With the temperature outside rising, layers of down and wool shedding, and the sun’s ground-hog tease of peekaboo (end this foreplay already, weather!) we can only assume one thing: Spring is almost here. Hurray! Let the warm-weather dancing end and the brunch-researching and vacation-planning begin, just don’t get too hasty on your fashion choices. No one needs to see cut-offs on the street—now or ever—or a naked ankle. It’s not time yet, people! Luckily there are a ton of different socks to cover up your private-foot-parts with, and still enjoy the sunny season *cue music*:

  • Kenzo
    Kenzo Techno Cotton Printed Socks ($73.34): Ah Spring! With its warm rays of light shining, flowers blossoming, and clouds parting, there is nothing like it. But not all good things have to end with seasonal change. Luckily with these airy socks, you can have your head in the sun and your feet in the clouds—whoever said staying 'grounded' was a good thing? Available for purchase at select Kenzo retailers and online at LuisaViaRoma.com.

  • Stance
    Stance Rancho Socks ($12): Hombre never looked so western—or athletic. This Spring, with all your hiking and physical activity (re: from the kitchen to the TV), you'll never lose that West Coast spirt of exploratory adventure with these premium cotton and deep heel pocketed socks. Available for purchase online at Stance.com.

  • Topman Fluro Patterned Socks
    Topman Fluro Patterned Socks ($6): There are a lot of things going on in these multi-colored cotton and nylon printed socks. And if you're that kind of person (hint: if you are listening to Skrillex at 1 PM right now then you totally are) and aren't prone to strokes, these are the correct socks for your feet. Available for purchase at  Topman stores and online at Topman.com.

  • PaulSmith
    Paul Smith Classic Signature Stripe Socks ($30): Are those whirly lollipops on your feet, or are you just happy it's not snow-globe weather outside anymore? Neither? That's fine because these multi-colored knitted socks from PS Classics are just as sweet. Available for purchase at select Paul Smith retailers and online at PaulSmith.co.uk.

  • Happy Socks
    Happy Socks Orange Giraffe Print ($12): Say goodbye to any lingering seasonal affective disorders and hello to bright, happiness with these playful animal print, combined cotton socks. Perfect for any safari vacation, or to brighten up any Safari-browsing work session. Available for purchase at select Happy Socks retailers and online at HappySocks.com.

  • Marc Jacobs
    Marc by Marc Jacobs Shasta Stripe Sock ($24): Hit em with a strong color-block, even if they can't always see it, with these gold and brown striped socks. They're the bee's knee...highs. Not really, they aren't knee highs, but they are cool. Available for purchase at select Marc by Marc Jacobs retailers and online at MarcJacobs.com.

  • JCrew
    J. Crew Bird's-Eye Pring Socks ($14.50): A little bit round-of-golf after the office, and a touch of grandmotherly kitsch, these cotton and nylon contrast printed socks will add some much needed green to your footwear ensembles. Available for purchase at select J.Crew stores and online at JCrew.com.

  • Uniqlo
    Uniqlo Short Socks ($4.30): Subtly below the ankle, and smart—they're made of high-tech fabrics to absorbe moisture and keep your feet dry—these striped, knitted socks are as cheap as they are functional. Available for purchase at  Uniqlo stores and online at Uniqlo.com.

  • Cobalt Raf
    Raf Simons ($65): Sure, it's a lot of cheddar to throw on something that you'll be literally sweating in all day, but think about how chic the inside of your shoes would be! Available for purchase at select Raf Simons retailers and online at SSENSE.com.

  • Men In Cities
    Men In Cities Dates in Music Socks ($15.34): B&W aren't the first two colors that come to mind in Spring (well, unless you're depressed/us), but this culturally-significant pair of socks (one of a set of three) pays homage to important dates in music history, specifically July 20, 1965 when Bob Dylan released "Like a Rolling Stone." What better way to say goodbye to Winter? Available for purchase at select Men In Cities retailers and online at MenInCities.com.

Beige for Summer?

Men in Cities June Beige

Our good friends at Men in Cities have gone against all odds and declared a full on beige moment to coincide with summer. Strange, since this is when you might be more apt to toss on that fire engine red belt or acqua marine tie, but maybe they’re onto something. The beige of their ties, pocket square and belt have reminded us that beige is quite a similar shade to Caribbean beach sand. And the wallets, which you might consider to be closer to brown, resemble at least one rusty shade that of the sun setting into said waters. Or they could all be varying shades of planks that make up the pier or boardwalk at your favorite beach. Beige, it turns out, is actually quite a suiting color come summer, plus it matches with everything. Even itself (just ask Duckie Brown). At least that’s our take. Men in Cities have their own take, as presented in the video clip below which is unveiled for the first time here.

There are 9 sharp pieces in all at menincities.com

In many ways, MenInCities, an e-commerce men’s lifestyle accessories brand, is the answered prayer for the man who doesn’t see himself walking into Bergdorf’s and shouting, “Show me the bracelets!” Don’t twist the reality though, cause this man being spoken of (Cuba Gooding Jr.?) certainly appreciates a bracelet, in fact, he wants a bracelet badly, maybe other accessories even, he just doesn’t know where to begin. Well, remember back in November when we told you about Yuvi Alpert’s MenInCities?  Consider this a necessary reminder.
Inspired by brands that have high quality craftsmanship but can be incorporated into everyday wear, the site offers ties, belts, money clips, pocket squares, pens, necklaces, flasks, and oh, even some cashmere warrior gloves, cause honestly, why not? The site offers a new collection of nine items released every month. Beyond that, the website offers a slew of unexpected collaborations with chefs, architects, and photographers.  Asked about his dream collaborations (“besides Bob Dylan?”) Alpert offered: “a meditation guru, a professor, a surfer, anything that introduces people to something new.”  In addition to a visual blog, the site offers — huzzah — how-to wear sketches.
Every single item on the site is priced at über-reasonable $39.99 (or you can sign up to become an Ambassador and receive everything for $29.99). We recommend: MenInCities + Neon Gold Records where Yuvi teamed up with Derek Davies, owner of Neon Gold Records (Passion Pit, Marina and the Diamonds, Ellie Goulding) to create a capsule tie collection suiting for, well, the burgeoning star. яндекс

New! Yuvi Alpert Launches an Online Concept Store, Men In Cities

Yuvi Alpert Men in CitiesDon’t ever accuse Yuvi Alpert of being lazy. The mastermind behind man-friendly accessories lines, Ruby Koos and YUVI, has dropped yet another project into our laps as of this afternoon—Men in Cities. Part store, part inspiration, the project has the goal of demystifying what’s probably the most difficult style category for guys—accessories. A good place to start here is the section called “Wear“, which contains inspirational photos and sketches of successful male accessorizing (because we know there’s lot of fails out there!). Other cool features—a monthly run of limited edition accessories by YUVI, all priced at under $40 with free shipping and handling (though if you sign up for the free ambassador program now, they’re all under $30). Also each month, Yuvi will collaborate with an “influential tastemaker in men’s fashion,” starting off with a slick looking passport case from photographer Justin Chung. The proceeds, %100 of them, will go to benefit Waves for Water, to benefit Hurricane Sandy Relief. #Bookmarked.
