Men's New Fashion Trends
It's always great to mix trendy pieces with more classic looks to give you the perfect look that always looks up-to-date. Color is big for men this season (I love colored interesting shirts of all kinds), as are relaxed chic looks (like relaxed suits), etc.
Accessories that are hot are really simple: well kept shoes. It's one of the first things people notice, so always make sure the shoes are right and clean. Here's something I like to do. Instead of looking at celebs, I check out various magazines and advertising and check out different looks I like (for You GQ, Cargo) and then get shopping!
If you are wondering why some of today's most sophisticated men's stores - Polo Ralph Lauren, Bergdorf Goodman Men, Barneys New York - are stocked with enough hard-core color to resemble the team uniform section of a sporting goods shop, well, perhaps that's fitting. Color has become practically a contact sport.
Mens wear Bright New Look In the last few seasons, many men have developed a major passion for sharply tailored suits and brightly patterned dress shirts, snapping up $200 Etros by the half-dozen. But this spring, in the eternal game of one-upmanship known as fashion, the look has been taken to a new extreme. Solidly colored pants, sweaters and blazers - in tangerine, lemon, viridian, magenta, royal blue - have raised the stakes, and some men are, to retailers' surprise, taking the bet.
Retailers report that traditional two-button cotton sport coats and pinwale corduroys struck by a lightning bolt of color have become some of the hottest sellers of the season. And in a rare meeting of minds, old-school retailers like Paul Stuart are sharing a design aesthetic with edge-of-fashion lines like Burberry Prorsum and Duckier Brown.
"The first thing that blew out of Barneys was all the color," said Daniel Silver, a partner in Duckier Brown. "When we were designing it we were thinking: 'It's so bright. Are guys really going to buy this?' But they have. It's like someone knocked down the wall between his and hers closets."
The trend has obvious appeal to men who want an easy new way to express a bold streak. But it has an august precedent as well, in the late, great NBC peacock, Johnny Carson. In 1973, when country clubs swarmed with pants and blazers of every hue, Carson's own fashion line was the best-selling men's tailored clothing line in the country, according to Homi Patel, the chief executive of Hartmarx, which owns the line. In 1973 alone, 80,000 electric blue sport coats (with five-inch lapels!) were sold.
Unlike many looks with roots in the past, this one is a study in jarring contrasts. It has both the edge and cheek of early 80's New York, when Day-Glo color fueled the New Wave scene, and the ease and entitlement of an early 70's Republican enclave in Palm Springs.
"The roots are in that country club thing," said Joe Zee, the editor of the men's wear magazine Vitals. "The edge is in its conservative aspect." Striped shirts and plaid jackets can play into a conservative look, but solid colors, Mr. Zee suggested, are bolder. "Men are more used to pattern," he said. "So a pink striped shirt is easier for a lot of guys than an all-pink shirt. That's a more specific fashion statement."
No sector has taken up the call to color more than the hip-hop world, in which dandies like Usher, Farnsworth Bentley and Andre 3000 of OutKast (hard at work on a fashion line called Benjamin) will wear, and combine, the splashiest of colors. "You have urban rappers from Nelly to Puffy saying, 'I can wear this without being a sissy,' " Mr. Zee said.
Chris Chambers, a dapper vice president for publicity at BMG Music, feels the pull. "There's definitely a mixture of an urban thing with classic country club." he said. "I'll wear the pink Ralph Lauren blazer but maybe not with the white slacks they show. I'll wear it with some Evisu jeans and a cool sneaker."
Still, it takes guts. "I think a solid bold color looks fresh, but you have to have a level of confidence for it," Mr. Chambers said. What makes the look less brash and more appealing, he said, is its history as the onetime uniform of 19th-hole golfers everywhere.
Ross Geisel, a Manhattan fund-raiser, has taken a shine to color because of its associations with a life of gentlemanly ease. "I can get away with wearing it to work, and then if you go out afterward, you don't look like you came from the office," Mr. Geisel said.
Another reason he likes extreme color is that there are so few rules about wearing it. That, he maintains, makes it easier, not harder to dress. "It doesn't matter what you do," he said. "I have a loud pink shirt on today with a corduroy chocolate brown blazer. I can wear it spring, summer or fall, with any shoe I want."
Even with his outlaw attitude, he said the style reminds him of his father's country-club clothes. But the concept of Johnny Carson as a symbol of style is lost on him. "All I remember is Carnac," he said.

Women's True Religion Jeans - Are Those Fake True Religion Jeans?
Women's True Religion jeans are a hot item in the women's designer clothing market right now. Unfortunately, when shopping for women's True Religion jeans you must be aware that there are faux, phony, and fakes out there creeping their way into the marketplace and into innocent consumers' closets! Not only are impostor denim jeans made of sub-par material in a sub-par production process, they can also indicate that a person wearing them has no true "sense" of fashion. Read on for some hints on identifying fake True Religion jeans.
True Religion jeans have uniquely shaped pocket flaps on both back pockets and the front coin pocket. Their uniqueness comes in the shape of a well-defined downward point in the very center of the flap with well-defined curves extending upward and outward toward the edges of the pocket. Fake True Religion jeans seldom have this design, but rather mildly curved cuts and sometimes even straight cuts.
Still paying attention to these three pockets, the True Religion embroidery pattern looks like a deep horse shoe with flared ends with large, prominent, silver rivets. This is perhaps the most identifiable feature on a pair of True Religion jeans. Impostor brands typically have a horse shoe that doesn't cover the entire area of the pocket leaving about a 1-inch "gap" between the bottom of the horse shoe stitching and the bottom of the pocket as well as using smaller "Levi's style" brass-colored rivets.
True Religion jeans have a Buddha on the back outer tag. If the Buddha is gone, then the jeans are fake! The Buddha should be bright red and highly detailed. Fake jeans will have a buddha that might be a darker shade of red or a Buddha with a "blurry" appearance because they could not replicate the intricate details of his body, especially his fingers. The inside tag will have some features to note as well. First and foremost, the bottom of the tag should say, "made in USA" (spelled EXACTLY like this but without the quotes) and immediately below that will be the size. Some more subtle things to notice on this tag is a slight dip of the letter "J" in the word JEANS and the silver micro-stitching at the bottom.
These are a few things to help you identify fake True Religion jeans. Of course as the seasons change, these features may change as well, but if you put this information to use, then you are more likely to buy an authentic pair of True Religion rather than be scammed.
You can buy women's True Religion jeans from BuyWomensJeans.com -- a leading source for the latest in women's designer jeans by top manufacturers such 7 For All Mankind, Evisu, Hudson, and many more.

Once upon a time With Evisu
Once upon a time there was a real connoisseur of jeans, Hidehiko Yamane – as expert and demanding as only certain Japanese “otaku” can be. He passionately searched for the best products to import from anywhere in the world. During one of his trips looking for vintage pieces, he came across a 1950s American loom capable of weaving forty meters of “selvedge” denim a day. Yamane had an idea: Why not make exceptional jeans for connoisseurs like himself? So the Evisu adventure began. In 1988 Yamane – who calls himself a tailor, not a designer of jeans – created a cult product.Evisu, created as "THE PREMIUM DENIM LINE," has stayed true to that idea over the years. Renowned for their jeans expertise, Evisu crafts denim masterpieces using super premium fabrics, signature detailing and superior craftsmanship. Each pair of jeans is homage to authentic vintage denim. Straight from Japan, Evisu jeans are worn by celebrities and non-famous elite alike! Here at Zappos, you will be able to find the latest in Evisu fashions from jeans to shirts, hoodies to shoes- mix and match or dress from head-to-toe.
As mentioned above, Evisu soon expanded and now has an exciting offering of athletic and casual shoes appropriately named “Evisu Shoos”. Known for their attention to detail, Evisu shoes have become all the rage for both men and women. Evisu, named for the Buddhist god of money, still remains true to its artisan roots with a fanatical devotion to quality and authenticity while maintaining those two other viral ingredients for the Evisu magic potion - humor and irreverence.
Expanding even more, Evisu kids clothing provides that same great quality found through out all aspects of the Evisu brand. The iconic Evisu seagull logo can be found throughout the Evisu kids clothing line along with the Evisu shoes collection.
