New Season, New Clothes - A Male Guide to Stay Fresh for Less
The warmer
weather is here and you can finally store that heavy winter parka deep in your
storage without looking back… well maybe for a few months. Now that your bulky
jacket is out of the question, let’s see what summer essentials we can put in
that empty closet space without breaking your bank. The question that usually
always comes up for me is, “is this really worth that price!?” and with that,
showing you a few alternatives to very trendy and high fashion pieces that you
can rock in the summer.
Dressing from bottom to top:
One
of the most iconic shoes in the past 10 years, the Common Projects Achilles Low
being a very sleek and subtle shoe that can go with any piece of clothing is
one of the first alternatives being shown. Retailing for over 500$ CAD this
show is definitely a summer shoe that you might want to invest in, but for the
ones who want the same look here are some alternatives. The first runner up is from
the brand Axel Arigato a brand started up in Summer 2014, they offer the same subtle
and sleek options but for half the price. If this is still too pricey for you
then the Adidas Stan Smith that comes in a different silhouette than the other
two, is still a very clean shoe that will go with your whole summer wardrobe
that is also the most comfortable out of the three after my own experiences.
Feel the cool breeze on your knees:
Jeans
in the summer? Seeing as how hot out summers can get, looking good is still
number one on peoples lists and these pair of jeans might be on their mind when
thinking so. These Saint Laurent jeans being highly sought after but very
unobtainable due to its 1300$ price point might throw you off, but don’t give
up on them just yet as there are many alternatives to these ripped jeans.
Before doing your research on the perfect pair of distressed denim, maybe look
into your closet for a pair of jeans that already fit you well enough and
approach it the DIY way. DIY being a very popular trend, there are many video
tutorials online that teach you how to get this distressed look for almost
free. If DIY isn’t your forte, then spending some money on a pair of Represent
Clothing jeans might be the answer for you. While the quality is very exceptional,
the price point being almost a quarter of Saint Laurent’s, these jeans will for
sure give you the same look.
Vintage? In the 21st
century?
Bring
the old-school style back! With the roar of vintage clothing and band tees,
brands have taken advantage of this and started to come out with their own.
Very trendy brand Fear of God run by Jerry Lorenzo had come out with a reworked
Metallica band tee that retailed for 300$... bizarre, right? Why buy a reworked
band tee for 300$ when you can have some fun and go thrift one yourself? If you’re
that lazy type, then I have an option for you. Local Toronto stores such as
Urban Outfitters and H&M always have the right alternatives for whatever
you’re looking for especially these trendy band tees.
