The Cardigan
Remember those grandpa tops that gave you nightmares about your geriatric days to come? Well you better find yourself one, because they are in. Of course, I'm talking about cardigans. They're not for old men of the AARP class anymore. They're for you. And you would do good to have a couple in your closet.
Cardigans have become so mainstream that even many hip-hop-ers are stepping up their style game by with them. Take a look...
The thing about cardigans is that they're very versatile. They can be worn with a leather jacket, sports jacket, blazer or shirt. They can also be worn on their own. GQ did an article late last year on cardigans featuring Mr. Hudson, check it out.
Here are a couple that I've see and liked:

As I said, these are just a couple. However, here are a few tips on selecting your cardigan: firstly, keep it simple. Unless you're Kanye West with Amber Rose on your arm, stick to muted colors - blue, black, gray. You could try a plain cream or white - that's as bright as you should go. Secondly, after you've selected coulour ensure that there aren't many logos or designs on the cardigan. Stay away from the Ed Hrady look. Less is more. Remember, keep it simple.

Revenge of the Nerds
No matter where in the world you went to high-school they were there, the nerds. You made fun of the brainy attitude and their geeky attire. But now, the Nerds have flip the script. And fashion seems to be following them.
Back in the day, the main article that defined "Nerdom" was the glasses. Those pairs of black, plastic-framed eye-wear. However, these days they are must-have fashion accessory for men. Eyeglasses are like footwear for your face - a good pair will get you noticed, and possibly laid. And the celebrities and many of the fashion world's alpha males, have taken the cue...

See, looks good, doesn't it. But, as with any good pair of shoe, it's all about the fit. GQ offers the following tip : "your glasses should be about the wide as your face - no wider, no narrower. And the top of your frames should hit your eyebrows." With that in mind, get yourself a pair and say thanks to Buddy Holly. And the nerds.
