Belisi Look of the Week
That 70s Guy
While leisure suits are thankfully still only appropriate for 70s theme parties and Halloween, suits and fashions are decidedly more 70s inspired for Spring ‘08, especially for younger suit wearers. One notable difference is that you won’t see bell bottoms with these slimming suits. For an urban, edgy look that says you’re hip and fashionable, try these styles on for size:
First things first. Eire is short for Eireann, which means Ireland (as in 'Éirinn go breá).
If you’re not used to saying words like trousers, tweed or herringbone, you’d better brush up on your early 20th century vocabulary. There are many looks popular this fall and winter but one of the most distinct is the early 20th century style inspired by our fair Irish friends. We’re not suggesting that you suit up in knickers but you might consider picking up a few plaid, tweed, wool and herringbone pieces to add to your wardrobe.
You’ve probably realized by now that jeans aren’t just jeans. Some jeans just look better, and fit better. But while you’re all for donning a pair of premium denim, you’re not as keen on all the fancy pocket designs—at least not for every occasion.

From Sean Combs to style guru Jay Manuel, stars are hitting the red carpet with a surprising accessory—the pocket square. Once very popular among Hollywood’s elite, the pocket square disappeared for the most part. The good news is that this elegant trend has returned. Another way male stars stand out at award shows and other public events is with a sharp looking suit and a luxury silk scarf.

While the direction seems scattered, one trend is consistent: men’s fashion is taking a decidedly retroactive/futuristic and more feminine direction, with sleeker, narrow lines, geometric patterns and bold colors and prints.
Style Cues from April Masini, author of “Date Out Of Your League”
Before we look at some fundamentals of every well dressed man's wardrobe, let's talk about why clothes are so gosh darn important to us women. Let's get into women's philosophy of clothes.
Just kidding! You don't have to worry in the least about why we like clothes. Nope. All you have to know is that we do.
It would seem that men have it easy when it comes to fashion. Shirt, pants, shoes--done. In some worlds this simplistic approach is sufficient but for the fashion-conscious man, there are trends to watch and designers to fawn over.
