It wasn't long ago I was talking about Hunter Wellingtons to a style-conscious reader. Turns out today that Men.Style.com has an interesting take on men at the Glastonbury Festival who are wearing Wellies, and were wearing them well. The British staple footwear isn't as difficult to pull off as one might think.
"Wellies" were first made by the company Aigle in the 1800s, and they still make great boots today, in various fashions. You can find many closely-related Wellies across the UK and here in the States, where they'll cost you a bit over $100.
If you buy some, or head to next year's Glasto Fest, first be sure to check out some of the interesting looks.
Stile recently read Daniel Billet's sometimes-right, sometimes-wrong style column on About.com. His most recent post lists fall must-have accessories, and he's partly right (again). His recommendations include: a scarf, leather gloves, sunglasses, umbrella... Read More Topics:

You wouldn't guess it from the shot above, but this new kid on the block — no, it's not Franz Ferdinand — in the cycling world has some cool gear (no, they don't make tweed or British cycling outfits, much to my dismay). They do, however,... Read More Topics:

We all need a good drink once and a while. Mine as of late has been either Jameson and Coke or a Manhattan. It depends on the doldrums, I suppose. Did Arsenal loose? In that case I may drink straight vodka. Did a possible future ex-Mrs. Coyote walk... Read More Topics:

Paul Newman was at one time (for a long time) the ultimate guy's guy. Sure you can make the argument that Steve McQueen had that title locked since 1960's The Magnificent Seven, but what McQueen did with fierceness, Newman did with his piercing... Read More Topics:

Gone are the days of needing to have great ties and fifteen suits in varying shades of blues and grey. I mean, this isn't the 1960s and you're not drinking a high-ball at work. (Actually, if you are, toss one back for me, please.) The new man of style... Read More
Nearly every gal Stile has ever dated uses a Blackberry. Call me superstitious, but if I find one that uses an iPhone, she's finished. After all, it's nice to show off my iPod-ish features. That is until her "I can surf the web faster than you"... Read More Topics:

Stile's been on about a number on things lately. Namely, personal style. You know, "owning it." That's important whether you're in Grenwich Village, New York or Toledo, Ohio. As you know, fashion photographer/blogger Scott Schuman (a.k.a.... Read More Topics:

In one of many brave moves Stile has made in the last month (least of all, acquiescing to save the private jet only for journeys of more than 36 hours) none were as surprising as ditching the vodka martini or Jameson and Coke last night for a bottle... Read More Topics:

The new Talisker. Stylish luxury living at its finest. If you're like me, you need a place to take the ladies. That's where this place comes into play. Nestled on 10,000-acres of prime land in the Wasatch mountain range in historic Park City, Utah,... Read More Topics:
