Velvet García Madrid

García Madrid is walking towards becoming one of the most important brands in Spanish Fashion Scene due to its genuine and personal designing, and the charismatic personality of its owner and creator, Manuel García. A tireless entrepeneur and designer who still manages the whole business on its own. With two stores in Madrid and a third recently opened in Chile, the Spanish brand is in a period of expansion. Everyone wants to wear GM designs, thats why we want to choose a great piece of clothing from its Fall/Winter Collection.

Velvet has been a key fabric from last seasons but always used in blazers and sweatshirts, but García Madrid have created a coat in brown velvet that can give to your outfit a distinguishing and smart touch, and enliven up a dull office look.

Un peu de glamour avec Maison Martin Margiela

Lost & Fine was born with the idea to find the most balance look among all the urban tribes searching among all the high street clothing retailers. But today we feel the need to talk about Maison Martin Margiella and one of the sweatshirt from its latest collection.

We love it and you can have it if you have some spare 400 pounds in your wallet. Petty cash, you know. It’s funny because this single piece costs more than the sum of all the products we have feature since Lost & Fine started. That’s why we hope any clothing retail will copy soon. There is nothing extraordinary with this one but its big pannel external pocket and its creamy color drive us crazy.

Skater fit (volume I) Unbelievable prints

We have been rejecting long lenght t-shirts for a while, but now we have to surrender to the appealing collection that Topman have just introduce this season.

From plain black or white, with details like printed letters at the bottom,  or golden zips at both sides, to houndstooth print or the fashionable 'museum print' on the Criminal Damage Collection where the 'The oath of the Horatii' t-shirt is the highlight. Painting by Jacques-Louis David from 1784 on display at Le Louvre Museum in Paris. You can be a thug but a cultured one.

Primark, the smart copy of the copy

Primark has surprises us way much with one of their latest designs in its Spring/Summer Menswear collection.

They have smartly created the ultimate sweatshirt of this season joining forces with Disney.

If you are a fan of the Brian Lichtenberg imitation of Hermès jumper, who is one of the most desired items of last few months, you can have this elegant and funny rendition by Primark for 12 pounds. Check it out.

Straight to the pool with H&M

As every clothing retail company, H&M has launched its mens swimwear collection. Among all the tacky and all-year-the-same designs, we have selected our favourite three: Anchor printed in any blue, faded in red and blue versions and the plain green shorts. All of them with very good prices. What is your favourite?

How to cuff your pants pin-rolled style

We want to share with you some of the tutorials about how to cuff your trousers. I am sure almost everyone know how to give a special touch to your trousers but if you are still wondering how to do it. Here it goes. 

Braided mocassins, a smart risky option

The recognition of the rubber braided shoes by adults as a revival from the childhood has open many doors for designers to let their imagination flow and give us an hybrid such as the one that is the hype in Zara this season. 

This braided mocassins look very confortable and seem to came from another planet, its like Romans meet Englishmans from XX Century. Definitely this shoes are for bold and smart men who want to give a refresher touch to their summer look.

Dress me from the inside, American Apparel

From all the underwear I have ever wear, the briefs from American Apparel are the underpants that have gave me the best satisfaction. They endure, dont fade easily, are cheap, and look decent and fashionable enough to wear at any situation. From a job interview to a night out. What is your favourite color?

Find the perfect bowtie

In my bowtie online research i have found amazing collections with cute and smart bowtie made out of the most unexpected prints and materials.  

But SoftColors is the one that combines elegance, and great designs inspired by all kinds of styles, from navy with anchors everywhere, to geographical maps, or butterfly winds wise, but at the same time they have a wide range of classical not-so-edgy bowties.

This bowtie designer, originally from Romania but based in Madrid, Spain. Don't go to Topman or Zara to try to find the funkiest bowtie, enter in their website and have a look.

The best New Balance trainers ever

New Balance trainers are a classic that, appart from being a fetish for gays and a key peace in the shoe cupboard for hipsters, have been chosen by all kinds of people. This season New Balance have designed one of the best ever. The 574 model its not specially different from other, it is as chunky as the other leather lines but perfectly slender. In burgundy color are ideal for this early spring, although it has been one of the main colors in last season. Do you like them?

Cropped trousers by Uniqlo

Its amazing how quality matches low prices at Uniqlo, a brand well known for its high quality and fine designed trousers. Now that Spring is right here, this cropped trousers are your perfect ally for a day off or a hectic day at office. They are stretchy enough to feel confortable because they are made out 3% of Spandex and the 97% of cotton.


Whether you are a waiter or a superbroker, Uniqlo cropped trousers are an easy to match option. You can combined them with the Zara baroquish sweather and the United Colors of Benetton parka.

The ultimate parka by United Colors

The parka is the perfect overcoat for the spring and United Colors of Bennetton have designed one of the trendiest.

Coming in different colors this light parka is perfect with rolled up jeans and flashy trainers. Its a shame they dont sell all the colors in the website.

A new twist in the Baroque style sweatshirts

The S/S Collection in Zara this year give us for the first time one of those sweatshirts that other brands have been selling since last year. But Zara offers a finer version of the baroque style print.

There's no controversial Virgin Mary prints or italian sculptures like ones from D&G originally and Topman or River Island ones, in this case its a mythological scene inspired in a -possibly- french painting what we can observe. Its on the verge of being tacky but well coordinated -with white or light blue trousers and plain shoes- can be a success.

What do you think? Would you be happy wearing a Velázquez, a Rubens or a Caravaggio?
