A heart charm and spiked black metal cuff.
Juicy Couture Hide & Chic Bib Necklace
A bold black rhinestone-studded bib necklace
Dannijo Chanterilli Chrystal-Knot Necklace
Crystal-embellished knotted silver-tone chain necklace

Men’s Fashion That Doesn’t Suck?
September 28th, 2009 Posted 12:50 pm
Frankly, men’s fashion is in a perpetually sad state. If you want something decent, you pay through the nose for it. Off-the-rack American menswear caters to the common man, who frankly is either a fashion slob, or only wears what’s available. This creates a self-perpetuating cycle of bad fashion begets bad fashion sense.
Every so often I’ll see something that stands out. In this case, it’s a pair of shoes from Urban Outfitters. Yes, they’re nearly $150, but that’s a far cry from the $300+ you’re looking at for most decent stuff.
