Man Fashion: Is Skinny Jeans Dying Off?

If you thought you look totally awesome in your skinny hipster jeans, well you are wrong. The trend seems to be dying off and most people these days have begun to go for that eased look, which comes with jeans that are not skinny. In the Paris Men’s Fashion Week lately, Dior Homme, Lanvin, Hermès, Paul Smith and other big names in the men’s couture did not reveal any jeans or trousers that even bordered close to being skinny or tight.

The tight jeans, kohl fudged, spike haired look seems to be dying and a relaxed 90s look seems to be back. This could be a fallout from the recession as most of us do not care about fashion anymore? as some of us are not afford as before?

The solution seems to be in well tailored but unpretentious jeans that not only look good but also make you feel like you are not being vain when people are losing jobs. Hermès designer Veronique Nichanian showed to the world what well dressed men look like even without tight and skinny jeans with washed linens and vintage shirts. Of course, fashion is very personal taste, I'm not influence your decision, but if you are on the lookout for such skinny jeans, think twice again!

Man Fashion: D&G Time Commercial

Nothing new about Dolce and Gabbana ads. as they are always known for racy ads, commercials and editorials. All of there lines do that, be it Dolce and Gabbana, D&G, or D&G Time.






If you are confuse between Dolce and Gabbana and D&G, maybe I should clarify with you, Dolce and Gabbana and D&G are two separate lines. D&G is a younger version of Dolce and Gabbana and operates at a lower price point. Definitely is not what you thought as a Diffusion line of Dolce and Gabbana.

Man Car Review: 2010 Audi R8 V-10

Since it first appeared as the Le Mans Quattro Concept at the Frankfurt auto show way back in September 2003, the Audi R8 became an instant sensation. But seemingly before the car even turned a wheel the inevitable follow-up question was asked: when is the more-powerful variant coming? After all, Porsche is never content with just a base 911 and with comparisons aplenty between the Stuttgart legend and upstart rookie from Ingolstadt, it was obvious Audi would eventually up its R8 game.

Like the V-8-powered R8, the Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro will come with either a traditional six-speed manual or R tronic six-speed sequential manual. Regardless of gearbox choice, Audi says the V-10 propels the R8 5.2 from 0-62 mph in 3.9 seconds -- about a half-second drop from the 4.4 second 0-60 claim for the R8 4.2 and squarely in the supercar pantheon. Audi also claims the R8 5.2 achieves an average fuel economy of 17.2 mpg, an impressive figure for a 525 hp supercar.



The car's dimensions don't vary much from the V8 model — the V10 measures just 3 millimeters taller and 4mm longer. This car is wider than the V8 by just over an inch, though, and this is because the wider side blades (i.e., air scoops) take in more air for cooling and, frankly, just add more badass-edness to the way the V10-powered R8 looks.

The Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro will make its world bow at next month's 2009 Detroit auto show and when the R8 5.2 is rolled out in Germany in the second quarter of 2009, it will come with a sticker price of 142,400 Euros, or $181,645 at current exchange rates. Though there is no official word yet on the timing of a U.S. release, it's likely the R8 5.2 will come stateside sometime late next year with a hefty premium over the base R8, which presently lists for just under $116,000.

Man Fashion: Facial Hairstyle for Christmas

Facial hair styles help the men show their complete personality as a bold, dynamic and tough. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration if we term the facial hair style as revealing the masculinity of men. Our forefathers boasted of theirs mustache and a long beard which in modern world is nowhere to be seen except in Hollywood films.

All the men prefer to remain clean shaved which now has become a trend displaying a sober personality of man. But with many fascinating styles of facial hair gaining a popularity in the world, even the clean shaved men have developed a craze for adopting a most attractive facial hair style. Though a sole purpose of adhering to any suitable facial hair style is to cause a magnetizing effect of man’s personality in the society, few men change the style of their facial hair only to conceal their bad look.


Be the motive whatever it may, the facial hair style has got to help you meet your personal desire. You can choose a most suitable facial hair style for your face out of many attractive styles, such as mustachio shaggy facial hair style , beard facial hair style, goatee facial hair style and side-burbs facial hair style.

A general notion that attractive facial hair style helps the men look very dynamic and imperious by entire of their physique stimulates them to opt for a most impactive facial hair style at saloon. Encouraged immensely to establish their personality as a most extraordinary one in a friend circle, office or in society, the curious men go through many unique styles of facial hair before adopting a most suitable one matching with their face, personality and disposition


If you too have developed a craze for improving your personality and do crave for a suitable facial hair style, visit local saloon and look into the album to opt a most suitable facial hair style which has got to present your embodiment as an extraordinary one in the society. Some of the much sought after facial hair styles which you can choose from at a saloon, include Balboa facial hair style, full beard facial hair style, chin strap facial hair style, chin strip facial hair style, wide goatee facial hair style, door knocker facial hair style, manicured scruff facial hair style, mutton chops and soul patch facial hair style, etc.

Those who want to present themselves as an exceptional personality in their society should go for a suitable facial hair style. Like a beauty-conscious woman, the men also spend much of theirs precious time in maintaining their facial look, which, they believe, will help them maintain greatest impact of theirs facial hair style. It is the main reason that almost all the personality-conscious men do visit saloon after every two to three days of time in order to trim unscrupulous facial hairs and maintain adopted style of facial hair.


All the celebrities and Hollywood stars go for different types of facial hair styles. Reigning over the thoughts of their fans, the celebrity’s glamorous dresses, hair styles and even facial hair styles encourage the men to follow even a quaint facial hair style.

Do not follow a quaint facial hair style, which, though may look very attractive over the face of a film actor, it can render you a laughing stock among your friends, if it doesn’t match your face and figure. Impact of any specific facial hair style cant be the same for all, as the face and figure of men differ and play conspicuous role in signifying or stultifying the facial hair style which you may be planning for. Do not imitate a facial hair style of any great personality if it doesn’t suit your face.

Man Fashion: 2 Button or 3 Button Men Suits

The most important thing which has to be considered while choosing a men's suit is that it fits you perfectly either be formal or casual occasion.


2 Button Men Suits
So if you just stepped into the world of the urban working class and struggling with your wardrobe essentials. It should be mentioned early on that the casual laid-back clothing style no longer applies to this decade. It is a must that you are well-dressed and primped for work. It must be mentioned that the 2 button men suits is the most popular choice for casual clothing these days.


Men’s fashion, for this year and the next, are all about classic styles and suits are moving back into the mainstream of men’s clothing. You have a lot of choices to pick from; the right style, design, color, and fabric.

To be perfectly suited up, find a suit that fits you, not too loose and not too fit as it can ruin the style that you’re aiming for. To be on the safe side, opt for 2 button men suits.


3 Button Men Suits
So if you're out for the weekend club scene and it takes a lot of time and effort to just blend in with the crowd yet stand out as well. The differences between casual jackets or blazers from 3 button suits in terms of occasions and places where you can wear them are fairly indistinguishable. Now that men are becoming dressier and acutely aware of their own personal style, casual dressing now involves suiting up.

Perfect for everyday wear, the 3 button suit is flexible for random mixing and matching that appeal to the wearer. Of course personal style is personal style, yet trying to come up with a fashion statement may not be a very good idea altogether. There are still rules to follow.

To blend in with the hip crowd on men’s fashion, take time to adapt the latest trends and the 3 button suits that is the current fashion necessity for men nowadays. Only the most confident fashion enthusiasts can carry on wearing 3 button suits in a fashion-forward sense. Although both 2 button and 3 button suits are glamorous and timeless, the 2 button has seen better times over the last decades, leaving the 3 button suits to be used sparingly. The 3 button adds balance to tall men who, by the way, are the most common users of this type of suit. The extra number of buttons allows a full button up without risking looking short.

Seriously, be it 2 button or 3 button men suits is very much depend on your height, 2-button suit adds length for your torso since the V-point is much lower. So any man with a short torso would benefit from 2 Button Men Suits, whereas 3 button men suits will end up having the V-point of your lapels to be higher part of your chest.

Man Fashion: Men Fashion Trends for 2010

Fashion trends change every season, including in menswear. While it is untrue that clothes make the man, but a person attire do make significant difference to him, especially when it comes to putting together the right outfits for right occasions. The men fashion trends depend not only on the kind of social circle we belong to, but also on the environment we live in and the climate. But being fashionable does not mean that we have to buy all the designers' hottest items, that I mentioned previously in our blog.

From the simple polo shirts, T-shirts, sweaters, jackets to jeans to suits, they are all there in every man's wardrobe, the only change in latest trends may only be few new funky colors and few statements. The trends change, but the basics always remain. So let look how we move on from here. The first step is to play with colors in your primary garments. For office wear, many men tend to choose black and white outfits, because these colors are simple, classic and "safe", but life is not about black and white.



Even though you insist on wearing black, you can add something else or other colors like navy blue, light gray an even purple. Besides wearing a suit or blazer, you can opt for cardigans, which have been popular for a few seasons. Pair a retro-style cardigan over a button-down shirt and tailored pants. For a more casual look, a polo shirt is the best choice, topping the list of shirts. Wear a polo shirt with jeans, or match it with zip-up or hooded jackets.

Jeans are the all-time favorite for just about everybody. One current trend among urban hipsters and young fashionist are skinny jeans, that I talked about previously. Man should walk out of comfort zone, and try out new colors, not only on clothing, but also shoes. try to get some outstanding colors shoes for casual occasions, One last thing is tote bags. You can always opt for a tote bag for casual occasions. Tote bags may be a rather new concept for most men because they're more similar to women's bags. But the fact is there are many manly tote bags now. So don't be shy about using one. The important thing is to use your creativity to mix up things to get what you want. And if you have yet to understand the current trend, just keep it simple.

Man Fashion: Spring Summer 2010 Collection

London Fashion Week finished on an extreme high with a day dedicated to menswear, diversity was the word on each fashionistas lips as Spring/Summer 2010 was translated into the male language.

James Long’s collection was inspired my quality street wrappers and depicted both function and protection. Trousers greatly resembling his inspiration strutted down the catwalk teamed with rather sexy gilt edged camouflage; leather and select pieces of knitwear bought the collection together and showed which seasons it was created for. While the collection didn’t scream wear ability it did show Long’s talent when it came to creating unique menswear, it wouldn’t suit the average male or situation but then again when was Fashion practical.



Christopher Shannon took what should always be wrong and made it fashionably right as he sent his models down the catwalk with dodgy tan lines, ‘fanny packs’ and the cardinal sin of socks with sandals.



Unlike other designers Shannon’s collection was based on wear ability, he struck a balance between street style and high fashion; he isn’t interested on being the name on everybody’s lips, he creates clothing for the ever growing niche market that has patented his distinctive designs. Overbearing yet chic prints and his love of luxe sportswear have clearly paved his way into the fashion elite. In his own words his inspiration for his S/S 10 line “Donk, clashing sportswear and bootleg prints”

Man Fashion: Essential Men Fashion Tips

There are as many dos and don'ts in fashion as there are brands, and it can be overwhelming! Some man fashion tips are more important than others and many can be ignored without making major fashion gaffes.
So let us go back to 5 essential Man Fashion Tips:-

1. Don't Be Afraid to Play With Color

While you try to color coordinate your shoes with your belt or your socks with your pants, you don’t have to make your entire outfit match. Show off your personality by using color in your shirts and ties. Today’s neck ties come in a variety of colors and patterns. You can add a punch of class to any plain suit with a crisp red neck tie.

If you want a more playful look, try a tie with polka dots or stripes. Striking without being overwhelming, a colored necktie is the perfect way to inject color and personality into your outfit and lifestyle.


2. DO Wear Socks that Match Your Pants

If you are wearing black trousers, avoid white socks, unless you are superstar like Micheal Jackson. There is nothing worse than a man in a nice black suit who sits down only to reveal pristine white socks. It does not matter whether you wear socks that are solid colors or patterns as long as the color of the socks matches your pants.


3. DO Wear a Watch

As discussed in my previous post, watch is a wonderful fashion accessory, so you will look classy and sophisticated with a watch. You don’t have to be wealthy to afford a nice, classy watch. You can find a variety of beautiful watches for very reasonable prices in most department stores.




4. Do Try Out Flat-Front Trousers

Most men avoid pants that are made with a flat-front. Our fathers and grandfathers all wore the traditional pleated trousers so we often automatically assume that we should wear the same. This is a big mistake! In fact, pleats can be a disaster if a man is overweight. They only make you look bulkier when you are trying to look slim and trim. Give flat-front trousers a try and you will be amazed at how much better you look. If you feel uncomfortable in flat-front trousers, try buying a larger size and getting them tailored to fit your waist better.


5. DO Match Your Shoes with Your Belt

This is most basic rule of men’s fashion. You can tie together even the most awkward outfits by matching your shoes with your belt. Stick with neutral colors such as brown, charcoal and black. These colors can be worn with virtually anything, from business suits to casual blue jeans.
Coordinate the color of your belt with the color of your shoes. Lastly, while belts add a polished look to your ensemble. Make sure, however, not to fasten it too tight.

Man Fashion: America Football Jerseys

The Throwback Jersey was first introduced in the NFL in the 1994 75th anniversary season and continue to be popular with both fans and teams. A wide variety of throwback designs have been worn in the NFL, with varying degrees of accuracy.


If you claim yourself to be a football fan, you should definitely get yourself one of these great NFL throwback jerseys. In the older days of football, the NFL was known to be more than just a commercial sport.


Critics who used to pour their love over football are now saying the NFL has become more entertaining than it should be, and players, are now playing for themselves more than for the team, such as Tim Tebow, The Heisman Trophy Winning quarterback.By the way, if you follow the news closely. Tim Tebow literally got slammed and injured by the Kentucky defense and took a hard blow on his head yesterday.


Whatever you hear, we are more into the trendy jesseys rather than anything else.
