I Set the Experts Straight: Looks for Spring

Conde Nast-owned Style.com's Men site launched this week, and about time, too. Much of it is culled from GC, so that's good if you're not a subscriber. If you are, then you're seeing it again. (At least it beats seeing Esquire again, huh?) They have a lot of information here, much of it trending toward the haute. And the idiotic. Luckily, that's where Stylezilla comes in. I sort through the crap so you don't have to.

One of the key features of the site is a look at Top Ten Spring Fashions for Men. Here's what works, what doesn't, and what shows that someone over at Style.com just wasn't thinking.

From Givenchy Men

Looks You Can Lose:

The pink belt makes you look like an idiot. Go with black and you won't get beaten for trying to retread a tired old hipster look. The white getup on the right is just not wearable by anyone who lives in this decade and isn't on safari or stranded in a desert.

Nevertheless, here are a few more cool dress ideas from elsewhere on their site:




Valentino Men. Still my favorite.


(Wear browns carefully -- they can make you look like a sad sack if done poorly. Be careful how you match your brown suit. Here, we see it done correctly, by Versace.)

Two other looks courtesy of Style.com. I just threw these in here for laughs. Dress like this at your peril.


I'm speechless about the fellow on the left. The guy on the right looks like the anti-Prisoner. Blah.
