Return To Wall Street

Notice a trend happening in Men's fashion nowadays? It started with the Dolce hair. Yanno, cut short on the sides and slicked and parted. Then it was the wingtip shoe. You can wear it with your suit, you can wear it with shorts and no socks (my personal fav). Oook, then came the '80's glasses. These are different from the popular Buddy Holly-esque glasses in that they're more rounded and look like something you would see an advertisement exec wear on Melrose Place, circa 1992. Allllrighty then, now it's the return of the vertical stripe in mens button-ups...or downs, whichever you prefer. So you put em all together and what do you get? Michael Douglas? 

Close. Well, that's the whole idea. Wall Street chic is what I'm calling this look. Now nerd chic is definitely a huge trend, as we have discussed before but now I'm talking about a hybrid of it. The mack-daddy, investment banking, cocaine sniffing, money laundering yuppie trend. Tailored suits, cropped and greased-to-the-side hair, striped wovens, and shiny wingers (that's my new word for wing-tips) are all the rage for Fall '09 (trust me on this - you're gonna see it everywhere). So get ahead of the game and start rockin' it now. Just do me a favor, no suspenders unless they're with jeans and no comb-overs. We're talking Wall Street here, not Trump Street. Now put down the blow and go and play banker.
