Sir Byron's Product Review: Soul Socks

Thursday, October 31, 2013


If you know me then you know I really enjoy a awesome pair of socks. To be honest the more unique the sock is the better in my book! I recently had the privilege to check out a pair from the company Soul Socks and let me say I am very impressed! Check out my review of this awesome company that is new to the scene and is definitely giving other companies a run for their money!

 Soul Socks

The Company: Ok, if you love socks this is a pretty cool concept. One of the things you can do is subscribe to their sock program and receive a pair of unique socks each month. If you pay for a full year upfront they will throw in a extra pair, that means you get 13 different socks over a years time. This is huge for the sock connoisseur! Side Note: A portion of their proceeds goes to a charity to prepare youth for the job market! What an amazing way to give back to help our youth and our country's job market! 





The Product: I have to say upon receiving the socks it is definitely professionally packaged. You can tell they took time to make sure the purchaser feels like they are receiving a excellent product. But the biggest "wow" you find next is when you feel that Pima Cotton material; you know the socks are going to wear well and feel very comfortable on. One detail I like is that the socks are not too thick so it is a comfortable pair of socks to wear with many types of shoes and can be worn the majority of the year. This is a plus down here in the South because we don't have too many months of very cold weather. 




The Overall Experience: All in all I would have to say Soul Socks is a great company with an even more amazing mission and of course they sell an EXCELLENT pair of socks. With it's light weight, unique designs and simple monthly sock program I would say Soul Socks should be a staple in every dapper gentleman's sock collection. Soul Socks is definitely "Sir Byron APPROVED"

Guest post from The Language of Yolande: "Fall Forward"

Monday, August 26, 2013

As we prepare for some of the hottest weather of the summer, retailers are preparing for fall. July is the start of fall fashion. To stay ahead of the game, check out the trend for the fall.

Feminine Suiting

After seasons of very feminine and overly sexy clothing, fashion is now moving to a more masculine look. What perfect way to create this look than using classic menswear fabrics. Although the looks are becoming more masculine, there is still a feminine touch here and there.

Tomboy Chic

Inspired by street fashion, designers have taken the tomboy chic look into the fall. This look is achieved by pairing classic school boy pieces with chic feminine pieces.
J. Crew and Phillip Lim


Below the Knee


As we know in gravity, what goes up must come down. This rule can easily be applied to fashion. After seasons of the mini skirt, skirts that are below the knee were ruling the fall 2013 runways.
Celine and Oscar de la Renta

More is Better

Oversized coats were all over the runways for the fall. The masculine movement also influences this trend. Designer used classic menswear coats, such as the peacoat, and gave them a twist.
Chanel and Trussardi

Mix and Mingle

For the spring/summer trends, we saw a mix of prints, prints, and more prints. Well no worries that continues in the fall! 
J. Crew and Diane Von Furstenberg

Seeing Clearly

Another trend that continues from spring/summer trends is crystal jewelry. This trend adds a pop of glam to any look. 
Balmain and Dries Von Noten

Sky High

With clothing women’s clothing becoming more masculine, a thigh high boot is a perfect way to bring sexy to an outfit.
Phillip Lim and Tom Ford
