Gents: Your old suit just got the boot!
BIG AND BOLD, way old.
Replacing the old is sleek and slim..

 
You asked for it, so here's your guide to the latest trend in men's wear....

1)  THE JACKET IS SLIMMER IN EVERY ASPECT. The new, narrower fit is accompanied by a thinner lapel, higher button stance, and softer shoulders. Who says men can't show off their curves ;) ?     
 
2)  THE TIES ARE SLIM. The shirts, as well, are a more snug fit with fitted shoulders and slightly shorter sleeves.  Out with too much heavy fabric, in with a more heat-friendly look.  Have at it!!         
 
3)  TROUSERS ARE MORE FITTED, yet are very "air-y" making for great summer-to-fall comfort.  Short inseams and a lower rise also partake in this pantalon perfection!  Of course, the flat front as opposed to the pleat accent the new, trim proportions of the jacket.

We gave you the top 5 summer trends, now it's time for the top 5 summer fends!!!



1) Time Flies When You're Having Sun!!
As you all know, Barbie turned fifty this year and apparently she never met our BFF..SPF!!
Put on the sun block people!! If you're a gal who wants to stay made-up while in the sun, go for a tinted moisturizer with a little SPF in it!  Love Chanel Precision and if you're watching your budget,  Maybelline and Covergirl both have wonderful options!! 

2) Suck My Kiss
Caution: beware of lip gloss!!
Want that sexy pout in summer's drought? Try using something with a little SPF!! A blistering bouche sure is not becoming!! Soft lips, Bert's bees, and Laura Mercier (exfoliant plus moisturizer which makes for a dynamic duo) all have a variety of options in various colors. Pucker up!!

3) Fun with no sun!!
Caution: We don't do leather in this kind of weather( on our faces that is)
Try the Tan towellettes! Tan one, tan all! (tantowel.com) This fool proof, fake bake leaves you with a glowing, summer sheen minus the streaky, oompa loompa look! Be bronzed, baby!!

4) Got a little gleam?
Clean&Clear oil blotters soak up unwanted oil on your visage! Who wants a mirror face? Get a compact!

5) Don't sweat the small stuff!!!
It's repulsive, but it's only human to sweat in one hundred plus weather! Try secret clinical deodorant. It's budget friendly and it works miracles!! You sure can wear that silk in the summer, baby!!

6) Nervous About Being Nappy???
Pull those locks up and be happy! A chic chignon is summer perfection! Concerned with the scalp burn? Try Clarins oil for the body and hair with SPF to preserve both your scalp and your strands! Who wants flakes -a-flyin'?
