Pitti Uomo Score: Grenson Lace-Ups with Faux Steel Toe
These lethal-looking dress shoes are among our editors' favorite sightings this week in Florence. Looks like a steel toe, yes? It's not. In the latest clever reinterpretation of traditional men's work-wear, English shoe maker Grenson showcases a steely-looking metallic leather on the cap toe of a black Oxford lace-up. (Flashes of old-school Dr Martens boots may come to mind.) The Grenson version, however, is more "jackboot of the 1% as it marches down Wall Street" than shaved-head shit-kicker. Updated for modern times. Available through Grenson.co.uk in fall 2012. Also on Details.com: Details Editors' Picks: Classic Shoes on Mr Porter The

How to Dress for Freezing-Cold Days
Seth Putnam and Jeff Kieslich of The Midwestyle share cold-weather tips from Chicago. Chicago winters can be brutal. Just ask the unlucky motorists on Lake Shore Drive about the 70-mile-per-hour lake winds that whipped two feet of snow onto the city last February. And when the light vanishes every day a few hours after lunch, moods can get . . . dreary. Next time you step outside, look around. You're surrounded by a sea of black coats—everyone bundled up so tightly they look like living shadows shrinking from the sun, dark silhouettes trudging to work through the gray slush. Enter

Jeremiah Simmons of A Headlong Dive Shares his 12 (Legit) Resolutions for 2012
Here's the thing about New Year's resolutions: You don't need to flip a calendar over to loose that 10 pounds, begin dressing well, or start really putting money into that 401-K. You can begin that any day you choose—the coming of the New Year and the inspiration it provides is an illusion. Like an imaginary reset button, each of us feel as if this year, this year can be my year. But honestly, why not? Why can't this year be your year? Truth be told, you can choose to make simple yet significant changes to better your life any
