1 A New Year, A New You Written By Joel Lyons The year 2010 has come to a close, and that s our cue to say goodbye to the mistakes we made in favor of resolutions to become better men in the near future. Want to know something else we should say goodbye to? The confines known as our closet. It s time to bid farewell to our collective fashion-backward style and clothing diet of T-shirts and jeans. It s time to add some color. It s time to add some edge. It s time to actually give some thought to what we put on in the morning. Switching up your style is possibly the easiest way to start making a change in character. That outside metamorphosis sets the tone to build confidence and demonstrate your personality, as well as speaks volumes about you without saying a word. With the second decade of the new millennium heavily upon us, yesteryear s wardrobe just won t cut it anymore. Get fitted with a few tips tailored to your lifestyle, conquer your biggest fashion fears, and dress for success. 52 rebelmagazine.com // winter 2011

2 Lark & Wolff by Steven Alan microdot shirt (Urbanoutfitters.com) 1Weekend Traveler When the clock strikes 5 on Friday afternoon, the Weekend Traveler is out the door and out of town until Monday morning. Possessing the ability to cram an impossible amount of activity into 48 hours, this guy is experienced with packing light and wearing a wardrobe that works for multiple situations. Dark denim, which tends to be more acceptable in nightclubs and some higher-end establishments, is a must, as is a long-sleeve button-up that offers protection from the cold, but is light enough for warmer weather. Shoes must be dark enough to pass a bouncer s inspection, but casual and comfortable enough for walking around the city. Luggage consists of a bag big enough to hold a few necessities, while the jacket, watch and hat add a bit of style and modern Indiana Jones intrigue.

3 2 Calvin Klein regular fit solid XLA sport shirt (Calvinklein.com) Date Night If your love life with your significant other has evolved from nights on the town to takeout and house clothes, it s time to spruce things up. Keeping it casual: a nice pair of denim and a button-up shirt will transition well for almost any going out situation, from a sit-down dinner to hitting up a club. The sneakers make walking around town comfortable and fashionable, not to mention easier for busting a move (yes, you will be dancing). Add a vest buttoned up or not along with a fedora and a belt to punctuate the look that s simple to pull off, yet channels confidence, thoughtfulness, and a strong fashion-forwardness.

4 J. Press striped web belt (Urbanoutfitters.com) 3A Touch of Color The plain old T-shirt and jeans combo, the style choice of so many men, does so very little to convey personality unless, of course, you have that clever Here are my tickets to the gun show screen tee. But subtle additions of color, collars and cuffs communicate fun and flair without being embarrassing or uncomfortably flamboyant. Add some new energy with a bold-colored polo, an eye-catching belt and second-look pair of jeans. Bored with basic black or white shoes? Embrace the gray area in between for some fancy footwork. People will notice a difference and will compliment you for it.

5 4From Work to After- Hours If midweek mingling is a part of your routine, chances are you don t have time to run home and change before the party begins. You need an outfit that works for the boardroom and the bar. Accomplish a professional look by combining the basic button-up, blazer, casual dress pants, boots and tie. Loosen up by unbuttoning the blazer or rolling up your shirtsleeves for that after-work industry mixer. Don t think of the tie as a noose leave it on to convey your professional status, though loosening it a bit and letting it flow in multiple directions is a hipster trend that transitions well to happy hour.
