Thomas Pink is a New Yorker’s favorite for all industry’s. I am surprised that it’s available at Bellevue’s Nordstrom because I thought it was a bit flashy for the average Northwest man.
Great choice Nordstrom Men’s Merchandiser/Buyer!
Who do you see wearing this colorful Thomas Pink here in Seattle/Bellevue?
Apparently, they have the best white button up shirts. Are you a fan of Thomas Pink?

A great place to start for some quality men’s clothing for the simplified guy. I LOVE Raf Simons.

Raf Simon’s for Dr. Marten’s are a bit bizzare, but I like them.
Not sure if you can find them at Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus, but it’s definitely available online and at Barneys.
Okay. It’s old. I know. It’s almost 2010 and I’m pulling stats from 2008. Well, (almost) 2 years ago, Forbes did a survey to find out what the best men’s store were from around the country.
Check out what they results are from Forbes.

Another ranking list is by Esquire, check out their results.
So for you men, what is your favorite Men’s STORE to shop (not designer/label)? Let me clarify… here in Seattle or Bellevue (Greater Puget Sound Area)?
+Nordstrom
+Neiman Marcus
+Barney’s
+Mario’s
+Nordstrom Rack
Usually designers start out luxury and create an affordable line during an economic state like now. (For example like Zac Posen).
Forever 21 on the other hand is growing bigger by making a more expensive line called Collection.
It reminds me a bit of Balmain, a perfect look for NYE‘s!
But my favorite is Twelve by Twelve.
How are you going to start the NEW year? A time for a Fresh start for year 2010?
I want to help you start the New Year with a great look that exemplifies your personal style.
Similar to Halloween (where you are allowed to dress provocatively without being judged) think of New Year’s Eve as an opportunity to wear something that you wouldn’t particularly wear. Something so bold and fierce that people will drop their jaws and they won’t be able to judge you (or negatively at the least) because it can be rationalized by the current holiday.

I’m not sure if you will believe me or not, but I have been seeing these hats from time to time here in Bellevue.
It is available in all price points. Real or Faux, your choice.
What do you think? Do you like them? I think they’re pretty brave!
What do you think? It was an extra 30% off sale price. Both items bought for less than $100 at the Bellevue Square Banana Republic!
