Diesel Summer Style Guide

Leave a comment

If you’ve been rockin’ with Dress Code for a while now or you happened to read our Diesel Guide, you know that Diesel is one of our “staff favorites” for denim. It’s a tad hot here in Tucson (as well as most places) to be wearing jeans right now, so I wanted to showcase some new Diesel products currently in stock for the summer. We’ve got a ton of new shirts and accessories, so let’s take a look..

Sonora Woven Button-Up

For those rare, cool summer nights, this “Sonora” woven Button-Up is a perfect top layer for a night on the town or a nice dinner with your lady. Constructed using a nice thin and airy woven linen, this shirt gives you the denim appearance without the denim weight, while keeping you cool and keeping your layer game on point. Whether worn buttoned up or open paired with a plain white tee, this is a closet staple for all Diesel fans.

T-Erato Henley

If you’re more of just a t-shirt and jeans type of guy, the T-Erato Henley will give you all the qualities of your ratty University tees without the look of a plain t-shirt (or the stench) and also can usually be an acceptable alternative to collared shirts for your nights on the town. This super soft cotton blend tee gives you a stylish look without making you feel too “dressed up”. 

So now that you’ve got an outfit somewhat formulated, you’ll need an accessory or two to really set off your look. Let’s check out some cool Diesel accessories that work well with this outfit we got started.

DZ7301 Watch

The Diesel DZ7301 watch has a very stylish design, giving the piece maximum wear-versatility. With the style of the band resembling a heavy metal watch, this piece is perfect to be worn as a daily time keeper or can be your go-to watch for special occasions. The teal accented movements compliment the all Black face nicely and really make the white backlit number pop.

DZ1631 Watch

For the fellas that deem themselves a little more classy, the DZ1631 is the perfect time piece to spice up your wrist game this summer. The sleek stainless silver housing gives it just enough flash without looking too big on your wrist, while the classic brown leather band gives the watch its’ classic look. The bold block lines and numbering on the dial put the finishing touches on this classic watch from Diesel. Who knew Diesel could make minimalism look so good?

New at Dress Code: Stussy S/S 2014

Leave a comment

Stussy’s new summer pieces have arrived at Dress Code just in time for that summer trip you’re planning or that big barbecue you have coming up. I’m seein a lot of classic Stussy stock logo designs in the likes of tanks and tees this season with a few cut n sew pieces thrown in the mix. On top of their summer garments, four models from the new Stussy eyewear collection came in as well. The collection uses classic silhouettes such as wayfarers, giving them their own modern, less-circular twist of design. I’m going to focus on Stussy’s eyewear and non stock logo garments since the tour tees and stock logos are pretty well recognized already. So, let’s take a look…

Zoey

Stylin’ Socks

Leave a comment

Socks have transformed from a basic article of clothing worn primarily for warmth and hygiene, now into a commodity, or collector’s item if you will, among the self-deemed stylish population of the world. With an endless array of colors, patterns, as well as styles of socks, I’m willing to bet this is a “trend” that will never end. With that being said, I’ve gathered up all the new socks at Dress Code and created this nice sale guide for you guys. Won’t be showing you all of them since there’s currently over 120 different pairs in stock from all different brands. So start emptying out your over flowing drawer of ratty, holey socks and check this out.

Stance

Stance has become one of the number one retailers for all your sock needs whether it be style, warmth, or performance socks offered in a wide range of sizes. Not to mention they just launched a basketball specific line with rubber coating to help keep your foot in place in your shoes.

HUF

It’s no secret that HUF socks are currently hot items to have for just about any age or demographic. You can walk around the mall and see a 13 year old girl with plantlife socks walking by and see a grown man over his 30′s with her exact pair on all in the same trip. Enjoy!

Rebel8

Rebel8 has really stepped it up with all their garments lately in my opinion. If you’re already familiar with Rebel8, I’m sure you would agree that just the variety of socks alone is impressive. Multiple colorways in almost every pair they produced this season. Don’t sleep.

New at Dress Code: Akomplice

Leave a comment

We just got some new pieces from Akomplice’s “For the Love” summer collection. Akomplice has continued dabbling in the sublimation world, bringing us a lot of unique sublimated designs for the majority of their tees and tanks this season. I’m probably going to need to add a few pieces to my closet and I’m sure you will too, so let’s get into it before this collection sells out.

Blue Dialation Tank

First up  we’ve got a tank top from Akomplice’s “Blue Dialation” Series. A nice single-color tye dye for the summertime. Simple and Clean.

Water Love Tank

This second tank top is one of Akomplice’s sublimated designs, featuring a cool image of sun light reflecting off of water. Perfect for pool parties and all other aquatic outings.

Evolve Logo Tank

Akomplice’s signature logo screen-printed in grey on a clean, black cotton tank, to make up their “Evolve” tank. A simple reminder that change isn’t a bad thing.

Love Momentum Tee

Thought I’d start off with a non-sublimated tee. This is the “Love Momentum” Tee featuring a detailed image of a drop of water accompanied the signature Akomplice type logo as well as company slogan below it.

Glacier Tee

This one is probably my favorite out of all the sublimated tees. Reminiscent of my home in Alaska, this is the Glacier tee featuring a vivid photograph of a first person view from on top a glacier. Stay cool this summer with ease.

Birds Heaven Tee

This “Bird’s Heaven” Tee is literally just that. Cool sublimated photo of seagulls enjoying someones spilled french fries. What more could a bird want?

Naturism Tee

This “Naturism” tee has brought a lot of attention to Akomplice this season. I’m sure you can see why. Sublimated photo of some ladies enjoying a summer swim. Just so happened it was all their birthday.

Blue Shades of Clouds Tee

Inspired by the movie “Truman” this “Blue Shade of Clouds” tee is a perfect shirt for a nice summer day. 

Ms. Cleo Tee

And last but not least we have Ms. Cleo! Dial now to see what she’s up to these days. (Seriously though). 1-877-281-5477
