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 ;) .

WHY A BUTTON UP SHIRT IS ALWAYS A YES



Button up shirts. They work with everything. They're the perfect article of clothing for men. They're mandatory with a suit, work with jeans, and look perfectly nonchalant thrown over a t-shirt. I personally find them the best with sleeves rolled up, tucked into jeans, finished off with casual sneakers or boots. Sure, they're hot with suits, but they're hotter when you least expect them.

4 PAIRS OF SHOES EVERY GUY SHOULD OWN

Shoes. A very important and essential piece of any outfit. They can make it or break it. You can be looking mighty fine but a bad pair of shoes can turn the look from sexy to saggy. There are 4 pairs of shoes that every guy should own:

#1: Converse High Tops (preferably in black)
   * These shoes go with everything. From jeans and a tee to a classy suit. You'll achieve that "I just       threw these on last minute, but they look fucking awesome" look. Who doesn't want that?

#2: Oxfords
   * Every man should own a pair of some sort of dress shoe. You never know when you'll be attending a wedding, funeral, or your girlfriend is dragging you to some fancy brunch with her parents. Oxfords are most definitely the way to go for this one. They are a no fuss shoe that works with any fancy attire. But they also look pretty kick ass with skinny jeans as well.

#3: Combat Boots
    * Boots are my all time favourite thing to see on guys. They are extremely versatile and oh so sexy. My favourite colour for these is brown. A worn in, I wear these every day, type brown. Yes, yes, yes.

#4: Casual Vans
   * Last, but not lease, Vans. They've been around since 1966. They're obviously a classic by now. These shoes work with everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. They're easy to throw on and easy to match with your outfit. Go buy some. Now.
