Men’s style is embracing its inner nerd this season. Don’t believe me? Just look at Sean Avery and Justin Timberlake for starters. Both have been spotted sporting thick-rimmed, Clark Kent-ish glasses recently (the former wore a pair to a birthday party Daphne Guiness threw for Steven Klein at the Standard hotel earlier this week, while the latter sported an identical set to the Costume Gala at the Met last night).

Sean Avery continues to prepare for the sooner-than-later end to his notorious NHL career by joining New York's burgeoning ranks of famous people who open bars and restaurants. The Observer reports that the former Vogue intern is joining forces with Beatrice Inn co-owner Matt Abramcyk to open a "sports bar meets country club" in Tribeca. Warren 77--named after its address of 77 Warren St.--, will be an intimate affair with "six tables seating up to 36 in the restaurant area, and five tables seating up to 14 in the bar." Meh. We'd rather go to Dutch Kills.

This summer Sean Avery went from shooting pucks to shooting models. Or at least getting coffee for the people that do. Now that he's Mensvogue.com's guest editor, we look at how The Most Hated Man in Hockey is doing at his new job.

Reader, If I could impart one piece of nightlife advice it would be the following. Don’t start off a night with a terrible hangover when the BVLGARI Diagono Watch Collection, and Rock & Republic “Summer at The Beatrice Inn” are on the itinerary. Furthermore, it’s best not to attend an event celebrating anything having more than two consecutive consonants in its name with said terrible hangover, espcially if it's being held at Frank Gehry’s sleek IAC Building. The elegance of it all will make you feel like the tuna tar-tar being passed around. Instead, don your best Proenza Schouler with the prior knowledge that you’ll be bumping into beautiful people like Sean Avery, Simon Spurr, and New York Jets center Nick Mangold, and that later at the Beatrice, you’ll be dancing with Kirsten Dunst, Sia, Emma Snowdon-Jones and May Anderson. A cautionary tale.
