Signs of Spring

We have an important fashion announcement in this post. And yes, Double Tuesday is delayed until tomorrow (the holiday had us thinking today was Monday). But first a brief highlight of our onboard hottie. Ready for spring he wears a stunning subtle forest green (remember, GB is color blind) cashmere sweater worn to perfection over a canary yellow buttoned down Oxford shirt. And for accessories he has a deep navy Polo baseball cap and stunning 2 carat diamond studs in each ear! This gent was lit up like a forsythia bush in full bloom!

And now our fashion tip for Spring/Summer 2014. As the weather rapidly warms up many of you may have thoughts of acquiring cargo pants and cargo shorts. If so, please look at the pic below.

Notice how none of the men are over the age of 25? There's a reason for that. And though our HOTT Crew has very few fashion rules when we do make them they are critical to follow. And the rule of which we speak today is:

Men over 25 years of age must never wear cargo pants or cargo shorts. 

As a highly respected global fashion magazine pointed out the other day cargo pants are a "stage-of-life" piece of clothing for men immediately post-college. And the assumption is that you finished college at age 21 or 22. 

Mind you, cargo pants can look great, and this season's styles from Michael Bastian, Todd Snyder, Ovadia & Sons, Balmain and Michael Kors are cut much slimmer (if your waist size is over 32" they won't look good) give a youthful yet stylish appearance somewhere between jeans and chinos, and do have handy places for a very few flat assorted items. But do heed our advice above.

So remember, don't turn cargo pants into a cargo cult!
