Boyz, Boyz, Boyz.

I've been trying to explain my love of fashion to Nathan for a while and at this point he is really starting to understand it. I'm going to go as far as saying he supports it (though he is the kind of man that would support me becoming a rodeo clown in drag if it tickled my trigger). So this has gotten me ta thinkin' about men's fashion lately. If I had my own little paper boy dollie, what would I do with him?

Here's a mix of fashionistors? that I enjoy and what I'll be suggesting the lover boy wears this fall:




Devendra Banhart (with Natalie Portman): The matching pea-coats may be a bit much but atleast he tried to accessorize a bit. Either way, its a good looking coat and the murse is awesome. Nathan has a similar coat, actually, but I'm not going to be pushing satchels just yet.




The Avett Brothers: Having seen them in concert a few times, I can safely say that sweat can totally be a fashion accessory. I love their shaggedness with the blazers and fitted pants. Nathan loves them too! They do the neo-indie southern gentleman thing really well.







Marc Jacobs: Yes, the man himself. His style is kitschy, playful, cheeky, but sophisticated. He knows the right cuts and he knows how to wear cartoon characters without looking like he lives in his mom's basement. I can't help but love everything he does, even if I know I'd never wear it. This one is a little far-fetched as far as Nathan is convinced but he definitely has a soft spot for nerds (AHEM.) and I think marcy marc will grow on him. Notice oversized glasses: YES!





Y Mas!: V-neck cashmere sweater, plaid scarves, ray-bans, thin plaid button up, leather backpack or...GASP! murse, cowboy boots (anything pointy really.. square toes are no-no), medium to long hair (warm and beautiful), journal, some sort of personally significant charm hanging well into chest hair.
Right now I'm working on getting him into tighter jeans (a la his gorgeous hiene). A girl can dream, can't she?
