Velvet Slippers | TRENDS BRO

You know what’s cool about laces? Nothing. Trick question. It’s all about the velvet slipper.

The vizzy slizzy. From Stubbs & Wooten, to Del Toro Shoes, to Jimmy Choo. Elegant “screw-you” joints to go with your Brioni pajamas that get no use because you #never #sleep. Haircalf camo beasties for combating herbs in derbies. These ones say “New York” even though you spend your winters in Buenos Aires. The Argentines know them some slippers.

Vizzy slizzies. Do we wear ‘em ’cause we’re fly? Or are they fly ’cause we wear ‘em? Chicken and the egg.

#Overeasy.

Colored Suits :: Jamie Foxx & Ryan Gosling

Hey girl, we saw these photos of Ryan Gosling in an ochre, three piece Gucci suit at last night's Gangster Squad premiere, and we just had to show you. You see, it's a really tough shade to pull off, and colorful suits can go so wrong. But by keeping the look tailored, and by not shying away from bold footwear (check out those perforated loafers!) he totally pulls it off, don't you think?

Speaking of Jamie Foxx.........

As awesome as Kerry looked, it was Jamie Foxx who was turning heads this time around as he accompanied Kerry on the carpet in a purple Ozwald Boateng suit that he color blocked with a turquoise shirt and black tie. There aren’t too many people who could pull that suit off. Thumbs up!

GQ's 25 Most Fashionable Men of 2012 [List+Pics]

Whether it was athletes stepping up their game off the field, rappers saying goodbye to gaudy excess, or actors actually giving a shit, 2012 was the year famous guys finally got serious about taking risks and looking good. These are best-dressed gents we saw on every red carpet, big event, and beyond this year ending today with the five men who stood stylishly above the rest.

25. Frank Ocean

2012 was all about Ocean coming into his own as an artist. And when it came to dressing, the singer carved out a niche by mixing high-end goods with streetwear in visually interesting combos, usually finished off with a pair of old-school Vans.

24. Russell Westbrook
23. Wes Anderson
22. Archer

21. A$AP Rocky

There's a reason rappers and Rick Owens have been mentioned together this year, and that's all thanks to A$AP. The fashion-forward musician wears Margiela and Balmain with ease, but is never flashy with it. Case in point? Showing up to the more-is-more BET Awards in a slick, understated black rig.

20. Adam Levine

2012 was the year Adam Levine quit dressing like a Mad Max extra and started looking like the wealthy rock star turned jack-of-all-trades he actually is.

19. Yasiin Bey (Mos Def)
18. Andrew Garfield
17. Ryan Gosling
16. Andy Cohen

15. Jay-Z

Seated firmly on the throne, Jay-Z focused on his other big business ventures in 2012, which meant a wardrobe that consistently crossed over from black tie to cool streetwear and back again. The mogul even ditched blue jeans all together, opting instead for an arsenal of coated denim five-pockets and his beloved Baldwin camos, proving serious and stylish are not mutually exclusive.

14. Armie Hammer
13. Matt Lauer
12. Dwayne Wade
11. Matt Bomer

10. Nick Jonas

Older brother Joe may be the more adventurous one when it comes to fashion, but this year Nick earned our praises with a steady showing of dressed-up and -down looks that impressively walked the line between youthful and refined.

9. Justin Theroux
8. Tyson Chandler
7. Joseph Gordon-Levitt

6. Rob Pattinson

Pattinson's year was spent crisscrossing the globe in promotion of three flicks, giving the actor plenty of opportunities to break out his preferred Gucci suits, which he did in rapid, colorful succession. But it's not just tonal suit and shirt pairings the now former vampire got right; his grunge 2.0 getups have us wondering how much flannel we'll see on the Fall '13 runways.

5. Ewan McGregor
4. Bruno Mars
3. David Beckham
2. Zac Efron

1. Daniel Craig

Like the double-0 agent he plays on the big screen, Daniel Craig's go-to is a perfectly cut Tom Ford suit that frankly makes other famous guys look like they've never heard of a tailor. But the actor's hardly just a mannequin for his favorite designer's wares, and 2012 saw Craig expanding his sartorial horizons into new GQ-approved areas, whether it be adopting the brown suit, playing with unconventional shirt and tie combos, or just saying "eff it" and showing up to a premiere in some eye-grabbing Nikes.

Jordan 6-17-23 “College Blue”

The Jordan 6-17-23 garnered a lot of negative attention when it first released; however, due to the superb colorways (“Aqua”, “Carmine”), many of you have given it a second chance. The Jordan 6-17-23 “College Blue” is the next colorway of this model to release. It features a Washington Wizards-esque color scheme thanks to the multiple college blue hints seen on the sole, toe cap, tongue and heel. White leather makes up the majority of the upper, and it complimented with a metallic silver mid-sole.

Air Jordan "Wolf Grey" 5 V Retro - 5/14/11

One of the most anticipated release for the Jordan 5's 2011 release, the "Wolf Grey" is slated for a May 14, 2011, release from Wish. Built in a wolf grey colored tumbled nubuck, these shoes are super clean! They will be retailing for $150.

One of the most heralded models of the entire Air Jordan line is the Air Jordan V (5). While there have been numerous retros over the years, including the CDP pack’s inclusion of the white, red, and black model, this Wolf Grey model has a lot of sneaker fans excited. With rumors of a forthcoming pack with the “Laney” and “Grape” colorways, this Wolf Grey model, as the detailed shots show, is a neck-snapper that will satiate the hungry Air Jordan V-seekers.

Follow the jump for a detailed look!

Air Jordan V (GS) Black/Alarming Red

I'm a fan of this "alarming red" color Jordan Brand has been using on the GS shoes. First the white cement/alarming 3's, and now these 5's. It's rare that GS based shoes look good, so this is a definite pickup ladies. Check out more photos after the jump.

UPDATE: **If you can't wait to get your hands on these, head over to Sneakerstuff and pick up a pair for $170**
