Summer Sophistication

J. Lawrence's guide to looking and feeling your best, from head to toe this summer.


Scents

Smelling confident brings you one step closer to feeling confident. Good hygiene is always a must, but taking the extra step to smell like more than just soap can go a long way. Make good impressions and leave something to be remembered by with great scents.


Prada Cologne-
The smooth scent to carry you throughout the day.










Sean John- Unforgivable

The after-hours cologne

Nautica Cologne-
A mixture of H20 in this cologne keeps your body from sweating away a good scent in the summer heat.













Shoes
Suited up or dressed down, shoes are an important part of every man's fashion. So it's always helpful to find a pair of shoes that can be worn to any occasion.

The lastest hitting the runway in Milan is the 2011 spring collection from Dsquared² by Dan and Dean Caten. For those unfamiliar with the line; Dsquared² is a combination of preppy classics (polos and blazers) with a contemporary spin.

Take a look at a video from the runway show.

Get Suited for the Summer!

We’re finally getting some sunshine here in the windy city and as much as we would like to relax under the A/C in shorts and a tank top and maybe even some manly flip flops, we still have to stay stylish this season. So take a look at some suits for this summer.

    
 This tan suit by J. Crew priced at $366 is the  perfect suit for

        young men that want to add a extra flare while on the way

                                    to the office.

Black never goes out of style but don't be

 afraid to add a little color every now and then.

         This Perry Ellis suit priced at $245 may be what you're looking for.

Armani Exchange suit priced at $263. Two thumbs up.

Nothing says summer like this khaki suit

by Tallia Orange priced at $395.

You can be comfortable and fashionable by wearing a pair

of shades and loafers with this suit.
