    Thoughts on black overcoat

    I wrote about overcoats and listed four or five...they might be good considerations for you. In general, however, a gray or navy coat might be more versatile than a black one, though back is clearly dressier. http://www.savoirvivreny.com/2007/10...r-topcoat.html

    V Neck Sweater

    V-neck sweaters are more much chic and style-forward than crewnecks, which I hardly ever wear these days. They look great when you wear a dress shirt under them unbuttoned at the top so the collar is spread. It's always a fail-safe look.

    Is there a decent Verizon cell phone?

    If you can wait until November, they are coming out with a touch screen LG that looks like the ugly cousin of the Prada Phone. There is a story on men.style.com about it.

    Gucci loafers - Opinions?

    Those are rather hideous. I would recommend a pair with a bamboo or horsebit piece on the front like this: http://www.bluefly.com/pages/product...&Nu=Product+ID

    Zara outerwear?

    Don't buy them, I bought one when I was living in France and they not only have a strange fit, but are of poor quality. Two weeks after I bought it, the front buttons started falling off, something I found to be persistent in everything I tried from there. Instead, check out selections from J...

    I need your advice on these Moccasins

    Moccasins are definitely 'in' for this fall/winter, though I don't think that the variety you bought are necessarily acceptable for outside wear. Generally, I think they are a really great shoe and a more comfortable alternative to a loafer or a lace-up. I wrote about moccasins on SavoirVivre...

    Honeymoon in London, Paris, Rome advice

    In Paris, eat at the Maison Blanche. Their website is: http://www.maison-blanche.fr/ and it's fabulous. It has amazing view of the Seine and Paris at night so it's very romantic. Also, Kong (http://www.kong.fr) is another great one. I spent New Year's there last year and it's just one of the...

    Vitamin Water.. yay or nay?

    I don't know about the actual health benefits (it's probably a gimmick), but as a flavored water, it's quite good. My favorites are the Energy and the Focus. SavoirVivre New York

    I need some Guido Glasses

    Ferragamo makes a pair of horn rimmed glasses like that. You can get them at Lenscrafters I believe depending upon where you are. SavoirVivre New York

    what kind of belt for a job interview?

    An either black or brown belt, depending upon your shoes and the pants. Your buckle should be simple but elegant. I wrote a post about belts at http://www.savoirvivreny.com/2007/09/belts.html

    Fur coats for men - do or don't?

    Instead of a fur coat, go with fur accents like the jackets that Gucci showed for his season. I have a link here: http://www.savoirvivreny.com/2007/08...trends_22.html

    watches

    I just wrote a post about Budget Watches! All of them were under $400, though a few under $250. http://www.savoirvivreny.com/2007/09/watches.html There are definitely a lot of options for stylish watches under $250. Amazon is actually a great place to look.
