Good Look #12

Via Michael Bastian F/W 2012

Thank you, Michael!

Earlier I talked about how excited I was about the Spring/Summer 2013 line of Michael Bastian and the runway show that was going to be streamed live via GQ.com.

It was truly fantastic. The man knows how to make a suit casual for the summer for coolness and comfort, but give you an unparalleled looking fashion sense.

I am not one to ever buy a full look. Bits and pieces here and there that would eventually make up my personal style, but when it comes to Michael Bastian I am swoon and would buy everything a wear it just how it was styled.

Here a some shots from the show that I really enjoyed, along with the full runway video.

 

 

 

 

A Must Watch

Tomorrow at noon one of my favorite designers and a large influence for me, Michael Bastian will be debuting his Spring 2013 line live on GQ.com. If you have the opportunity you should check it out. I'm sure it will not disappoint knowing how amazing the Fall/Winter line was.
Feel free to check that out here.

The Man with the Great Layering

                          

Seeing as the cold weather is getting closer and closer I wanted to talk about something a bit more casual for a change and how to apply it to your wardrobe for the coming months.
Now, I know later has always been a key staple in fall/winter fashion, but what I have yet to see make it's way to the light style wise is the layering of multiple sweaters, scarves, shirts, and vests as much as I would like.
This topic is a frequent one with my good friend Nick and I.
If you're looking for an example of what I'm talking about then go out and rent the American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Daniel Craig's character Mikael Blomkvist has what the costume designer for the movie, Rooney Mara, describes as "Very chic, but also very natural and very comfortable. He has a very casual elegance about himself."
As I have stated in articles prior, it is something to strive for that your style looks effortless, but so very well put together to fit your personality.
Modification to already created styles to fit how you feel comfortable is, of course, a style all it's own and that's what RUDESUIT is all about.
For this season I will be applying this look to my own quite often. Using some of my favorite cardigans and cable knit sweaters from J. Crew and some classic blue or crisp white Oxford button downs

A little side note for fall fashion: Don't iron your button downs.
Let Michael Bastian Explain.
