Phil Oh and Susie Lau at Rochas
These two friends are of one mind when it comes to color: the more, the better! Both Phil Oh of Street Peeper and Susie Lau of Style Bubble are masters at colorblocking. Neither outfit is too clashy though: note that the colors repeat in variations of purple on him and green on her.

Karl-Edwin Guerre at Gucci
The cover of today’s New York Times features a photo of the Instagram guys, whose company was just bought for $1 billion. But what did they wear to the photo shoot with the New York Times? Ill-fitting jeans and slovenly, untucked button downs. It’s really a disgrace!
Guys: there is a difference between looking casually cool and looking like a slob, though Silicon Valley in particular seems blind to the distinction. Better to follow the lead of my fellow photo blogger Karl-Edwin Guerre of Guerreisms, who arrived at every day of an epic three week fashion season in Europe perfectly turned out in elegant clothes. Yet his clothes are comfortable, and they can move – otherwise there’s no way to make it through day after day on your feet. If a photographer can look this good, so can the founders of Instagram.

Hamish Bowles at Victoria Beckham
The ever-dapper Hamish Bowles emerged from Sunday’s Victoria Beckham show in a deep blue double breasted suit, moss green scarf and light gray overcoat. He’s never been one to shy away from color.

David Thielebeule and Treena Lombardo at Jason Wu
These two Allure editors are so stylish separately but even more stylish together. David Thielebeule and Treena Lombardo both wore expertly layered looks to yesterday’s Jason Wu show. Love all the texture on him and the play on proportions in her outfit.

Brown Suit and Orange Tie, Madison Avenue
Here’s another great menswear look in honor of the men’s shows going on right now in Milan. Just as ladylike attire made a huge comeback this fall for women, bespoke suits and tailoring are essential looks in menswear now.

Layered Look, Outside Ralph Lauren
January fashion – or lack thereof – has had me craving a look at some of last winter’s NY Fashion Week outfits. Many of these, like this preppy layered menswear look with a trapper hat, are still pretty inspiring.

Modified Lumberjack Look, Outside Rag & Bone
I have an officemate who’s out to singlehandedly destroy the popularity of the lumberjack look in Williamsburg by introducing new trends – rave, retro ’80s, anything but Taavo Somer woodsman style. But lumberjack, like leopard, can still acceptable in moderation. This guy at the Rag & Bone show balanced the beard and plaid shirt with crisp cuffed jeans, Ray Bans, and a nice cognac leather bag and boots for a look that’s more urban than back woods. Williamsburg, are you listening?

Gray Bowler Hat and Suspenders, Jazz Age Lawn Party
Some of the best outfits at the Jazz Age Lawn Party mixed new and old – like a bowler hat, suspenders, high waisted trousers and a plain V-neck tee.

On the Dance Floor, Jazz Age Lawn Party
Big band jazz by the Dreamland Orchestra might have been old fashioned, but it was certainly danceable. The vintage fashion came alive on the dance floor. More photos after the jump. (more…)

1920s Menswear, Jazz Age Lawn Party
Many of the men at the Jazz Age Lawn Party wore knickers and argyle knee socks, a look that would have been considered positively relaxed and sporty in the 1920s. But men have it slightly easier than women when it comes to recreating ’20s fashion: vests, ties and newsboy caps like these are still being made today.

In the Crowd, 2011 CFDA Awards
Anytime there was a dull moment on the CFDA Awards red carpet (which was rarely), we turned around to scan the crowd of non celeb guests. Often they were just as well dressed, like this guy in an expertly styled preppy look. The bow tie, windowpane plaid shirt and khaki blazer with pocket square are perfect for a formal-ish summer event.

Vintage Khaki Jumpsuit, Madison Avenue
Really loved this fashion forward look on a man on Madison Avenue. The khaki jumpsuit is vintage, but it echoes Phillip Lim‘s critically acclaimed menswear collection.
