I’m sure you’ve taken this into consideration at some point. Hair straightening is a process that will give you that relaxed, smooth hair which will allow for a higher variety of haircuts.

I can’t believe I didn’t write this article sooner. I can’t imagine how Be Stylish, a mature men’s style blog, didn’t have a page dedicated to one of the hottest Hollywood actors.. who also happens to be the worlds’d most famous men style icon.

I think one of the funniest stories I ever head about Johnny was when this school girl wrote to “Jack Sparrow” (the name of the character he plays in Pirates of the Caribbean).

When it comes to choosing the right patterns for you outfits, there are plenty of options available. You’ve got horizontal and vertical stripes, checks, micro-checks, glen check, floral prints (such as paisley) and geometric. Aren’t we forgetting one that’s important?

Let’s talk about the fishbone pattern.

The fishbone (a.k.a. the herringbone pattern) looks something like this:

It kind of looks boring, doesn’t it? Wait until you see it on some real outfits.

Fashion Items That Come in This Pattern

They aren’t many but you only need one or two, anyway, in your wardrobe.

While looking for something stylish to wear on New Year’s, it hit me: why not go for something really classy? Why not go for a french cuff shirt?

Item: french cuffed shirt
Color: white with blue microchecks
Fabric: cotton
Brand: Artigiani
Store: Bigotti
Price: $106 (on December 24 2011)
I’ll be wearing it with: cuff links, vests, suits, sports jackets, chinos, khakis and so on

Dressing on a budget is great but luxury has always been like a magnet to people. Luxury cars, luxury hotels and, you guessed, it luxury clothes and clothing brands.

Burberry Prorsum is one of those brands and for good reason. It has an entire history behind it but, more importantly, it makes quality clothing.

I grew up with Burberry being the ultimate brand in chic, elegance and history. My granny, the chicest lady I ever knew, had a Burberry raincoat. Now it’s a cool and edgy fashion house, too.

Nobody likes cold weather but what if you’re stuck in a region where you’re constantly fighting low temperatures?

Meet the cable knit sweater – a classic whose only purpose is to keep you warm… and stylish.

Origin

Where is the “cable knit” coming from? If you look closer at its texture, you’ll notice thick vertical “ropes” traversing it. This unique pattern is probably the “deepest” you’ll ever meet in an item of clothing.

I was starting to get worried that I’m not going to find the right pair. Initially I was hoping for a pair of brown brogue shoes but i was disappointed not to have too many choices. The fact of the matter is, most of the boots that I found weren’t didn’t have fur lining.

So I found something that will (hopefully) keep me really warm this winter:

Item: Winter boots
Color: Grey
Fabric: Suede with fur lining
Brand: Benvenuti
Price: $106 (on November 26th 2011)
I’ll be wearing them with: most of my winter outfits
