Summer is fast approaching and like frozen margaritas and BBQs in the yard, sunglasses are ubiquitous. Invest in a good one and it will serve you well for years to come. I am digging this aviator-influenced pair from Dolce & Gabbana.

The lightweight acetate frames means comfort when you have it on throughout the day and the great thin shape gives a sleek, stylish look that won't go ignored in the best months of the year.

Available in 2 colors - black-grey and havana-brown; both wonderful colors. The black is a classic option while the brown will provide a mod vibe that will sync with your summer wardrobe.

I am digging this navy silk number- the soft pure silk will be a breeze to wear which means you can have this on with a light shirt or tee in the summer and as one of the multiple layers in the winter.

The slight sheer along with the classic contrast trims go flawlessly together providing a sleek silhouette that shows off itself. The dark navy shade is great for every season and will remaining viable for years and years to come.

Here at Style Flavors, we appreciate exquisite pieces that stand out and make great statements. However, sometimes too much is really too much.

Just like this tuxedo jacket from Dolce & Gabanna. This jacket with its hand painted black and white floral motif would be beautiful if it were on canvas. But on a tuxedo jacket? It just looks like an overkill. I can't imagine where you would wear this to except to an Asian wedding where it will be appreciated by some and might just get you on the best dressed list for the night. But it's not going to get you any style points.

How much mileage can you possibly get out of a piece like this? You wear it once and everyone will remember it and if you keep wearing it, it stops becoming a novelty and starts being an eyesore.

And in these times, do you really want such pieces? Find this for US$4,995 at Bergdorf Goodman.   

There are some colors that work universally on most everyone - black, white, blue and some other colors that work best on some individuals - green, pink. Then there are colors that I don't think will flatter anyone like camel and mustard.

Camel and mustard tone pieces invoke a vibe of cheap, tacky and ill-fitting. This piece from Dolce & Gabanna does just that. The color itself is a big turn off and given what this coat was made for (and the season it was made to be worn), it is also extremely unflattering.

The lamb shearling trim is nice luxurious touch but the love ends there. And at US$2084.21, there are a lot of other things/services that can be bought that will evoke more pleasure than this ever would.

I am a huge fan of layering and as such, winter is my favorite season after summer. And unlike summer, I don't have to think about sweating under my layers. An overcoat adds a dash of formality to your already dapper suit and also your casual shirt and jeans combo.

This sleek black overcoat from Dolce & Gabanna will be good company in your winter wardrobe. I am loving its clean detailed lines and although in general, I do not like loud details - I find that the asymmetric zip complements the overall quiet tone of this coat. 

I am also a fan of its welt chest pockets - a chic way to keep your hands toasty. The open spread collar gives a sophisticated tailored look and I personally like it spreads open to reveal a hint of your shirt underneath. A great way to play with colors.
