For April, popular menswear shopping site MrPorter.com has kicked off their newest partnership, GQ Selects, a monthly selection of products cultivated by GQ magazine’s editorial staff, featuring key menswear pieces. The inaugural edit only features one denim product: an A.P.C. Slim Fit Washed Denim Jacket in an unexpected hue for spring in a tailored fit. It looks to be a derivative from the oxblood color craze which swept the fashion world at the beginning of winter. What do you think? Do you love this jacket?

A cool feature at JCrew.com is an advice page called Jack Knows Best, in which “Jack” dispenses menswear styling tips and act more or less like a fashion concierge (you can even email him!). One of Jack’s latest tips are how you can wear a blazer with jeans:
“First, pick a clean, slim jean like our 484 in dark indigo or, now that it’s summer, a white jean. No rips, fading or whiskering—keep it simple. Then, go for a textured jacket because it’s a better match for the casual look of denim. Think seersucker or linen for warm months and herringbone or tweed for cooler ones. I think Andy Warhol always did the blazer and 501® jeans look really well—with a little bit of irony.”

Skinny jeans for men are back. Stylist/blogger Justin Livingston (wearing Diesel) shows men how to wear skinny jeans this winter in his blog, Oh, Munrowe. Actually, skinny jeans are his staple jeans fit, as there are pictures of him wearing them throughout the year. His style reminds us of runway trends at Burberry Prorsum, Paul Smith and Raf Simons, when oversized coats were worn over slimmer pant silhouettes. And, it’s no secret that women don’t mind seeing men in skinny jeans, especially when it’s pulled together well with some great wintry staples. Ready to put your old skinny jeans back into rotation? Here are some ideas—à la Oh, Munrowe—on how to style your jeans.

A Breton stripe shirt and a pair of jeans is a classic combo that will never go out of style. In fact, it’s safe to say it’s a definite must-have in any wardrobe. And if an Andy Warhol or The Ramones reference isn’t enough to get you on board with this look, then we’re certain this version of the classic by Tenue de Nimes and Armor Lux, dubbed the Dutch Breton, might just do the trick. The red, white, and blue color combo is perfect for any pair of dark jeans or denim jacket. Pair it with a cool combat boot for a modern twist or keep it retro with a cool driving shoe. Get your hand on one at Tenue De Nimes!

As the season of layering knits and donning hats creeps up on us, inspiration is showing up rapid-fire on blogs across the web for fall fashion ensembles. If you find yourself in need of second-hand styling, you’re in the right place. Whether you prefer the scholastic preppy look with monograms and polos or something a little more downtown NYC with rough edges, you’ll find what you need to get started below…
Tony from Paris mixes a skinny fit jean with super-casual slip-on shoes and a cuffed up workshirt.
Giuliano from Zurich gets preppy with a light color v-neck sweater and grey stone wash jeans. He knows a thing or two about playing off his dark facial features to make a real statement.
Martin from Sweden adds a pop of red to a blue and grey ensemble and throws classy shoes in the mix. His medium-wash jeans play nicely off the red collar. The finishing touch, we’re not gonna lie, is the pompadour hair ‘do!
Oleg from Moscow has his browns down to a science. His earth tone sweater of a bright blue wash denim workshirt (buttoned up to the top—details, details!) are the perfect top to his rich burnt orange pants.
Youri from Casablanca goes for a British rocker look with a brimmed hat and denim vest over a t-shirt and skinny jeans. This look can be worn all day and all night.

Here’s the play by play of the Our Legacy spring/summer 2011 campaign: Man marches down the street topless. Man eats Chinese food in double denim. Man hangs on gate exposing mid-section. Man stops bus with bare hands. Man gets topless again. Man holds up extremely clean shirt. Man stops s truck with bare hands, in double denim. Finally, man wears a suit and listens to headphones with bare feet.
Is this a non-stop stream of visual metaphores for society, or just a fun campaign? We’ll let you decide.

Menswear street style is popping up more often around here and that’s because we’re all about seeing dapper dudes pull out their summer style in all the right aways. Case in point? This street style shot from Mark C., a student form Nottingham is totally rocking. His look, as he states it, is simple-yet-complex. The denim workshirt accompanied by cropped black slacks and thin black suspenders goes from casual to charming-as-hell (and a little enticingly flamboyant as well). The black hat and shoes make the look a study in silhouette and contrast rather than texture and color, though you can’t hold back a denim shirt from infusing those two elements, too. Bravo, Mark!
