DISCLAIMER: While all of the following opinions and configurations are my own and the thought bubble(s) of both myself (Joseph Boyer) and Eonlyfe.com. It is important for any reader to know that this specific post is for a small contest being run by Farfetch.com and being participated in by EonLyfe. There is no cash value but there is the potential for a small voucher to the companies digital store to be awarded.
Farfetch.com is a UK based digital boutique that offers clothes from some of the most luxurious and high quality designers around the world. Farfetch.com has recently launched a new ‘Style Hub’ in order to give their viewers even more access to style and the curation of their looks. I have decided to take part in their new project, ‘The Tie Edit’ and curate a few outfits of my own; using of course a single tie as the inspiration for all of my looks!
The tie that I’ve chosen for this project is the Dolce & Gabbana classic red silk 
tie. This might seem like a boring choice to some but I’ll explain my reasoning. Ties are a staple piece of most professional men’s outfits. They are easy to use, versatile and if done correctly – eye catching. This tie does just that.
The D&G red silk is classic and
versatile. The red is simple yet eye catching; the eye of the beholder satisfied by the sheen and smoothness of the silk. Red is also a power color, a choice perfect for any man at an event or at work. It is confidence incarnate.
My first curated outfit is for work. It involves the D&G red silk tie, the Givenchy wide leg trousers, Church’s black classic oxford shoes and the D&G classic white shirt. This is a classic and simple outfit that any guy can do at the office and with a simple jacket can also be used for a lunch meeting. Now, most people would choose a straight leg trouser instead of a wide leg trouser but I feel like the wide leg is more in fashion.
The 70’s has made its way back onto the fashion scene and the wide leg trousers are definitely an ‘in’ thing right now. The classic oxford is a simple yet on trend choice. It is appealing to the eye and the oxford never goes out of style. It is also simple enough to be versatile for both work, lunch and a formal event.
My second outfit for Farfetch.com is a little more versatile; think event or cocktail hour. The D&G red silk tie, the D&G black classic shirt, Church’s black classic oxford shoes and the black and grey Kenzo paneled tailored trousers. These trousers give a little bit of fun to a men’s outfit that might usually be missing. They’re simple yet interesting and they don’t take away from the magnificent color of the tie.
People will find you stylish and interesting but will appreciate how well tailored your look appears. Fall and winter are coming too so feel free to pair this look with the Etro geometric print coat for an added level of edge, or the D&G black military style coat to be fully on trend!
My final look for Farfetch.com is of course for a formal setting. Ties are a staple of any suited look and a dinner or formal occasion are where the suit shines. For my final formal look, I went with the D&G red silk tie, Church’s black classic oxford shoe, D&G classic white shirt and the Saint Laurent black two-piece dinner suit. Saint Laurent is a beautiful brand that creates stunning men’s clothing. The suit is perfectly crafted for a man’s body, pleasing lines and perfect stitching details; the quintessential men’s dinner suit.
The lines on the jacket and the lapels will lead the eye straight to the beauty of the red silk tie from D&G and the classic look being taken on by the shirt and shoes will just add to the wearers sophistication. If you’re looking for a little jewelry to go with your dinner/event outfit I have two recommendations. To continue with the classic look, I would recommend the Bulgari ‘Diagono’ analog watch. Or, if you’re feeling a little edgy that night try sharpening your look with the Vivienne Westwood ‘Armour’ ring. Either way you’ll be the best dressed man in the room!

part of a man’s wardrobe. I’m writing this post because I’ve had several guy friends tell me that they find it hard to really up their style. I believe men find it really difficult to come up with outfits because we tend to have less options than women when it comes to what we can wear on a daily basis. It always ends up being pants, t-shirt, sneakers, over and over again. And, if you work in a field outside of fashion, blogging, or something similar then your outfit choices are even more narrowed. Usually a daily suit, that tends to be brown, navy, or charcoal colored.
two for $10 deals going on at the store and their socks come in multiple colors and styles; argyle, polka dots, stripes, and many more. I get complimented all the time for my socks, and they’re extremely easy to slip into any outfit I wear that day, whether it be a suit, business casual, or even just jeans with a t-shirt if I’m going to meet a friend. The next time you take a trip to the mall, or you’re sitting online shopping make sure you check out the men’s sock collection, you might be pleasantly surprised with what you

into luxury buying, mostly because I can’t afford it, but also because I feel bad about using the items that I get. I wonder sometimes if it’s just because I’m a guy and I’m used to buying things to use and use until they’re worn out, not just to have. Also, I don’t find it that fun to shop in luxury stores, like I’m constantly being judged even if I can afford whatever I’m looking at. I enjoy going into stores like T.J. Maxx and rummaging around until I find something that I really love. I think it gives me more joy and and a much bigger thrill.
that happens in Philadelphia. It allows the LGBT community to come out (no pun intended) and socialize, drink, and experience a new venue in the city. This week we went to The Little Lion restaurant on Chestnut Street. And I have to tell you, it was fabulous.
few appetizers; a pimento cheese crustini, celery soup shooters, and barbecue chicken sliders with pickles and Cole slaw. Everything was absolutely delicious, and I spent the night sipping my sangria and trying to fill up on appetizers. Several friends and I have already made plans to go back for an actual sit down dinner. The restaurant is just another part of the evolution that Philadelphia’s Old City has been going through, and from what I can tell you, it’s certainly a welcome addition. I cannot wait to return and start tasting my way through the normal menu!
avel, and I don’t get to do it as often as I’d like; perils of being a broke college kid and all. However, whenever I do travel, especially to NYC, I ALWAYS use the Booking.com app. It’s extremely user friendly. With a great and simple search bar, multiple menus, the ability to change both language and currency, and much more. The app, like it’s site, has a very succinct filters bar and Booking.com always shows you the best deal all over the area that you’re looking. Whenever I’m traveling to NYC for fashion week or just to see friends I always use the app to find the best deal right away. Funny story, when I was in NYC for fashion week last month, I found out on the ride up that staying with a friend for my first night had fallen through. I pulled the app right up on my phone and found a really great/affordable hotel that I booked right then; only two hours from arrival time, in the middle of the night, with no credit card information necessary! Plus, when you’re looking at the hotels the app shows you a bunch of high definition photos that are very simple to scroll through. As far as I’m concerned, everything about this app is user friendly. My favorite kind!
downloaded this app by accident one day when I was looking for something to help with all the acne that was showing in one of my photos. Turns out, it was one of the best mistakes I’ve ever made. I only have the free version of the app, so there are a few ads that will pop up while you’re using it, but I don’t tend to mind them. Once you choose a photo, either from your gallery, or because you decide to take one with camera right then and there, you have multiple options. You can do a full auto retouch to the picture, or you can narrow down what you want to focus on. Choices include skin, makeup, eye bags, teeth whitening, and blemishes. The app even goes so far as to correct your nose, face slimming, eyes, and smile! Now I’m not THAT into retouching my photos, I don’t really believe in that much editing, but I suppose it’s there if you want it. I’ve corrected plenty of photos I originally thought to trash because of this app. Especially if the lighting wasn’t very nice to my skin.
is recommendation sounds crazy, if not stupid, but I’m really serious about it. I might sound blasphemous as a blogger, and a millenial, but I really hate having to keep track of 100 different social media sites. Between Facebook, Twitter,
So I thought that for my first post I would just jump right in with something I’ve been obsessing over for the last couple of weeks- skincare. I know that it seems odd for men to freak out over their skin, but I personally believe that with the absence of makeup- men should be worrying about their skin; perhaps even more than women.
is a bit pricey, about $40 for a 1.7 ounce bottle; but you need only a minimal amount for the entire face. I can be kind of cheap when it comes to my purchases, and as a sometimes stereotypical guy I really appreciate the ability to be super low maintenance. I’m really loving the face butter right now, its a total obsession of mine. And it’s gotten me really interested in the skincare world.
