDA for Accessory Design, and creates masterpieces that people are willing to pay thousands for. I think the man is a genius, and I love that…

Kinowear Style Pick: Rebel Class

Khaki Blazer

This really struck me as one of those unequivocal looks you rarely see on the streets. The combination of color and texture is perfect. I love the rugged nature of the light blue denim shirt paired against the classic and sophisticated texture of the khaki tweed blazer. It’s a complete expression of masculinity, strength, and class…

Love the low-cut white cardigan over the thin v-neck tee.

It’s a refreshingly crisp look that you can steal this Spring. Worn here with a charcoal gray cotton suit, perfectly paired with Converse sneakers and classic black laces to match.

Building self-confidence is something that most people leave to chance. Many settle for the belief that as you get older you’ll just automatically grow in confidence through “experience.” But waiting for external factors to give you confidence is like building your house on sandy ground. When the flood comes, your house will be washed away and left in ruins.

Kinowear Lookbook: #10

What I like most about this outfit is the balance of masculinity and femininity. That balance is what creates a sexually appealing look.
