J.Crew Sterling-Silver Tie Clip

THE ASKMEN TAKE

Put a twist on all your spring ensembles by finishing off a cool look with an even cooler accessory. Not strictly just a functional device to keep your tie on the straight and narrow, this J.Crew Sterling-silver tie clip is also a stylish piece in and of itself, particularly when paired with a funky tie and a half-sleeve, casual button-down. Essentially, whenever you’re considering wearing a tie, be it for fun or for a formal event, no outfit will be complete without a sleek tie clip, such as the J.Crew Sterling-silver tie clip, this spring.

78 UNIQUENESS

Pick up on this burgeoning trend now and you’ll seem like you’ve really got your finger on the pulse of style. To be really unique, consider getting this particular model engraved with something personal or even downright naughty on the back -- it’ll be your (barely concealed) secret. To really stand apart in the style department, make sure you don’t just wear your J.Crew Sterling-silver tie clip with a suit and dress shirt; experiment with all manners of casual apparel, like a button-up and tie combo underneath a track jacket or hoodie, and teamed with relaxed bottoms like jeans or shorts.

DURABILITY

At $85, the J.Crew Sterling-silver tie clip is a bit expensive for a small piece of metal. However, this must-have spring accessory should last you a lifetime, making it a worthy investment. Yes, it may come and go as a trend item, but be assured it will always come back and it won’t take up much room in your closet. To ensure the longevity of this piece, keep it in a box or resealable bag when you’re not wearing it to prevent tarnishing. When it’s looking a little discolored, wash it with warm soap and water, or try a rust-busting mix of 1 cup warm water, a dash of ammonium chloride and a 1/2 teaspoon of dish soap.

Urban Outfitters Ivy Hat

 THE ASKMEN TAKE

Collegiate-cool saw a return to men’s fashion with ivy league-inspired apparel turning up in several major menswear shows for fall and at New York Fashion Week’s Spring/Summer 2010collections. Think emblazoned jackets, stripes and lots of plaid. Made of soft wool and polyester, the Urban Outfitters Ivy Hat is an ideal way to try out the trend in a non-committal way. Wear it with oxford shirts, a blazer or corduroys.The only rule to remember is to avoid going preppy head to toe. Avoid a too-perfect look by combining this hat with a crumpled oxford and some seriously distressed jeans, for example.

UNIQUENESS

Picking up a new hat is always a great way to add quirk to your ensembles as well as showcase the latest trends in a way that won’t make it seem like you live for fashion. With splashes of blue, red and yellow on a black-and-white background, this hat will pair well with most other pieces in your wardrobe, particularly light-hued dress shirts or dark T-shirts.

Additionally, the super short brim on this cap gives it a very of-the-moment feel, and though you certainly won’t be the only one sporting this style this season, the plaid pattern ensures you (and your outfit) will be more memorable. On a practical level, a woven lining and wool exterior provides some insulation for your head on those early fall days when it’s not yet time to break out your tuque, but you’re starting to feel a bit of a nip in the air.

DURABILITY

Because the Urban Outfitters Ivy Hat is made from wool, you can’t just throw it in the washing machine. To keep it in good repair, you’ll be relegated to spot-cleaning; however, unless you experience an unfortunate accident with a pigeon, you probably won’t need to tidy your hat at all this fall. Come winter, you won’t be wearing it, so place it somewhere it won’t get too dusty because you’ll want to break it out again in spring 2010 when the preppy trend will still be going strong.

Expect a lifespan of about two years from this hat, though you shouldn’t necessarily count on keeping it past next spring if you want your look to remain current. Fortunately, this hat comes with a price tag everyone can accept. Even if you choose to only wear it for one season, or that pigeon happens to ruin it before next spring, you will definitely have got your money’s worth.

The economy still stinks, we’re still short on cash , and even mass market stores are suffering. Which is why every retail store is working their butt off to lure us and our wallets back into their stores with creative ad campaigns.

Kmart is now promoting their in-house clothing line with voyeuristic photos of “real people” in the vein of American Apparel ads, but far less racy. WWD is reporting that many of these men and women were scouted on the streets of New York, while others are bloggers and indie designers. They all styled themselves for a photoshoot at The Mark Hotel in NYC and posed without much direction from photographers. The results are pretty awesome, and may take the store in a whole new, stylish direction.

“We want to get out the message that we have amazing fashion,” Tara Poseley, senior vice president and president of Kmart apparel at Sears Holdings Corp told WWD . She says their target audience is “the kind of person who has fun with fashion but isn’t a slave to it. It’s the type of person who doesn’t care about labels, but rather, about expressing his or her own style.” With that in mind, Kmart’s new tagline, which we love, is “Money can’t buy style.”

Meanwhile, Zara, the Spanish retailer who excels at affordable takes on high fashion, has launched a new street style campaign as well called People! . They’re asking for submissions of anyone wearing at least 2 items from Zara’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Upload your photo to Zara and they will choose a batch of user looks each week to highlight on their website. If your photo is chosen, you’ll receive 300€ (or $425) for your contribution. They’re wrapping up this season’s street style campaign, but starting in September they’ll be uploading Fall collection photos, so get ready to strike a pose.

Do you like the idea of seeing "real people" (potentially even you) pose for big stores like Kmart and Zara instead of models? Check out some of our favorite shots form each store’s campaign in the slideshow.
