J in Guess

There he is, in his cool Guess jacket. Doesn’t that hat just top it off.

My hubby and I really love shopping together. We often hear friends tell us how rare it is, but not for us. For Christmas I gave him a gift certificate to buy the coat he really really had his heart set on. I didn’t buy it myself because my hubby is not that easy to buy for so I thought that this would be fun. He will look at pages and pages on the internet before he really thinks he likes something. Well he didn’t find anything so I said lets go to Macy’s where you can try the coats on and see how they look on you. He said okay and we went the next day to the mall in our area.

He decided to go to Macy’s. As a woman, I think that there are so many different colors to choose from; but the color choices were black, camel, brown or gray.

So with that neutral palette the three things he was looking for were:
1. A car length coat so he can get in and out of the car easy.
2. A coat that fits his physique and not oversized.
3. Modern youthful look, urban cool.

He tried on this LondonFog coat in the store and it was fine but he felt it had no pizazz. Pizazz such as darts, hood, detailing so we passed on this one. It was a great coat but wasn’t a home run for him.

This Kenneth Cole peacoat was almost a winner when he tried it on but it was a little short on him.

The winner after being in the store for about an hour and a half was the Guess jacket that hubby has on in the picture. Mind you, we had went to the register and bought the Calvin Klein coat first. He said that it felt better than the Guess coat, I liked that coat but I said to myself he is the one who is wearing it.

Well as we finish paying for it we ran into a guy friend and I said in our conversation that we bought this coat but take a look this one. The coat has a hood, side pockets, and welt pockets.

My hubby started to take a different look at it. Our friend and I said try it on again. It’s a winner he says, he was loving that coat. The other coat was returned because it was not what he really wanted. I’m so glad we took another look. He’s enjoying the compliments on how cool he looks.

I can only speak about my guy and he often tells me that I talk about womenswear but men like to be stylish too. And I know that my hubby likes to dress up. Men like to look put-together.  Since he said that, I will be posting on more menswear style tips and clothing sections in future posts.

I am so happy that I don’t have to get a male model out of a magazine to do this post, I got my best friend.
