CODY: WHITE REEBOK SNEAKERS | STRIPED SHIRT | DENIM

I have always been a sneaker girl, but the more pregnant I get, the more I’m living in sneakers.

Cody and I just got these matching throwback white sneakers. I love coordinating with Cody and sneakers are one of the few things he gets on board to match with haha. These classic white Reeboks are the perfect throwback for this season and super versatile. I actually got the kids some too because I loved them so much!

Here are some of my favorite ways to style them into your day-to-day looks:

‘Day-Dress’ed Down: A knit dress is quickly becoming my go-to Pair these sneakers with a feminine, fitted dress for a casual, dressed down vibe.

Summer-Ready: The fool-proof combo of a tee and cut-offs gets even better with classic white sneakers. Whether you’re outdoors enjoying the weather with your kids or just running errands on a sunny day, you can’t go wrong with this cool, casual look.

Sophisticated Meets Sporty: I’ve always loved the unexpected pairing of sneakers with a suit, and love the twist with these sneakers! Try them with a cropped trouser, satin cami, and a blazer to add a sporty touch to an otherwise polished look.

The possibilities are endless! Taking bets on how often we ‘end up’ twinning in them this summer.

Below are some other Reebok throwbacks that are perfect for the season. What’s your favorite way to wear white sneakers?

Selvedge Denim: Is It Worth The Extra Money?

from He Spoke Style - Men's Style, Fashion, Grooming, Tips and Advice

Is selvedge denim worth it?

Introduced by Levi’s in 1853, denim has long been a significant part of history in menswear. A blue-collar staple that continues to grow, it’s estimated that every year around 450 million pairs of jeans are sold in the US. With so much of today’s denim being mass produced, the focus has shifted from the belief of quality and longevity to one of excess quantity and trend driven, fast-fashion.

The majority of denim today has a completely different look and feel than it once did. More brands than ever (yes, even Levi’s) are introducing synthetic materials for more stretch and laser-etched distressing to look like they are more well-worn pair.

Fortunately for us, the few vestiges of what denim’s greatness used to be still exists in the marketplace. When it comes to the trio of quality, longevity and price, the answer has always pointed to selvedge denim.

What is selvedge denim? Mentioned previously, selvedge denim is often referred to as being a superior quality denim fabric with a distinct “self edge” stripe down each side of the textile’s roll. Due to the limited availability of the looms needed to produce the denim fabric, as well as a smaller amount of material being manufactured, it is increasingly getting harder to find brands that still make denim in a selvedge style.

The few who do charge more for the time and effort that goes into the final product. Undoubtedly the question that everyone always asks: Is selvedge denim worth the extra money?

Yes, and here’s why

100% Cotton – Let’s face it, todays denim is just different. IMHO the stretch aspect in the current denim doesn’t feel the same. Selvedge denim feels like denim used to feel. Tough, bullet proof, and long-lasting.

You Invest in Quality – Typically a higher quality product means it will last longer. If you can buy one pair of denim instead of multiple pairs, why wouldn’t you spend a little more?

Jeans are Personal – Denim is inherently something that is personal. The fit, the feel, the way we use/wear them in. Each pair wears intrinsically different. With selvedge denim, you get to see the evolution of your pair as you wear them. New denim just doesn’t wear the same as a raw pair of selvedge denim.

Flaunt Your Sartorial Knowledge – For those of us who are denim enthusiasts, showing off that “self edge” regularly is a little badge of honor. It’s the kind of inconsequential thing that no one else will notice or care about, but you’re proud it’s there.

Great Denim is Versatile – While not everyone believes in wearing a pair with a sportcoat, denim is unequivocally versatile. A dark pair will work with almost anything in your wardrobe and can even take you through all four-seasons (yup, even summer).

Whether you need convincing or not, buying selvedge denim is an investment. For those who want the best, selvedge denim offers all the hallmarks of quality similar to that of a well-made suit. Personal preferences aside, I’ve owned several pairs of them over the years. I’ve found that spending a little more has always proved to be the wise decision.

Agree? Let me know if you think selvedge denim is worth it.

Stylishly Yours,

Steven D. Elliott He Spoke Style

Hello Fashion At Home: Splurge//Save on Coffee Tables

SPLURGE: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

SAVE: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 (ALSO THIS ONE ON SALE UNDER $150) | 7

I could spend years picking out furniture and still feel like I don’t have enough time! Since I’m such a visual person, it’s hard for me to envision how pieces will work together in a space. So after looking at what seems like a million coffee tables online, I wanted to share a few of my favorite pairs for another splurge and save post! We went with #3 and we love it! It’s really large so it fills the space really nicely and I love the texture – so pretty! It also comes in 3 colors. A close second was #6 – again I love the natural woven texture and the save option is so beautiful too! It’s not a huge price difference but the free shipping definitely makes a dent. Also love this similar option on sale for under $150! Below are a few more options I love:

Bennett Winch Arrive in NYC

from He Spoke Style - Men's Style, Fashion, Grooming, Tips and Advice

Bennett Winch comes to the big apple

British luxury luggage maker, Bennett Winch, has made its introduction into New York City with a 10-week residency located in the famed Turnbull & Asser Townhouse. The HSS team was invited to celebrate the monumental occasion of these two quintessential British brands working together to bring the best luxury goods built on tradition and quality.

Amongst a packed house of supporters, Bennett Winch presented their wide collection of handmade leather totes, briefcases and carry-all’s. Made from the finest raw materials, like leather from Italy and British brass hardware, these bags are assembled by the most experienced hands in England.

As my knowledge of the brand was minimal, I was granted the opportunity to speak with founder, Robin Winch. He was kind enough to walk me through the inception of the brand, explain to me in depth about some of the fine details of their products and talk about all the exciting new projects in the coming year.

I was permitted to handle their products at the event to get a sense of their feel and construction. Their most popular bag, the weekender, is offered in a variety of colors, in either a 24-ounce waterproof cotton canvas or leather. (You’ve seen Brian with the canvas version previously.) It also conceals an interior protective laptop sleeve, waterproof side compartment and 2 footwear storage pockets. Below you can see a few images of this beautiful bag in a full-grain brown leather.

I was also very lucky to get my hands on one of their leather tote bags. I prefer carrying a tote bag with me due to the variety of personal and business items I’m usually carrying with me at all times. This black version is refined, expertly-made, and was designed for the professional who wants the absolute best. I almost didn’t give it back!

If you’re looking to invest in top-notch bags or luggage, Bennett Winch have a nearly flawless and growing collection that’s worth your time. Stop into the Turnbull & Asser townhouse, they’ll be there displaying until June 10th. Lastly, if you haven’t already, check out our review of their briefcase.

Thanks, as always, for reading.

Stylishly Yours,

Steven D. Elliott He Spoke Style

The Grey Suit Reinvented: How to Freshen up a Classic

from He Spoke Style - Men's Style, Fashion, Grooming, Tips and Advice

How to give your classic grey suit a new look

The grey suit is a foundational business essential. Like your traditional navy suit, a grey suit is something you will wear over and over again throughout the course of your life. You’d be naïve to believe that you can’t find any occasion where a grey suit would be an appropriate option.

The belief that a grey suit has to look boring or unimaginative is completely false. I’m going to show you how to freshen up your classic grey suit to make it feel like it’s the newest addition to your closet.

So what type of suit is ideal? Spring is the time of year when the weather can be unpredictable. When it’s warm, wet, and windy, finding the perfect lightweight suit that can keep you cool without compromising on style can be tricky.

My recommendation: a grey suit in a fresco fabric. Fresco consists of multiple strands of yarn and high-twisted wool with an open weave, allowing the fabric to be airy, yet durable. It’s designed specifically with summer in mind and although the open weave allows airflow, its crisp feel and look doesn’t lend itself to wrinkle the way linen would. For maximum versatility, choose a partially lined version that can work for multiple seasons.

Brian has featured this type of look on HeSpoke Style a few times and for good reason. Wearing a t-shirt under your suit is one of the simplest ways to update an old suit, yet many men don’t explore it for some reason. Open to your thoughts on why down below in the comments.

There are simple ground rules I like to follow when wearing a t-shirt with a grey suit. First, always wear it tucked. We don’t have to get into why, just trust me. Second, keep it simple. Stick to a solid color. Especially if your suit has a pattern. If it’s a solid color suit, try a horizontal stripe in navy and white for a Parisian feel. Lastly, iron your t-shirt. You heard that correctly. Wrinkles affect all garments, so take the time to iron it so you look sharp.

| WEARING | Suitsupply fresco suit, Uniqlo t-shirt, white low-top sneakers, Eyebuy Direct sunglasses, Orient watch | PHOTOGRAPHY | by Mark Asuncion

The suit with sneakers thing can be a touchy subject, but in my opinion, it works perfectly with this relaxed t-shirt look. White being the most versatile pair to own, stick to something neutral. Also, make sure they’re clean.

Finally, top it off with the right pair of sunglasses. Don’t be that guy who always wears the same pair of sunglasses. Having a variation of different styles shows that you care about the finishing touches.

Tell us, would you wear the suit and t-shirt look?

Stylishly Yours,

Steven D. Elliott He Spoke Style

10 Spring Shoe Trends to Style Up Your Wardrobe

Thank you to FSJ Shoes for sponsoring this post about spring shoe trends. All opinions are my own. Clothing designers do their best to keep things interesting, season after season. This time around, they’re pulling out all the stops: new textures and shapes mixed with old trends revisited (we’re talking to you, neon). All of that makes shopping super fun, but it’s not very practical if your day job requires a somewhat-subdued appearance. All is not lost though. You can still play with this season’s high-impact styles, just in smaller doses. When the trends go big and bold, we say

Crushing on This Year’s ‘It’ Color

So obsessed with the ruffles on this dress

Pin It

If any of you missed my stories, Beckam is addicted to wearing his suit non-stop again! After he grew out of his last suit, he kind of let it go for a minute but now that he has one that fits him, it’s all he wants to wear! Literally wants to wear it to school every single day. And as much as he loves wearing a suit, as a mom I think I love it even more! (Aside from the fact that he looks like he’s 10

)

DETAILS: LAVENDER RUFFLED DRESS ( ALSO LOVE THIS ONE AND THIS ONE) | EARRINGS | SANDALS (SIMILAR HERE) | WATCH

BECKAM: SUIT | BUTTON UP | SNEAKERS

Lavender and lilac are huge colors this year, but as much as I love pastels I’ve been a little hard-pressed to find any piece that really sold me on the color trend until this dress! I was looking for something springy for Easter and when I stumbled on this showstopper. I am a sucker for ruffled sleeves and obsessed with pretty back cut-outs, but rarely do you find both combined so perfectly in one dress! Now I’m seeing lavender dresses everywhere and need them all. I love this maxi option which also has a great back cut-out (great for a wedding or dressier occasions this spring/summer!) or this option for simpler silhouette. This is the dress (under $100) I got last Easter which comes in multiple colors, including a pretty lavender and a lilac shade.. It really is such a beautiful color and perfect for spring!

Below are a few more lavender pieces that have me on-board! What do you guys think of the color – have you tried it out yet?
