Be an Outsider

Be an Outsider
I've heard the old saying that the "Clothes make the Man" but personally I believe that the clothes don't so much make the man but reflect upon the mans spirit. What we wear can speak volumes about who we are, what we do and even betray some of our quirkiest traits. With this being said, I would like to show you a few pieces from Universal Gear's winter outerwear collection that I think are special and a must have for this season.
blog_1.jpg

Versatile
The name says it all, versatility is key when going from day to night (from the office to a holiday party) and when traveling lite for the holidays. The Ben Sherman Melton trench is perfect for a versatile jacket to take you from shopping for last minute gifts to arriving at your best friends annual X-Mas cocktail party. Casual but not overly dressy.

Classic
Who doesn't love James Dean (or his 90's reincarnation Luke Perry) J.D. has a simple yet classic look. It was understated but made him the sex symbol he is today. And what was his trade mark accessory? The Leather Jacket. Projek Raw came out with a beautifully sinful Ribbed Moto Jacket this year, this piece is detailed and has a wonderful fit. They call it a classic for a reason.

Forward

For those who want a statement piece, a jacket that says "I'm Here!" look no further than the Antony Morato Peacoat Trench. The Rich Navy color will stand out from all the blacks & greys in the room. This piece has an exquisite fit and fine detail work. This is one of those pieces where people stop you on the street to simply say "Nice coat, where did you get it." - Be bold, make a statement!

Boot D' Licious

bootd.JPG

NEW Fall Boots are in! Go ahead, take a moment. Don't worry. . . we won't look. Take a deep breath and say that final goodbye to your flip flops & sandals. That's right, pack them way, close the box and put it under your bed. It is time for you to trade in your sandals for something bit more substantial. Dry your tears and get ready for your introduction to our NEW Fall Boot collection.

That's right, the boot is back this season with a fresh new twist. The boot has a rounded toe, rugged sole, worn in details and laces up to right above the ankle. The boot should be worn with slimmer fitting jeans. Tuck the bottom of the jean into the boot and only lace it up two thirds. For those who are really looking to leave their mark complete the outfit with a pair of fingerless Goorin gloves.


Switch up your look with new styles from Replay, G-Star & Kenneth Cole.

NEW BRAND BIO - PISS & VINEGAR

Piss and Vinegar - Noun
(idiomatic) Exuberance or enthusiasm, especially to an excessive degree; bravado; youthful energy. [from mid-20th c.]


Unapologetic and sassy, Piss & Vinegar is a fun in your face underwear brand that has recently become a new member of the Universal Gear family (just in time for the Spring 25% OFF Underwear Sale), From the "fun-derwear" genius of Jason Sutherland, the man behind Ginch Gonch, Piss & Vinegar has campy sass, a wonderful fit and a new amazing waistband technology that gives it a unique texture and feel.

UNDERWEAR SALE - 25% OFF!

UNDERWEARSALE.jpg

UNDERWEAR SALE . . . probably the two best words in the English language! From March 17th to April 7th Universal Gear is selling all of their full priced "Manties" at 25% OFF ! That's right, all of your favorite underwear brands will be on SALE , Calvin Klein, 2(x)ist, C-IN2, Hugo Boss, Papi, Ginch Gonch and Andrew Christian! And if that's not enough we have several new brands we've added to the UG family who will also be joining the promotion.



NEW BRAND BIO - Todd & Terry

Retro and Kitsch are two words that I would use to describe this light hearted underwear line. This brand was inspired by the prints and designs of decades past, giving you that fun fanciful feeling of the 60's and 70's. Comfortable with a wink and a nod to a time of indulgence, freedom and shag carpeting, I find Todd and Terry to be a great fit with a groovy style.

UNDERWEARBLOGTODD.jpg


NEW BRAND BIO - Clever Underwear

The fun colors and fabrics of Clever Underwear always remind me of the feel and energy of Miami. Bright and bold and most definitely not afraid of a little color, this brand brings the Sexy Back to underwear (Sorry Justin, no pun intended). I feel that the designers understood that they were making underwear not for the sake of utilitarian design but for the guy who wants to feel sultry and seductive. I applaud the bold colors and designs of Clever Underwear I think this brand will be a great pick for the UG customer.

UNDERWEARBLOGCLEVER1.jpg


*Don't be shy! Take advantage of this great underwear sale, the underwear discount is amazing at 25% off and where else can you find such a variety of sale underwear. Get your favorites now while the sizes are still in stock!

Days of Denim

denimblogdil1.jpg

There is just something sexy about a man in a plain white tee and a pair of jeans. If you don't believe me look to some of Hollywood's leading men, James Dean, Marlon Brando, John Travolta (during his Grease days) and Mark Wahlberg. . . all of these tinsel town hunks have one thing in common. . .they sure could fill out a great pair of denim.

What I like about denim, and please forgive the pun, is that it's universal. In today's culture jeans have become the most common piece of clothing we are likely to wear in our day to day lives. If asked how would you describe the perfect pair of denim I would have to say that they'd have to be well fitted, comfortable, and versatile. I like a jean that you can dress up or dress down. A great pair of jeans are to men what the little black dress is to women, we all should have at least one and it should go with almost everything we own.

I believe in having a decent smattering of denim in ones' collection. There should always be a dark wash and a light wash, a lazy jean (for pure comfort-sake) and a say something jean (for when you just broke up with your ex and you're on the hunt). Also don't be afraid to try new things. I was a boot-cut purest for years until I stumbled upon the Diesel Viker Straight Leg and fell in love! I can't stand it when people say that they can't rock a skinny jean, to this I often reply you just haven't found the right one. In fact I was with a customer the other day who said the very same thing to me and then I introduced him to the 7 For All Mankind Slimmy. He was shocked, he had never actually tried a skinny jean, he just thought that they weren't for him. It's all about variety. Right now worn in denim is really hot, Adriano Goldschmied has an amazing collection of aged denim that is put through a unique process to look like worn and rugged. For example, the Protege 5 year is a great straight leg jean that has been aged to look like it's been worn for 5 years. The same goes for the Protege 8 year, but note that the 8 year is more distressed. It's such a unique concept.

*Universal Gear is launching their annual spring Denim Sale on February 3 rd 2010. During the Days of Denim Sale you will be able to get all of your favorite jeans at 25% off. . .this is the first time we are offering ALL denim at 25% off. We're talking Diesel, G-Star, Rock N Republic, Project Raw, and Levi's plus NEW denim brands like 7 for All Mankind, Adriano Goldschmied , and 1921. Take advantage of this great sale before it ends on February 23 rd 2010.

So, if you haven't already heard Universal Gear's Underwear Sale has started! For those of you familiar with the Gear, you know that twice a year we have a phenomenal Underwear promotion where we mark down all of our Manties! This year in addition to our famous 25% off all Underwear we are also offering an unheard of 50% off select styles. Crazy, right? So don't just sit there!

And while we're on the subject of underwear we just received a new shipment from Diesel, now I must warn you that I am absolutely obsessed with Diesel underwear, especially these beauties. They have an amazing fit, smart design and not to mention they are totally comfortable. This new line is quite creative with bold colors and comical screen prints. If you love underwear that doesn't fit the norm and that's a little quirky, Diesel has you covered (just barely, check out the hot low rise brief).

TAKE THE PLUNGE INTO NEW DENIM

With our bi-annual Denim Sale starting on Monday, now is the perfect time to take a look at what 's new in the denim world for spring 2009. This spring we 're back with 25% off select styles, AND we 've added several select styles at 50% off and 10% off all other full price denim.

Our new ad slogan is "Dive into Denim" which is fitting considering that the choices we have in denim this year are as vast as the ocean is deep. Our styles and price points cover all the bases. All of the big hitters are here (Diesel, G-Star, Energie), but this year we are seeing some new faces (Project Raw) as well as revisiting a few fond favorites(Levi's, Buffalo). We are seeing a re-emerging of boot-cut and flare leg styles as well as the straight and skinny jeans that were so strong in 2008. I 'm going to give you a run-down of some of our best denim styles along helpful hints to help you along in '09.

Dark wash denim really is where you want to be; it is versatile, fresh and slimming to the body. Diesel has three styles that are a wardrobe must for every man. The Zathan-8IW, Viker-88Z, Zaf-81W are all perfect day to night jeans. The dark wash and clean cut make them completely adaptable; pair these with a sharp dress shirt for a relaxed work day or a hip v neck tee for night out with the guys.

Come here often? For the guy who has an active social life choosing the right style of denim can be a great conversation starter at any gathering. "Your jeans are hot, where'd you get them?" There are a lot of great styles out there for all social occasions. Project Raw and Levi 's have rock star worthy styling that is sure to turn a few heads. The Project Raw jean has a killer fit with edgy leather studded accents that would make Dave Navarro jealous. Levi's has that classic James Dean black wash and sexy fit that screams bad boy. And, while not everyone can pull off the rocker look there are other great alternatives that still say "Hey I'm here to party." The Buckley-DZ jean from Energie has a fun medium wash with minor abrasion detailing, low rise, and great fit. These styles definitely lend themselves to fun accessorizing, and are affordable at $44.63-$97.13 during the sale.

Light Denim always reminds me of spring and summer; the sun is shining, the gloom of winter is gone and it's time to rebuild my tan! There are some great styles from G-Star and Levi's that capture this feeling exactly. The Script boot-cut from G-Star and the Welder straight leg from Levi's are both light-weight denim with complementing fits that are perfect for the warm days soon to come. Light wash denim usually has a laid back casual look; I like to play that aspect up by pairing them with flip flops or Converse and a fitted tee or tank.

With all the denim options out there it's key to have different styles in your collection. You don't want to be a one trick pony. Give yourself a good assortment of light to dark washes, always have at least one boot-cut in the mix and don't be afraid to play with your look. White tees are a natural pairing with jeans but they are not your only option. Dress up your denim with a dress shirt and blazer. Pair this combo with a clean dress shoe or boot and voila! You have a sophisticated outfit without looking stuffy or over dressed. Denim is universal and style is a must, it's a new year and a new you. So toss aside those old worn out jeans and dive into a fresh pair.

The Denim sale is February 4th-24th See you there!
