…Fall Stuff We Love

Etro, Gucci, and Raf Simons

Keane Etro heads from Italy to the deserts of the American southwest. Our favorite looks include a gutsy tweed suit with a Navajo-inspired patterned turtleneck and a tan trench that looked classic but with true Etro swagger!—Jim Moore, GQ creative director

Frida Giannini rolls out one of her very best collections for Gucci, seemingly inspired by English dandies, American rockers, and Italian gentlemen. There are so many covetable things in this collection, especially the sherpa-lined wool jean jacket, the plaid suit, the shiny wool double-breasted suit, the over-scaled DB topcoat, and a deep green trim-fit handknit cable sweater.—Jim Moore, GQ creative director

And finally, this Raf Simons Fall 2012 collection is a bold nod to the old English charm, mixed with oversized colors and cables, makes for a perfect fall look.

Pair this trendy look with designer Aymara’s Circle Fields of Gold Cufflinks, made from real peruvian butterfly wings. Spread your support and love of our eco-system and butterfly sanctuaries by purchasing any one of these Aymara pieces and we’ll donate 10% of the sale to the Pilpintuwasi Butterfly Garden.

GQ says, “Who wore the pants this season? Nobody at Raf. They wore shorts. Yes, shorts in the Fall, trouser shorts that is. Didn’t matter if a double-breasted suit, a trim cerulean pea coat, or a nubby chartreuse sweater was up top. It was less British school boy and more 80s cool kid thanks to slouchier tailoring; shots of deep color; and eyes obstructed by bucket hats and slicked-forward hair straight from the New Wave era. Sure, the whole bare-ankle thing wasn’t practical, but it made one hell of an impression.

Alexander McQueen for President!: New York Fashion Week

Thursday, August 23rd, 2012

 

 

Words cannot describe McQueen’s new Fall 2012 Collection. Just watch…

Straight from the mouth of GQ magazine contributor Matthew Sebra: “Sarah Burton’s Fall 2012 collection for the house of McQueen celebrated one of the brand’s hallmarks, razor sharp tailoring, and to let guys experience the roped shouldered goods beyond a traditional lookbook the brand put together the above clip. It’s traditional Savile Row menswear meets signature McQueen plays on proportion and pattern and loaded with natty rigs a stylish (and loaded) man could use.”

If fashion could evoke one emotional reaction from deep within our tough manly exteriors, McQueen’s Fall 2012/Winter Sneak Peek would make us cry. Literally, sob, because of it’s sheer beauty, er, um…we meant because of its coolness and yeah, it just looks good.

 

Here are some of Cufflinksman’s Favorite Looks, coupled with our (much more affordable, but still as stylish) accessories:

We especially love the detailing on this sweater! It really primes the look for the pivotal transition between fall and winter. The tailored, clean blue suit brings out the “rustic” qualities in the sweater too.

Cufflinkman’s Number 1 Pick: Most Beautiful Woman 2012

Saturday, February 18th, 2012
AND NUMBER ONE ON OUR LIST??
Cufflinksman's Number One Most Beautiful Woman of 2012, Zooey-DeschanelCufflinksman’s Number One Most Beautiful Woman of 2012, Zooey-Deschanel
Let’s face it, Zooey-Deschanel has it all: incredible talent, quirkiness, a beautiful singing voice, and killer looks. That’s why she’s Cufflinksman #1 Most Beautiful Woman in 2012. And guess what? She’s recently separated from her husband, Ben Gibbard (who front lines for the band Death Cab Cutie), siting the usual, “irreconcilable differences.” But don’t feel bad, this talented lady has a long career ahead of her and many men just waiting to take Ben’s place.

Sure she’s not a Victoria’s Secret model or any model for that matter, but she’s a real woman–full of flaws, beauty, talent, and crystal blue eyes, and for the Cufflinks-MAN, that fits the bill. Plus she endorses cotton? Well WE also endorse cotton, so look at that! Like our luxorious cotton and silk blend tie collections from Daniel Dolce:
“Zooey Claire Deschanel (born January 17, 1980) is an American actress, musician, and singer-songwriter. In 1999, Deschanel made her film debut in Mumford, followed by her breakout role as young protagonist William Miller’s troubled older sister Anita in Cameron Crowe’s 2000 semi-autobiographical film Almost Famous. Deschanel soon became known for her deadpan or “Manic Pixie Dream Girl” supporting roles in films such as Elf (2003), The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (2005), Failure to Launch (2006), Bridge to Terabithia (2007), and The Happening (2008). She then began playing lead roles in films, including Yes Man (2008) and (500) Days of Summer (2009). Zooey Deschanel currently stars in the Fox series New Girl.”

Yes, Ms. Deschanel, we adore you. And to tribute you and your (half) heritage, we’d love to give you theseEndless Knot Cufflinks
“After turning down several supporting roles, Zooey Deschanel played her first lead role in All the Real Girls (2003). Her performance as Noel, a sexually curious 18-year-old virgin who has a life-changing romance with an aimless 22-year-old, received critical praise, and she received an Independent Spirit nomination for Best Actress. Later in 2003, Zooey Deschanel played a deadpan department store worker opposite Will Ferrell in the comedy Elf, which became a box office hit.”

Zooey, you’re the perfect puzzle piece our company’s image…Keep at it in New Girl!
