THE FINISHING TOUCHES

Now I know that the word accessories is rather frightening to most men. I mean, unless were talking about electronics, you guys are not interested in "accessorizing" your outfits. You throw the jeans on, you slip the t-shirt over your head and usually the outfit thought process has been lost. Now, I'm not saying you boys should start wearing big chunky necklaces and crazy mafia rings. I'm just saying that there's just something about a guy who is properly and effortlessly "accessorized". They're an inexpensive way to spruce up your wardrobe. They  make your outfit that much more interesting and also add a bit of your personality. Who knows, that girl you've been eyeing on the other side of the bar might ask you something about that watch you're wearing, or if you like baseball. Even though the team on your hat is clearly football. But she's a girl and she's talking to you, so that quickly becomes not so important. So finish your outfit off with a little something extra and let me know what happens. 

STYLE ICON: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

I will admit it. I am a horrible blogger. I never update anything. So I apologize for that. I've been caught up in my new tumblr blog. www.ihatehappyendings123.tumblr.com.  Check it out! Ok, so back to the current post. I have the biggest (and probably unhealthy) crush on Justin Timberlake. Ever since his frosted tips days with Nsync, he has had my heart. Gone are his 90s clothes. Justin knows the current trends. Boots, tight skinny jeans, blazers and, yes, fedoras. I do not advise others to try fedoras though. They just scream "look at me! I'm trying way too hard!" But everything else Mr. Timberlake has been rocking is perfectly acceptable for the everyday average joe. So google the dude and start updating your wardrobe.

LET'S TALK ABOUT FIT, GENTLEMEN

I feel the picture above correctly portrays my feelings on this post. Wearing clothes that fit seems to be a no brainer. But guys everywhere are still wearing the wrong size. Shirts are too baggy, button ups have buttons popping open and pants, well pants are pretty much on the ground. Dude, your t-shirt should be snug, but not so snug I can see every detail on your body. Your button ups should have room to move your arms, but not enough room that it looks like you could fit another person in there. Pants seem to be the worst. They should fit snug around your waist, or hips, and your ass should be inside the pants. Not hanging out the top. Yes, I know that there seems to be this fascination with baggy pants. Rappers have contributed yet another winner in the world of fashion. Thanks. But please, not so much ass that you might as well not even be wearing pants.

STYLE ICON: ZAC EFRON

Zac Efron has come a long way since his Disney, high school musical days. The mop of hair on his hair got chopped, he started acting in real movies and he kinda just grew up. His sense of style has also majorly evolved. This guy has got the act of looking good down to a science. Leather jackets, scarves, graphic tees, beat up boots and skinny jeans. I am very impressed. He always looks put together, yet laid back. Way to go Troy, err, Zac.

THE CUFFED PANT EPIDEMIC

Everywhere I go, I see guys with their pants rolled up. Just hovering over their shoes. I like it. I know that designers have been showing this style on the runway for a while now, but I think that guys are finally starting to catch on.  Its a small detail that makes a rather large statement. It offers a much better platform to show off your shoes and protects the bottom of your pants as well. So, roll em up gentlemen.

THANK YOU JOHN KRASINSKI

If there was such a thing as the perfect dog walking outfit, The Office's, John Krasinski has found it. I mean, its casual, but somehow looks perfectly put together. The sweater isn't too loose, nor too tight. The jeans are the perfect mix of worn in and brand new. The baseball cap tops it all off, while keeping him disguised. But come on John, you cant hide in that outfit.

STYLE ICON: KID CUDI

Kid Cudi. Man on the Moon. The most hipster rapper I can think of. This guy is just awesome in so many different ways. Bright graphic t-shirts layered with beat up old leather jackets and plaid shirts. Crazy coloured socks combined with a classy suit and tie ensemble. He is the king of originality and mixing. He even wears the recognizable thick black framed, "hipster" glasses. He's always on top of his game, day-n-nite ;) .
