Fall '09 Preview: Black Will Be Back

As if it ever left, right? Well, black did temporarily lose favor over the last few years as earth tones had the rule of the day during the fall and winter months (who doesn't appreciate a zesty burnt orange every now and then?) But now, starting next week, be prepared to rock your black outfits again. Black is back.

The Return of 'Dressing Up'

When was the last time you and a friend actually "dressed up," to go out? I've blogged about this before, but it's paramount that we start looking good, people. Church doesn't count. I mean, dressed up to go to a nice place. It could be a free place, but you looked nice. No baggy jeans. No hat pulled sideways across the face. Women: No bellie button peaking out from under your shirt. No thong crest in view. And are there places to go in the city where people can look nice?

Andre 3000's Clothing Line 'Surviving'

Favorite ATLien Andre Benjamin, one-half of the successful duo Outkast, is quoted in The New York Observer as saying he'll leave The A if his clothing line takes off. He said the line is not necessarily troubled, but is "surviving." Personally I like the Benjamin Bixby line, especially the fall collection. The first thing you notice about the Benjamin Bixby line is the warm inner lining. Everything is well insolated. It's a prep-school look, for sure though.
As of now, no word on a women's line though.
