The return of HyperColor.

While I was working the other night, a couple friends of mine were discussing former trends that we all took part in.  The acid wash jeans, the hightops and tube socks, tightrolling our jeans so tight that our circulation was compromised.

American Apparel has long been drawing influence from decades past, including the return of one of my favorite 80's trend, the Hypercolor tee shirt.  Of course, that is not what they are calling it, because that would be copyright infringement (AND they are still in trouble from the whole Woody Allen billboard incident) Nonetheless, here it is.......

I am still unsure why a shirt that shows when your body heat is rising is popular, but apparently the magic of temperature sensitive pigments is still drawing in the masses. 

Raising Hemlines.

Throughout the season, I have been seeing the hemlines on pants creep their way up the leg, now we are starting to see the same on men's jackets.

I might shudder if I ever see a 3/4 sleeve on a man, but the careful "juj-ing" of a man's sleeve up to his mid arm is starting to catch my attention.

Much like a button down shirt, the blazers and sport-coat sleeves can be easily pushed up the arm for a more carefree, casual look.

PS.  My apologies for not posting more frequently.  Work has consumed my days and nights recently.  I will make more of an effort, thanks fro checking back.
