If you’re in search for quality staples of the best fit and material, then Dégaine is your label. Dégaine’s Gregory Abbou wisely caters to the current season with cashmere and supima cotton dressed in warm pastels.

This past summer, we previewed Nicholas K’s spring collection in a feature utilizing runway images. Now, we take the opportunity to view the lookbook. Transitioning from the runway to the lookbook, looks become more grounded and appealing. Vibrant African sunsets and safari adventures translate to a energizing color palette. Designer Nicholas Kunz compliments these colors with a relaxed range of practical pieces that are distinguished by the fine details. Whether it is the way a jacket wraps from one side to the next or a how a collar falls on a knit, Nicholas K has you covered and ready to layer.

Nautical in nature, the current Wood Wood collection draws upon the common motif without much risk. Navy, white and gray with hints of red dress a collection of safe basics. However, saddle shoes make a smart companion to many of the collection’s looks, while flowers make an interesting and unexpected appearance. Simple and uncomplicated, the collection is suited for the man who wants to remain stylish without all the fuss.





Easygoing and full of zest, the Paul Smith Jeans line takes itself less serious than the mainline. The latest collection celebrates the spring season in a vigorous grungy fashion. Light washes are in sync with muted brights, while tops take on a variety of bold graphic prints. Rolled or plain and relaxed, Paul Smith knows how to do casual in an elevated fashion that is uncomplicated, yet in vogue. The spring collection is currently available for sale at the Paul Smith web store.
