4th of July Style Survival Guide

With summer officially kicking off and 4th of July just around the corner, here are my picks for what every man needs to stay stylish this holiday. Whether you are enjoying fireworks on a yacht in the Hamptons or just laying out poolside and grilling with friends, these tips will keep you looking your best.

1) Beauty Essential: Kiehl’s UV Defense SPF 50+. Maintain your summer glow and protect your skin with this fantastic sunscreen.

2) Shoes: YSL Rubber Loafers. Essential for those summer days and summer nights. Slip on and slip off. Easy to clean with a wet towel.

3) Shirt: S.E.H Kelly Raglan Shirt. Every guy needs summertime basic essentials and we love this simple, clean look.

4) Sunglasses: Oliver People Daddy B shades. Nothing says “summertime” like a pair of the hottest shades. Protect your eyes from the sun and those pesky paps with Oliver Peoples.

5) Bag: Celine Cabas Tote. Throw all your summer must have in this fabulous  tote. We are obsessed! The structure makes the bag unisex so even men can wear it around and feel chic.

6) Tech: HTC Radar. Capture and share all your holiday memories with friends using the latest technology.

7) Tech accessory: Hugo Boss iPad Covers. Protect your iPad with this stylish cover.

Most Wanted: Sneak Attack!!

If your familiar with my style then you know that sneakers are a HUGE part of my daily wardrobe. Suddenly they’re everywhere. Isabel Marant’s have a built-in wedge, Marc Jacobs’s have a 90′s nostalgic vibe, and Lanvin’s are jewel-printed and cap-toed. From the street to the runways, it seems that pumped-up kicks may just be the shoe of the moment.

Check out my MOST WANTED kicks to incorporate in your everyday look to team up with your skinniest jeans for instant cool.

Isabel Marant’s ‘Willow’ sneakers, with their cool concealed wedge heels, have become an overnight fashion must-have. Wear this multicolored pair with a chambray shirt and skinny jeans for an effortless take on spring’s sports-luxe trend.

Giuseppe Zanotti gives the classic high-top sneakers a wow-factor finish with metallic-blush leather and punk-chic spikes. Wear these lustrous shoes to boost laid-back weekend looks, teaming them with classic blue jeans for a glamorous grounding.

Show your fashion mettle in Maison Martin Margiela’s gold leather high-top sneakers. Create the ultimate sports-luxe combination by teaming them with knit and skinny black pants.

 Lanvin’s diamond-print canvas and leather high-top sneakers encapsulate designer Alber Elbaz’s signature quirky style. Work this casual-cool pair on the weekend with a pop-bright blouse and dark-rinse skinny jeans.
