Recession is here you have a bit of coin to burn why not head to Boca, FL and retire early. Much like the die a young good looking corpse attitude. Be casual enjoy great restaurants, palm trees, excellent customer service, clay courts, and plenty of tom collins. The good life.

PULL OFF THE LOOK:

1. Slightly muted Nantucket Red Pants

2. "Rusty Gate" casual Hugh Simms Tie www.hughsimms.com

3.  Aviators, no socks, and drop some bucks on veneers

4.  Don't forget the pastel plaid sport coat and mix it up with a vertical striped shirt.

5.  Eye candy w/ smarts of course

Have fun with this look even if you don't possess the fashion sense. This look goes easy on fashion blunders. So if you don't have a big fashion sense go wild this is like a free hall pass, girl's get one for Halloween to look sluty we get it for Boca Snowbird. Be aware of the Cougars. Arrrarr. Say hi to my mommom for me too. Cheers!!

Where to Buy:  These were given by Kyle's Grandfather an overlooked fashion stop.

Rock the Burly Beard

Shortly after I grew in my Brandon Walsh sideburns sophomore year in Prep school I got into the elusive beard not the stubble or shadow but pure burly beard. Two class mates and I would even sketch cartoons of us rocking beards trying to top one another, with the All Time winner being Serge who drew himself running me over heading to the forest shirtless, bearded, and to chop down trees.

Dear mom will hate it, most girlfriends, mine doesn’t “exception” cool chic, and with relaxed clothes you can look Hobo. One mother even pulled her child away from sitting beside me in an airport, although I did smell like stale beer from the night before.  So why do it? Why take it that far?

Simple, it’s for you, a statement, a sign of third world travel, toughness, higher level intelligence, rocker, and cred on the rugby field. I do it to get those feelings yet on an occasion I do it during darker times so when I look in the mirror I look just how I feel, a sense of peace in them both. Who rocks them: Professors, Salty Dogs, Texas Blues Players, Woodsmen, Drifters, Soul Surfers, and even Prince William took it for a ride, the exact type of person I design for.

 My Fashion Tips: First grow it in the summer and leave the "I'm growing it out for the cold winter" to the weekend warriors. You can rock it with a white tee, shirtless & jeans, and of course the flannel. 

However the true style tip is to counter it, just as extreme as it is head the other direction with options: fitted three suit, tie, fedora, bowtie, a preppy hair style, and polished shoes. To me this is the all time sex appeal for men of course.

Any of you headed this direction I would love to get a pic and if you’re in one of my ties I’ll give you a 25% Off Code. hugh@hughsimms.com
