Hi Mommy Posh,
My husband’s work wardrobe consists of grey pants and striped dress shirts, even for casual Fridays. What pieces do you recommend for my man to wear on these casual summer days so that he looks trendy, but yet corporate?
Thank You – Erica via Ask Mommy Posh

Erica,
Dressing for your man can be tricky, some men don’t like thinking outside the box when it comes to fashion.  So by telling him how sexy he looks and how he’ll stand out in the crowd (in a good way!) he just may transform right before your eyes. Just by adding a few cool/trendy pieces to his wardrobe can update his look for the summer.

So here’s a few pieces that I think every women should buy for their man:

Cool Clothes:
1. Cotton Shirt by INC International ($40)
2. Vest by American Rag Vest ($50) 
3. Linen Dress Pants by Dockers ($30) 

Accessories:
4. Leather Work Bag by Banana Republic ($198)
5. Aviators by Urban Boundaries Eyewear ($3) 

Shoes:
6. Boat Shoes by Crocs ($72)

Sorry Miz Parker, but this is by far a fashionista DON’T…the high, stiff hair reminds me of the Cameron Diaz’ gel hair look in “There’s Something About Mary” (insert chuckle here).
So Mommy Posh teamed up withBecome.com, the all-in-one shopping advice site, to bring to you the best of best when it comes to Haircare tips.
Keeping your hair looking fresh and clean for the summer can dramatically regulate your body’s overall temperature, so here’s the top 5 cool-hair looks for summer 2011.
1. Pony Up: A ponytail is a styling basic – you can sport it in so many ways – worn on the side, poufed or touseld – which can be transformed from a day to night look. Jennifer Aniston (pic 1) has been quoted to liking the ponytail look because of the easy breezy-ness of it.  To get the look, apply finishing cream to washed hair before blow-dryingit smooth, gather hair into a medium-height and secure it with an elastic, use pomade on the tail to give it an even more smoother look. 

2. Shellac It Back: Keeping your hair back from your face can instantly keep you cool and keep your skin looking young and fresh.  Slick your hair up like Kourtney Kardashian (pic 2).  The key to getting this smooth style? While hair is wet, pull it super-tight, and use cheap hairspray for men for that extra smooth look.

No matter what the scale says you are sure to look good in these outfits.  So if you are looking to revamp your look here’s my top 5 must-have looks for every season:

1. Shirt Dress. A shirtdress looks good on any size, it creates one continuous line. And with the belt, it accentuates curves even more.

2. Spring Blazers. A blazer is a wardrobe staple. It’s nearly universally flattering and it can provide an instant touch of cool with minimal effort. It comes in different styles, shapes and cuts – long, lean, oversized, fitted, double-breasted or single buttoned – to complement any closet.

3. Wrap Dress. Take it from fashion designer, Diane Von Furstenburg, the iconic wrap dress is for the everyday woman. The wrap dress continues to be as flattering and curve-loving as ever.

4. The Pencil Skirt. Depending on what part of your body you want to slim down, you can wear the skirt higher on the waist or lower on the hips. By adding a thick belt it can make anyone appear slim especially with a great pair of heels.

5. Leggings.   By wearing a tunic shirt or a shirt that is mid-length can make leggings appear wearable on any body type. Remember that if leggings are worn incorrectly they look just ugly.  For more inspiration See Lindsay Lohan’s Legging Collection.
