Barker Clive Loafer

The beauty thing about loafers, is that they can go a lot of different routes and still be appropriate. Whether, “penny,” with some rolled jeans or “monk strapped,” with a suit, the slip on loafer has a lot of diversity.
Barker of England, keeps the tradition flying, with these gorgeous ox blood, tassel numbers.

Brad Goreski in Prada Wingtip Brogues and Gant Madras Blazer

This multi-color light cotton blazer features elbow patches, buttoned sleeves, contrasting lining, and two vents at the back. He completed his look with a pair of dark denim jeans and brown Prada wingtip brogues ($795). 

Thom Brown Wingtip Brogue

We can never get enough wingtips. And we’re loving the fact that every designer this season seems to be dropping a version of the iconic style. These here, from Thom Brown are relatively conservative, bearing much of what has historically come to be the essence of the wingtip. However, the Thom Browne models have some intriguing details.
The sole is a simple crepe, similar to that of a desert boot. This makes the shoe incredibly comfortable, as compared to a wood and leather bottom. Meticulous, white, contrast stitching pushes their street cred and the famous Thom Brown striped pull tab, adds a fun finale to the whole show.

Prada Spring/Summer 2011 Wingtip Espadrilles vs Prada Fall/Winter 2011 Shoes

The success of Prada's Spring Summer 2011 Espadrilles Brogues sees this popular design make a comeback for Fall Winter 2011. But this time, the summer element of using jute rope trimmings (espadrilles style) has been removed and exposing the stripe detail sides on the soles. Colours are also adopting a more sombre tone, in deep burgundy and timeless black.

Christian Louboutin Denim Rollerboy Spikes

The Christian Louboutin Rollerboy Spikes were quite popular in leather, so it was only a matter of time before a denim version ($1,195) was added to the collection. More suitable for casual outings, these loafers feature the Christian Louboutin signature studded spikes embedded throughout the navy denim fabric; this is a perfect complement to the tan wooden sole.

Mr. Hare Miller Oxfords

Sometimes there’s no beating the classics, and Mr. Hare gives us one hell of a classic, with these Miller Oxfords. A classic, perfect design is left well enough alone, with Mr. Hare opting to leave the cap-toe oxford shape unchanged, merely choosing to add a scotchgrain finish to the uppers for a bit of character. Polish when needed, and brush daily for best results. Available from gravitypope.




                                                              I love Mr Hare shoes!

Paul Smith Brunswick Brogue

Paul Smith gives us a functional take on the brogue with the Brunswick, a black, distressed model with an eye towards the walking man. The familiar brogue shape is here, but instead of stiff leather, Paul Smith uses a soft, distressed black leather. The soles are rubber rather than heavy wood, and all these cheanges mean this shoe is easy on the feet after a long day pounding the pavement. Available direct from Paul Smith.

Power Dressing

First popularized in the 1980s, power dressing refers to an effort by the wearer to convey a sense of dominance, confidence and professionalism through his style of dress and hair. During the greed decade, power dressing was characterized by boxy suits with significant shoulder padding, double-breasted suits, dress shirts, briefcases, and silk ties. The overall palette of this wardrobe was dark, although power dressers understood exactly how to use bold, colorful accents, such as a red tie paired with red socks to heighten the impression they left on others.

Recently, following the slight upturn in the economy, designers have brought power dressing back, minus the ‘80s edge. Here's how to pull off power dressing in 2010.

Power Dressing
	Mr. Hare Miller Scotch Grain Basic black leather shoes is a must for any power dresser. With their soft scotch-grain leather construction and a high-shine toe cap, these slim shoes from Mr. Hare are a fine example of the simple, luxurious style you're aiming for. As you would expect from shoes handcrafted in Tuscany, these come with a hefty price tag, but it’s worth it if you plan on power dressing with any regularity. Pair them with dress socks in a bold color (say, a deep purple), matching your pocket square or tie to your socks. Price: $662 Where to buy: See Mrhare.co.uk for the nearest location
	Brooks Brothers Fitzgerald Fine Stripe 1818 Suit The cornerstone of power dressing is, of course, the suit. But not just any suit. By definition, a power suit should put all the other suits in your wardrobe to shame. It's the suit that commands respect and makes you look -- and feel -- like a million bucks. It should also be one of the finest suits you own, so prepare to save up for it and then splurge when you find the right one. Brooks Brothers’ Fitzgerald pinstripe suit is a shining example of a modern-day power suit. Narrow lapels, higher armholes, a two-button closure, slim-fitting flat-front trousers, impeccable Italian tailoring, and a flattering drape all combine to give the wearer a lean, elegant look.
