Mix match issues.

Q:      I want to know if it’s acceptable to wear a watch with, say, a black strap while sporting brown leather shoes. David Tropven.

 

A:     According to a GQ article I read once, the answer is yes. But personally I really think it depends on what you are wearing. For instance, I think it would be wise if you are dressing for an event or special occassion, to match all the leather you wear. But if you are dressing casually, then yes I think you can get away with it.

         Another option you might want to consider is wearing a watch with metal bracelets.

     Love Ciara’s dress.

 DIDDY always dressed to impress…and I am.

 Alicia Keys completed her look with sexy srappy sandals.

 Mario’s Top is nice. Very nice.

Ray J’s look is crispy clean.

It took me a while to decide, but now I’m sure Adrienne Bailon’s strapless mini definately belongs on the list.

You’ll always look smart in a sharp suit. Jeremy Piven definately got it right…

…same goes for Tyrese Gibson.

Keke Palmer’s outfit is simple, yet chic.

Simple or Complicated?

Fact or Fiction

Q:     Is it acceptable to buy a fake watch? I hanker for a Panerai Luminor Marina, but I can’t afford a real one.    Stanley Edmund.

 

A:     Personally, I’d rather go watchless than own a fake classic. It wouldn’t matter if other people didn’t know. I would. You see, with a quality watch, you’re not just buying the stylish exterior but also the engineering masterpiece on the inside. I would equate buying a fake classic to buying a Lamborghini powered by the engine of a celing fan,(and just imagine how you’d look if people gave you props for the watch only to find out later that its been a fake all the while). Besides, part of the joy of owning a genuine work of art timepiece, is the length of time it took you to save  before you could acquire the watch. So be patient, aim for quality and start saving.
