Happy Monday folks! It’s another gloomy day here in New Jersey but that’s okay! It just gives me another excuse to dress down this week.

For our latest #MensStyleMondays post, I decided to trade in my blazers, neckties, and chinos for a more casual look.

For the record, I am not under the weather at the moment, I have not lost my mind, and I am not going through something. Like everyone else, I do have days where I like to dress down. It’s just hard because I work so much. So, Check out my full outfit below!

Sneakers: Adidas Sombas | Harem Pants: Uxcell |
Flannel Shirt: Ralph Lauren | T-Shirt: H&M | Denim Jacket: Levis

Rather than my favorite tassel loafers, I decided to throw on a pair of Samba classics with this look.

For any guy that once owned a pair of Samba classics, you will understand why these sneakers were so popular. For one, they are very comfortable. Let’s be honest, no one wants to own sneakers that scratch up their feet.  A pair of Samba classics could be worn all day without any problems. In addition, these shoes were built to last. Honestly, I have pair that were purchased back in 2011 and they still look great.

I paired my sneakers with a simple flannel shirt, harem pants, white long sleeve tee, and my favorite denim jacket.  Most of these clothes were hanging around my bedroom and were purchased for dirt cheap from different stores. However, I purchased the harem pants about six months ago from Amazon.com. Initially, I was hesitant about purchasing a another pair since I rarely wear my black ones. However, the harem pants go with almost every casual outfit, which I love.

So, how do you like my featured look this week?

Also, do you own a pair of sneakers that you love to wear with almost every outfit? Feel free to share with us in the comment section below.

Happy Monday Folks!

We decided to kicoff this week with another #MensStyleMondays post for your viewing pleasure. Today, I am embracing my inner emo with this New York inspired look. For more information, check out the full post below!

Blazer: Forever21 | Turtleneck: Kohls |
Jeans: River Island | Wingtip Oxford Boots: Studio Ink

With this look, I decided to step outside of my comfort zone by wearing an all black outfit consisting of a blazer, turtleneck, skinny jeans, and boots. Originally, I had no intentions of wearing the blazer. However, after checking myself out in the mirror, I felt like my outfit was missing something important. More specifically, the turtle neck by itself wasn’t enough to hold the look together.

At first, I tried my leather jacket. Although the jacket looked great with the turtleneck, I still wasn’t satisfied. Then, it hit me! My black blazer would look perfect with this turtle neck. Already tailored, this blazer was an easier transition than the leather jacket. I simply rolled up the sleeves and was ready to head outside.

To be perfectly honest, black is not my go-to color and I rarely chose to wear it outside the house. However, after exploring the color even further, I now understand why people love wearing the color. For starters, black is one of those slimming colors that both men and women love to throw on. If worn correctly, an all black outfit will hide all those unflattering  shadows that may appear when you wear another color. Second, black can be worn with almost anything. For example, suppose you combined a simple black shirt with a blazer, jeans, or pair of shoes, you will look like a million bucks! Last but not least, black retains heat. If you happen to walk outside on a sunny day, you will be warmer if you wear black. That’s why the color is traditionally worn during the cooler months.
