If you and your man are traveling for New Years, I put this simple outfit together for him.  No sweats when traveling!  Hide sleepy eyes with some killer shades when getting off the plane or out from a long car ride.  No sneakers necessary, dress up the button down and jeans with a nice chucka boot and he'll have other travelers thinking.... hmmm do I know him?!?!  What movie was he in?? haha
What does your man wear to travel?

Mens: Weekend Warm & Casual

Mens: Weekend Warm & Casual by fitfashlife featuring multi colored jewelry

Quiksilver cotton pants / Neff multi colored jewelry / Timberland Earthkeepers® Rugged 6" Boot / Brooks Brothers Shetland Hoodie / Merona Men's Puffer Vest Assorted Colors

I love when my hubby looks so casual, but still put together. This outfit is a prime example of weekend attire of running errands, grabbing coffee, maybe going to a movie, or meeting a friend for lunch or a beer.  You are ready for anything in this type of outfit, no need to head home to change first.  Add the extra layer of the vest if it's freezin out! 
What does your guy wear that you love??

Mens: Fall Boot Wishlist by fitfashlife on Polyvore

UGG Willmington / Timberland Earthkeepers® Rugged 6" Boot / UGG Stevenson / RJ Colt Mateo / JD Fisk Dale Dark Brown - Zappos.com Free Shipping BOTH Ways / Bostonian Barbour

I'm in the process of shopping for Fall boots for hubby and I actually found a few that love.  Some are dressier than others but most can be worn casually or dressed up.  Hubby's 2 favorites are the Timberland's (top right) and the RJ Colt Mateo's (middle left).  So, needless to say, that's one Xmas present down.... now, what else? 
What pair would your man wear best??

Mens: Gorgeous Fall day

Mens: Gorgeous Fall day by fitfashlife featuring mirrored glasses

Steve Madden mirrored glasses / Vince Camuto 'Marino' Boat Shoe Brown 8.5 D / Banana Republic Heritage Striped Hooded Pullover / Gap Lived In Wash Tonal Plaid Shirt - tile blue / Gap Lived In Flat Front Shorts - Blue harmony

On such a gorgeous Fall day, a guy could still get away with shorts and just put some layers on top.  I went a little trendier and mixed prints.  Staying in the same color scheme of blues, it makes everything flow.  

What do you think of the orange shorts?

Mens: Red Boat shoes

Mens: Red Boat shoes by fitfashlife featuring burberry sunglasses

Neff colorful watch / Burberry sunglasses / Sperry Top-Sider 'Authentic Original - Pop Neon' Boat Shoe Red/ Navy 9... / Zara Bowling Bag With Blue Stripes / Gap Ripstop Cargo Shorts / Gap Mens Shorts Sleeve Soft Modern Pique Polo

I love it when guys go outside of the norm, and throw a little style into the mix.  These red boat shoes are perfect for a pop of color without thinking it's too much.  I paired them with some great shades; love this shape on guys, different then the aviators that everyone wears.  A casual polo and watch and you're set. 

Guys, would you rock a colored shoe?

Mens: Travel Days

Mens: Travel Days by fitfashlife featuring a fleece hoodie

Fleece hoodie / Citizen Watch, Men's Two Tone Stainless Steel Bracelet 38mm Bk2284-54h / Zara Combination Nylon Weekender / Sperry Top-Sider® 'Authentic Original - Pop Neon' Boat Shoe / Gap Linen Patch Pocket Plaid Shirt / Gap Ripstop Cargo Shorts

As part of my last few posts, I decided to put the boat shoes and men's weekender bag together for a travel day post.  Traveling this summer shouldn't be about sweatpants and t-shirts.  Guys can still look put together while on a plane, on a ferry, in a car, (you get the point).  Side note:  You want to go easy and classic on the accessories when you have a pop of color shoe.  So, I picked this classic silver Citizen watch for this outfit. 
Safe travels to all this summer! 
 
What do you think, would you guys wear a pop of color or not brave enough??

Mens: Weekender Bag

Mens: Weekender Bag by fitfashlife on Polyvore

Zara Leather Bowling Bag / Zara Combination Bowling Bag / Zara Rubber Weekend Bag / Zara Combination Nylon Weekender / Zara Bowling Bag With Blue Stripes

There comes a point in time when a guy can NOT rock a backpack while traveling.  I would say about 30yrs old.  At this time... you need to step it up and get something a little more sophisticated and age appropriate.  I found a bunch of nice ones at Zara and they range from $90 to $300 depending on your budget.  If you are just going away for the weekend and don't need your piece of luggage that rolls, and is huge, this is the perfect option to get.  This is a good investment piece that you will have for a long time and shows that you are more put together than the next guy. 

Which is your favorite??

Steve Madden / Gap Lived In Wash Checkered Shirt / Gap Ripstop Cargo Shorts / John Varvatos Star USA 'Schooner' Boat Shoe / AX Armani Exchange Round Bracelet Watch

As part of yesterday's post about Mens: boat shoes, I decided to put together an outfit with my favorite pair for hubby.  Gap really has some great things for guys right now.  I already bought these shorts for hubby's bday and he's been wearing them constantly.  This button up is perfect for summer, roll up the sleeves and it's a nice light material. A pair of aviators and a nice watch and you are ready to man the BBQ and play a round of Baggo with a beer in hand.

With the Nordstrom Half annual sale going on, I started to browse the Men's section for hubby.  When we were in The Cape, boat shoes were all the craze!  EVERYONE was wearing them, men, women, even kids.  I really started to like the look of them for spring/summer.  These are all from Nordy's and range from $85 to $200 depending on what your budget is.  My favorites are the red and navy Sperry Top-sider and the grey John Varvatos'.  I def see one of these pairs in hubby's future!

Alfani black top / BKE Derek Jean / Cole Haan Air Colton Winter Chukka / MARC BY MARC JACOBS 72mm Shield Sunglasses / Citizen Watch, Men's Two Tone Stainless Steel Bracelet 38mm Bk2284-54h

Spring is a perfect time for guys to wear lighter materials and lighter colors.  This light blue and gray button down is perfect with a dark color of jeans.  Still loving the chukka boots, or you can also wear with gray driving loafers.  A hot pair of shades is all you need to make an outfit look put together.

Men's FitFashLife Spring Wishlist

Men's FitFashLife Spring Wishlist by fitfashlife featuring loafers

Loafer / men's big & tall: heritage collection | Banana Republic / men's big & tall: heritage collection | Banana Republic / 'the Greatest Pants In The Universe' Straight Leg Chinos (Online... / Volcom Cuesta Jacket / Nordstrom Cotton & Cashmere Sweater Delft X-Large / Alfani BLACK Shirt, Caymen Check Woven Shirt - Mens Casual Shirts -... / Tommy Hilfiger Shirt, Long Sleeve Michael Shirt - Mens Casual Shirts -...

As soon as that tax check comes in.... we will be going shopping.... here is what I found so far for hubby for spring... I tend to spend more on his clothes because he keeps everything forever, so his cost per wear is a lot less than mine.  I'm ok with spending $80 or more for a shirt/sweater for him... because I know he will continue to wear it for 10 years, until I tell him it's dunzo.  These loafers look super comfy and he def needs a pair!  I went with a little bit brighter colors for spring... since he normally wears navy, charcoal and black all the time.  Trying to branch him out!  
Any items you planning on getting for your man??  Do tell.....

This is a perfect outfit if you are meeting a special someone for lunch.  Pull together jeans and T-shirt while hanging out at home, then throw on a zip up sweater, these shoes and head out.  If you don't feel like doing your hair, rock a nicer baseball hat (a beanie would work too).

Can't forget the guys.... they need to dress for the Rainy weather too.  I had some inspiration from a friend, he sent me a pic of a similar sweater and asked if it was a "go" or a "no".  I really liked the sweater, so I decided to show him how to rock it in today's post.

Livin in the sticks isn't an excuse for not putting a decent outfit together.  Rugged boots and the camo green bubble vest reminds me of my hometown.

Mens: Office to Happy Hour by fitfashlife featuring bootcut jeans

BKE bootcut jeans / Onitsuka Tiger™ 'Kohaku' Sneaker (Men) / CHECKED FITTED MILITARY SHIRT at Express / MERINO WOOL CREW NECK SWEATER at Express / Cole Haan Air Colton Winter Chukka at Zappos.com / Vestal Gearhead Polished Black/Black/Black - Zappos.com Free Shipping...

Just bought my hubby this shirt, love it and it was on sale in Express.  It is a little louder than he normally wears so I figured he could throw on a gray sweater to tone it down if he wants.  This is def an outfit you can cas-down (make more casual) or stiffen up for a casual Friday office ensemb (le).  No tie needed for either outfit.  How hot are those Cole Haan dress shoes... I die.  The watch is on SALE now too!  Loving an all black men's watch, it just looks powerful to me.

Side note: I'm ok with spending a little more $$ on my hubby, he keeps things forever and in great shape, unlike myself.

Men's Weekend Casual by fitfashlife featuring chronograph watches

BKE boot-cut jeans / Chronograph watch / Volcom 'Well Fair' Zip Hoodie / Hurley Movement T-Shirt / Onitsuka Tiger™ 'Kohaku' Sneaker (Men)


Hope everyone had a great weekend!  I needed one more day to recover from our Spartan Race, which I thought was 8 miles, but it ended up being 11 miles of torture in the rain and wind!  But overall, we had a great time and pushed through!  Great job Team Elite Progression~!  
I'm loving this watch and it actually inspired this whole outfit.  The sneakers were on my fall trend list as well.  

That's all for now.... coming up, NY Fashion week pics from our Neiman Marcus night out!
