4 WAYS TO STYLE THE COLE HAAN ZEROGRAND

If you have been following our in-depth look at the Cole Haan ZeroGrand colorways, then you are already well aware of the technology that has gone into making it one of most versatile shoes out there. For everyone else, the Cole Haan ZeroGrand is, in essence, the perfect blend of fashion and function: a brogue silhouette is fused with a running shoe sole to deliver unparalleled comfort and ride in the most demanding of situations. In and out of the office, the ZeroGrand will power you through your busy day as well as it does for a casual outing. To provide a bit of fashion inspiration on how you can style the Cole Haan ZeroGrand shoes, we present four outfits suitable for almost any gentleman.

The Summer Weekender

Casual summer days are made for feeling comfortable and the ZeroGrand fits right in. Cole Haan styled a simple summertime outfit consisting of nautical stripes and khaki shorts for the guy who takes it easy. Go sock-less with ZeroGrand shoes for a great “no-touch” experience.

The 21st Century Greaser

Whoever says the ZeroGrand only suits business attire is well off. Paired with a leather motorcycle jacket and selvedge jeans is one of our favorite looks. We love the red beanie to complete the look.

The Classics

Denim Jacket? Check. White t-shirt? Check. Black Jeans? Check. Classic black ZeroGrands pair well with any combination of garments. Cole Haan reminds us to show off your relaxed side with this staple look this fall.

The Dapper Gentleman

With fall steadily approaching, Cole Haan concocted an autumnal outfit with a blue pair of ZeroGrand shoes. A leather belt, denim jeans and a navy campaign hat showcase this shoe’s fashion forward versatility.

COS Autumn/Winter 2014 Campaign

H&M sister brand COS has revealed it took inspiration from nature when compiling its latest menswear campaign.

The Swedish retailer has maintained its minimalist approach for AW14, with earthy tones such as blue, green, mustard yellow and beige applied to bomber jackets, slouched trousers and sports sweatshirts.

Newly released images show models Robin Ahrens and Tidiou M’Bay in an outdoor setting, wearing chunky knitwear and thick Sherpa fleece, which aim to give the collection a wintery feel and nod to the brand’s Scandinavian roots.

COS revealed its full AW14 collection in a lookbook last month. The update further highlights the soft tailoring and plain basics in the range, due out next month.

The young label, which stands for ‘Collection of Style’, launched in 2007 as a luxury fascia of high street chain H&M.

It has since opened a number of stores worldwide, including outlets on London’s Regent Street, Kings Road and in Covent Garden.

The COS autumn/winter 2014 campaign will debut as part of the brand’s in-house magazine, which drops on 15th August, with the collection scheduled to follow in stores and online from August 22.

Despite being owned by the budget fast fashion retailer, COS carries higher price points due its premium positioning. Upcoming tags have been confirmed to start at £45.

This instantly classic is finished off with Packers branding to the taping and swing-tag with a US flag decal to the heel and tonal toggle to the lacing system.

The collaboration is made complete by the insoles and packaging which emulate the colours and graphics of the iconic ‘Snow Beach’ jacket whilst the promotional video features Lo Head and legendary music producer Just Blaze working in his studio wearing the classic jacket to the soundtrack of Gladys Knight’s ‘The Way We Were’ which was sampled by Wu-Tang Clan for their seminal hit.
