One of street style photographer Tommy Ton’s strong suits is capturing the looks of fashion’s most stylishly dressed women up close and personal. His lens serves as a microscope of sorts, pulling out the details: the buttery hem of leather pants, the oil-slick iridescent sheen of a futuristic blouse, the spiky detail of a heel. Check out some highlights from this season.

When it comes to street style, the women and men of fashion week go toe-to-toe, neither party backing down for the sake of inferior accessories, less-than-magnficient shoes, or ho-hum handbags. Winter, however, can be the great equalizer, meaning that the decadent, impractical items get tucked away in favor of a more practical aesthetic, all in the name of warmth. But even when dressing for the cold, you don’t have to sacrifice your style. (You’ll see no puffy coats shot by the likes of Tommy Ton, after all). Here, the gentlemen of the menswear shows this January all sport gorgeous, textural pieces — blazers with rough edges, tough military coats, dandy scarves. It might not be the regalia we drool over from warmer months, but it will have to do.

Athletics had a heavy hand in fashion last year and we suspect it will continue throughout 2013. Letterman jackets, fashion sweats, high heels disguised as sneakers… the list goes on. But most of what we’ve previously seen merely hinted at sports. This fashionable lady takes it to the next level, donning a proper Chicago Bulls jacket — in nylon, no less. If you feel like staying on trend and repping your hometown, check out the selection of letterman jackets on eBay. Whether you’re a Bulls fan or you’re feeling the Clippers these days, we think you’ll find what you’re looking for. And don’t forget to kick that sporty outfit up a notch and pair it with heels by Balenciaga or Alexander Wang.

Looking for a holiday gift to give that dashing gentleman in your life? Sometimes it’s best to think small.

Hermes is an undeniably classic brand, always chic and timeless. Their pocket square prints are quirky and unique — from roses to paisleys to, yes, even dancing ballerinas. Buyer beware: It might be hard to pick just one.
