I was really excited that Brooks reached out to me to style a new pair of their sneakers from their Heritage collection. I knew they had well-known running shoes but wasn’t really aware that they had casual footwear – which is right up my alley because vintage trainers are one of my favorite style sneakers. The Men’s Vanguard from their Mother Nature collection is super lightweight and very comfortable. I really dig it’s silhouette and the versatility to be able to dress them up or down. These classic colors really play into that retro vibe that I like. My style overall is mostly casual so I styled them in that classic, school-boy look, but I can definitely see myself rocking these with some fitted slacks, a plain white tee and a sports coat…I’m a big fan of mixing dressy with casual and these are the type of kicks that would work well with that look. I’m going to keep my eye on this brand as I’ve noticed they’re been doing some limited edition collabs with other companies and being a big sneakerhead, I like to get my hands on those exclusive pieces! If you’re in the market for some classic kicks with a throwback vibe, definitely check out Brooks’ Heritage Collection. I’m a big fan!

BlueCollarPrep | Versatile Menswear Style Blog BlueCollarPrep | Versatile Menswear Style BlogBeen on the hunt for an army green spring jacket and scored this one on sale for about $40 at Gap. I was actually happy it was a little chillier last weekend so I was able to wear it. I also scored 2 dope sweaters on sale at H&M. Really feelin’ the thick cable knit and rips on this one! I feel like these classic Adidas can easily give any outfit that street style look that I like. Happy I got to rock these new pick-ups before next year – but anxious for this warmer weather to finally stick around!

SOLID BASICS

Like I’ve said once before…sometimes I’m really just into wearing solids and everyday basics – with a few accessories. When you’re wearing a piece like this hat I got – you def have to keep the outfit a little simpler. These boots might be one of my favorite pairs and I’m constantly getting asked what kind and where I got them from – they’re the Beckett 8-Tie Boot Grey Felt Boots by Dr. Marten (unfortunately they’re an older model and no longer available). They’re more fitted around the ankle so to really be able to show them off I gave my Levi’s an old-school tight roll…an instant way to gives any pants that jogger pant look! I recently bought these new Ray-Ban Round Metal Sunglasses and really dig the vintagey feel of the shape of them. As always, my go-to bracelet is the limited edition cuff by Love Bullets – still on the hunt for more men’s jewelry!

A POP OF COLOR

So amped that it’s finally feeling like spring. I was kind of getting sick of my winter clothes, so it feels good to shed some layers and be able to wear short sleeves again! As I get older I find myself more and more into just wearing basics, but still like to give each look a little edge. I’ve had this Izod jacket for a few years now and was honestly not a fan of it anymore until I got inspired to cuff up the sleeves a bunch to give it a new look. Still diggin’ the color of it, so glad I could make it work again! Now that it’s warming up I can get away with rockin’ my fairly new docs without socks and a cuffed jean – simple, but the docs give it that bit of edge that I like. I never used to be a fan of too much jewelry, but I borrowed my wife’s ring, that was my late father-in-laws, and really dug how it looked – now I’m officially on the hunt to find some more men’s jewelry!
