Formatting IT SS'13 wardrobe

As long as I have started writing about my life in the IT world I realized that my interest in styling broadened from strictly womenswear to both male and female clothes. Criticizing is a nice thing only when you offer some ways of solving the problem. So here I am surfing through the latest collections of menswear presented this summer for the next season -  SS 2013. It's not an easy task trying to find something appropriate for the office and lifestyle of the IT crowd and yet attractive for them. My boys are capricious ones. Like all men are, probably.
I have chosen three tendences for them to follow (or not =):

• modern dandy

The thing is that finally (oh, I've been praying for that! =)) they  have to meet the clients and have to possess a kind of the "safe -to-do-business-with" look. They would hardly succeed in this mission with their everyday traditional outfit. And as if the designers anticipated this moment, they have presented a few ensembles just perfect for my boys to impress the clients.

Alexander McQueen

Armani

Marc Jacobs

• striped knitwear

These looks remind me of France and romance. They can be appropriate in and out of office as long as there are no important meetings

Armani

 I love the way the colors are played with in Dior collection. Even the shoelaces contribute to the general styling of the outfit:

 Dior Homme

• sport

I suppose this section will be the favourite one for my IT crowd as they like going in for sports. Besides, these things are very practical, which crowns the top list of values important for the clothes according to my boys.=) Sporty elements can be found almost in every collection

Armani

Burberry

Dior Homme

Lanvin

There is one more section that was striking me through all my overviewing the collections. I call it the Big No group and I'm definitely not showing or recommending it to my IT guys.=)

Burberry

Diesel

Marc Jacobs

Burberry

Missoni

Moschino

With all love and respect towards the brands and designers I really don't recommend this outfit because it's too bright, short, weird and (please not again) sandals-over-socks for the life of the IT guy. =)

IT-guys Spring Essentials

My twitter is about to explode with the tweets hashtagged #LFW=)Meanwhile I am pondering over the thing that twitter could be the favourite social network for my IT guys if they weren't so lazy. It's perfect because it's laconic. Only 140 characters - that's it. I remember the first time they opened my blog. A  half of them barely reached the second paragraph of the post and gave up: Too many letters.That was the verdict. Whatever. =)
I think the same thing happens with them when  it comes to fashion. Have you ever seen a programmer wearing layers of clothing or mixing accessories to get a perfect look? Me either. I am talking about the average IT worker, not an exception. =)
Having surfed through the menswear collections for the upcoming spring-summer season, I have picked up a few looks that would probably satisfy the picky workers of the IT world. Most of the garments have clean simple lines and are of basic or pastel colors:

•  Calvin Klein
