June 23, 2010

With the music festival season starting soon, let's take a look at what to stock up on before heading into the crowds at Lilith, Live at Squamish and the like:

Aviator sunglasses: Aviators are must-have items for the summer.

Men's Fashion Week in Milan: What Comes, What stays, and What Goes

With the shows wrapping up in Milan June 22, here are some of the most important trends from part one of men's fashion season.

What comes?

Now, they could be paying them back, but not just with a simple, tight-denim leg cloth, but with something even more daring: the man jegging. Fashionista and The Cut have both confirmed the onset of a new era of flexible-waistband jeans leggings for guys, if you like it or not. Versace, Emporio Armani, and John Varvatos all presented versions of the trend, and Burberry even made skintight leather pants for fashion-forward bikers.
