It’s no secret that wearing linen is the effortless key to staying cool during the hot summer months.  But what’s not as clear is how to wear and care for it and where to buy linen pants, shorts, shirts, and suits for men.  Linen is one of the oldest fabrics on record.  Derived from the fibers of the flax plant, linen is the go-to fabric to beat the heat and has been universally accepted as a summer wardrobe essential since the days of the pyramids.  Despite how carefree and easy linen garments may seem, there are some key rules to follow to effectively pull off this style move.

Autumn has officially arrived!  I'm celebrating the season from my neighborhood Stone Creek Coffee shop in Shorewood, WI.  I'm outside with my coffee and wearing my favorite sweater and corduroy jacket in the spirit of sweater season. It's a crisp 55 degrees, and it feels good. I have 60 minutes before the coffee shop closes, so let me get to the point.  Here are a few of my favorite zip up sweaters and hoodies from Fall 2015.  If you dressing in layers, consider zip-up sweaters and hoodies.  They're easier to remove in sudden temperature changes.  Sweaters with buttons work well too.  You'll find a few in my selection of fall sweaters for men.

NEW 2016 James Perse Trucker Hats .  James Perse is a luxury casual brand based in Los Angeles, California.  They are known for their high quality construction and minimalist design.  We've featured James Perse menswear in the past, but this time we're highlighting one of their accessories from the Fall 2015 collection.  Available in double face knit, corduroy, and cotton flannel, the James Perse trucker hats are true to the Southern California lifestyle.  Done in James Perse style, these trucker hats are constructed with top notch fabrics imported from Italy.  Don't let the early 2000's trend of pop sensations wearing trucker hats keep you away from these comfortable, low maintenance, and stylish baseball caps.

We previously featured our favorite casuals and basics from the James Perse collection for men.  This week we're featuring the James Perse Fall 2015 Collection. James Perse offers high-quality basics and ready-to-wear items, including jackets, sweaters, pants and shoes.
