On Menswear Photography
Photography, a fun hobby and an essential part of the menswear content machine. Let’s talk about it.
The Jaunty Scarf
I think I only use the word “jaunty” when I’m talking about scarves. And it works perfectly, as the particular ones in this article are a lot of fun, both in print and how you wear them! Read More
My Contemporary Inspirations
From The Armoury to Drake’s, there’s plenty of inspiration to be had from the guys today. It ain’t always about vintage!
The Rollneck Sweater
It’s taken 11 months for the LA weather to hit under 70F, so that means it’s time for actual fall/winter outfits. And what better way to do it than to bring back the Rollneck sweater.
Don’t Forget to Look at Thrift Stores For Ties

The Return of Drop-Loop Trousers?
Pleats and high waist pants are finally coming back into the minds of everyday people, being present at Pitti Uomo and other sartorial gatherings. Fashion isn’t always new, with discerning gentlemen always looking toward the golden age of menswear (1930-1960) for inspiration to their latest suits. B&Tailor has started offering a certain style of trouser that instantly screams 1940-1955: the drop loop pant.
Pleats: They’ve Always been Cool
Just look at those pleats, courtesy of Permanent Style. If you show this to any mainstream fashion guy, he’d recoil immediately. Flat-front pants have been the way to go for the past few years. Favoring the clean look, the mainstream #menswear community has renounced all ties to the dreadful 1990s business look. But classic enthusiasts in the community have always favored pleats and have still had them in their trousers without looking terrible! Here, we look at the brief history of pleats and how they have evolved through menswear. Hopefully you’ll agree that pleats are, and always have been, cool.
Inspiration for Less: Chad Park
Because this is a blog, and not a newspaper, I’ve decided to focus more on individual outfits and blog about them. Doing so creates more content for my readers and lets go more indepth on why I picked what I wore and how I came up with it! Without further ado, here’s Street x Sprezza’s first entry into our new weekly series “Inspiration for Less”. And who better to be inspired by than Chad Park?
