Pinning Pinning Pinning!

Well it seems that pinterest has really appealed to our Obsessive Compulsion to clip inspiring bits and organize them like a furious squirrel. It has been the thief stealing all my time the last few weeks which is why I have been neglecting this Blog. I apologize and for those who aren't into it, I will post some of my favorite images here. Most recently there have been the Women's Resort 2013 and Spring Men's 2013, the later of which is the intended subject of this post.

(On a quick side note, I have been fixated on Burnt Orange and Teal Blue for the past few months, apparently my psychic powers (which are only good for trend forecasting) have been going off because orange and blue are all over the new collections. I have decided that from now on when I get an itch towards a color or particular style I'm going to announce it right here and see if it comes true or not. An experiment if you will indulge me.)

Ok, back to the point, here are enexile's pics of  best in show for Men's Spring 2013...

Dsquared 

It's hard to see, but the models all wore multi strands of rosaries, which if you are familiar with our website you'll know we LOVE! Love the clean cut on the trousers and the silhouette in all.

The chain on the belt is a long time favorite of ours and the shoes here...the studded creepers are the coolest!

The lean yet not too tight cut of these leathers is totally classic.  And the just off the side zip keeps it classy.

Blue jeans, white button down shirt, skinny black tie and black leather jacket? Classic.

 Diesel Black Gold

This midnight blue suit is such a cool alternative to the standard black. I love that you can wear it more casually, or at least seem more casual.  Love the silhouette, lean but not hipster skinny.

Again with this beautiful blue, this has a touch of that 1950's sharkskin feel in the  fabric as well as being the single button. Classic retro style. Nix the sandals and I Love it.

Shorts are always a sticky widget for me on the fellas, especially if they hit above the knee as they do here, but I'm digging the rolled cuff. They feel more like casual trousers than shorts and that makes it all okay. I'm also a sucker for a cross body bag on a boy. Looks so easy and effortless. And the striped vest is a charming nod to the pocket watch set of the turn of the century.

Woolrich Woolen Mills

A sucker for plaid. This is so adorable and snarky I just can't express how much I dig it. 

Again, that rolled cuff has so much personality, it totally goes with the crooked bow tie. Love it. This look is so charmingly accessible, anybody could wear it, even the ladies.

Hardy Amies

Here is that midnight blue again, and I do love the tuxedo.  But what kills me are the glasses, these glasses are so so cool, there has got to be a Great Gatsby reference here.

Iceberg 

The clothes here are fine and dandy, though the scarf is a bit much... all I see are the Shoes! These shoes are showstoppers!!

Balmain

The trench coat is a staple, and for men it can often be too plain, too fashion-y or  too  macho. This version is classic yet modern and the military elements make it feel timeless. Well done Balmain, as always...

Military seems to be the theme in this collection and I appreciate that it's not hitting you over the head. It's the details that feel familiar ( the buttons )  that make it seem so classic. 

I don't think I have ever approved of a leather shirt for a man before this one...Bravo! 

The jacket is not the beast part here, though I do like it  - it's the jeans. These jeans are really cool. The low slanted zip pocket and the seamed knees are not obvious, just there making you look a little closer. 

Looks like that same jean design in a pant. With the jacket and the dark shirt, Yes. Awesome.

A bit more on the nose here with the military reference.  I really like the stripe in the pant - either military or tuxedo, it's a welcome detail that I think always looks smart. The jacket is cut beautifully and I can't imagine it looking anything but sharp on any man.
