Style Rocket

Plenty of reason to keep your shirt on here. The best of the best, from polos, oxfords, tees, and tanks are just a click away. Make a clean statement with a white oxford from Dolce & Gabanna. There's nothing bad about Malo's printed button-ups, and polos from Ben Sherman and Hurley will have you high on your horse. Stay true to your crew with tees from designs Grail and OQuinn.

Who wears the pants? That's right, you do. From chinos to khakis, linen to denim, you'll be strutting your stuff in style. Jeans for men have come a long way, and thankfully so. Now high-end denim lines that once only catered to women have let men in on the luxury as well. It's about time, seeing as the white tee and jeans uniform applies to nearly every man on the planet. True Religion, Seven and Hugo Boss get it right every time.

Until Autumn begins, look to light-weight wool, linen, and even cotton to make a date to the movies extra-chic and an afternoon lunch extra-charming. When it cools off, look for heavier fabrics and darker colors; don't count anything out--even leather takes its turn at the blazer trend, making the classic cut a modern marvel.

Look to Dolce and Gabbana, Cerruti 1881, and Yohji Yamamoto to have you playing the part of Mr. Smooth not Mr. Rogers. Ugly Christmas sweaters need not apply, and your dad's cardigan from the days of argyle gone by seem obsolete next to modern day fashions. Designers get it: sweaters and sweatshirts are the primary staple of a guy's wardrobe (second only, perhaps, to the t-shirt).

No longer is it acceptable to have only two pairs, guys! One pair in black and one in brown doesn't cut it. Slipons, loafers, running shoes, and athletic kicks are more excuse than ever to keep your simple tshirt and jeans wardrobe, and make your style statement south of the knees. When you let your feet do the walking when it comes to being fashionable, the rest of you can just kick back.

Forget bling bling and huge, chunky chains. Men's jewelry is about classic, timeless pieces that make a style statement subtle, rather than a screaming it from across a room. A watch does more than keep the time, and rings are an easy way to make a unique piece your jewelry staple. Rings are manly--not just in boxing! Forget weddings and Class of '95; S.T. Dupont's interesting designs are perfect for everyday wear, integrating texture and geometry into their collection.

Okay, Dick Tracey--it's trench time. Throw on this light-weight option and feel like the ultimate private investigator--with way more style factor. YS for Men Yohji Yamamoto has a version that will leave you feeling like your favorite comic book hero, without the tights of course. Adidas Originals make old school fresher than ever, and add color and funk to your wardrobe.

Breast stroke, side stroke...what the heck--you can doggie-paddle if you want to. Just make sure you do it in high-style with swimwear of the most fashionable form. If you're hesistant to sport a big Hawaiian print, Prada makes a pair of trunks look just like your favorite khaki shorts, the ultimate in swimwear chic. Hugo Boss gets the pattern trick right, with subtle colors and prints, and Calvin Klein takes you straight to the Riviera with their European-cut swim boxers. Stop calling them banana hammocks--they're very stylish overseas.

Picking up the tab is so much easier when you're pulling out a good-looking wallet. Put your money away in style in Prada's wallet. It's is simple and classic. Organize your receipts with S.T. Dupont's version, an above-and-beyond wallet when it comes to function. Keep your pants up with a belt from Paul Frank and get incognito with some Valentino shades. Men's accessories have always been about function, but they are also the easiest way to add some flavor and style.
