Trend Tip – Eco-Friendly Tees – Volcom Organic Shirts

Being green is the new black. So get on board and get yourself into an environmentally friendly shirt. Jamie Lynn designed the art for the Volcom Playing V.Co-Logical T-Shirt. Made from 100% organic cotton, this t-shirt goes a step further and uses a low impact screen printing process to stamp the graphic.

The Volcom Coney Island Shirt is cute enough that you don’t need to convince yourself you’re contributing to a good cause to buy it. Consider it a double bonus. This short sleeve henley is made from super soft organic cotton and 1% of the sales go to 1% for the Planet (a global movement that donates to environmental organizations worldwide).

The math is simple- you buy, the earth wins. Shop Men’s Eco-Friendly Clothing and Women’s Eco-Friendly Clothing now.

Trend Tip – Watches are the New Man Jewelry – Nixon Sultan Watch

John — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:10:15 +0000

So, you’re not tough enough to wear a grill. That’s okay, because Nixon and Vestal have been working hard to create timepieces that emanate just as much power and prestige. With watches right now, bigger is better. Vestal puts this to proof with the Vestal Plexi Watch. Available with an acetate band or classic leather, the Plexi’s face is big enough to tell time from 10 feet away. Nixon is keeping things fresh with their new Gunmetal color collection. Check out their new style the Nixon Sultan Watch in gunmetal along with updated favorites, the Nixon Cannon and the Nixon District.

Trend Tip – There’s a Reason Plaid Rhymes with Rad – Volcom Edison Shorts

John — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:18:22 +0000

… because it is. Windowpane, gingham, tartan, houndstooth, madras. I’m pretty sure that Webster’s could publish a dictionary about all the different styles of plaids and I would still be confused. If you need to get plaid, check out these styles:: Nike 6.0 Saloon Shirt, Volcom Edison Shorts, Liquid Force Plaidskiis Boardshorts, and O’Neill Collins Boardshorts. Bottom line:: plaid is rad. Wear it or be lame.

Trend Tip – Rock the Logo – Billabong Sansol T-Shirt

John — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:25:55 +0000

For awhile we all seemed to be ashamed to wear our favorite logos loud and proud. It’s time to get your brand pride back and wear your logo with confidence. We’re seeing vintage throwback logos coming back with a vengence from brands like Billabong, Quiksilver, and O’Neill. Check out the Billabong Sansol T-Shirt with their 80′s beach inspired graphic and the Volcom Pistol Sheer Tee with one of the original Volcom logos.

Trend Tip – Neon is your Friend – Billabong Shockwave Boardshorts

John — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 23:31:18 +0000

Almost as effective as whitening your teeth, neon colored clothing will definitely brighten your look. If you’re not willing to commit to a whole new wardrobe of day glow, try popping some electric hues in your boardshorts. We especially like the Billabong Shockwave Boardshorts (made out of eco-friendly polyester) and the Billabong Rising Sun Boardshorts (with the crazy all over Parrot print). For the ladies, we’re liking the geo printed Billabong Tango Boardshorts (in electric blue and lime) and the Hurley Puerto Rica Boardshorts (with pop plaid).
