Selling out quickly would be this gorgeous and, quite literally versatile animal print two button blazer by Kenzo. It’s spot on for flashier affairs but comes with a volume switch. Feeling frisky, go full on. Having a less ostentatious night? Let the lapels do the speaking. The Kenzo reversible blazer is $875 at ssense.com.

Yes, Halloween is for costumes, but if going so full-on isn’t your thing, there are still ways to be part of the night. How so? Maybe go with a skull T-shirt? Here, here and here are some non-played out styles. Also a polo. But you’re a style man and wanna make a little more impact than that, no? From slick T’s to conceptually inspired prints…from YSL to Paul Smith, from Kid Robot to Jeremy Scott, here are some handsome pieces that nod to the spirit of All Hallow’s Eve and, that actually, you could probably wear again, on other, less frightful nights.

The 5 Ways to Wear a Vest Jacket This Fall

While there’s a lot to look forward to, sartorially speaking, in this fall season of newly cool temperatures (even if its going to be like 80 degrees in New York City tomorrow), none is as particularly autumnal (or versatile) as the outerwear vest. Those sleeveless jackets that keep you warm, let you move around and, most importantly, give you plenty of layering options. This season’s biggest trends— from quilted and knits (which’ll transition from outer to under layers well come winter) to classic puffers and mixed fabrics—are waiting for you, after the jump.
The Quilted Vest
1) Kenzo Reversible Quilted Vest; $550 at barneys.com
There’s two kinds of gentleman wrapped up in this cotton and polyester (with corduroy trim) guy—nylon for when you’re feeling sporty, paisley for those more colorful moments.
2) White Mountaineering Quilted Pertex Taffeta Vest; $630 at ssense.com
Japanese minimal quirk at its most demure. Even the chest has concealed zip pockets.
The Knit
1) Miharayasuhiro Mohair Aran Knit Vest; $1852 at luisaviaroma.com
You’ll want to walk around with a permanently steaming mug of coco, or whatever, in this down feather lined mohair vest.
2) Wings and Horns Ombre Hand Knitted Vest; $425 at rodengray.com
We can trust the Canadians when it comes to knits.
The Mixed Fabric
1) Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply Multi-Patchwork Vest; $198 at ralphlauren.com
Here’s at least two fabrics we love about fall—suede in the yolk and faded flannel patchwork for the body.
2) Dolce & Gabbana Corduroy and Matt Nylon Vest; $1045 at luisaviaroma.com
Corduroy and nylon puff (here in an unassuming matt), stuffed with down feathers and accompanied by a hood will keep you looking fresh till perhaps the spring.
The Puffer
1) Stone Island Shadow Down Jacket; $565 at stoneisland.com
The unusual webbing pattern had us right away. Here’s one way to not look generic in this very popular of styles.
2) Adidas Slvr M Down Vest; $410 at revolveclothing.com
And here’s another, especially with the double buttons.
The patterned
1) Rocky Mountain Embroidered Vest; $1232 at colette.fr
Native inspirations aren’t going anywhere and we haven’t seen Teepees yet.
2) Drumohr X Nick Wooster; $895 at barneys.com
Not only is Nick Wooster taking over the world, but so is Fair Isle. This is also a mixed fabric look by the way, cashmere and nylon.
Happy Lei Day! Hawaii Style, Then and Now

May 1st (whoa, that’s today!) is an official holiday in the great state of Hawaii. It’s called Lei Day and is when the island folk celebrate the iconic tropical garland used to welcome visitors to their beautiful land. We’re honoring today with some inspirational and memorable moments in Hawaii films from yesteryear followed by our fave looks from the Spring 2012 Kenzo runway show in Paris which was, to say the least, a Hawaii-fantasy collection. Enjoy and happy Lei Day!
From Here to Eternity (1953)
Frank Sinatra
Even though Hawaiian Shirts had been around since the 1930′s, it wasn’t till Frank Sinatra donned one in this film that the printed button up became a full on fad.
Montgomery Cliff (with Donna Reed)
South Pacific (1958) (Which was filmed in Hawaii)
Rossano Brazzi
By ’58, things Hawaiian had gotten less flamboyant…
Cast
while becoming, uh, more flamboyant.
Donovan’s Reef (1963)
Lee Marvin
Hawaii was, er, kind of beat down by the the early ’60′s. But if you ignore this guy’s black eye, you have to admit that he’s donning an excellent nautical themed look. Oh, and never tie your button up like that. Ever.
Lee Marvin
Well, if you’re gonna go there…sometimes you just need to go there.
Blue Hawaii (1967)
Elvis Presley
Who doesn’t love a revival? Surely the people in 1967 didn’t mind the Hawaiian one brought on by this Elvis film.
Elvis Presley
And let us not forget who wore short shorts first.
And now something more modern thanks to Kenzo’s Spring 2012 Paris Runway show
