Gift Guide: Menswear Monday

Welcome to my first of 4 gift guides for 2014!  Today is all about that special guy in your life, whether it be a brother, boyfriend, husband, father, grandfather, cousin, GBF, guy friend (you get the drift...).  Last year I gifted my brother a watch for Christmas and in my opinion a watch is a pretty safe bet for a gift.  Since there are so many options out there (dressy, sporty, casual, etc.), it's easy to scoop one up for almost any guy on your list.  I'm really loving the new Victorinox Night Vision watches (if you caught my first post about the new brand here you can see why they're so great!) - and especially the green color option.  I don't know why but lately I've gravitated toward dark green as a new neutral.   I've also included a few other tech gadgets and clothing/accessory options.  I have to confess, I threw the camo tote in because one of my best guy friends has one and I'm completely obsessed with it (so much that I've thought about buying one for myself!).  My go-to retailers for men's gifts are Gap, Nordstrom (especially the under $100 section), Brookstone and Urban Outfitters (there's some amazing, quirky things on UO right now!).  Would love to hear what you're planning to scoop up and who you're shopping for!

The Right... Men's Timepiece

Today's post has a little menswear Monday theme with it with some fall fashion inspiration, including a revolutionary new timepiece by Victorinox: I.N.O.X. To celebrate the 130th anniversary of Victorinox, the Swiss Army knife company created a timepiece echoing the unique values of their famous Swiss Army knives: authentic, robust and reliable in all conditions. I.N.O.X. is designed and built to withstand unusual levels of stress, it has passed a battery of 130 ruthless strength tests with flying colors, and is further reinforced with a removable bumper protector composed of nylon and silicone.

I know how important it is for many guys to have a robust, lasting timepiece that is stylish enough for work but can last through sailing, hunting, running and basically keep up with active lifestyles. Check out the video on their website to learn about all of tests this watch went through and to snag one for yourself: http://www.victorinoxwatches.com. Oh and did I mention it comes in black, navy and khaki?
Now on to the best part - I'm giving you a little rundown of one of my favorite menswear looks for fall that would pair perfectly with this watch.  For a casual approach, take a quilted jacket, pair it with a no-iron shirt, some nicely fitting jeans and finish it off with some oxfords or chukkah boots.
