DRESSING UP YOUR SPRING / SUMMER STYLE: 2024: MEN’S ACCESSORIES: CHARVET.

DRESSING UP YOUR SPRING / SUMMER STYLE: 2024 : MEN’S ACCESSORIES: CHARVET.

Hello everyone out there , as always it’s good to see you , I’m back with another one. Today I am kicking off my SP/SU series , and for the first installment I wanted to jump into the satorialist side of things. , by speaking on and introducing you to a brand that is truly on the luxury side when it comes to men’s accessories , they also do women’s wear as well but for today’s vlog/blog we are going to zero in on men’s wear or accessories. Now I have to confess I’m a little late to the party , so to speak , when it comes to the brand CHARVET, as this is one of those brands that has been around for ages and still maintains to be relevant down to this day. I saw someone speak on this brand on TikTok and it really peaked my interest , because what he was saying was that there five things every stylish man should own. One of those five things being a pocket square from CHARVET , reason being is that they exemplify what high-end quality is and basically you wouldn’t find a better pocket square. Even though that opinion on the pocket square is truly subjective , it still interested me to look further into the brand and what it is they do aside from really nice pocket squares. Well as I looked a little further into the CHARVET brand I found that they are even more known for their custom dress shirts , arguably the best custom dress shirt in the game , once again subjective. But to get a custom made CHARVET dress shirt , you have to travel to Paris to the CHARVET showroom store in order to get the full bespoke experience. However if you are not planning to do this there are a few retailers that do carry the CHARVET line of dress shirts , suede slippers , ties , pocket squares and their robes. I will link a few of those for you at the end of this vlog / blog , but let me give you a fair warning , this is a true lux brand and it is priced as so. Owning a piece from the CHARVET brand falls under what I call the fashionable investment category , just to give you a little bit more context on that , the shirts can run you upwards of ( $675.00 ) and the ties can take you upwards of ( $295.00 ) a brand that is made for the true satorialist. The reason that I wanted to cover this brand to kick off my SP/SU series is because I believe that dressing up is truly a lost art and so many do not know how to wear or style a suit , suit separates , or even how to wear a tie or pocket square. In my fashionable opinion not only is it crucial to know some of the best brands to help you to dress up your style , but it’s equally as important to just plain know how to dress up and dress up correctly. So now lets have a look at how to wear and style CHARVET.

ALL LOOKS IN THIS VIDEO HAVE BEEN STYLED AND ARRANGED BY JMADDD STYLES.

NEW & FASHIONABLY NOTEWORTHY COLLABORATIONS: DAP x GAP

NEW & FASHIONABLY NOTEWORTHY COLLABORATIONS: DAP x GAP:

Hello everyone out there , as always it’s good to see you , I’m back with another one. As the seasons change from winter to spring , there are a whole new crop of collaborations and drops that are set to hit the market , and that’s what we are going to talk about today. One of the latest collaborations to hit the fashion market just in time for the spring season , and if you are at all familiar with this vlog/blog , then you know there is nothing that I like better than a good fashionable collabo. The question is who or what is the latest fashionable collaboration that I am speaking of that is new and fashionably noteworthy? Well all questions deserve answers , so here it is…The who is none other than Harlems own originator of luxury logo heavy street fashion Dapper Dan , and the what is GAP. Over the last few years or so almost no one has pulled off more successful fashionable collabo’s than the one and only Dapper Dan , I mean for those out there that don’t know , since his reemergence to the mainstream scene he’s collaborated with the likes of GUCCI , PUMA , even PEPSI to name a few. But if you are not familiar and you call yourself a student of fashion then you need to do your googles and get caught up . However getting back on point , he’s back with his what I believe to be his third drop with GAP for his latest DAP for GAP collection. You Know what they say , the third times the charm , in this case that statement would be true because with each GAP drop the collection has gotten more extensive. Of course that would be the result when each collection either sold out or just did impressive numbers , and thats always the key to return business , is be successful or successful enough , but thats another subject for another time. To get back on point again this latest drop has expanded from not just hoodies but now the collection includes denim jackets , jeans , khakis , and even denim Japanese inspired Kimono jackets. Also important to know this new collection is moderately priced and reasonably affordable with the items ranging from 49.95$ to upwards of 158.00$ , making it very easy to own a piece of the new DAP for GAP collection. Now I have been doing all this talking about the collection but still have not shown it to you , so let’s have a look , and I will be right back.

All looks in this video have been styled and arranged by JMADDD STYLES.

So there it is , the all new and latest collection of DAP for GAP, now I know what I think of it , the question is what do you think about it ? As always…I LET YOU TELL IT…but feel free to sound off in the comments and let me know if you are feeling this latest drop from Dapper Dan and GAP. To shop this look you can log onto http://www.gap.com , or find out which GAP stores are carrying the line and stop through in person and have an up close first hand look at the collection.

NEW YORK CITY NIGHTS & DAYS: NYFW HIGHLIGHTS 2024.

NEW YORK CITY NIGHTS & DAYS: NYFW HIGHLIGHTS 2024.

Hello everyone out there, as always it’s good to see you, I’m back with another one. Well it’s about that time of year or as I often call it , the fashionable time of year. It’s when all the fashionable people gather across the globe from Paris to New York , to see what’s new for the upcoming season or who is next to throw their hat in the ring and possibly become the next big thing in fashion. Everyone wants to see what the new hot color or the latest trends will be or not be. Often enough if you listen carefully and pay attention to what many say, it’s believed that NYFW in itself has lost some of it’s luster and popularity or the purpose of what it is supposed to be. But thats really one of those subjective opinions and even answers , and I say that because if you have never been in the past especially during the Bryant Park years then you have nothing to compare it to. However from my own personal perspective , I came in towards the end of the Bryant Park years , and even if you were not privy to actually attend some of the shows , just to be in the city during that time getting to see some of the smaller shows was still an amazing experience. I will say though even if it’s not the same as it once was , it’s still a really nice experience to have and see if you are or wish to be apart of the fashion industry in one way or another. This year I didn’t spend a long time in the city so it was kind of a whirlwind experience so to speak. I attended a few shows for the up and coming in the fashion game courtesy of THE GLOBAL FASHION COLLECTIVE, this was the first time that I was able to attend their presentation , but I have to say that I was impressed with their collection of up and coming designer shows , and would definitely go back and see those again. Aside from that having the chance to hit a few retailers and see what’s new as well as having the chance to get a few new pick ups is always a win, win situation. Overall has NYFW lost some of its luster? Perhaps , but as always it was a really good and enjoyable experience.

MORE FASHION & STYLE TRENDS 2024.

MORE FASHION & STYLE TRENDS 2024.

Hello everyone out there , as always it’s good to see you , I’m back with another one. Last week I decided to start a new vlog/blog segment: STYLE TRENDS 2024 , and I say that it was new because I usually don’t jump directly into trends. But I liked how that went from a YouTube perspective , so I decided to come back this week, continue with the same segment and rename it MORE FASHION & STYLE TRENDS 2024. As I was saying before fashion and style trends are completely subjective in my fashionable opinion , but they are always fun to take a look at and speak on. With that said , lets get into it , today I wanted to jump into the all new MONCLER x ROC NATION collabo , and as I often say , you know there is nothing that I like better than a good fashionable collabo. But this latest fashionable collaboration is another one in my fashionable opinion that you never saw coming , and that you didn’t know that you needed to see. But those are usually the best collaborations. Now in the case of The all new MONCLER x ROC NATION collabo , when I first saw it , I automatically thought that it was worth taking a look at and speaking on from a style perspective , but fair warning this is once again another one of those limited capsule collections that does not fall under the affordable category. In fact it’s the complete opposite and highly unaffordable , however that is really subjective also , But you probably know like I know , the more expensive something is , the more people want a piece of it and that’s what makes most luxury brands work because it drives the demand up even if most can’t really afford it , they will try to find a way to obtain at least a small piece of it for novelty or collectors purposes. All in all I know what I think of it , the real question is what do you the consumer think of it? As always I LET YOU TELL IT , feel free to sound off in the comments though to let me know what you think. From there I want to once again travel back in time a little and speak on a fashion trend from the 90’s and early 2000’s that is seriously on the come back ,after all you can’t talk about style trends without revisiting the past for trends that are on the way back. The returning trend that I’m speaking of this week is the return of the motorcycle leather racing jacket , this trend was really popular in the 90’s from a music video perspective , but wasn’t a look that you saw on everybody. That was probably because of the price point of the jackets at the time and not everyone knew where to find the jackets , none the less it was one of my favorite past trends and looks and I’m completely here for the return of it , because the jackets create such an individual and stylish look. That’s my take on it though , the real question as always is , what do you think? I LET YOU TELL IT , but like I said earlier feel free to sound off in the comments , to let me know.

STYLE TRENDS 2024.

STYLE TRENDS 2024.

Hello everyone out there , as always it’s good to see you , I’m back with another one. Welcome to my second vlog/blog post of 2024 , and the subject matter for today is trends, trends in fashion to be exact. Now I personally believe that fashion trends are absolutely subjective , but that dosen’t mean that they are not fun to take a look at and have a conversation about. the ,most important thing to remember about fashion trends is that not every trend is necessarily for you and your don’t have to go along with every trend just because the runways and influencers told you to. Also important to keep in mind is sometimes you have to create your own trends and your own styles and individual looks , and if you pull that off correctly then that makes you a trend setter and not always a follower of trends. However today I’m going to speak on and show you three different categories of trends , starting with a brand that has been really big on the underground streetwear side of fashion and that is Tremaine Emory’s DENIM TEARS brand. Now I am a little late with this one as this brand burst on the scene a few years ago , but has gained more commercialized mainstream notoriety within the last year or so , the problem with a brand like this that has such a good underground run and success , by the time it reaches the eyes of the mainstream masses is, it’s no longer as popular amongst the underground following that got it to be as popular as it was in the first place , but in some cases that’s ok especially from a financial standpoint. From there I wanted to flash you back to the 90’s and early 2000’s for recurring trends , the recurring trend is often one of my favorite types of trends to really pay attention to , cause it brings back styles and looks from days gone past , that never really went anywhere. It also puts those looks in the eyes of a generation that has never seen them , in this case I’m speaking of the ever popular AVIREX leather jacket and the CLARKS WALLABEE ankle boot shoe. Both of these items are considered to be streetwear classics , the most amazing thing to me is that both items are still the same price that they were at the height of their popularity when they were first introduced to the masses. The AVIREX leather jacket , still retails for $1,298.00 and the CLARKS WALLABEE still comes in at a price point of $170.00. Showing that there is still a want for these items be it from the original fan base or the new generation that are just seeing these looks. From there lets jump into the return of one of my favorite items to make a come back and that is the return of the classic FILA and SERGIO TACCHINI velour tracksuit both of these items were major must haves in the 90’s and now they are back and they look just as good now as they did those many years ago , signifying the timelessness of both of these brands that both still command a retail price point between $166.00 to $290.00. Then from there lets return to 2024 for what’s trending on the runways , and unless you have been living under a fashionable rock , then you know that PHARRELL has taken over as creative director of LOUIS VUITTON menswear. Just about a little over or under a week or two ago he premiered his latest collection at Paris Fashion Week , but his first collection as creative director just recently hit online and at retail , now there are some really good novelty pieces in this collection by that I mean items that are very individual and you won’t everyone on the street wearing them. In fact looking at the price point of this latest collection , the most you might see these pieces is on stage or the runways or some celebrity that really didn’t pay for it or didn’t pay full price for it. But I still will say that I overall like the look of a lot of these pieces that premiered in the collection and went to retail. Basically these new looks from PHARRELL and LV are not for the fashionably faint of heart , the price points for this new collection range from $485.00 to upwards of $12,400.00. Most definitely not to be considered affordable , but I am looking forward to seeing what else PHARRELL has in store for the LV brand.
