Revamp your man with All Saints

Ladies, you love your man. You love his personality, the way he makes you laugh with a single look, and how he holds you at night.  You may however, not love the way he dresses.  My own Mr. Artist is such a lovable dude, but I think if he could make like Hugh Hefner and get away with wearing a bathrobe 24/7 he would.  So here is my fantasy post with how I would remake his style, care of the stylish male fashions at All Saints:



Starting from the top, we have this rugged denim shirt.  Denim shirts are back for Spring and a dark denim wash keeps things modern whereas a lighter chambray evokes a more rustic feel.  Button-ups are totally versatile and matches everything.  Just don't pair with matching denim jeans unless you truly feel your man can carry off the Canadian tuxedo.



Next up is this gray cardigan.  I am sooo in love with cardigans on guys.  Maybe I have a secret professor fantasy.  Seriously though, cardigans are just as comfortable as hoodies, but majorly more stylish.  Made of lightweight natural yarn, this cardigan features interesting patches of textured knit and the dark brown engraved buttons are a nice contrast to the light heather color.  The only thing missing are some sweet ass elbow patches. *drool*



Once it warms up, Mr. Artist will need some cool outerwear.  All Saints has tons of great jackets for men like the two above.  The Ernst one on the left is actually a cardigan, but would totally pass as a jacket with a thick sweater and check out how cool those toggle buttons are!

On the right, is a blazer option, which is a classic choice that never goes out of style.  The Evoke jacket takes blazers to another level with its deconstructed cut and unique custom fading
.


For Vancouver's wet climate, I think Mr. Artist would appreciate something with a hood better.  The Gravel jacket is the perfect solution; it has a classic pea-coat style and is made of durable Italian cotton. He wouldn't have to worry about keeping this jacket clean either - it's machine washable in the delicate cycle!



A guy's gotta have his sneakers and for more casual days, it's ok to wear sneakers, but you can always step it up a notch by opting for street sneakers like these coolly sophisticated hi-tops.  Simple and comfortable, the light grey tones will match anything in any guy's closet.


Finally, a stylish leather jacket is always worth splurging on, so I checked out some of the more expensive items.  I love how this leather jacket has this sort of dark coolness to it.  It has tons of useful pockets and a sheepskin collar adds that extra touch of rugged luxury.

So that's how I would revamp my man! Not to say that I am embarrassed at all by him, in fact I would never push my ideas on him as he should wear what he wants to, but hey this is a fantasy post right?  If you have any ideas how you'd like to revamp yours, I'd love to know, so tell me in the comments!

LOL, hopefully that bathrobe is better than old t-shirts with holes in them--which I'm not saying I have and I'm not saying I don't, just thinking the robe is probably better.

Actually, I DO have a few old shirts like that. They come in handy when I have a dirty job to do--then I can just throw them out.

I don't look good in sweaters, but I really like the shirt and the jackets.
