Men's United Colors of Benetton Winter 2010

For those of you who have never heard of United Colors of Benetton, you are missing out. This clothing label is huge in Europe, but does not have the same presence here in the states. There are only a few stores in New York City and that is about it. There are not many online retail options for the brand in USA either. Which leads to me to pose the question: Does anyone know of an online retailer with a selection of men's clothing from United Colors of Benetton that ships to the USA? Regardless, we love some of the looks from the United Colors of Benetton men's collection.

These looks are perfect examples of how to layer during the colder months and how to make neutral colors make bold statements. Bold, vibrant colors are great, but in moderation. If you are going to wear a strong color, choose one piece of clothing to do it in. While there are definitely exceptions to this rule, it is a good one to follow most of the time, especially during the winter time. During the spring and summer you can have a bit more fun with color, but neutrals are your friends at other times of the month. I am always reminded of a girl I went to school with who loved to dress up in the zaniest colors possible. It was cute the first couple of times, and then obnoxious. Save yourself the embarrassment of being the loud, crazy dresser. Trying new fashions already sets you apart. Wearing ridiculous colors all the time is just going to give you a lot of odd looks. If you're into that type of thing, go for it. In seriousness, learn to embrace some neutrals, but like anything - don't over do it. Just promise not to be that crazy guy who always looks like he is trying to hard.
