back then.

back before young people had the notion that style was mass produced skinny jeans and that making a statement entailed wearing bright colors, people could dress. in my opinion these are some of the best dressed men of all time. they are the best dressed because they found a style that fit them and went with it. they did not wear fad clothing but rather went with simple styles that suited them.

the basics..timeless

here at the rockerfeller, we don't believe in fads instead we believe in timeless style. so i have made a list of basic that every man should keep in his closet so that he can remain relevant in today's ever changing world without looking like a trend hopping jackass.

first is the timeless polo, preferably ralph lauren. rl polo's tend to hold up better over time but keep in mind they retail for about $75. the polo is timeless and can be dressed up or down easily. just add a cardigan to dress it up or forget the cardigan and you look casual.

the second must have is a good pair of jeans. i don't mean you have to spend hundreds of dollars but stay away from anchor blue or any sign that says 2 pairs for... instead buy some levi's. if you can afford to splurge i would recommend hundreds denim, seven, dkny or nudie. try to the make sure you get a basic jean without too many logos so you can rewear them anything with noticeable logos should be worn sparingly.

a simple pair of shoes is great too. i would always recommend for the simple fact that black goes with everything. if vans aren't your taste that is fine, maybe some converse allstars, jack prucells or nike blazers are more your speed. try not to buy anything to expensive as these should be all purpose and a pair of shoes you're not afraid to get dirty, as these are for everyday uses.

last but not least...a timepiece. in a world thats ruled by cell phones and technology we can easily check our phone for the time, but a timepiece allows you to do the same and also adds to what you are currently wearing. in addition its sets you apart because most people don't wear watches. it doesn't have to be expensive just something you're comfortable in. try to stay away from metal bands as they scratch easy which limits how long you can wear them. leather is great because even if your band wears away you can always replace it, and its much cheaper than buying new links for a metal watch.

i leave you with this: in the world of fashion simplicity is king.

watch yourself.

i've noticed many young men my age no longer wear time pieces, mainly because everyone carries a cell phone now. that being said i think it is important to own at least one time piece.

shown here is a basic g-shock much like the one i own. this a great watch because its useful stylish and it goes with everything. this watch sells for $99. it also goes with everything because its black on black. please take my advice and do not get a watch that is a crazy. a watch should look like an accessory on your wrist not bag of skittles.

this next watch is one from the michael kors collection. i think this one is of the best watched i've seen in a while. it is simple and elegant. it can be dressed up and down which is always great to keep in mind when purchasing a watch. although michael kors is a high designer his watches are moderately priced. this one is $165

both of the watches i showed are large faced watches, keep in mind this is what is in style. that being said lets be smart about our purchases. don't get something thats too impractical and says look at me i have bad taste.

standard

for those who didn't know i have an extensive shoe collection. i have everything from deadstock jordans to rare nike sb's. as nice is it is to have options you can't always wear these shoes because they're expensive and often hard to match with due to the unique colorways. that being said i am a firm believer in having an all purpose pair of shoes, whether you have 25 pairs of shoes or just 3. it is always good to have a hi-quality shoe/sneaker that can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion.

shown here is the huf hupper. new for this season and comes in variety of colors. i don't have any of these yet but plan on buying several colorways to keep in rotation.

here is the sk8-hi standard issue lx from the vans vault. this is one of my favorite shoes in my closet. very good shoe and can be easily dressed up and down.

here is the nike blazer, another shoe which i keep in rotation. this shoe is great because it comes in suede. over time the suede wears which some see as a problem but i like it because over time it gives the shoe a different look so six months in you have a different shoe than what you started with.

most of these shoes are in the 80 dollar range and are perfect for all purpose wear. simple.clean. classic.

good shwood.

fashion is being pushed to new heights. a prime example is the recent turn to alternative materials such as wood to make accessories and jewelry.i am intrigued with this approach because it looks great, and because there is a lot of craftsman ship that goes into it for a relatively fair price. one of the companies that has stepped into this arena of alternative materials is shwood. shwood produces sunglasses of a variety of different materials. this is a great example of form meeting functionality. i am definitely considering getting a pair as should you.

this is the govy model in rosewood.

this is the canby model in maple.

fashion fail.

hypebeast- Sneakerheads who only rock hyped up shit to get props b/c they got no self worth or sense of style. 2. 50% of NikeTalk members

here at the rockerfeller report we believe that fashion is best done in simplicity.

just some food for thought. how do these people expect to be taken seriously. you can collect shoes without being over the top. take some pride in the way you dress and people respect. not to sound mean but image is everything in this world.

good ass job.

kanye west has begun a new movement in which he wears designer suits everywhere he goes, which is known as the rosewood movement. we at the rockerfeller report have taking a liking to this considering that the world of mainstream hip hop has followed a barrage of bad trends from skinny jeans to bright colors, this change in fashion brings some professionalism to a genre of music which is associated which an attitude of apathy. the best part of this movement is that is more than just tailored suits. it requires the people involved in it to conduct themselves with class, be gentlemen and take care of their family. are musicians starting to take responsibility for the way they affect the lives of other? lets hope so.

if it ain't fitted then quit it.

here at the rockerfeller report we believe every gentleman should posses the tools to look his best, whether it be casual or formal.

i have recently stumbled upon indochino which makes custom suits in the bespoke fashion. for those of you who don't know what a bespoke fit is, it is a suit which is made to the customers specifications. i would recommend a more slim fit as it looks tidy. in addition to having a high quality custom made suit i have also found the prices to be quite reasonable. in addition to suits inchino also makes an array of custom made products and have great accessories. when you dress for success you receive the best.

dope shoes..that'll never be made

as you may or may not know skateboarding legend eric koston ended his partnership with 

lakai ltd earlier this year. this is the koston 1, it was supposed to be his sneaker for this year

just another day

tip of the day: dress better than everyone eles

it's not about "stuntin" or "shittin on people"

its about dressing for who you are and will be

if you sell your self short now then you will do it again it in the future

dress the best because you plan on being the best

have the best everything not just clothes i'm not saying you have to go to banana republic, gucci, tom ford etc..

i'm just saying next time you see something and your thinking that's 20 bucks more

than i thought of spending but its really nice....buy the damn thing...you'll probably feel

better knowing you have it and you look good..you'll thank me later

fuck a recession

fashion gone wrong...

his jeans are so tight he needs someone to hold em while he jumps into them...by the way extra swagger points for the cliche scarf
