Top 3 High-Tops

High tops sneakers have definitely become fashion staples in any guy's wardrobe. They're so versatile and there's just some sort of mystical appeal to their shapes that instantly makes you feel more confident about your legs - I think it's the covering of the ankles, but I digress.  

First up, I am absolutely in love with this pair from Maison Martin Margiela's SS2011 collection. The earth-tone color is definitely on trend right now and the suede material makes it wearable around the year. It also has this understated glam-rock feel to it at the same time (see the metal chain details?) which I am totally on board with. They are now available online here.

Quilted leather have become a signature for Marc Jacobs shoes. These ones are from the brand's FW2011 collection and I'm really feeling the black ones because of the total badass vibe. (Leather mixed with suede AND gold metal details, anyone?) The brown ones, on the other hand, look very desert boots-like and are great to wear with jeans if you're into the explorer/safari look, which is very hot right now.
Finally, what is Spring / Summer without some colors? This is not the first time Missoni has collaborated with Converse and I have loved every single one of their collaborations. These are no exception. They are perfect for SS2011 with their colorful pattern and Missoni prints are just mesmerizing. I would pair these up with a pair of short shorts in a heartbeat. They are now available online here.

SS2011 Shopping List Item #1: Leather Belts with a Twist

It always bothers me a little re: how fashion houses showcase their Spring collections almost a year in advance, but then I guess everyone needs some buffer to shop for the trendy looks that are being featured in the fashion shows. And god knows how difficult it is to shop with a purpose in mind. It's always when you shop without having a specific goal in mind you find the perfect pieces!

Having that said, we still need a general direction to prevent us getting caught off guard when great pieces come our way. So I've decided to compile a short (but sweet) shopping list for SS2011 based on the looks designers have been pushing for the coming Spring/Summer! Here's item #1...

1. Brownish Leather Belt with a Twist

Is it me or is every major SS2011 men's collection featuring these brown / camel belts with a twist? I think the trend started some time in FW2010 and ever since it has been spreading around like wild fire!

It's everything I look for in accessories: an understated color that still pops and a twist that brings an effortless sophistication (literally so in this case!).

What I personally find interesting also is that these looks could easily have been picked out from Fall lookbooks with the grayish, earth-tone palette and the knits - not typically and not necessary something that shouts Spring.

Stay tuned for more items on my list in the coming weeks!
