Contest Over
See the winner Here
After some heated late-night discussions in the TSB office, here are our Top 10 entries to the February Giveaway, in no particular order.
It was very difficult to narrow it down to ten finalists. We received hundreds of photo entries from stylish men (and a few women wearing menswear) from all over the world. We had to make some very difficult decisions, to say the least.
Now it’s time to VOTE for your favorite outfit using the poll at the bottom of this post. Keep in mind you can only vote one time.
Voting ends February 27th at 11:59pm. One winner will be announced and contacted on February 28th.
Best of luck to all you stylish gents, one of you will be receiving a very nice prize package!
1. Jace L.
Why he made the Top 10: Smart casual layering. Proportions and fit are on point. Beautiful topcoat, dressed down with ease.
2. Joshua M.
Why he made the Top 10: Well-fitting staples, with a thrifted fur collar on a camel peacoat :) Awesome vintage scarf, with just enough contrast in color and texture.
3. Elkin C.
Why he made the Top 10: Great fit and proportions. Smart layering of classic menswear staples, in a way that is current and on-trend.
4. Jimmie W.
Why he made the Top 10: Smooth. Classic. Awesome color palette, and corduroy jacket. Thoughtfully subtle color play between the pocket square, turtleneck, and socks.
5. Lucian E.
Why he made the Top 10: We’re suckers for the classics, when they look so elegant and modern. Great fit and beautiful timeless pieces across the board.
6. Jireh L.
Why he made the Top 10: Smart casual layering with good fit and proportions. Just enough contrast and color with the classic vintage Hudson’s Bay stripe.
7. Austin G.
Why he made the Top 10: Dressed-up but casual. Sophisticated but rugged. Confidently and seamlessly blending dressy elements (white shirt, black tie) with casual ones (broken-in jeans, rugged boots).
8. Joshua S.
Why he made the Top 10: Nailing the classics. Beautiful suit, great fit, perfect for the season. Nice touch with the navy tie and sky blue socks.
9. Philip A.
Why he made the Top 10: We’re big fans of black, and formalwear, especially when it’s worn with ease and fits this well. Nice finishing touches with the pocket square and matching gold watch and flower brooch.
10. Vlad M.
Why he made the Top 10: Awesome seasonal color palette, and fabric mixing. Attention to detail (tie dimple, sleeve lengths, faint orange striped socks). Great fit and proportions overall.
Thanks for reading – and special thanks to all those who entered the contest.
Yours in style,
TSBmen

Jace you will win!!!
i voted for Jace L.. jireh L looks awesome too. only if i can vote more than once
Shouts out my nigg-s Elkin and Vlad doe
Just ate some steel oats and voted for Jimmie W.
Voted for Elkin da gawd
Shout out to Vlad too :hat
Look at the NT baby paws rally together to support Elkin. Great sight to see the brethrens unite as one.
This post is to ensure the Shallow Minded….that Jace is Not being supported the Masses! He is a CLASS ACT and is a Stand up guy! BLOGS are rampant in this contest……and Jace is not Guilty of Blogging for Votes!!! H
I am an independent individual who believes in fairness!!!
…K
Agreed. Jace is a young man from our town with a stand up family and lots of small town support. He is a great guy.
Uhh did u not see his twitter…..
Oh You Mad KSteezy Stylin On Ya?
+3 Vote for Elkin.
-mamba out
@ Jace, do you have a little brother named Franalations? Philips fit is dope, 6 and 7 too. # 8 was clearly a stand-in for Inception. Spoils go to the victor- Steezy gonna Steez
Elkin C’s fit is very dazzling, clean, and trendy. Very nice layering.
That Jace L, where do I know him from? GQ. Very unfair in my opinion.
you call wearing two hoods nice layering?? Oh and you must have a fantastic eye to spot a photo editor from GQ… because they are all over the mags you know. Unfair?? he got into an open contest by dressing well, its not like he brought a community of followers with him to troll the comments section
Not impressed by the Elkuy outfit. Jace is an all-American guy
NT knows how you roll though- only down with the whitebread
#1 lookin like “Sup, my clothes too small”
freetheWitzness
#teamElkin #NTFAMB NT we got this for steezy!
Sneaker Forums are usually not where I turn to for “Style.”
Jussssssayin
http://niketalk.com/t/527062/lets-help-a-fellow-nter-out-vol-we-famb-leigh/60
style is subjective, just because you are into sneakers it does not mean you cant be stylish….btw sneakers have been in “style” since before alot of us were even born.
If you knew anything about NT you would know that General doesn’t care about sneakers.
I think you guys missed the point. Sneakers will always be in style, but sneaker forums are not the place to get style advice, just shoe advice… not even that, just sneaker advice. And sneaker heads typically lean toward limited editions and hard to gets, not always, but usually thats the case.
Good job by all but to be honest although Elkin and Jace took good photographs I would not take notice to either if I would pass them in the street. Thats why I voted for Jimmy with Lucian a close #2 with Josh S rounding out my top 3 picks.
Thank you to TSB for the opportunity to be in this contest, it is an honor to be chosen in the top ten with such a great group of contestants. All of the guys’ looks are very sharp; congratulations to whomever is voted the winner. Regardless of the outcome I’m extremely grateful to have made it this far and am looking forward to next month’s contest. Thanks again! (If Jace really works for GQ, thats very cool.)
Your look was very cool also, congrats.
voted for da homie Jace!
Uvo take me back to yesterday when Elkin was winning
Stop wearing jean shorts. Just trust me
Elkin big KSteezy Gets “DA” vote!!! #NTFamb #NTYambs #teamNT
Felicitari,Lucian,meriti sa cistigi,ai stil!!!!
Elkin C, gets my vote. The setting, the background, the atmosphere all play a crucial part. And then the clothes. I think he should win, especially based on the quality of the photo. The clothes really are secondary to me.
Quality of the photo? It’s HDR for sure, or doctored up in photoshop w/ very high contrast. Not saying its not a good pic, it’s a well taken photo, just very distorted color. And his clothes are secondary??? that’s the point of the contest!!
I am surprised Joshua S hasn’t gotten a little more love for the fit of that suit and the badass lapels. He got my vote for sure. Who would have thought that the man wearing the suit would be the one who was different from the pack, it seems like Denim Jacket layering but be getting a little too trendy.
I’d love to vote, but the poll is not visible for me. Do you have any solutions for this problem?
Momma gotta have fun too, so i voted for Jace
Joshua M. has my vote!!!
Jireh all the way! _(-.-)\
I would just like to clarify that the rude and immature comments that people are posting do NOT reflect Nike Talk as a whole. This is a few individuals who hold E-grudges against Elkin or our site moderator for some reason. Secondly, Elkin did not ask ANYONE to make a thread asking people to vote, he was actually surprised by it. While the user who made the thread encouraged people to vote for Elkin, there have been many who have voted for other contestants, including Jace.
With that said I hope nobody holds a grudge against our community because of a few members that are immature.
-UNKNWN
Amazing what lengths you guys will go to talk about Powerballin….voted for that boy Vlad by the way!
Jace L i am lovin that coat man…. The whole outfit is on point
Voted for Vlad!
#6 is cute
Great outfits guys. Probably will go with Elkin over Jace. The fit of Philip’s tux is on definitely on point though.
Ok so I listed my email to this post so that you guys over at TSB know is me.
First off id like to really thank you guys for choosing me amongst these other gents to compete on this giveaway, Im really humbled and flattered by the gesture.
Now id like to sincerely apologize to Townsend and the rest of the guys over at TSB for all the buffoonery thats going on in here, as you guys have figured it out by now Im not on twitter or Facebook much, but I am part of an incredible forum, Niketalk and this is the route i chose to get some support, no different from anyone else who’s using twitter and Facebook, unfortunately with the bad comes the good and there are a few or maybe just one individual who feels the necessity to impersonate site admins and even my wife to evoke some sort of emotion or to bring some negativity towards me, what this individual does (METHODICALMANAGEMENT) is beyond my control, but Im sorry for it regardless and hope that the readers and the TSB family can simply ignore this fool as he does not represent the majority of our site, we are a family over there with a very positive flow, but you know there is always one black sheep in the herd.
with that said, best of luck to everyone involved and thank you TSB for setting up such a wonderful giveaway, your blog has really inspired many myself included.
Thanks for the response Elkin! We’re just trying to keep it positive over here… Good luck and thanks for reading!
As Townsend said, thanks for your response. A few years back I was part of the NT community and am familiar with all the comedy/inside jokes so I get it. Anyways, good luck in the competition man.
Let’s go Team Jireh!!
GO JACE!!!!!!! great style :)
With all of the comments of en entire community voting for Elkin and Jace’s fan club voting for him, I am surprised at how close Jireh is to both of them.
Disclaimer: i don’t know any of them and didn’t vote.
MY DB BROTHER WILL WIN THIS THING OUT, #TEAMELKIN…
Finna give my man Elkin the Win without any contest. I see you got my Solar yeezys, so im finna throw the platinum’s your way Elk.
Jace…..Sorry bruh bruh, but I do not approve. And stop making your co-workers over at GQ vote for you.You know dang well Elkin is outdressing you. Lucky i aint make Jay drop you from the Zine(magazine).
This post is wildly ignorant, your opinion is most definitely yours..
Elkin but by a slight margin. Phillip is very close..
Elkin getting major Yambs in that fit, guaranteed
Rise above the talk! Go Jace!!!!!
Steezy (Elkin) didn’t ask us to make a thread to get him votes. I made the thread because over at NT, we stick together… with the exception of the guy impersnating Meth. It was just a way for us to help a fellow member of our beloved forum. To those of you whose jimmes have been russled, we do not apologize. Simply put, that is how we do things. We build character and tough skin over at NT (bleedat).
To those crying foul at Elkin’s use of a message board, pipe down. The guy Jace used his own outlets to help secure the victory. The disproportion in the numbers are clearly evidence of that. Had he been in the top spot and Steezy been behind by a large margin, you would have nothing to say. Stop being cry babies. Your outrage is what fuels us over at NT. If you want us to go away, I demand a million unmarked Ecuadorian bills delivered to my house in approximately 17 minutes. Either that, or you can sit back, relax, and watch NT ensure Steezy’s victory. Because we won’t stop [Diddy]neh eh, neh eh[/Diddy]
Shout out to the Transylvanian persuasion new to the NT nation, Vlad.
i know a thing or two about ip addresses
FYI, This MethodicalManagment guy is obviously what we call an internet “troll”. The MethodicalManagement name comes from our #NT leader and moderator, and this guy here is just an imposter. Elkin did not make any thread asking for votes, thats just not his steez. We vote for him because he is a big part of our community, one of our most regular posters and victim of many jokes throughout the years. He keeps our fashion thread aka “Dressing better thread” running, and we appreciate that… and the periodic pictures of his wife.
Go Elkin !
#NT
Grove Street, GO JACE!!
I want to rustle Jimmie!!!
dan, you guys should really do away with the comment section on these contests. it is beginning to take away from the point IMO.
idk, i had the same opinion until i spend the last 20 min reading and trying to make out what the dilly with jace and elkin.
Y ain’t I on here?
Don’t y’all know ye got his style form me?
Y’all need to take notes
You can’t vote twice…your vote is counted once.
It’s VERY difficult to vote twice on this system. They’re probably lying.
hmm .. let’s see. Home network, work / school network, cell phone. There is no ID validation so as long as you are coming from a different connection your vote will be counted.
Not counting neighbor’s / friends networks.
Marcus.Is.Correct.
Jace!
Now maybe Jace will pay attention to me.
Thanks!
You got his attention…now what!
I’m very thankful to have made top ten and even been voted to top three. Undoubtedly everyone put together a great outfit, looks like now it’s a war of who has more supporters from the niketalk forums, and who wears the jean jacket better. And to everyone making fun of how Vlad looks, that is completely rude and out of line, this is not a modeling competition, it’s about menswear, and I think his outfit is excellently put together.
Thanks for the great response Jireh!
You da man, Jireh. Also, I want that sweater. Also, grats on top 10!
Thanks for the response!
Agreed.
Thanks for the support. I’m not mad at all, i’m actually laughing, cause the trolling is pretty good actually.
Just vote for your favorite…they are all great!!! They made the “Top 10″! Winners!
Vlad has the queen of England burried back there and he is wearing her coat
Go Ekins!!
very clean outfits
as for elkin i like ya and i wants ya but ima have to go with vlad he looks so masculine
Jace L, great style, what a topcoat, you have my vote.
All well done. Jimmies gets the slight edge. The look screamed early 90′s, and you NEVER see that.
lets go jace!
We get it… You’re mad at life.
You can go back to being a Loser now.
In before me.
I voted for Jace because Ksteezy got me banned :smh
#NT
Elkin looks amazing, too bad j.crew doesn’t accept oversized checks from sprite.
guys please tell methodman that im sorry!!
i got better and i now take medication for my split personality disorder.
also jace is doing the same thing, elkin did nothing wrong,an editor for GQ against some guy with awesome Steez i see a little bias there.
next time they should make it so that anyone who works for a fashion magazine cant enter, it’s only fair.
Yo, anyone can enter. My ma can enter. Nick Wooster can enter. The only people who can’t enter are Dan, Towni, Wes, John, and I. If we tried to be “fair” we would have to background check everyone who submits a photo and, ain’t nobody got time for that.
Word to Sweet Bown lol
My boy is fresh to death….like me
In before me.
I voted for Jace because Ksteezy got me banned :smh
#NT All Day!!!!!!!
Thanks MM! Just trying to keep it going.
bump
#NT
bump
Team Jace L… vote the honest way!
Thank you!
Honest way?? The guy is advertising on his blog and works for GQ.
FOH!
and he is getting votes the honest way!
same thing happend last month.. a bunch of people who have their own fashion blogs made the top 10. They are also likely to put together the best outfits and nail the fit. Just means tough competition for the rest of us. Advertising it on the blogs is kinda weak though
Elkin busted! Vote Jace L.
I was wondering what happened to Johnny Gill.
Jace get votes the honest way! We can do this! Team Jace L.!
In the words of Mayor… You wild corny, b.
Jace L. for sure
@guys saying i’m a serial killer
A lot of people told me I look like Dexter so who knows…
wasnt philip in pretty ricky?
Thanks NT.
damn i voted for elkin too soon smh i aint know black dudes was in the contest. Forgive me my black brothers ill vote for asap rocky next month
Jace L. has a great topcoat on…can we inquire as to the brand?
Stay fresh,
F2D
Elkin gets my vote.
He could take pictures of my meat curtains anytime he wants..
wow what a great competition. voted for jace ;)
but u all deserve to win
and btw elkin tenga la mas grand verga de todo
Thank you!
Vlad’s picture just screams
“Yeah… There are dead bodies back there… Wanna see?”
His time is now
#teamElkin
#teamNT
#purecomedy
Voted for Vlad.
Looking like Count WhiteChocula. I see you.
Not impressed. I prefer basketball players
Never trust a man with orange socks
Not trying to come off as negative, but some observations; Elkin is wearing two different hoods and a hat. Not only this, but his fit seems to be composed entirely of different of the moment trends: camo cargos, layered denim jacket, duffle coat, and even the oddly ubiquitous “raspberry” beanie. Don’t get me wrong, the layering is excellent and I like the color scheme, but the fact that he is a very close second (and, frankly, merited selection at all) baffles me.
That said, Lucian has my vote. Classic shit. Although he shoulda kept the shades on.
Bro do you even lift?
ಠ_ಠ
Bro. Like an elevator, bro. But if my quads get any bigger I’ll f-ck up the perfect fades on my LVCs, so I typically don’t pick up anything heavier than a potted plant. Like, say a ficus.
Post a pic of your fit bro?
Everyone in there looks like they are joining the army, or some sort of organization which requires you to wear a UNIFORM.
Elkin’s fit is the best IMO. Awesome layering, Excellent color schemes, with a bold look with the camo’s.
True, refreshing style. Rather than copying what you see off of your GQ Mag.
*Correction
Everyone in there EXCEPT Elkin.
Looks like we’ve got us a comedian over here fellas.
Look out. Funny guy on the loose. :{
I can’t tell if you’re serious or not cuz, yknow, internet. I’m tempted to say you are, because your username is gq fanboy, and if you paged through any issue of gq for the last like few years youd see a sh-tload of skinny camo cargos, jean jackets, and duffle coats.
I was gonna say that if Elkin wins good on him, democracy at work, etc. But since apparently he literally works for GQ (which would explain the above), has his own blog, and recruited a whole forum to try to win a bunch sweet free swag for himself instead of dudes who actually kept it aboveboard, I can’t do it. That sh-t isn’t at all cool. Anyway. Soapboxing over. Sorry if you were just playing around. If not I dunno. try to be cooler on the internet? I guess?
Hold up scratch (part of) that last bit. I guess this Jace homie is part of the GQ staff and blogged up, not elkin. Sorry for casting aspersions without researching properly. I’m not any more a fan of Elkins fit or tactics but not crazy about someone using their blog to leverage votes either. 2012 election all over again, jeez.
Elkin good luck. Me and Angie wish you the best.
Vlad looks looks a like a serial killer and Jimmie looking like a sophisticated trinidad james. That’s all I’m gonna say.
Da vote goes to NT’s own ksteezy.#NT
Phil is sharp!
see me with the hands
Jimmie and Philip are the definition of cornball brothers.
Word to RGIII.
Why bc they can outdress you?
I find it hard to fap to Jace.
Elkin’s style and pose def. has my vote.
:smokin
Jace,
We coming for them shoulders b…
though.
Let the shoulder clapping commence.
it’s obvious Elkin has the most style out of the list.
Elkin (lol) gets da vote from me, although Jace’s girl gets da D from me b.
My girl is hot, no doubt.
ninjahood?! remember u back in my NT days…. about to get back on there… still pure comedy hah
Ill go with #4 over #5 in a close call its all subjective all enties were good.
Steezy da gawd. :hat
Phillip’s fit is the cleanest. But yeen parta the teamb, famb.
Jace, we coming for you, b.
NT, all we ask is trust.
Phil FTW.
Number five!!!
Lucian Enasoni is the best!!
Elk gawd
I can see why everyone is torn, to just pick one winner ! Everyone looks great and very inspiring. Cant there be the top 3 winners, like the olympics ?
Elkin is obviously the winner here. The dude’s just got that rugged sprezz that’s unbeatable.
Being in the top ten is enough of an experience already! Thanks TSB Men! You’re work continues to inspire.
JIREH MY BOY!
note to mods: I did not post the above
Ha! It is good to see Jireh climb from lower mid-table to a solid 3rd place showing.
get ya votez up fambz
AUSTIN all the way. wish i could vote more times for him. in love wit his jacket. major swag
I didn’t hesitate to put my vote in for Vlad. The colors and way he put that outfit together. Amazing! Much congratulations (in advance) to the winner though.
Thanks for all the votes guys.
Elkin has my vote,his ensemble is something i could wear for a night out on the town but also rugged enough that i could wear to work,im a lumberjack.
Aren’t you doing the same, supporting your friend in every post?
got to go with jireh
I just realized that winning these monthly giveaways is as hard as winning the presidential election. You gotta be radical enough to get picked by the TSB team, but then you gotta be conservative enough to be voted by the TSB readership
Nailed it.
This is hilarious… Because it’s true. Smart.
Da Elkin gawd lookin like he gotta drop a duece. Gets my vote NTswag
Philip A has my vote!!! Style and grace :)
I’m seriously torn between Jace and Jireh. Austin would be on that list, too, if he’d worn black shoes.
I’m so humbled to be part of the top 10 here. Thank you very much.
To answer a few comments.
@AK I know Nagy L he’s also Romanian and i know his coat too. His has a chest pocket as seen here: http://www.stilmasculin.ro/Haina-portocalie-si-cravata-tricotata . Mine hasn’t
@Marcus Forlan
I wore the same outfit with grey pants and it tones it down a little. I put on these pants for this outfit because i think the color matches very nicely the one of the topcoat and also the palette seen in the nature at the moment.
Thank you again.
Yea, I agree. Your choice of pants is great with this outfit and I think it works better than a grey would. Mirroring the fall colors is a great look.
Note that I was nitpicking cuz the competition is so stiff! There is v. little separating all of these 10 looks imho.
Thank you, sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar. That’s a fine jacket. I might have to pick me up one. Good luck with the contest and congrats on top 10!
That boi Vlad M has the looks, the body and the apparel to make it work.
He’s got my precious vote.
Jace is on point from H to T! Loved the entire look. Fashionable without being pushy.
Elkin the gawd got my vote, tough comp this month
we don’t dress like this in da heightz
Elkin the gawd got my vote, stiff comp this mouth
#6 definetly, the colors are what persuaded me.
All these fits are hella dope! Dont fool yourself thinking anyone of these dudes are slacking cause they all nailed there respective looks.
Elkin got this. Dude got swagger for days.
Honorable mentions?
Later this week on TSB Daily.
An aside: is Vlad M. rockin’ the same coat that Nagy L. did in last month’s runners-up list? I swear they are almost identical. I certainly can’t tell the difference.
Elkin, with Philip as a close second. Looks like he rolled out of bed and threw that on with ease.
I voted for Jimmie w., I love his color scheme and the loafers…
My dude Elkin for sure, I’ve seen other fits of his and definitely he has style.
Man, really tough choice between Jace L and Elkin C. Could be that I’m on a denim jacket layering kick or it could be that they seriously rock it.
Jimmie W.
Loving the layered look on Austin numba 7
Toss up between Jace, Jimmie and Joshua S. Can’t decide right now.
Went with Jace in the end. Should just go with my first choice from the outset.
My man Austin is not gettin enough love here. The tie bar is ballin and that cardi is tight. He’s got my vote.
I like the tie-bar too – it’s one of those cases where it works even though it shouldn’t. It needed to be an one-incher though.
The cream cardigan is what makes it all work though.
that tie bar missed big time
I’m definitely voting for Austin G. #7. His style is someting I’d totally love to wear. If I had the money, I’d totally buy that jacket. His glasses are so snazzy also. Great outfit.
Tough competition. Few faves though – Jace L looking sharp – nice threads, although the denim jacket thing seems to be everywhere. Philip is smooth as hell. I like those gold touches, though this is the kind of outfit that can only be pulled off by the lucky few. Top for me, however, is that fella Elkin. Its an ace photo, true, but everything fits perfectly and I dig those camouflage bottoms with the hat and that duffle. Looks like an army & navy started doing bespoke.
Good show!
Really unique pieces on Jireh!
VOTE FOR JOSHUA M.
number 7!! Austin!
Ace 4 Jace.
Looks like a lot of vintage pieces and personal style this month. Throughly enjoying these contests so far, submitting and seeing all the other readers out there!
I spy w/ my little eye.. some 4inch lapels that made me cry.
#justteaseing
Agreed with Joe here, Jireh isn’t getting enough love for a really simple, well executed outfit – it’s not ‘badass’, but it’s the understatedness of it that really makes it work.
Honourable mention to Philip A. – nice formal pumps.
this is awesome, thank you TSB…good luck to the rest of the fellas im undecided between Austin and Jace.
#tap-tap-pull :NThat
Thank you, if you are the Elkin in the contest then I love everything about that picture.
And if you are the ELKIN in that pic – you should be voting for yourself! Not the competition. lol.
My vote goes to Elkin C
Buncha cool dudes.
#3 Elkin, because he looks like he maybe wouldn’t get beat up by those construction workers for wearing a toggle coat and a raspberry cap.
…I definitely WOULD though.
NUMBER 4, LIKE THOSE SHOES AND THAT COAT.
Jace L. looks like the clear winner to me, great fit w/ the denim and that top coat is baller!
My vote is with Jirah because he mixes patterns, textures, and separates together to make a seamless and well proportioned outfit.
I beginning to wonder if not having a professional grade camera (or friends with one)will prevent me from standing a chance to win this one day.
I was thinking the same thing.
Photo quality certainly helps the outfit translate, and stand out from the hundreds of entries.
That said, composition is more important than quality. Only 3/10 of the photos here I would consider “professional grade”, but each one thoughtfully and cleanly delivers the outfit.
Cheers.
Kevin, If you’re in decent light, you can get a very good quality photo with a cellphone camera these days – some of the above don’t look like they’re taken with anything better than an iPhone or Samsung camera.
You only really “need” a professional grade camera in dim / low light conditions.
During a bright day outdoors, a good compact will deliver some great shots.
Good luck!
I wish this was 10 pictures of Elkin, then it would be a hard choice.
Maybe he could turn down the contrast in one of those other 9 so we could see the undistorted colors of his outfit..
All these guys are fly in their own way! Love it
Elkin. Because I love him.
I voted for Vlad because that is the type of color palette I would wear. He pulls it off well and is about the same body type as me. It inspires me and I know I too can pull it off.
Great color palette, yes.
But I think it is a tad overdone. If he went neutral with one other element (e.g. the topcoat) then I think the outfit would have been better.
I voted for Austin! The tie bar may be a bit too high, but I like the colors!
tie bar too high and under a cardigan
Well, it isn’t literally under the cardigan, but I see your point! I haven’t seen that to be honest! Still, I like the overall look!
That tie bar is sweet! Love those boots!!
Tie bars fine, it’s just in the wrong spot and under a sweater which is a bit redundant. But it’s all about personal style, so rock it how you like it!
I’ve been thinking about it and while it’s not really useful under a cardigan (since the cardigan does the same job), it can’t be seen if it’s positioned correctly and it provides a nice little detail if one had to remove his “outer” layers!
JOSH S.! Without a doubt!
voted for Phillip, I like the black in black theme
And the winner is… Jace!
Phillip! Smooth
Jace L….that smile! You got my vote!
and his Mommy loves him.
She sure does…..
after all…I am his #1 fan and his biggest supporter…I got him all these votes!!!
LOL.
My vote goes to Jace L., well done sir.
My vote is for the duck boots and army jacket.
