All-American men’s gear.

James Dean is an American icon embodying youth, angst and the 50’s.  This season, American and European designers embraced Dean’s style.  Get ready for slimmer fits and a whole lot more color.

Jean Jacket

The classic Levi’s Trucker Jacket was introduced to the public in 1962.  It has since been updated with a slimmer fit for a more tailored style.  This version has a spread collar, two button-flap chest pockets and two welt pockets for a rugged look and practicality.

Slim Fit Trucker Jacket | $84 | Available at Levi’s

Round-Neck Tee

V-neck tees are still on trend, but the round-neck tee is making its way back.  Embrace the “greaser” look with the round-neck plain white tee.  This tee from J. Crew is a comfortable cotton jersey specifically dyed for a vintage look.

Colored Chinos

This year designers added a twist to a classic style with the introduction of colored chinos.  These khakis by Gap are far more casual than the normal colored chino due to the denim wash and slim fit.  If you are worried that colored pants are too preppy choose a less obvious color and roll up the hem and show some ankle.

1969 denim-washed garment dye khakis | $59.95 | Available at Gap

Loafers

Loafers are back!  This includes all kinds of loafers, loafers with tassels, loafers with buckles and even penny loafers.  There were very few notable runway shows that didn’t debut a pair of fancy loafers.  These loafers by Cole Haan are a classic penny loafer made of antiqued leather with Nike Air® cushioning for comfort.  Wear these shoes with suits, chinos, shorts and with or without socks.
