Ones to Watch: Men of 2016

Russell Westbrooks, Michael B Jordan, David Beckham, Steve Harvey, and Oliver Rousteing are five men not only dominating in their respective industries, but they are also dominating in the fashion arena. While a lot of men have stepped up their dress game, these five have managed to master the art of turning heads on and off the red carpet with their sense of style.

Women like a man who is not afraid of anything, and from the looks of it Michael B Jordan is fearless when it comes the patterns and prints that he makes a part of his wardrobe.

Michael proves why a man should get almost every piece of clothing that they own tailored.  Fit, fit, fit, you cannot stress this enough when you put a man in a suit. Couple that with the pin stripes and the black button down underneath to even out the pattern and Michael hits the nail right on the head.

Everything about this outfit exudes confidence! Russell shows us that no matter how tall you are furs and prints can be a part of your wardrobe and not overpower you. This look on the cover of GQ is top fashion and we appreciate that this baller’s style is so versatile.

Westbrook creates a coloring block effect when he pairs black distressed jeans with white and Kentucky blue layers. This look is casual and effortless! We love it because the added layer elevates the look from the basic “t-shirt and jeans” combination.

David Beckham embodies “cool” his ability to pair the perfect motorcycle jacket and fitted t-shirt proves the age-old saying that less is more. His everyday look involves a uniform of all black with the exception of the footwear. Mr. Posh prefers a brown boot to finish off his look.

This look is perfect for the Fashion Week activities that Steve participated in this year with his lovely wife Marjorie. The red pants are a fashion risk that worked when teamed up with this bold plaid blazer.

This burgundy pinstriped suit shows the everyday man that he can experiment with the classic suit and explore different color options. The look is tied together with a black button down and classic dress shoe. The love that Steve has for Marjorie is undoubtedly his greatest accessory!

They do not call him the prince of fashion for no reason. Oliver Rousteing’s affinity for designing blazers with brass buttons keeps him on trend. Whether buttoned or unbuttoned this chocolate colored jacket makes a statement on its own!

In the above picture his signature blazer adds another layer to his look. With a v-neck tee and leather joggers Rousteing mixes unconventional pieces together to create a rocker chic look.

You can have celeb style too!

Have your bae try out a variation of Beckham’s casual style by throwing on a pair of coated denims, a V-neck t-shirt of his choosing, and worn brown boots. Finish the look by layering a leather motorcycle jacket on top and accessorize is with a bold statement watch or sunglasses. H&M can supply you with any basic V-neck you need, and you can pick up a pair of black denims from Express along with some shades and a leather jacket!

If going for a more formal look take a hint from Steve Harvey and Michael B Jordan. Do not be afraid of a little color and print. Here we went for a blue pant with a grey and blue plaid jacket. Tie the pieces together with a black dress shirt and black perforated dress shoe. A classic watch and black pocket square (not shown) are the only subtle touches needed to add to this look. Check out Zara to score a similar look, and Macys to get a quality watch and pair of dress shoes without breaking the bank.

Happy shopping!

Brands: Milano Di Rouge

What is your definition of success? Better yet, when do you know you have “made it”? These days all an up and coming designer can hope for is a celebrity co-sign to boost sales. So imagine the feelings that ran through Designer and Owner, Milan, of Milano Di Rouge when her clothing line was unexpectedly the center of attention at Powerhouse 2015. Not only did the line adorn the backs of the show’s celebrity performers, but you could also see the brand on its targeted customer in the audience.You could take that image and it still would not add up to the blood, sweat, and tears that Milan has put into Milano Di Rouge so far. However, on her quest to Making her Dreams a Reality, it is not a bad start.

Check out the interview below to learn more about the luxury street wear brand Milano Di Rouge and what it can add to your closet to give you Unregistered Style:

So what is the style of Milano Di Rouge?
“Milano Di Rouge is a luxury lifestyle street wear brand providing affordable luxury. Our customers are stylish and don’t mind trying raw innovative brands.”

brands_milanodirouge1_012816_01Captain’s Only Capo Jersey Lookbook Retrieved 1/18/2015 From Milanodirouge.com

Seeing how IG lit up during Powerhouse you seem to have a huge male following, tell me how you feel your work is being perceived by the public?
“Well, we have been getting a lot of great feedback. People like the quality and they love the style. A lot of celebrities get the packages we send them for promotion and come back to purchase, with us. [Getting those notifications I felt] so blessed, tears were in my eyes. I worked so hard; I made so many different connections, and honestly I wish I was there to see it. It is unbelievable that Young Chris performed at Powerhouse wearing our jersey.”

brands_milanodirouge1_012816_02Lou Williams for Milano Di Rouge. Retrieved 1/18/2016 From Milanodirouge.com/gallery-page/

That is an amazing feeling I am sure. With Young Chris being a nice name to add to your resume I have to ask; do you cater to more of a male or a female customer?
“I design unisex clothing, but I like to keep a guy in mind first, then I add some of the female essentials.

So the Venus and Mars Jumpsuit…

No! (laughs) With the tight stretchy fabric no way a guy would want to wear it. I am thinking that I want to go back [to the drawing board] on a men’s jumpsuit. It would be like a Men’s Carthart/Dickies suit just more stylish.”

How did you get the Venus and Mars Jumpsuit?
“Actually, I was shopping around, looking for a jumpsuit and not one store had what I was looking for. [I made] something that I would personally want to wear. I created a jumpsuit, went to California to get fabric, and took it to my seamstress. It’s a beautiful thing to be able to create exactly what you are looking for.”

Now that we have mentioned the jumpsuit a little, what are three MUST HAVES from your collection that our readers need to make their style Unregistered?
“1) The Military sweat suit if definitely a must have. You can throw it on with heels [and go out] or sneakers and go to the mall. It is a universal outfit that constantly sells out.”

“2) The Dlano Button Down is also a must have. Think of it as the all purpose shirt. You need it because it is a unisex item that is clean cut and versatile for any occasion.”

“3) Finally, the Venus and Mars Jumpsuit. Out of all three this piece will is a must have for the female reader of Unregistered Style for more than one reason. Ladies can dress it up and dress it down. It is a customer preference that we keep restocking.”

These pieces are great! The jumpsuit is definitely something that I need to check out not only do I love the simplicity of only having to iron one thing, but I cannot find a jumpsuit that does not give me an awkward fit around the hips! Can you tell me what sets your brand apart from the average street wear brand?
“I know that our stance on quality sets us apart. Everything we sell goes under quality control.

Additionally, a few designs are designed by me like the Venus and Mars jumpsuit, the Khloe dress, and the Dlano top. Those are all Milano cut and sew.

The other items are manufactured.”

brands_milanodirouge1_012816_05The Highroad F/W 15 Retrieved 1/18/2016 From Milanodirouge.com

All of your products, the cut and sew items and the manufactured items are amazing, but where do you find your inspiration for these pieces?
“I find inspiration through blogs, fashion tips, motivation tips, all lead me into designing. I was always into fashion and design but never thought fashion design. I started off as a blogger [and transitioned into designing]. Milano Di Rouge is my first clothing line ever.”

With this being your baby, I know you have planned for its future. Where do you see Milano Di Rouge going next season?
“As far as the lifestyle portion of the brand, I would like to take on a social initiative; I want to educate people on safe sex and HIV prevention. It will be geared it towards high school students because I want to use my brand and my platform to promote awareness to a topic that is not highlighted enough.

For the clothing line, I can see experimenting with more colors next season. I am such a black and white type girl which is why I added green and maroon, but I am thinking sparkles. I love streetwear but one of my longterm goals would be to branch out and do a collection that you wouldn’t even know is Milano, but that is further down the line so keep your eyes open. #UnregisteredStyle”
