Men HATE Shopping!

J.Hilburn Logo   
If your husband is like most men, he most likely really doesn’t like shopping with you but dislikes shopping for himself even more!  Because of this, I have decided to offer a new service for my male clients.  I will bring the shopping to them! 

I recently became a partner with J.Hilburn, a luxury men’s clothier.  They offer 100% custom dress shirts, made to measure trousers and personalized suiting.  Not to mention an entire collection of ready to wear off the rack clothing…Even AG jeans!  The best part is that you are getting high-end quality clothing at less expensive prices with beautiful fabrics and great style. 

Of course I will still always go shopping with anyone who wants to shop, but now there is an option for those men who don’t want to!

This fall there are a lot of things in the stores I am not really a fan of.  In fact, I haven’t enjoyed shopping for myself as much as usual because the trends are not as much my style. So many tops and jackets are big and boxy and you all know how I feel about that! However, don’t let me fool you!  I have still found plenty of things I like.   
 
I am a huge fan of the pantsuit (jumpsuits).  Sometimes they can be hard to fit but if you find the right one it can be flattering because it works like a column, creating a strong vertical line.  As we all know, verticals are great for making us look taller and skinnier!  
 
I also love all the pants with prints and colors on them.  This is definitely a trend and one that most likely won’t last too many seasons but it is fun.  Talk about adding interest to an outfit!  I personally like the jeans with animal prints best.  If the print is small it creates a distraction and can make legs look slimmer.   Be careful with these pants…many of the colored jeans are great but some of them, depending on color and fabric, can make your legs look bigger than they are.    Go for a darker color and a thicker fabric or a cord.   
 
Because I am such a girly-girl I am loving the lace tops with the peplum waists.  Tops, jackets and dresses with peplums are definitely a trend so I would not spend a lot of money on them.  There are a few pros and cons.  For example, for someone who doesn’t have a defined waistline a peplum can create a wonderful illusion of a very defined waistline.   Someone that may want to avoid this trend is someone with longer legs.  It creates a very strong horizontal line at the hip line which will make the legs look even longer and make you look extremely out of proportion.
