Last Chance to Look Preppy! (Not Really)

If you're into the preppy look (and who's to say, you might be) or if you're just a scavenger for great deals, check out the Ralph Lauren Polo.com Last Chance Sale. Prepsters, go nuts, but for the rest of us, here are a few choice picks from the Men's Sale. Sizes are limited.

POLO RALPH LAUREN Congressman Pinstriped Suit	PURPLE LABEL Multistripe Asser Shirt
PURPLE LABEL Luxury Cotton Fleece Pant	POLO RALPH LAUREN Prospect Chino Pant
POLO RALPH LAUREN Cashmere V-Neck Sweater	POLO RALPH LAUREN Handknit Ragg T-Neck Sweater

Great Miu Miu Suit

Awesome. Miu Miu isn't just Prada's weak, goofy, and fairly insipid younger sibling. It's actually got some style all its own. Check out this suit!

Gray Miu Miu suit, $951. At Miu Miu stores. Burberry Prorsum white shirt, $310. At selected Burberry stores. Prada hat. Vintage tie and pocket square, stylist's own.

Top Men's Collections and Looks You Can Use

DNR has ranked the top men's fall 2005 collections. It's generally a decent breakdown. But of course, I've got plenty to say about it. (Keep scrolling all the way to the bottom -- I know the pictures are huge.)

Dolce & Gabbana is at the top, and why not? "Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana proved yet again that sex sells -- especially on the runway."

#2: Raf Simons, who has been busy designing for the future -- sometime circa Blade Runner.



This is not for you. Raf is experimenting with the oversized, the baggy, and the high-waisted. Look, but don't touch.

#4: Dior. Meanwhile, Hedi Slimane has gone back in time to the 70s -- and it is AWESOME.







#4 Emporio Armani. The new look rocks -- think "tailored jackets" -- even if no one seems to realize that it looks a lot like Tom Ford's last collections for Gucci.








This is a great look:


#6 Costume National. Weird Russian thing going on. No, trust me, this is weird.




#8 Louis Vuitton. DNR correctly picks up on the Russian influence here, too. (What the hell is going on?) Again, though, no one seems to notice the suits and blazers channeling Gucci. It's the same look! Does no one notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

#10 Kris Van Assche. Ignoring the fact that the runway show is creepily evocative of Kevin Federline (fedoras, v-neck t-shirts, unshaveness) the line actually looks like something you could wear. Of course, it helps if you're an underweight male model. Or, I guess, a backup dancer.
