Spring 2007 trends available at ROK & LOLA for MEN.....

MEN’S

NAVY BLAZER
-a nicely cut, spring weight navy blazer is definitely our first among equals this spring
-dresses up casual looks, even shorts; keeps dressy events from being too stuffy
-the deeper the navy tones the more versatile the blazer

WHITE JEANS
-they’re jeans so they’re cool, but they’re white so they’re more polished than your average denim
-try them with a great short sleeve shirt, stands out in a good way
-they take a navy blazer into the sporty zone, champ

SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT
-the tailored shirt got a reprieve from cuffs, just as right, just cooler than before
-you are allowed to pop up the collar but only when you’re alone on the beach with the dogs
-plaids, patterns all in easy-on-the-eye colors

RUGBY SHIRT
-speaking of sporty, in terms of shirts it doesn’t get any more winning than this
-we like the stripes in mixed colors best
-the white collar hooks up with the white jean without looking premeditated

SPORTY SUNGLASSES
-aerodynamics are the key, sleek, hints of motocross styling
-aviators are always right, this spring squared up a bit
-think skiers, skydivers, cyclists, Steve McQueen

STREET SNEAKERS
-when we say street, we’re thinking more urbane than urban
-ergonomics meet foot art, look for organic shapes and colors
-try them with your new seersucker suit for a sporting footnote

CLASSIC SWIMSUIT
-a classic suit is just the right length trunk in a easy-going tropical print
-square cuts and even swimmer suits can be classic, as long as they’re graphic and dark
-check out the new hybrid suits, part swimsuit, part walking shorts

DRESSED UP SHORTS
-put a blazer over shorts and you’ve taken the whole afternoon to the next level
-call it Global Warming, but shorts are more acceptable more places than ever, as long as you’ve dressed them up a bit
-leave the printed t-shirt at home, drop on the tailored short sleeve shirt instead

SEERSUCKER
-seersucker is cool this spring, literally and figuratively
-makes a great blazer for dressing up or down
-in shorts or pants it’s the subtlest way to have a sporting stripe
