Style Tips

One of summer’s most lasting trends can also be impossibly difficult to pull off. The all-white look is tricky (almost as ambitious as the double-breasted blazer), yet done well is a sartorial statement like no other, reading as confident and sleek. Done wrong, and the shame shall haunt you for life- even after years of impeccable attire.

When aspiring to wear the milky hue, follow our simple rules and count the following editorial as a guide. White is a cool, summery shade and should always look effortless. Fit is crucial so slim and well-cut pieces are essential- too roomy equals disheveled (and not in the good way). Don’t over think it, keep it minimal, and refuse to shy away from adding punches of contrast for personality. Lastly, we cannot overestimate the importance of (fabric friendly) bleach. White should always be white.

[VIDEO] Real Men Wear Short[er] Shorts

Sasha Ferkul July 7, 2014

Ok, gentlemen, it’s time to add a hit of European sensibility to those warm weather wardrobes. Worn by men on the Riviera for ages, short (as in shorter, not Daisy Duke style) shorts are the new modern. The key is ensuring proper fit (streamlined, not tight) and correct length (halfway down the thigh is abbreviated enough). Unload the piles of cargos and Bermudas- their lengthy measurements look dated and dull. Look to our GS “how to wear” tutorial- featuring Melissa lending her expertise on how to style this enduring trend. Regardless of body type or personal preferences, we have the pair for you. Shop Gotstyle online or in-store.
