This weekend marks the (unofficial) beginning of summer. That being said, you might as well start it out fresh. Check out the slideshow below for a day by day outfit guide on what to wear this Memorial Day Weekend.

mens how to travel

You'll need to start your weekend off right on Friday. Wear something that's office appropriate, but comfortable to travel in. Don't forget to bring that weekender that doesn't make you look like you're smuggling contraband across state lines.

Saturday is when the real partying begins. Prepare to enjoy the (hopefully) warm weather all day long. Always pack a pair of trunks that look good in and out of the water because you never know where you'll end up.

At this point you might be feeling it. Rehab that hangover over brunch while wearing a light sweatshirt and sick pair of shades. You'll be ready for Sunday Funday in no time.

It's time to celebrate the real reason why you've had a 3 day weekend. Rep 'Merica by sporting a little red, white, and blue. Make sure you keep you wear a watch and keep your eye on it. Unfortunately you'll have to put your weekend to bed and pretend to be a grownup in the morning. (Unless you're done with school, then keep the party going, sir.

(Ed note: Not to be confused with Micah Cohen’s collection or trashy suburban mom chick lit.)

Two trends that I’m super into are the monochromatic palette and the faux sporty look. I obviously had to mix the two in one outfit this weekend as I strolled through the Upper East Side.

P.S. Sweatshorts and tights might replace drop crotch pants in my fashion heart.

Things To Give Your Mom That Cost Nothing

 

TV Moms

Don’t freak out, but Mother’s Day is this Sunday. If you are one of those guys who has already thought out a brillant and extravagant gift for your mom then good for you, Momma’s Boy. It’s  completely OK if it totally slipped your mind or you’re strapped for cash.

I’ve come up with some surefire things that woman who brought you into this world will enjoy. Click thru the slideshow below for deets.

Get A Haircut:
Technically this might cost you unless you've got a hookup or extremely steady hands. Your mom will appreciate a clean shaven son and you're probably due for a trim anyway. (Note: If you have cornrows or a mohawk, you should have a little self respect and cut it off for yourself.

Get In A Serious Relationship:
Nothing reassures a mother than to know that their baby is being taken care of and won't grow up to be that weird single uncle who no one feels comfortable leaving the kids around. If you are helplessly single then don't fret because lying about this is 10x easier than half the BS you've told your mom when you were a teenager.

job hunting

Get A "Real" Job
Sorry for assuming that if you're reading this that you're not a surgeon or Fortune 500 CEO. (If you are, I'm always looking for sponsors btw). Let's say you crushed your Mother's dream by working in the creative industry, freelance, or worse by claiming to be a "rapper/producer/DJ". Tell your momma that she was right about everything and that you're going to put that overpriced liberal arts degree to "good" use.

mothers day edible arrangements

If all else fails (or you have a shred of self worth) then stop being a cheapskate and order your mom an Edible Arrangement. Moms love Edible Arrangements.

Wearing: Tie: Ohk + Leaf| Jacket: American Eagle| Pants: Gap| Shirt: Geoffrey Beene| Boots: Dr. Scholl’s| Hat: Vintage

Like most people I get by with a little help from my friends. This is why couldn’t help but oblige when my good friend Sean of Fruit Punch asked me to collab on a post. The mission was to take a Ohk + Leaf bow tie and make them it with our personal styles. I picked a rugged/urban look while Sean opted for splashes of color. (Check out his look here.)

If you dig the bow tie then you’re in luck because Sean’s giving some away. (Including the one in this post!) Find out how to enter here.

*P.S. Get used to seeing the fedora on the blog because it’s my new favorite thing.
