Eric Javits Hats, Central Park Conservancy
Love this look in vivid greens and blues on this pair at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon. The straw hats are both Eric Javits.

Cream Colored Suit and Hat, Central Park Conservancy
The few men who attended the Central Park Conservancy luncheon last week dressed the part, like this guest in a beautiful cream colored suit and hat with a pale pink tie and pink pocket square. He’s carrying his dress shoes in that plastic bag – a practical choice on a rainy day.

Nautical Stripes, Mulberry Street
Love the nautical influences in his outfit, from the stripes to the cabled sweater to the khakis and boat shoes. The other good thing about this trend: it’s not just stylish but supremely comfortable for running errands around the city.

Sailor Stripes, Brooklyn Flea Williamsburg
Here’s how guys can work sailor stripes for spring – bold, vibrant and crisp. I also like how the white soles of his sneakers (intentionally?) match the white tires of his Moth bike.

Khakis and a Burberry Trench, Seventh Avenue
A great look for a guy outside the Oscar de la Renta bridal show. Also note the rolled up cuffs and colorful socks – a key look for men right now.

Hamish Bowles at Oscar de la Renta
Bright color, one of the major trends for spring 2011, has always been in fashion for Vogue editor Hamish Bowles. Here’s how the look can play out beautifully in menswear.

Brad Goreski at DVF
Other news in blues: Some trend forecasters say that cerulean blue will be the color to wear this spring. (The Rag & Bone jeans in cobalt blue are pretty tempting.) Stylist Brad Goreski, who just got his own Bravo show, wore a bright blue Man Men-esque suit and tie at the Diane von Furstenberg show.

Man in a Plastic Chapeau, Costume National
This outfit is not for the faint of heart, but I found it utterly fascinating. He kind of looks like a young Prince (the artist known as) in a dramatic clear plastic hat, the white shirt tufted with roses, vintage bag and oversize stopwatch. Gender-bending genius.

Red Blazer and White Jeans, Costume National
I have been neglecting to post photos of the men of fashion week, but many were impeccably dressed, like this guy. This is how the spring color trend can play out beautifully for men: a bright red blazer paired with a purple v-neck and white jeans (which many men are already wearing now) and luxe leather accessories. Perfection.

Man in a Fur Coat, Rebecca Minkoff
It wasn’t just the women dressed in madly over-the-top clothes at New York Fashion Week. This guy, accompanying Miss Jay, arrived in a cocoon-like fur coat on a cold day at the Rebecca Minkoff show.

Nautica Collection, AW 2011
Nautica’s fall 2011 collection was inspired by the Sleeping Bear Dunes region of Lake Michigan and showed a pitch-perfect eye for colors derived from boating. Pops of “safety orange” color should be popular next fall and winter; on the water, this is the exact color of the inflatable marks used in racing. I like the idea of taking the eye-catching quality of something so integral and practical and incorporating it into everyday clothing. The slate grays are also an excellent match for the pebbly Lake Michigan shoreline. (more…)

Layers of Gray, Nautica
Though in my last post I complained about the sea of gray at NY Fashion Week, I’m now going to do a 180 and post this photo of a guy in gray. Why? Because saying one thing and turning around and doing the opposite is so fashion, darling!
But really: one advantage of a neutral palette is that it brings the focus to texture and material, like this chunky knit sweater under a herringbone wool coat and a plaid hat. The unzipped patent leather boots keep it from getting too conservative.

Two Party Looks, Bubble & Cube
One of the most stressful things about fashion week can be deciding what to wear – especially to the after parties. You know the quandary: dressed up, but not too much, making an effort, but not trying too hard. On the left, she wears an adorable Stevie Nicks-style hat and sexy but seasonally-appropriate black top with slit sleeves. A pop of color from hot pink lipstick is the finishing touch. On the right, this guy is on the forefront of a new trend: piled-on accessories for a male maximalist style.

Porkpie Hat, 14th Street
Before we segue into the sometimes zany world of NY Fashion Week guys, here’s what downtown guys are wearing. The porkpie hat and double breasted coat conjure up the “Boardwalk Empire” era of 1920s toughs and the show’s star Michael Pitt, a huge style influencer right now.

Pendleton Coat, Madison Avenue
This photo was taken on Monday, when the high temperature in Manhattan was 18 degrees. As the weather gets colder and colder, the throwback to the glory days of outdoor gear by Pendleton and L.L. Bean makes sense – though this outfit takes true grit to wear. Kudos to this guy for gutsiness.
