Things at Urban Outfitters That Don't Suck OR I Read these Crappy Catalogs So You Don't Have To

I was flipping through the Urban Outfitters catalog last night and happened upon, yes, a handful of items that don't suck.

Typically, I don't like to recommend Urban Outfitters because their styles tend toward the common, the trite, the seriously "over" in terms of men's fashion. But there are a few gems -- all of which are pretty cheap, to boot.

Use these to patch holes in your winter/spring wardrobe, or class things up a bit.

Velvet Blazer in Green

A little edgier... Triple 5 Soul Mockneck Blazer

Uncut Cord Blazer in Black and Maroon

A decent-looking dress shirt (never mind that they call it "button-down" -- it's not) in lavender, pink and dark blue.

Don't go crazy with layering them like these wannabe hipsters. These are dress shirts, and aren't really made to accommodate massive under layers. Try a blazer or sweater over 'em instead.

Acrylic/wool V-Neck sweaters (I'd recommend the brown, black and charcoal colors.)

Try under a blazer for an extra-sharp look. The brown, olive and burgundy look very collegiate, if that's your thing.

A good-looking brown belt for your jeans.
Don't wear it with black shoes!

Felony Pinstripe Blazer in black and lavender.
