I tried to get close to the earth this week, but I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get back up!

If you want these jeans, buy them here or in the 36″ inseam length.
Chambray for Him
By April 19, 2013
I’ve mentioned quite a few times that I love chambray. So you can imagine my delight as I’ve stumbled upon a few options for men…and TALL men at that! I realize this might be a bit of a risk for some of you. But trust me when I say, you will look great rocking this trend. Not sure how to wear it? Try it with khakis or even darker denim. Most men don’t own colored denim (and I am not suggesting you run out and get a pair), but if you do, chambray + colored denim never gets old. Feeling a bit scared to try it? Why not try it just with shoes or a tie? White shirt + Khakis + Chambray kicks OR white button down + chambray tie + khakis= laid back guy style. Just keep everything else simple and go for it. Here are a few pieces to consider:
Row 1: 1969 striped chambray utility shirt in indigo stripe (Tall). DC Studio TX SE. Up to size 14.
Row 2: Chambray Short. 11 inch inseam. Chambray Skinny Tie.
Row 3: 1969 Chambray Shirt (Tall). Men’s Straw Fedora in Chambray.
My favorite is the classic chambray shirt in the third row. What’s yours?
