Men’s Style Mondays

Happy Monday folks! In honor of fall, I wanted to incorporate subtle layers for this week’s #MensStyleMondays post.

So, why subtle layers? If you haven’t noticed the weather outside, our temperature decided to drop an entire 20 degrees this past weekend. Yes, 20 degrees! So, it’s very important to layer up during those colder afternoons.

From the statements mentioned above, I have put together an outfit that pulls the subtle layering concept all together. Check out the full feature below!

post_men1_101914_02Jacket: H&M | Camo Vest: Forever21 | Oxford Button-Down |
Skinny Jeans: H&M | Wingtip Boots: Studio Ink | Necktie: Nordstrom

For this outfit, my goal was to capture the essence of fall, with as many light weight layers as possible.

I started with my base layer, which was the modern solid color button-down from Gap. I can truthfully say that these shirts are very comfortable and affordable. Mine was purchased on sale for $17 and I have owned it for years. Although I am still in love with this particular shirt, it required more layers.

So, I threw on this camo tailored vest from Forever21. Originally purchased for $25, this vest is now a lot cheaper than its original price. Similar to the vest, this khaki jacket was also purchased for $25. I stumbled across this jacket on a H&M sale rack and quickly ran to the check out cash register. It’s very rare that you will find a nice thick khaki jacket for under $30. I guess it was truly meant for me.

I finished my outfit with a pair of skinny denim jeans from H&M, a pair of wingtip boots from DSW, and socks from H&M as well. Although these jeans are  a little snug, they look great with a pair boots.

Overall, I was able to pull a few layers together to create a full outfit for an affordable price!

How do you plan to layer your clothes this season? Leave us some comments below.

Now, if you are ever looking for a trendy jacket for one of those chilly nights, you should invest in a trench coat this season. Both stylish and comfortable, the trench coat can be worn with a variety of looks. For DQ, he combined his fall trench coat with an over sized crew neck t-shirt and denim jeans.

While casually dressed from head to toe, DQ is now ready to step out for a night on the town.

Overall, we love everything about DQ’s outfit!

After 5: The Sport Coat

For anyone that runs a blog or website, you understand the responsibility that comes with sustaining a loyal following. First of all, you want to keep your readers happy. If that means posting three to four times a week, give them what they want! Your success is owned by their support.

So, what does this mean for UnregisteredStyle?

Well, we are obligated to answering questions and providing quality feedback to our readers. For example, we’ve received some suggestions from a couple of our readers about our models. To make a long story short, you wanted us to feature more representatives from the “25 and up” club. So, we took this task very seriously and set out to find a more mature, stylish individuals.

Luckily, we made a new friend recently and he goes by the name Corey.

We had the opportunity to be introduced to Corey during a photo shoot in Philadelphia. Instantly, we liked his style and he agreed to be featured! Here Corey shows off his favorite patterned blazer. Scroll down for the full feature below!

“The sport coat is one of the most common jackets that can be bought. They are mistaken for blazers due to stores wrongly naming the item. The sport coat is bought alone, they are usually heavier fabrics such as tweed, cord, or just cotton chino and patterns can range from solid to madras. Its the less formal jacket out of all three, more rugged and more sturdier.” –MMD Style

Like blazers, sport coats are ideal for a man who wants a little versatility in his life.

“Versatility?!” Yes, Versatility! Since they are available in both modern and class styles,  sport coats can be worn with a combination of sweaters, button-downs, waistcoats, jeans, or chinos. You can practically wear a sport coat with anything. Think about it, the same sport coat can be worn to brunch and later in the evening if you decide to meet  up with friends for a few drinks. The possibilities are endless!

A sport coat can be dressed up or down depending on the type of jacket you purchase. In Corey’s case, he is wearing a plaid, patterned sport coat from JC Penny. Now, JC Penny offers a variety of blazers, sport coats, and suit jackets if you ever run out of ideas. It offers a great selection if you are looking for something inexpensive, fitted, and quick.

In addition, Corey decided to pair his sport coat with a v-neck sweater, button-down, neck tie, chinos, and saddle shoes.

We at the UnregisteredStyle love Corey’s saddle shoes. We actually have a very soft spot for them. Worn by the likes of many, saddle shoes have resurfaced throughout history and continue to add a timeless stamp to men’s fashion.

 If you plan to purchase a patterned sport coat in the near future, be sure to invest in one or two this season. You are going to fall in love with them both immediately! Let us know your opinions in the comment section below.

Also, when you get a chance, please show Corey some love and follow on him on Twitter and Instagram @cconnect360.

Men’s Style Mondays

So every once in a while, I try to push the fashion envelope outside of my comfort zone. Wait, I don’t mean anything extreme like crop tops, printed jeggings, or a Kanye West inspired leather kilt. Seriously, I am not knocking anyone that wears clothing like that but that’s not really my style at all.

Now, when I say, “outside of my comfort zone,” that’s another way of saying, “Bryce Lennon but with a little edge!”

Traditionally, you will catch me on #MensStyleMondays with a pair of khakis, button-down, t-shirt, denim shorts, and loafers. For this post, I decided to switch up my look from dapper to street! Check out the full feature below.

Harem Pants: Uxcell | Denim Shirt: H&M | Tank: ASOS | Boots: Aston Grey

If you consider yourself edgy, you walk a thin line between acceptance and controversial in the world of fashion. Imagine how many stares and smirks I receive from my fellow side-walkers on a  daily basis. Think about it, when you like wearing stylish clothing, the mean comments come with the territory. So, you have to very comfortable with yourself. Just remember to soak everything in and keep having fun!

For this particular outfit, we can make the same argument. The everyday man of  today would not be caught dead wearing a pair of harem pants. I honestly have no problem wearing harem pants! They are comfortable, stylish, and you can combine them with a variety of looks. For instance, you can pair them with a denim shirt, tank, and combat boots like me, or you can be a little more adventurous and throw on a blazer. The sky is the limit here people!

If you want a pair of harem pants, you don’t have to look very hard. There are a number of online stores that have them available for men. Mine were purchased from a Chinese, online distributor called Uxcell. Through Amazon.com, I purchased these pants for $17. Yes, another steal for the week! In addition, you can  purchase a pair of harem pants in four colors: dark blue, light gray, dark blue, and black. Obviously, I went with the black pair.

Have you ever pushed the fashion envelope? If so, tell us about it in the comments section below!
