It's no secret every girl loves a good sale.  But guys?  Another story.  I know the longer my bf has to rummage through racks, the more beer will be consumed at the end of the day.  So, what's a guy got to do to scoop up some deals?  Head to your local premium outlets, with one thing on your mind: accessories.  They make an outfit instantly look put together, and if you buy quality, timeless pieces (within your budget), it's a sure fire way to at least look like you know what you're doing when you get dressed in the morning.  Premium outlets can be a total cluster, but it's a great way to buy designer duds that would otherwise be totally unattainable.  Plus, with accessories, there are no long lines for the dressing room, and not much browsing.  You're in and out...just in time to grab 1 beer...ok, maybe 2.

We all know that a classic chambray shirt is a staple in every woman's wardrobe, but what about for dudes?  I'd say it's more than a staple, it's a necessity.  Practically every men's line offers some version of the classic oxford, it's appropriate for any season or occasion, and is as comfortable as your favorite hoodie.  These two dudes know how to rock the look, one for work and one for the weekend.  Just don't pair it with jeans...even the coolest of cool can barely pull off denim on denim.

There's no denying it's a girl's world in this design blogosphere.  I know most of my readers are female (and anyone who dares leave a comment is DEFINITELY female...aside from my bf), and I must admit, I don't really know much when it comes to men's fashion.  But, I think it's time to learn.  Whether you are a dude looking to learn about men's fashion right along with me, or a girl looking to find the perfect gift for your brother or bf, hopefully this new feature will leave you feeling inspired!  'Cuz that is what this whole blogging thing is all about, right?

Today's lesson...short and sweet.  Favorite (semi-affordable) brands for men's fashion: J. Crew, Uniqlo, H&M.  How to wear it?  Mix and match.  No one wants to look like a mannequin.  Even though their thighs do look fab in those colored trousers.
