Every time I see style and technology coming together, I’m very excited. It’s because both are my passions and there’s just something cool when your passion is taken to another level.

In short, C&A is making these special hangers that shows electronically the number of likes that the clothing item received on Facebook. This means that you can just walk into their stores and immediately see which clothes are hot and which clothes are not.

Pretty cool.

grey patterned ascot tie

Ascot ties are not really ties and are not really scarves either. They’re somewhere in-between but, most importantly, they’re a hidden style gem that will make you look amazing.

I just took my new ascot tie for a “drive test” in the mall today. Now, if you’re a serious style student of mine, you’ve read my articles and you know the kind of stylish clothes I wear and I recommend that you wear as well. These clothes get you noticed almost guaranteed.

tips for shopping on a budget

A lot of times we’re on a buget. Oh wait, let me rephrase that: most of the times we’re on a budget when we go shopping. Even me.

That’s right. Even though I run one of the best men’s style advice blogs, this doesn’t mean that I can go into malls to get whatever I want, whenever I want,for whatever price they’re asking.

Just like my style students, I keep in mind and apply dozens of principles that allow me to save lots of money, spend less time shopping and get higher quality clothes.

Why Custom Clothing Is Such An Awesome Idea

If there’s one thing that comes up over and over again in my style lessons is FIT. Fit is king and guys are finally starting to realize that.

I probably told you a dozen times to take your shirt to the tailor for adjustments after you buy it. That’s great advice (and common sense) but, sometimes, the tailor can only do so much with it.

Enter the world of custom clothing.

You can custom make much more than shirts: suits, sports jackets, pants and even shoes. Sure, this may require a little more effort and a little more money out of your pocket… but in the end it’s well worth it.

platinum mens wedding ring

One of the *toughest* periods in any man’s life is – you guessd it – his wedding. There are lots of details to consider (which I’m not going to cover here from obvious reasons).

What I do want to talk about is choosing the right wedding ring for yourself (or your friend that’s getting married). There are a few key aspects you should consider before you buy one.

Choose The Right Width for Your Size

The first thing you should think about is the width. As you know, here at BeStylish.org we’re obsessed with how everything fits you and the wedding ring makes no exception.

Old School Style Principles That You Should Implement Right Now

old school gentleman

It only takes a second to look at the old poster on the left and notice how stylish he is. The white and yellow bow tie is matched with the white hat with the yellow ribbon.

Style isn’t something new. Style was a way to distinguish true gentlemen from the average guy… and it STILL is.

If you’re a serious style student of mine, you probably know a lot of “tricks” to make your outfits stand out from the crowd. Things like rolling up your trousers or shirts and going sockless are just a few of the most popular ones. But a solid knowledge base is what you should aim for because it is much more important.

It’s not every day that you get to see a male celebrity dressing up so preppy. Yet Ed does it and I want you too see it for yourself.

Ed Westwick (or, as you may know him, Chuck Bass from the TV series Gossip Girl) is an English actor and musician born in Stevenage Hertfordshire, UK in 1987.

That’s it with the facts, I’m sure you’re more interested in his photos than his performances in Gossip Girl, right?

OK, here we go.
