Yves Saint Laurent has always been a house-hold name in the fashion industry, creating some of the most dynamic gear for men and women. This year is no different. GearCrave readers, let me introduce you to the YSL Aviator Sunglasses. Easily the sickest shades on the market for men today. The plastic aviator frame is complimented with shiny brass hardware and 100% UVA/UVB protection lenses. It will definitely be difficult to find these sunglasses locally, providing you can even find a YSL Boutique. If you plan on picking a pair of these gorgeous sun-shades up, you’d better visit Yves Saint Laurent’s e-store. They come in only one color, Chocolate, and remind us of Sam Rothstein.

Do you remember the petite, flesh eating bugs from The Mummy movie series? They were scarabs, or at least they looked an awful lot like scarabs. David Yurman has incorporated these little creatures into one of this year’s hottest men’s accessories. The David Yurman Scarab Ring. It’s a solid, sterling silver ring with perforated texture and a 22-karat yellow gold scarab engraved center. The 22-karat DY stamp happens to be a perfect compliment to the main engraving, and it’s size is just large enough to stand out. Quite possibly the coolest piece of men’s jewelry they’ve ever produced, and believe it or not, they are selling out everywhere. So hurry into your local David Yurman Boutique or Neiman Marcus department store to pick yours up before they’re all gone!

Whoever wrote that song “Let It Snow” should be shot. For us working professionals, stepping outside in the frigid cold everyday can be downright cruel. However, if you’re going to succumb to the elements, do it with style. The ultimate scarf for this winter is the old classic, a Burberry Stoal. Now, we know you can grab a fake in China Town for ten bucks, but you can’t put a price tag on merino wool and cashmere, along with double pocket detailing. This is one classic piece that will last you all the way till your mid-life crisis. Very few scarfs can be this sexy, stylish, and masculine all at once. Al Pacino has one. Need we say more?

The headline does not lie; this chair is completely covered in 24-karat gold. Designer Fredrick Mattson is said to have craved a more environmentally-friendly design in chairs, and this notion seems to make sense. If you have a chair covered in gold, who cares what the wood beneath looks like! You can use any old blemished piece of crap, and as long as it holds together, you’ve got yourself a genuinely green piece of opulence.
