From the Match Me Matching Table - Nice But Hard to Match

We have posted before about this particular Paul Smith Junior shirt being hard to match.  It has a few shades of black and grey and a hard borderline sea-foam (blue with shades of green) stripe and reversable cuff/collar.

When a customer asked what we recommended for it we thought that the Fendi Kids Round Neck Sweater with Logo Patch Elbows was the right combo for the shirt.  The navy and grey in the sweater works together with the navy blue and grays in the shirt.

For pants we left it with any classic navy dress pant as the customer pretty much wanted to go there.  A nice rich (not sporty type) corduroy navy pant would also work lending a touch of sport to the otherwise classic sweater and borderline sporty shirt.

Here is what we got when we put them together:

Happy Black Friday!

PS:  If you are a reader of this blog you are about to get rewarded as I will let you in on a secret that no one yet knows about...Whereas everyone will get 10% off their cart, I am gonna offer another 13% off your entire shopping cart on orders made on Cyber Monday 2012.  Just enter the code SIMPLY13 to get your additional 13% on your entire cart (and that means EVERYTHING in your cart ;-) ).(and no, you cant combine this coupon with another one!) (and when I say 13% off your cart I mean instead of the 10%, not combined with the 10%)

The Contrast in Gray

As mentioned yesterday, grays work with probably every color.  And while that is true I think that the best combinations with grays are black, because black offers the most contrast against the gray (unless that gray is a charcoal in which case there is little contrast as the gray is almost a black.

On this matching table the customer asked for help wth this pair of Gianfranco Ferre Glen Plaid Pants.

Which we paired with this Paul Smith Junior Black and Grey Sweater

For a sharp and chic look of this:

Incidentally, Richard C. (Our senior salesperson) put this pant with the Bordeux Il Gufo Sweater from yesterday's post picking up on the red detail stitching of the pant.

C'mon, we know you have something to say...let's hear it!

The Matching Table In Action - Paul Smith Junior

Our matching table is up and running and we have already served over 80 requests for matching help.

Here are some of the looks that we have helped people with in the last few weeks.

Customer asked about help with this Paul Smith Junior Shirt that they had already purchased.

Now, one of the beautiful things about this shirt is that it works equally well as a casual piece or a dress one as you will soon see.

In a casual setting one might pair it with a Diesel Kids jean so it looks like this:

in this case I would wear the shirt untucked.

Alternatively one can use this shirt as a dress wear piece and coordinate it with the following Paul Smith Junior Items.

The Mini Check Dress Pant 

Together with the Paul Smith Junior Block Two Tone Trim cardigan sweater

PS:  I left the shirt untucked here so you could get a look at it with the pant and sweater however you would ordinarily tuck it in.

Frontsies Backsies

You know the deal beause we all did it as kids.  You let your best friend in front of you in the long line at school or at a ride at the fair and they reciprocate the "favor" by letting you go in front of them.

Well, here we mean something entirely diferent.  It's when you have a shirt that has a pattern on the front and a different pattern on the back.  Its a creative look because it shows that the designer was not just making this shirt to get by which they could have done with the front pattern but wanted it to be especially cute and in most cases they succeed.  Mom's and Dad's love 'em because they add a special touch to what otherwise may have been just a cute T, cuz now its a cute too plus the "don't look now but WHAM!  GOTCHYA, Bet you didnt see THAT coming!

:-)

Here are a few boys and girls looks that cute on their own but throw in the back of the shirt and you got that "WHAM, DONT LOOK NOW" look!

Well Start with the GianFranco Ferre Shirt that we worked in the last few days.  The front is sedate.  The back, WOW! Factor 7!

GianFranco Ferre Kids T-Shirt

Or for a little softer change from front to back with a definite cuteness factor is this Paul Smith Junior T-Shirt (hard to digitally depict in orange as is red, so see the pic o the site for better and more accurate color)

Paul Smith Junior Paper Dog T-Shirt

which has the paper model dog folded in the front but with the unfolded tabbed in the back.  Definitely cute!  WOW! Factor 4 

For the Girls here are two examples, first being the Lili Gaufrette Ludeul Bow Top which looks meh in the front but with the three bows in the back is quite adorable.  Even so the WOW Factor gets a 5 as its a cute but quiet top.

Finally for a simply adorable look on the theme of Frontsies-Backsies you can't beat Little Marc Jacobs who usually does something like the Miss Marc Kirsten Sweat Dress below.

With the Back Here.  Simply Adorable for a WOW! FACTOR 9

How do I know that Moms and Dad's love em?  Cause that's the last piece!

Cruising About

If you are lucky some point in your life you and the family will get invited or will go on a really cool cruise.  Heck, if you are lucky you or your family will make a really cool cruise.  When that happens, who says only dad or mom has to look cool calm and collected on that cruise event?

Shown below we get you ready for the ocean with the usual maritime colors.

For the older boy, go with light blues or white and traces of navy like you see here on the GianFranco Ferre Cotton Stripped Jacket, shown with Gianfranco Ferre Shirt and White Pant.  The shirt is a button down with knitted collar tab to give off a more casual effect.
