August 11th, 2010

If you’re looking for something to make you stand out in front of everyone, I mean, to really stand out… you need to look no further than a hat.

Hats are a great alternative: they’re classy, they’re in style and they can give you a few extra inches in height in an instant! What more can you ask?

Let’s take a closer look at the most stylish of them all: the fedora

A Little History

The word “fedora” comes from a play from 1889. The main character was a Princess Fédora, who wore a hat similar to today’s fedora.

August 10th, 2010
One of the things guys ask me all the time is how to match one’s clothes. This question pertains mostly to colors because that’s where us men have the biggest problems.

How can you really stand out from the crowd?

What’s the one thing that will draw women’s eyes upon you? (without effort…)

Give up?

It’s color.

In fact, it’s not color… it’s color matching.

When you make a great color combination, you’ll really feel what it’s like to have people admire you.

3 Simple Men Casual Outfits

August 8th, 2010
Let’s face it: 99% of the time we find ourselves in casual situations. Whether we’re going on a date, to grab a beer, to have dinner in family or just on a night out, we need clothes that are both comfortable and look good.

You can’t wear a suit when you’re going in the club, can you? I’ll just look like you’ve stayed late at work and didn’t have time to go home to shower and change.

You need some good casual outfits suggestions. Not the kinds of clothes that every other guy is wearing – something unique, cool and, of course, comfortable.

Shirt and Tie Combinations For A Black Suit

August 2nd, 2010
I know, I know… You have this event and you’re clueless about what to wear. All you know is that you need a suit, a shirt and a tie. If it weren’t for your girl, you’d just walk up into the first store you can find and take the first thing the salesperson recommends.

Hey, I’d rather grab a beer too instead of dragging myself through dozens of stores to find something decent to wear.

But image is important. Whether we like to admit it or not, knowing to match our suit, shirt and tie is a must. The combinations are many but I’m going to save you the trouble and confusion you have when it comes down to this topic.

The Difference Between Fashion and Style for Men

August 1st, 2010

Hey
I know I’m usually posting about specific advice on what to wear and what not to wear but…
I realized there’s a BIIIG point guys are missing when it comes to style. And that point is…

They mix style with fashion!

Does anyone have a dictionary in the house?

Seriously now, it’s a big confusion guys make. Let me tell you what that difference is and why it’s so important.

Fashion is an industry and it’s all about changing trends. Whenever I think about fashion I think about dressy fat-cats who make up some new collection every year to make people buy over and over again.

Are Men’s Military Shirts Stylish?

July 28th, 2010
If you’d like to wear a shirt but aren’t into dress shirts at all, you’re probably looking for a casual alternative. How about a military shirt?

When most men think about a military shirt, they imagine an ugly camouflage shirt. But today’s stylish military shirts are not like that at all. They have very good fabric and colors (as you are about to see).

So why are they still called “military” then? Well, they do keep some elements from the original models worn by the soldiers. One is the epaulets and the other is the front pockets.

Let’s face it: if you’re below 5 feet 8 inches tall (or 1.72 meters), you probably find it hard to find the right clothes for you. Making a lasting impression through the way you dress is harder because you often make compromises as to what clothes you buy. I understand your problem and I want to give you specific advice on how to solve it… for good.

If you read on the internet about this or that technique that makes you look taller, you’ll only be disappointed by the results. My approach is different: I’m going to give you ALL the techniques available and what I ask from you is simply to apply as many of them as you can.

Are Gray Tuxedos Stylish?

July 21st, 2010
One of the most appreciated pieces of clothing is, without a doubt, the tuxedo. On formal occasions, a lot of men proudly wear one to show class and style.

I’m not going to delve into the origins of tuxedos or the names under which they are know in different countries (or who refers only to the tuxedo jacket when they talk about tuxedos and who doesn’t). What I want to debate is whether or not a gray tuxedo is acceptable or not.

How To Get A Uniform Tan Without Burning

July 18th, 2010

Tanning is one of those things that we’re thinking about all winter. Some of us are rather anxious for summer to come (yesterday was my first day of sunbathing for this year and I definitely couldn’t miss it). Like any other activity, suntanning involves certain risks that we can avoid if we know how.

First of all, let’s get something straight: there is no proof (so far) that tanning with a sunbed is riskier than tanning under the sun. If you have any, please post it below in a comment to let everyone know. The fact of the matter is both types of tanning can cause skin cancer if you’re not careful
