1. Score a Hat Trick

You're already swagger-jacking your grandfather's sweaters. Try dressing down your ultramodern suit by donning his fishing hat, too.

2. Color your Money
3. Take the Belt Way

Wallets are always black or brown. Why? That's what people will wonder when you pull out your green-wrapped greenbacks.

It doesn't look like much on the rack at the army-navy, but when you put a black webbed belt in a more stylish context, you won't miss your leathers.

4. Start a Chain Reaction

Think of it as anti-bling. You want it matte, not shiny. And it should be long enough to hang below your tee's neckline.

5. Be a Band Apart

Yin and yang, dude: Take a fancy watch, match it with a sporty strap, and be prepared to turn heads.

6. Follow the Yellow Brick Road
7. Cause a Dust Up

If you've been keeping up with your GQ in recent months, you know suede bucks with F-you soles have become a favorite.

We're all about the dusty palette this year—pastel colors that have been walked down a dirt road. 

 8. Split your Ends

You want to look put-together, not like you spent too much time at the mirror obsessing. A frayed pocket square throws it away a little.

9. Expand your Portfolio

We like to think of this as business on your body, party in your hand.

10. Fix you Weave

Wool knit ties are for winter. Grab a paper-thin silk version to complement your cotton suits.

11. A Higher  Bar
12. Key it in

Color is king this season, but if you're hesitant, here's a subtle, affordable place to start: These tie bars, in four off-the-wall tones, cost fifteen bucks each.
Fact: No matter what shape your schnoz, you'll look good in shades with this ultra-forgiving keyhole nose bridge. Persol brought them back; now tons of designers are in on the action.

Your New Sunglasses

A new spin on a classic frame, this Alain Mikli and Subcrew collaboration — the "MR. SAY" pair of shades — is both classic and novel in way that won't have you disappating into the everyday. They are the sort of sunglasses that will make you stand out a little, turning you into style leader rather than a trend-follower.

More details at Hypebeast

French eyewear designer Alain Mikli continues to establish a strong presence within the Asian market with its latest collaborative project for an early 2012 release. Building upon the past projects with Hong Kong’s Subcrew, the latest venture sees the inclusion of Jay Chou’s retail store PHANTACi to release a new style of sunglasses, branded the “MR. SAY.” Combining the label’s like-minded mentalities, the result is a minimalist pair of black-framed sunglasses that reflect the understated style preferences of the label’s founders.

5 New Trends

This was a newer, darker, more sober season — one full of the blue-blacks (definitely the new color for now), and plenty of leather and metal detailing on clothes and accessories that will suit you much better for work than they will for a weekend lounging with your friends.

The New Color: Blue-Black

In a season that can be explained, in one word, as "dark," the carry-over color from spring — blue — was seen throughout nearly every collection, in both sportswear and suiting. This time, though, there was nothing oceanic about it. Instead, designers relied on an inky shade that was darker than navy but not quite noir, as shown here at Paul Smith (left) and Corneliani (right).

The New Texture: Natural

While shearling has been around for quite a few seasons now, Milan and Paris showed many wild coats that had the sheep's fleece practically herding itself out of giant collars on coats (at Lanvin, above left). And, on a more controversial note, other collections — like Prada (right) and Salvatore Ferragamo, used astrakhan fur for their statement outerwear — known also as Persian Lamb, it's made from the pelts of newborn lambs.

The New Accent: Leather

With futuristic, almost Matrix-like looks becoming prominent in the dark runways of Europe, it's no surprise that leather — mostly in inky shades of black — was a go-to textile for outerwear, sleek jacket details, and even the sort of pants that many men would be wise to avoid. And, while wearing a head-to-toe leather suit might not ever fly at your office (Hermès, right), the YSL jacket (left) and other pieces from the shows are a good reminder that, next time you want to wear cowhide, you can branch out past your usual motorcycle or bomber jacket.

The New Shoe: Metal-Detailed

After seeing some nice steel-toe-effect Grenson shoes at Pitti Uomo, it was cool to see many designers — like Costume National (left) and Louis Vuitton (right) — actually adding metallic accents to the toes and heels of their new pairs for Fall/Winter 2012. Others, like Dries van Noten, even added horse bits to the back of their brogues — take that, Gucci — suggesting that last spring's colored soles have made way for a silver-tinged season ahead.

The New Outfit: Playfully Tailored

Suits took a dominant role on the runways this season, pushing sportswear aside for city-ready looks that seemed to suggest men should throw away their denim entirely next fall. But, these weren't traditional looks with Wall Street-standard topcoats over them: Instead, designers like Christopher Bailey at Burberry (left) and Umit Benan, newly installed at Trussardi (right), experimented with both cropped and oversized outerwear silhouettes, all which made their jauntily-cut suits all the more fresh for a new season ahead. Everything's perfectly cut, sure, even if offered in a silhouette you've never worn before.

Men's hairstyles in 2012

From askmen.com, presented seven of the latest men’s hairstyles for 2012 and provide you with tips on how to make them work for you. They broken each style down by both the classic and trendy takes, for those looking for an alternative. 

Double Slick

Classic: In some form or another, a sleek slick has regularly appeared in men’s hairstyles over the past few years, largely due to the popularity of period dramas such as Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire. This year, the twist is two slicks instead of one. To wear the double slick in a more classic way, like actor Chris Hemsworth, you’ll need to grow your hair to medium length. Next, create a center part close to your forehead using your fingers, but don’t be too precise about it -- you’re going for a wavy look that combines refinement with roguishness. Lastly, use a minimal amount of gel or styling cream and a wide-toothed comb to gently maneuver your front hair slightly upward and toward the side.

Trendy Take: To adopt 2012’s double slick in a less traditional way, check out the style sported by actor Michael Pitt. Reminiscent of the sharp hairstyles favored by men in the early 20th century, this cut is characterized by hair that is significantly longer on the top than it is on the sides. To get this style, visit your barber and ask him to trim the hair on the crown of your head to a medium length and to remove weight from the sides of your head -- the more daring you are, the shorter the bottom layers can go. At home, comb all of your hair back with a touch of styling product and run your fingers through your hair to achieve the double slick. This hairstyle works best with straight hair.

Indie-Rock Front

Classic: The cool, mod-ish look that has become synonymous with indie rock was highly influential in determining men’s hairstyles for 2012. Whether you love this genre or your musical tastes lie elsewhere, this hairstyle is incredibly easy to wear. A classic version of this cut, like the one worn by Lionel Messi, simply involves asking your barber to snip some piecey layers into your hair and then brushing the front forward before you leave for work.

Trendy Take: Given that 2012’s indie rock hairstyle is largely about a full head of hair that women will want to run their hands through, your focus should be on choosing products that will help you get strong, shiny strands. For a hipper variant of the indie front, add a volumizing mousse to your hair-care routine to get some lift like Jimmy Fallon's, and then finger-style your hair for a purposefully undone look. This style lends itself beautifully to naturally wavy hair.

Short Buzz

Classic: Last year, an ultra-defined buzz cut was the go-to hairstyle for black men. This year, the square-shaped cut remains the leading style for a good reason: It makes any man’s face appear more masculine, it’s easy to maintain and it’s sharp and sexy at the same time. Cam Newton and Drake have both recently been photographed sporting classic examples of this cut.

Trendy Take: In 2011, the unique way to wear this cut was by incorporating asymmetrical designs. For 2012, however, trade the fancy hairstyling that no one will see unless they’ve got a bird's-eye view of your scalp in favor of stylish sides that will get everyone’s attention. You’ll notice Ludacris’ style, for instance, deviates from the perfectly square. Alternatively, shearing off most of your locks like Don Lemon is another fashion-forward way to wear this style.

Rockabilly

Classic: Originally pioneered by musicians like Johnny Cash and Elvis, the ’50s pompadour is in the midst of a revival. As long as you go with a toned-down pomp, as seen in the Dolce & Gabbanna and Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012 runway shows, this hairstyle works even in a conservative environment. Achieve a low-key pompadour by using mousse to coax only your front strands into standing up, then brush them slightly backward and to the side.
 

Trendy Take: If you are employed in a creative field or it’s your day off from your suit-and-tie job, consider rocking a refined quiff, which was also showcased in a variety of major 2012 shows. Begin by working mousse throughout your entire head, and then have fun playing around. Just remember to keep the biggest lift in the front of your head and finish with a misting of hairspray to ensure your style stays put.

Messy Curls

Classic: It’s a fact that curly hair tends to have a mind of its own. The trick to working with this hair type is to get a great cut and then let your curls do their thing. In 2012, that means having your hair cut much shorter on the sides than on your crown. With buzz-cut sides and a peaked front, Oscar Pistorius’ ‘do is the gold standard for a classy, office-appropriate look. To keep everything polished, remember to use an anti-frizz product to control fly-aways.

Trendy Take: Curly haired guys with an artsy side and a devil-may-care attitude will favor James Franco’s interpretation of this hairstyle, in which locks are still longer on top than on the sides but are overall longer everywhere. Another notable feature of this easygoing style is that while it may appear messy, curls are actually well defined, so you’ll need to throw a curl-controlling cream or shampoo into your grooming routine.

Chin-Length Layers

Classic: Surf culture past and present has been a major theme in fashion as of late, with models being sent down runways sporting rash guards with blazers and long, natural hair. For a sleek option, model your hairstyle on Viggo Mortensen’s gradually layered locks. As you can see, medium to long layers can work well on straight hair regardless of your age, but what really counts here is a top-notch haircut that will air dry to perfection.

Trendy Take: To wear chin-length layers in a very of-the-moment way, see Ashton Kutcher’s fresh take on the ’90s grunge-surfer look. The actor’s locks are only lightly layered and his part has a somewhat haphazard appearance that’s straight out of the '1990s. What keeps Kutcher’s hairstyle fresh, however, is its healthy (not greasy) shine. If you opt for this natural style, too, avoid scraggly locks by not making the mistake of skipping haircuts.

Short And Even

Classic: An all-over short cut of a uniform length, as recently seen on Justin Timberlake, will emerge as one of 2012's favorite men’s hairstyles. In addition to being a wash-and-go style that’s ideal for active dudes, this look exudes clean-cut American charm that will pair well with the minimalist ensembles you’ll be seeing in stores throughout 2012.

Trendy Take: Take the good-boy edge off this cut, as Michael Fassbender has done, by leaving your front just a little longer than the rest of your hair and using a smidge of wax to get a piece-y effect. This style is particularly recommended for men in the early stages of hair loss. Also, if you’ve got a rounder face or soft facial features, consider growing some scruffy facial hair to bring a strong, masculine vibe to this style. 

Changing something like your hairstyle requires minimal effort but offers a wealth of returns, because not only will you receive compliments from others, but you’ll look and feel better on a daily basis.

Please don't hesitate to leave me your comments and suggestions. Have a Great Hair Day! 'Till! :))

the preppier, the better.

Here's an article I read at gq.com, hope you'll get some tips.

The world keeps getting preppier every day and designers are taking the style to its brashest, boldest heights ever.  Here, our favorite polymath (actor, comedian, writer, rapper),  Donald Glover,  wears this new class of colorful varsity gear while shredding across the UCLA campus.

Don't be shy. Big logos and bright colors are trademarks of the new prep.

Pop your suspenders. Push back your cap. 

Collegiate style, like college, has gotten more experimental.

Wait, we're not saying designers—or students—are on drugs. 

Just that they've taken traditional looks far out.

Even geezerish gear can be punk, especially when paired with a "Try me" glare.

You can, even if you don't skate. Push up your sleeves and trousers.

You never graduate from collegiate style—just college. 

It's how you wear the clothes that's gotta evolve.

Please leave some comments and Suggestions below.

Thanks! Always keep in touch.
