Adam Silberman
men's buyer, Ma Jolie
2583 N. Downer Ave.
(414) 961-8200
Bayshore Town Center, 5800 N. Bayshore Dr., Ste. B120
(414) 961-8210
What they carry
Casual, fashion-forward lines like Buffalo and Diesel, preppy basics by Penguin, plus outerwear, denim, hoodies and more. Silberman notes the shop's look is especially for Milwaukee customers without "going overboard on price or bringing in something Midwesterners aren't ready for."
Fall forecast
Outerwear. Try out a military style jacket or a more traditionally cut jacket. Diesel and triple 5 soul are two of the shop's best-selling brands, both of which offer stepped-up versions of casual outerwear. Spiewak and Diesel are two other hot brands that will offer some great options, says Silberman. $100-$220.
Layering. Hoodies, track jackets, cardigans-take your pick, guys. It'll be easy to add depth and interest to an outfit by layering any of these pieces over a T-shirt or casual dress shirt, or under a blazer. New this season will be rich colors and innovative patterns. "They all feel great on, not the itchy sweater your aunt gave you." $65-$150.
T-shirts. When is a T-shirt not in? Forget a boring old white tee and add personality with any of the shop's graphic tees-eighties themes and streetwear logos will do the trick. FUN, Heavy Rotation, Kindred and Diesel T-shirts, $26-$60.
What he's picking up
Shades of Greige navy peacoat. One of the new lines the shop will be carrying, Silberman will be sporting a timeless classic. $175.
A T-shirt or accessory from FUN. "[It's] a network of artists from around the world based out of California. They offer wallets, Ts and belt buckles." $26.
Diesel "Zatiny" jean. This slim-fitting bootcut jean with a slightly distressed dark wash has an enduring look. "It's a bit smaller than the Zathan cut that Diesel customers have been buying for years," says Silberman. $180.

I completely agreee with "kt!" You don't HAVE to spend a lot of money on clothes to feel confident, be successful, look good, etc., HOWEVER there is something to be said for QUALITY which most often comes with a price AND longevity! We should be relieved that places like Aala Reed, Moda3, and MaJolie exist to finally get rid of Mke's bad reputation of over-weight, beer-guzzling, mullet-wearing, stuck-in-the-80's-acid-wash-denim "men," and replace them with more fashionably sexy guys like "KT!" Keep reading your fashion magazines fellas -- the women of Milwaukee aren't stopping you!!!

I guess they're trying to tell us here that the clothes make the man. WRONG!! A real man makes the clothes. Sure, every man should own a nice suit, but jeans and a t-shirt are a mans uniform. No need to spend $300 on jeans either. You can rock a pair of Levis from Kohls for about $30 and be just as attractive to women as the metro-sexual in the jeans that cost 10 times more.

If you wear those jeans, you better have thick skin or poor hearing.
