Listen, as the proud owner of a pair of acid-washed, elastic waist jeans that resemble nothing more than a pair of maternity pants for men, I’m clearly a big supporter of taking some fashion risks. But I will admit that the current penetration of leopard print into the world of menswear has given me pause. Much love to Steven Tyler, but this is a trend I can’t 100% endorse — minus a few exceptions.
Leopard print for men is certainly nothing new. Countless illustrious men throughout history have donned the skin of this elusive animal, from Dionysus to Alexander the Great, from Dali to Amber Rose. But it does seem to have some new life behind it.

That would be Burberry, Paul Smith, Acne and A Bathing Ape, among others, not to mention recent looks from Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Alexander McQueen and Jeremy Scott for Adidas, all making use of the Official Fabric of Menopause.
But just because your spiritual guru does it, doesn’t mean you should, too.

Complain all you want when a beautiful weekend in the high 70′s is followed by a week of rain — that’s spring in the Northeast. So to be prepared for the ups and downs of the season, why not turn to an old standby: the crewneck sweatshirt. Despite the best efforts of Justin Bieber, hoodies no longer reign supreme; everyone from American Apparel to Alexander Wang has their own take on the ultimate layering piece, meaning you can spend anywhere from $20 to triple digits. Thankfully, if you do splurge, it can be a sound investment — keep the shirts around for cool summer nights, crisp fall days and under heavy coats in the winter.

Perhaps taking the Amelia Earhart theme one step too far, a male model at the Acne show demonstrates what can only be referred to as his take on the infamous “side boob.” Blame it on the lighting (or maybe soy milk)…
