Logo Design
Add an unexpected element of style to any ensemble with this season’s colorful shoes. Pop colors and two- tone suede wingtips and oxfords, brightly colored soles, and patterned shoes were seen striding down the spring runways of some top fashion houses.
Designers like Cole Haan have popularized the colored sole with its new LunarGrand. These two- tone shoes are seen just about everywhere this season, from the subtle contrasts of grey and brown to more daring and eye catching hues of blue and yellow. Toned down shades and sophisticated styling are made work appropriate, while brighter pops of color stand out for a night on the town.
When your footwear makes such a bold statement, it is best to keep your eyewear subtle and sophisticated. A top choice would be Cole Haan’s 221. Handcrafted in Italy, the playful 221 is a celebration of today’s modern retro style. Its colorful, Italian made acetate fronts are complemented by natural bamboo temples that add contemporary flair to the modernized square eye shape. The lightweight frame features rich metallic temple junction caps between the acetate and bamboo lending a clean, polished look; adjustable acetate tips add comfort and flexibility. The 221 also features German-engineered components, Cole Haan signature temple tips, and is available in Charcoal and Olive Horn.

According to FashionBeans.com, Grey is back in a big way this season – making waves in both formal and casual menswear. The color grey alone may not necessarily be what first comes to mind when thinking about fashion- forward style however the combination of different hues, patterns, and textures gives the classic color a modern twist.
Pair a lighter grey dress shirt with a darker tie, or go bold with a tie in a deep, rich shade of purple, red, or blue. There are even more choices when it comes to casual wear. You can opt for grey denim, checks, plaid, prints, or stripes and pair with another neutral monochrome color like black, beige, grey, or blue to give your outfit contrast and layers. Grey is such a versatile color, it can be worn either as an entire single color, tonal outfit, or as an anchor when paired with other bold colors. Update your style by adding some classic grey pieces to your wardrobe this season… like a great pair of Charcoal frames!

No outfit is complete without accessories. They complement your outfit and show off your personal style. This season, incorporate these “head-to-toe” accessories into your getup for the perfect finishing touch.
Trade in your baseball cap for a more practical hat! Trapper hats lined with fur or shearing are sure to keep your ears protected from the wind. Knit beanies will keep your noggin warm and cozy, and they work well with both casual and dressy outerwear. Wide-brimmed hats, also known as Amish hats, have been included in multiple designers’ fall collections. This masculine style exudes confidence and provides a bit of retro flair.
This winter trend for the toes involves an essential but often over-looked piece: socks! Add some pizzazz to your muted winter wardrobe with a pair of “statement-makers.” Choose stripes, argyles, bright colors – the possibilities are endless! And the best part is, there’s no right or wrong way to match your socks to your shoes. According to GQ.com, you can complement your shoes with classic designs or contrast with funky patterns for a bold, modern look. So mix and match for a look that’s completely unique to you!
Tie your “head-to-toe” look together with Marc Ecko Cut & Sew Disruptor. Disruptor is a sleek acetate sun with a dark pewter top brow featuring knurled texturing. With a tooled logo plaque, poly carbonate lenses and the signature laser shears logo, Disruptor is available in Black, Brown Fade and Green Olive Tortoise.

It’s time to give your old shoes the boot. This winter, kick it up a notch with boots in a variety of styles.
According to Askmen.com, black ankle boots are great for office wear. Comfortable, simple, and sleek, these boots are a staple similar to a dress shoe, but provide a bit of extra warmth and durability. They also transition well from work to an evening out; just remove your blazer for a modern, dressed-down look.
For a classic style in a modern silhouette, try leather wingtip boots. Wingtips are characterized by a pointed toe cap with “W” shaped wings running along the sides of the shoe. The decorative perforations and serration along the edges provide interesting detail. Wingtip boots will give your look a touch of sophistication that is great for casual or business wear.
Another version of this season’s must-have shoe is the lace-up boot. The timeless military influences and thick rubber soles provide a rugged and cool feel. Just tuck your slim jeans into the boot and pair with chunky knits or flannel shirts for an easy weekend look that’s on-trend.
Complete your boot look with the trendsetting Marc Ecko Cut & Sew Private Eye. Futuristic and sleek, Private Eye is an oversized acetate sun style with a unique metal bridge décor and metal logo trim. Available in Blue Navy, Smoke Crystal Matte and Merlot, Private Eye features CR 39 UV 400 protective lenses.
