The Clothing Line Designed by Trace Ayala and Justin Timberlake

Hi All!  It’s time for Jack here and I have some hot news for you!

In men’s ,we just delivered none other than some very stylish William Rast clothing lines into some special Loehmann’s locations.  In case you didn’t pick up on it; that is the line Justin Timberlake is partnered with.  In other words, even the label makes you look real good.

Hollywood Looks without Hollywood Prices

If you haven’t checked out the William Rast collections, now is a great time.  Like the designers, the collection is young, hip, fresh and edgy. Even their website and video promos have a very produced, yet gritty movie quality. 

It’s good stuff, and that’s before you see the Loehmann’s pricing where everything is up to 60% off department store prices:

• William Rast Denim, Sweaters and pants are all 99.99
• Shirts from the William Rast line are 79.99

It might have started with Rachel Zoe…

The celebrity stylist is known for sporting this hot look, but this trend is now sweeping the streets! Everywhere we look, fashion is all about Faux Fur Vests; including at Loehmann’s.

With so many great faux fur fabrics to choose from, there is no surprise that the use of faux fur trim has gotten more and more prevalent in fashion over the last few years. This year’s hottest cool weather trend takes that one step farther; a Faux Fur vest is not the trim on the jacket, a Faux Fur vest is the trim on the model! It trims you!

It’s Raining Faux Fur!

There are all kinds of faux floating around! With the weather getting cooler, it’s the perfect time of year to get warm with this trend.   There are faux stables and minks, leopard and cheetahs, and Faux Shearling is also to be found;  long coats, short coats, jackets, hats, wraps, and of course, the vest.  Faux Fur Vest lets you extend a slim long sleeve look into the cooler weeks of fall. Instantly make your favorite casual wear go all warm and cozy just by adding a faux fur piece!  

The Best Thing about the Faux Fur Vest Trend?

Loehmann’s has selections of designer faux fur vests on the selling floor now with prices ranging from 49.99 to 149.99. We are talking the height of style here!  Plus, check out November’s In Style Magazine that also talks about Faux Shearling coats. Guess who has the featured main coat  shown on page 130 priced at 129.99 compared to $235!!! That makes this a trendy little faux luxury we can all afford at least if you get over to Loehmann’s!!

Don’t you just love all the faux fur vest looks we have been seeing all over?

How to Rock the Faux Fur Vest

A Faux Fur vest will demand attention, so don’t make it compete too much or it will end up yelling too loud. In other words, keep the rest of your look simple; aside from that; though, almost anything goes. 

Play up the Natural l Juxtaposition: Pair up a glamorous faux over evening wear with sophisticated lines.

Get Top Heavy: Match up with super slinky tethering high heels.

Run with Classics: Wear it with jeans or even a leather mini.

Comfy Chic: Keep a faux fur vest  casual with a pair of Ugg boots.

You can check out more put together looks for faux fur vest ideas and inspiration here. We’d wear it as a chic finish to a long sleeved white tee and jeans; finish with a sleek high pair of pointy toed boots.  Perfect!!  The only way it could get better than that is if you could get this year’s hottest fall trend for up to 65% off regular department store prices… and at Loehmann’s you can!   Looking fabulous just got that much better.

Loehmann’s Savings Featured on ABC

Hi All,

It’s time for Jack!

Here’s a great bit of fashion advice for you guys, (and the ladies that dress them!)

We were really excited to have a Loehmann’s-exclusive fashion segment, “Dress Your Man on a Budget” aire on Tuesday, October 20th  for ABC 7 in San Francisco. All of the men’s clothing featured on air were purchased at the Loehmann’s Men’s Store in San Francisco by Audrey Mansfield, stylist for the station.

As Audrey says, “Shopping for men doesn’t have to be an uphill battle!”

Here’s the video for anyone who missed it!

And then Audrey had lots of great advice on making a stylish man a cinch:

Tips to shopping affordably for your man
By Audrey Mansfield

1) Start a collection with a solid dark suit. That way you can extend your wardrobe by using the suit jacket as a sports coat paired with jeans or khakis. You can use the trousers for a more casual look, when paired with layered knits or a casual shirt and a sports coat.

2) Ties: Make sure your man knows how to tie a 1/2 Windsor knot. It’s a knot that will stay perfectly centered. A heavier gauge tie will always sit a little away from the shirt and that gives the tie a very expensive look.

3) Most men don’t like to go discount shopping. So do your prep work and pre-pull the items you like. Put them on hold and bring your man into the store the next day to try them on. That way he won’t feel so overwhelmed.

So go check out the video and remember you heard it from Jack!!
