Gr8 Stuff He Needs for Spring/Summer 2003

Spring fashion trends from His Stuff, 5314 N. Clark

Last year, Jeff Worth and Ralph Fasano opened His Stuff, a store for men in the Andersonville neighborhood. (read more about His Stuff) Since opening, the local clothier has found success and given back to our community through a number of fundraising events including "Shop and Eat Your Hearts Out" for the Hearts Foundation.

 

Jeff and Ralph share the fashion trends for Spring and Summer 2003. Review the hot trends and visit His Stuff at 5314 N. Clark. (Be sure to tell them Qchicago sent you!)

 

Beading and sequins ain't just for the mother of the bride...now the brother can wear them too.

These shirts hail from France.  Each of these are hand beaded, and truly a piece of art. All the colors are based on brown, beige and neutral hues.

Limited quantities on each style available.

The new Hugo Boss Red Line stone-wash Jean are the perfect complement for these beaded shirts. 

 

1. Military
• Cargo pockets and more cargo pockets and zippers are on everything.
• Colors: Olive and all shades of khaki with accents of oranges and blues.
• Hint: Don’t get this mixed up with the last trend of camouflage.

2. Surface Treatments
• Overprints, appliqués and stitching dominate both tops and bottoms.
• Distressing continues often with color overdyes and washes.

3. Weaves
• Open and distressed- think fishermen’s net.
• Patterns and textures woven directly into the fabric.

4. Linen
• Always.
• Nothing says casual elegance and comfort more than linen.
• Look for new linen blends, particularly with denim.

5. Seersucker
• Forget the suit, grab the shirt! Bright plaids have a fresh, but retro feel and this fabric travels better than anything.

6. Bags
• Your pants should bulge only where nature intended- in other words, take all that stuff out of your pockets and into a great bag.
• Functionality is the key whether it’s a gym bag, backpack or man purse.
• Think nylon, distressed leather and mesh.

7. Shoes
• Bye- bye chunky! The thinner the sole the better.
• Look for the standard flip-flop made elegant in Italian leathers with a “barely there” sole.

8. Leather
• Off your back and onto your wrists- as in bracelets!
• Cuffs in solid leather, buckled or braided and tied are the key accessory pieces.
