The Best Of: Tommy Ton

For those of you who don't know, Tommy Ton is the photoblogger behind the photoblog Jak & Jil. He's also known for his work with Style.com as their on the street fashion-eye... This year, Tommy hit the streets during the European fashion weeks and pulled through with some truly stellar looks, worn by some of Europe's finest. Here's a few of my favourites!

It seems that this season, chunky, beady bracelets are huge. And the more, the better! I'm not one for watches, but I love the look on the left. It looks like a necklace that's being worn as a bracelet. I know that I'll be taking one from this guy's books... This is great because you only need one article of jewelry, and it can look like you're wearing multiple pieces. For those of us who are lazy, it's a no-brainer. If you want to go for a more personalized look, it may be useful to combine multiple pieces of jewelry, like the guy in the middle has done. This is a great way to accent multiple pieces of clothing as well! Try to match a few of the bracelets with the other pieces that you're wearing (ie. one or a few for your top and one or a few for your bottoms). And last, but not least... The guy on the right has done an excellent job of keeping it simple and light, yet still having a nice bit of flare.

These two looks do an excellent job of showing the various ways to pull off some summer rolls. And as can be seen by the picture on the left, for those of you with tattoos, rolling your sleeves is a great way to show off a tattoo that's normally hidden. I'm totally in love with the pattern of this guy's shirt as well! It reminds me of grandma's wallpaper... But in a good way! Then there's the guy on the right. I don't think I would have liked the hat one its own, but it's great with this outfit!

Uhmmmm.... Can you say Stewardess? Okay, I know that 'stewardess' is so politically incorrect for this day and age, but so is wearing a bandana around your neck! While normally I would cringe at the thought, I have to say that this guy manages to pull it off. And he does so masterfully. I love that he's wearing it with a suit as well. Beautiful!






This suit is divine! The colour is absolutely marvelous, and I would wear it confidently anywhere in the summer. The belt that he's wearing really brings the whole thing together.









I simply had to save my favourite look for last. Absolutely everything about this look is amazing! He's sporting some nice summer rolls, which is showing off even more of his killer tattoo. Seriously! That thing looks like it has a life of its own. And those shoes... Maybe I'm starting to actually like animal print. It sure appeals to me here. I'm going to say these shoes are either McQueen's or hugely McQueen-inspired! Let's face it... What other designer is bold enough to try on this look (Okay, so maybe Comme des Garcons may try it, but they would fail.... Just like they do with everything else). McQueen, you will be forever missed. I needs to get me these shoes!
