The Extra Spiffy T-Shirt Makeover

Jerry Spiffy T shirts

Jerry from Extra Spiffy

Normally, we blog about style tips and image makeovers. This time around, we’re going a bit more casual. T-shirts have slowly crept their way into becoming a fashion staple for city folk and every designer has a bold graphic t-shirt in their line. As summer approaches, we couldn’t ignore the t-shirts anymore. Besides, a good graphic tee works well to add color  to any casual look.

We were lucky enough to convince super graphic designer Jerry Hayes from the label Extra Spiffy to select some of his favorite graphic shirts right now. Take a  look at his picks and let us know how you wear your tees:

“Even though I’m pretty diverse and picking favorites is tough for me, I managed to find four picks. One from a new company I found that had a nice design, two from companies I’m a fan of, and last but not least, an in-home favorite of mine.”

 

1) So this new company called DTA (Don’t Trust Anyone) had a great design, “Like A Fish Tee” based on a cool phrase, “Drown your sorrows.” This design could have gone wrong, but they used just the right amount of detail. Also, the typography was done well. I favor the white tee, it’s clean.

2) Next we have the “Emblem Tee,” by HUF. The small chest print is subtle and the back design reads, “WORLDWIDE DIRTBAG CREW” and reminds me of 7’ dudes named Tiny. I’m a fan of HUF’s work, plus they use a capital H on their hats and apparel, which I’m proud to wear because my last name starts with the same letter.

3) So, ONLY NY is similar to Supreme (another apparel company) in my opinion, which may be why I like them. This brand is extremely innovative and is a good reference of what I’d like to do with my company in the future. The tee I picked from them is the “Service Tee,” because it’s so simple but has such strong elements. The circle and rectangle shape contrast well along with the blue and red color topped off with their fresh logo in white. Also, the back displays a past year, which gives me a nostalgic feeling.

4) As far as my pick from my catalog, I’m torn. It’s between the “Geronimo Jump Tee” and the “BKLYN 718 Tee,” but I’m going with the “BKLYN 718 Tee” because that’s my backyard. The design came about using a familiar font that will probably be displayed heavily in our catalog. Once I was happy with the kerning, I added the knock out on the 718 for a retro look. I like it a lot and it’s getting really good feedback so far. We also just dropped it in a Tank top as well so check ‘em out.

Fashion We Like NOW: Floral Denim

Posted on by

Floral Denim Style Fashion

Celebrity fashion stylists all over New York City have one thing on their minds: floral prints! They are totally unavoidable this season, in the best possible way. Jeans, shorts and capris have all been seen on celebrities and fashionable New Yorkers. We like the warm weather feminine feel of floral-printed denim and totally recommend this summer fashion trend.

Here’s how to wear floral denim:

Match your Shape to your Florals

If you’ve got a small frame and want to add some curves, pick a floral that is big and bright. If you’re born with some dangerous curves, then try a smaller flower print.

Stick to What you Know

Since floral denim will be cropping up all over, you’ll see it in a variety of styles. Pick a denim style that you normally go for. If you’re not a shorts girl, don’t buy floral denim cut-offs, they’ll most certainly just sit in your closet until whenever this style comes back around. Do you wear skinny leg jeans? Great, go for a skinny leg floral.

What About the Top?

Easy, pick a solid colored simple t-shirt or blouse. Try to find one that brings out the color of the print. The pants are eye-catching, the shirt should be a compliment.

Jewels & More

As for accessories, long strand necklaces and sunnies are a great accent for this summery ensemble. We like cropped jeans with flats for a day look and a neutral-toned heel for night.

Fashion & Comfort….Mixing the two

Lately on my appointments with our fashion stylist Amanda, I have noticed most of our clients being concerned with comfort within a good fashionable walking shoe. If your a true New Yorker, you nkow nobody wears sneakers anymore unless they’re running or excercising. Many clients laugh and wonder of what shoe they should purchase to both feel comfortable while walking and looking trendy and fashionable.
There are three types of shoes for this coming spring/summer season that are very trendy, fashion forward, and comfortable all at the same time; the wedge, the clog, and the flat.

 The wedge shoe is an extremely fashionable shoe that is the most comfortable heel.  It also can serve as a comfortable walking shoe depending on your threshold level of pain.  A wedge is not painful, but it is the alternative to a heel.  A comfortable wedge that serves great as a walking shoe as well is the Stuart Weitzman classic wedge that is made every spring/summer season.  Yes it’s a bit expensive, but it is well worth the price as it would be a shoe you would live in throughout the entire season.

 The clog is a shoe that was very popular during the 60′s/70′s era.  It has now comeback in full force on the spring/summer runway trends. The clog is another fashionable and comfortable alternative to the average heel.  It’s not as comfortable as a wedge, but it can serve as a walking shoe again depending on your threshold level for pain.  Clogs come in all different sizes and heel heights so the lower the heel the more comfortable, and the higher the heel the less comfortable.

 The flat is a classic shoe known to women everywhere.  Flats are extremely fashionable and serve as perfect casual walking shoes, and even sometimes can serve as a cute evening shoe.  This is the most comfortable out of all the three.  During summer months you can also wear another flat called a gladiator sandal.
