Socks and Other Signs of a Well Dressed Man: Pinky Rings
As I was watching American Gangster this evening, I couldn't help but notice how impeccably dressed the characters in the movie were. One thing that caught my eye was the jewelry that the men in the movie had on. In this day in age, we often don't see men wearing any jewelry other than their watches, but I appreciate when a man has put in a little extra effort to find jewelry pieces that show his personality and heightened fashion sense. Celebs like Jay-Z and Big Boi have been wearing the pinky ring to accentuate their ensembles for years. I encourage men to take a chance and sport a pinky ring this season.
"As If": The Cher Effect
In the past few seasons, what I like to call the Clueless influence has taken storm of the fashion world. Basically, the fashions that were popular in the early to mid 1990s are resurfacing in shoes, clothing and accessories everywhere.

Remember the platform shoes that Cher and Dionne wore to class everyday? A number of designers, including the European ASOS are releasing platformed sandals with thick straps and stacked heels, like the ones seen below.

The good thing about the resurgence of this trend? Stacked heels and thicker straps are more comfortable than the stiletto heels that have become popular in recent years. Let's hope this trend sticks around for a while.
Like Brittany Murphy's character, Ty, Rihanna and a host of other celebrities have been spotted pairing combat boots with a more feminine ensemble.

Rihanna is seen below in leopard print knee over the knee socks by Wolford. These socks are a nod to the knee-highs that Alicia Silverstone and Stacey Dash made popular in the mid-1990s.
