FLEUR'D PINS:
In this holiday gift guide for men, I will be featuring on-trend men's accessories selected by myself and my fashion editor Pasquale Suriano. Our aim is to make your shopping as streamlined as possible while shopping. More to my point, the selections featured below are what men need and want to roll into the new year.
As a luxury fashion journalist allow me to be blunt; I don’t fancy gimmicky gifts as they tend to stray from the spirit of Christmas and the Holidays— where people take time in choosing heartfelt gifts for family and loved ones. Nothing expresses feelings more than a meaningful gift.
Needless to say, there is change in the air. And overall, men have changed their style in ways that align with modern times. In short, fashion and related industries are shifting what was considered the norm, to fresh new territory. In fact, older items that were once popular, are no longer as prevalent with consumers. Simply stated, they are not at the top of the accessories trending today.
Nowadays, people seemingly look and feel different. The fashion business understands these changes. Take Eastpak—the backpack leader transforms three classic shapes into Marvel masterpieces. The Padded Pak’r backpack reflects the style and superpowers of each characters for the comic lover in your life. And with office homes in mind, this season Drew and Jonathan Home offers a sophisticated comforter set from the Scott Brothers' exclusive Macy's collection to get the job done in the comfort of your own home.
And for the guys aiming for striking style, WEAR BRIMS—features The Liv Woodz Brim — luxury embodied in a hat. This vibrant instinct blue, 100% wool felt brim was designed with the idea of celebrating the journey of life, and valuing relationships that mean something to us. This hat is a must have for men this fall/winter.$250. And since I recently lost my wallet, I decided it was time to buy a new one with a chain. I went all out and purchased one from the Milwaukee Boot Company. The brand developed a cool MBC’s Russel trucker wallet. Clip it to your belt loop and walk confidently knowing that all of the important stuff is safe $49
In a word, designers and brands alike, have been diligently working all year to develop fresh new arrivals that will peak his curiosity and show him how much you care.
Happy Holidays!!
