Seeing Red

April 3rd, 2011 § Leave a Comment

Spring 2011 is the time for men to shake up their color pallet. If your wardrobe is full of neutral beige or brown, flat black, or dependable navy blue, then perhaps it’s time to add a splash of color.

The color red was spotted on several Men’s 2011 Spring runways and fashion experts have deemed it the “must have” accent color. While red is often considered a “power color” for women, on men it’s considered playful and shows a sense of updated style.

There are several shades to choose from, so if fire engine red feels like too bold a statement, then consider watermelon or red sorbet, which are softer.

The idea is not to dress head to toe in such an eye-catching color, but to add a single piece to an outfit that makes a statement. Pair a red polo, sport shirt or blazer to a coordinating neutral pant.

If adding vibrants into your wardrobe is new, then work your way into a comfort zone with color and start with a bright belt.

Are you ready to try red?

Karl Lagerfeld Takes the House of Chanel in a New Direction

March 14th, 2011 § 1 Comment

"In the beginning, I wanted to be an illustrator, a painter. I really did not know what I could do. Fashion had always interested me even before I knew it was called fashion. I loved the costumes of figures in paintings and around me."

Karl Lagerfeld’s vision for the Chanel autumn/winter 2011 ready-to-wear collection features black, black and more black, sprinkled with luxurious silvery gray fabrics. “We needed a return to purity after this onslaught of color,” explained the noted designer. “It’s very chic, all of this black.”

Models took to a runway surround by a smoldering volcanic landscape to show off the new collection. 

The classic “hounds tooth” pattern makes an appearance on several jackets and capes in comfortable and forgiving heavy knit fabrics. 

Tuesday’s collection featured a loose interpretation of Chanel’s standard flared jacket, which is now roomier and slanted down the front.  

Chunkier tops are paired with pencil thin pants and heavy ankle boots.

Women’s pant suits take on a life of their own in stunning silvery cloth with rolled hems in contrasting black.

Is Lagerfeld paying homage to Chanel with hints of the classic style or will this be too big a departure from those who know and love the brand?

Classic

March 8th, 2011 § Leave a Comment

“The word classic means something that is a perfect example of a particular style, something of lasting worth or with a timeless quality. The word can be an adjective (a classic car) or a noun (a classic of English literature). It denotes a particular quality in art, architecture, literature and other cultural artifacts. In commerce, products are named ‘classic’ to denote a long standing popular version or model, to distinguish it from a newer variety.

Since 1990 Tuttle has been committed to bringing you the very best of classic clothing from the finest clothiers and haberdasheries around the world. Each item we offer is meant to make you look as good as you feel while you enjoy living life to the fullest. We appreciate that times have changed, but the classics are here to stay, invoking memories of the past and creating a foundation for the future.

Tuttle’s Spring 2011 Catalog pays tribute to the “Classics” .

Sprinkled among the pages of exceptional clothing, designed for those who appreciate quality and style, are pictures of classics. As you shop the online catalog, take a stroll down memory lane. We sure did! Remember sailing adventures on long summer days.

Sales of the 1958 Corvette reached 9,168. Enough units were finally sold to turn a profit for Corvette for the first time. Extensive redesign for 1958 included new body panels, a new instrument panel, and new upholstery. 1958 Corvettes featured another first for any car, dual headlights on each fender and a 160MPH speedometer.

Riding in the car with the top down, the wind in your hair and Frankie Ford singing “Sea Cruise” on the radio.  Hours spent riding a horse, the smell of saddle soap and leather riding boots.

Our Spring 2011 catalog is designed to celebrate your memories and classic sense of style.

What are some of your favorite classics?
