What’s New: SAND

February 5, 2012

Danish fashion house SAND continues to combine tailored fits with European charm for their Spring 2012 collection. Definitely not for the wallflower kinda guy, this collection is full of bright, contrasting colours and patterns.

Once the warmer weather comes, patio season and summer social events will quickly fill up your agenda. These are the perfect shirts to go from paired with a suit at the office to worn without the jacket or blazer at social events.

Purple and orange gingham shirt $195, Blue and orange striped shirt $195.


Orange gingham shirt $195 with a Tiger of Sweden tuxedo jacket. Plaid shirt $225.

SAND was always at the forefront of having the newest stripes and plaids in their collection. Now for Spring they’ve added in some great new prints and mirco patterns.

Blue and white floral shirt $250.


Paisley shirt $225, micro paisley print shirt $225.

Like the SAND Creative Director says, “These are pieces that are easy to live with and hard to get rid of.”

 
Green gingham shirt $198, floral shirt $250.

Color is the hot trend for Spring. Look for orange and green to be the new fashion colors for guys (easier to relate to then the pinks and purples of the past seasons).

 

For spring weight blazers, we just got in two stunners! A light blue cotton blazer with satin taping, perfect for summer weddings and social events for $750. This navy blue pin textured blazer is perfect for red carpet worthy events or when you want to impress on date nights. $795

Style Essentials – The Black Blazer

January 11, 2012

Guys should view the black blazer the same way women view the LBD (little black dress). EVERY women has at least one in their closet, it’s their go-to when they want a sure fire outfit that looks good. Same goes for the black blazer for guys; it immediately makes you look better, it dresses up any outfit (including jeans and a ratty t-shirt) and co-ordinates with pretty much every color you already have in your wardrobe. If you want to modernize; look for a slightly shorter jacket and of course you know to keep it trim.

We’ve got two new ones at Gotstyle:

Strellson Travel blazer $595 – Have this crumpled at the bottom of your suitcase and when you pull it out it’s good to go! Half lined to make it super light weight, with a ticket pocket and pick stitching for added detail and stretch for added comfort.

Gotstyle $450 – Subtle tonal herringbone texture gives this blazer added depth and richness, contrast brown buttons mean you can wear this with every color pant you own.

Melissa Talks Tweed: The Tweed Blazer (VIDEO)

October 17, 2011

Imagine what makes a proper gentlemen and tweed comes to mind. Not the ill-fitting and frizzy, oversized kind that your elders wear – we’re talking about a modern cut and softer material against your skin. And you can wear one almost anywhere.

Watch the video above to learn more about Melissa’s second favourite trend this season.

Don’t forget to take a peak at our latest post on Fall tweed blazers, featuring new pieces from Cinque, Strellson, and SUIT.

What’s New: Fall Blazers by Cinque, Strellson, and SUIT

October 15, 2011

Cinque navy blazer $695.

All of us at Gotstyle are in love with texture this fall. From corduroy to velvet, leather to tweed, we can’t get enough of it! Here’s some of our favourite fall blazers that’ll add some dimension to your wardrobe.

Gotstyle tweed blazer $595.

Lets start with one of the most classic yet trendy looks for this season the tweed sportcoat. The warm neutral brown pallet matched with a modern fit bring in just the right amount of traditional, while keeping your wardrobe looking new and  current. With a very fine tweed like this, you won’t end up feeling outdated or stuck in a time warp. Match this with a nice pair of black slacks and a crisp shirt and you have a great alternative to your staple all black suit.

  

If you’re not loving corduroy, but want a bit of texture in your wardrobe; this Strellson blazer priced at $650 is perfect. The very fine wales give it a slight texture, but nothing overpowering. The shape of this blazer is great too, by accentuating the shoulders it becomes a very flattering and versatile piece to have in your closet.

For something more casual, Johnny Love makes this great blazer priced at $495. The heavy tweed will keep you warm and is perfect for the guy who likes to keep his weekend look more polished than casual.

 

SUIT blazers: $350 each.

Every fall we see a lot of greens, reds, and earthy colours which brings us to these two amazing green blazers. Depending how casual your office dress code is, these jackets can easily be mixed into both your social and work wardrobes. And if your weekends involve a lot of lunches and outings to museums, galleries etc. then having tweed blazers like these will prove to be a great asset.

Gotstyle plaid blazer with suede elbow patches $595.

 Now for the guy that has a blazer for every possible situation, we recommend going bold by playing with patterns and colours. For pattern the clear winner for this category is plaid. As for colour there are some great combination depending on your occasion. If you are looking for just the right balance we recommend more of a earth tone pallet like you see above. Another great way to step up this look is to get a blaze that has elbow patches. Lets face it you can never go wrong by adding a little British flare to your ensemble.

What’s New: Shirts & Blazers from Ted Baker

August 27, 2011

British cut Ted Baker has arrived for fall, including some fantastic shirts and blazer. If slim fit Italian isn’t your thing, this is your next best bet. Complete with a striped lapel, this Ted Baker blazer is priced at $565.

Four new styles of shirts are available, ranging from $195 to $265. Whether it’s solid, plaid, striped or patterned, Ted has you covered.

MELISSA SAYS: If you are looking for a collection that is modern classic with just enough of a twist, Ted is for you. It doesn’t have to shout, but his detailing will get you noticed. My favorite item for the season is his blazer with the detailing on the lapel (above) – it’s what every smart dressed man should be wearing out on a Saturday night.
