Polo Everywhere!!!!


Ok, so I'm tired of seeing Polo everywhere, tis the reason i threw out 13 polos from Ralph Lauren, 4 pairs of shorts, 2 jackets, and 5 pairs of sneakers. I understand that everyone wants to feel like they are wearing something exclusive because they have on Ralph Lauren, and people with some type of wealth wear Ralph Lauren, truth of the matter is you just lessened the value of his clothing. I dont like the clothing wave that seems to happen everytime someone wears something and everyone wants to wear it! This happened with hollister, abercrombie, American Eagle, and now Polo. Give it a rest a diversify yourself from everyone else. It fine if you own a couple of things, but your entire closet should not be Ralph Lauren cause now you just look like a tacky person trying to portray something they are not! So please tone it down and look for labels that not many people wear, it will make you stick out in a good way. Having style isn't just about wearing something stylish, having style is how you put it together with who you are.

Louboutins for Men!!!! Oh My Christian


Oh Christian, How I love thee! Christian Louboutin is world known for making some of the most beautiful woman's shoes. Everyone knows about these red soled pumps and boots that have been spotted every where, from Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City, to Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, Eve, the list goes on and on! Well fellas have you ever seen a nice pair of woman's shoes and think that designer could make millions of dollars more if the branched out into the mens footwear field as well. Well Mr. Louboutin has done exactly that! Creating a couple of sneakers for men as well as some loafers. When looking into the entertainment industry who could you see wearing these you might wonder. Well these fantastic shoes have been spotted on Mr. Kanye West, as well as Swiss Beats. Swiss Beats is actually a good friend of Christian and when the shoes were first released Swiss blogged about them, and he has even gotten his son into wearing theses kicks. So all my gentlemen out there, these shoes do cost a pretty penny though, about $1200. So lets see who has them first?

Infamous Gucci Belt


Ok fellas enough is enough!!!! Please stop trying to rock that fake Gucci belt! No you did not buy that from the Gucci store, first of all the hardware isnt the same, and second the color on the belt is different. Nothing irks my nerves more than seeing a guy with a fake Gucci belt. If you cant afford it, dont go to Jamaica Ave. and try and get one for $45. You will be lucky to find one for $150 and still if you do just waddle yo ass down to the Gucci Store and buy the real thing for $195.

Make A Statement With Your Shoes

Ok as the summer gets closer and closer, our wardrobes need updating. The quickest update is to buy new shoes. While clothes tend to last for a while, spotting last seasons shoes is something you dont want to be caught with this year. An iconic outfit for the summer seems to be the all white look, but please dont get caught in all white clothes with some dusty white sneakers. That is a fail on your life. Please be a little more daring and keep the white shirt with the white pants, but add some color to your shoes. Drivers seem to be an investment that will up the style of your outfit no matter if you pair it with jeans, linen pants, or even slacks. Below are couple of drivers that will give you some nice color this summer.

1. Ralph Lauren Jerald Suede Driver $425
2. Prada Leather Moccasins $420
3. Tod's Lacetto Altraversion Driver $425




Hope to see you all with some of these on this summer!

Best Places to Shop

Dear Fellas, H&M should not be your one stop shopping heaven for everything. While you can find a couple of pieces that will enhance your wardrobe, the quality of H&M's clothing isn't exactly long lasting. So with the money you spend on buying the same pair of jeans 2 or 3 times, you could have just spent the money on one good pair of jeans that will last you forever. A couple of stores are great when shopping for men. J. Crew offers a more preppy style of clothing for men, but you can still find essentials if you don't want that preppy look. Their jeans fit basically every body type, the broken in t's are fantastic, and the the jackets are one for every style. Another amazing store is Uniqlo. Uniqlo is one of those stores that has everything! You can find suits to jeans, button-downs to t's. Dress shoes to to sandals. Best point is, the prices! You could get a great modern fitting suit for about $150. Stock up on t's each running about $12.50, and lets not mention sale. There are tons of J. Crews scatter through out the NY area. Uniqlo is an international store with one store in the entire United States, in the Heart of Soho on Broadway. So fellas, maybe its time to change your wardrobe and start dressing more like men instead of little Boys. Enjoy!

10 Commandments of Style

OK so here are the 10 Style Commandments on how to look you best.


1. Honor Thy Tailor! Please get your jeans hemmed, I'm tired of seeing guys with their jeans underneath the shoes. Also every man should own at least one suit, and don't just buy a suit and throw it on. Take it to the tailor and have them fit it to your body type.

2. Thou Shalt Not Wear Sneakers Made For A Man! Its fine to own sneakers, but use the for the gym. If you are going to wear sneakers keep them simple; Sack Purcell, Sperry's, and things along this line.

3. Thou Shalt Invest In The Right Timepiece! Buy a watch that is convertible, a nice stainless steal watch will go with your jeans for when you dress casually, and it will also look nice when you dress it up with a blazer.

4. Thou Shalt Match Thy Socks With Thy Suit! I'm tired of seeing guys with black dress pants and brown sock, or brown pants with Grey socks, STOP IT!!! Invest in the 3 main colors Black, Brown, and Grey.

5. Thou Shalt Not Wear A Tie That Is Too Slim! OK men unless you are a size 30 in pants you should not wear a super skinny tie. If you want to go for a more modern look go with a tie measuring 3 inch at its widest point, as opposed to a tie measuring 4-5 inches at the widest point.

6. Thou Shalt Put Thy Wallet On A Diet! Nothing bothers me more than seeing a guy with bulging pockets due to a wallet the size of a textbook. Throw out you wallet and invest in a credit card holder for you main cards (i.d., and a couple of credit cards). And for your cash fold it in half and stick it in a money clip.

7. Thou Shalt Wear The Right Tie With The Right Tux! OK if you are wearing a tux you are most likely going out to a formal event, so the right tie is essential. A bow tie goes with a peak-lapel tux, and a tie goes with a straight notch lapel. Also the tie should match the fabric on the lapel, if your lapel is satin go with a satin tie. Also your tie should be black, colored ties are for the prom.

8. Thou Shalt Wear Brown Shoes With Nearly Everything! When I see a guy in black dress shoes it tell me they are unsure of themselves, and have low self confidence. Dark brown shoes will up the style on any outfit! Pair it with Grey, Khaki, or Dark Navy pants to get a real wow effect. Everyone will notice your shoes.

9. Thou Shalt Learn When To Cuff Thy Pants! The secret to cuffing your pants is simple, straight pants = no cuff! If you are wearing pants with a single pleat then you can cuff your pants. BUT!!! your cuff should not be more than 1.5 inches

10. Remember Thy Undershirt! Skipping the undershirt is a clean and stylish look. However if you are a very hairy guy or you perspire a lot you might want to put an undershirt on. If you a wearing a white shirt that is fairly see through, put on a crew neck t. If you wear a v-neck or a tank top you will be able to see the lines and that looks cheesy. If you want to wear a tank top go for a shirt with stripes or a checkered shirt. Or go for a shirt with a harder fabric so that seeing the undershirt is nearly impossible.
