Fashion Prince

Now that we have covered all of the fall trends in the way of menswear, let’s go ahead and touch base on the winter wear for men, because it is right around the corner isn’t it?

One of the first looks that I want to talk about is the sweater look.  Just because you are wearing a sweater does not mean that you are sissy, nor does it mean that you need to look like you just came from your grandma’s house.

Sweaters are not something that is embarrassing and while they may have a bad rep, they are slowly coming back into style.  Like this one – a simple grey wool sweater with some black pants is a classic and one that you should definitely have in your closet!

Now we are going to focus above the waist, and this one is going to be a twofer.

First off, your wardrobe is not going to be complete without a few cardigans — and no, not the type your grandpa wears. Oh no, we are talking about a slim, more modern sweater that is all about versatility. It works on a date, it works at the office, it works hanging out with the guys. It’s thin enough that you can wear it over …

The classic striped shirt! Your closet needs a few of these babies as well, and there is no shortage of them out there.

Fall is comprised of layered looks, and a striped shirt lets you do that in any number of ways. Plus, it will look great with dress pants or your favorite pair of jeans.

Ah, Adam Lambert, your style and beauty do strange, strange things to my soul. You guys might be tempted to snicker or even laugh out loud, but this is one pretty fashion prince who definitely has his finger on the pulse of the hottest trends in men’s fashion for fall and winter.

Pinstriped pants, gentlemen. Pinstriped pants. A classic staple, timeless, classic, and oh, so stylish.

You can wear them on casual outings. You can wear them for formal occasions. You can go for standard white on black, or choose more eclectic, innovative color combinations. You can go for thin stripes or thick ones.

Basically, there is no end to the possibilities here. You will be a knockout. Just make sure the fit is right — and flattering — and that you carry the right attitude while you are wearing them.

Now that we have talked about showers, let’s go ahead and talk about how you can pick the right cologne for you.  Cologne is a personal thing and it is not something that should be taken lightly.  After all, you want to make sure that you smell good and choosing the wrong cologne is something that can really – really mess you up in the long run.

One of the first things that you need to think about whenever you are choosing some cologne is what smells good on you.  Fruit?  Nutty scents?  Woody scents?  These are all things that you want to take into consideration whenever you are dealing with making yourself smell better.

Next, trying all sorts of different colognes on is definitely going to help you in the long run.  To be quite frank – going to the store and asking someone is going to help you too, there are specialized cologne experts you know.

When you are a guy – I know that usually the last thing that you think about is going to be how you smell.  Well guys, I have to tell you that if you smell bad, you are not going to be able to get anyone to stay around you.  Whether it is your feet, your pits or even just you in general; that is what I am here for!  To guide you along and help make you smell better!

One of the first and most obvious things that you need to remember is that a shower is a really great way to get some of that stink off of you.  Just lather yourself up with some body wash that lingers and I can promise that the girls are going to flock to you!

In the next blog, we are going to talk about what colognes you should look for!  Stay tuned guys!

Hey, guys? My little princes?

You need to pay more attention to your face. Call attention to it. Draw the eyes to it. Make it stand out.

You know one of the best ways to do that? A hot pair of glasses. Give your eyes a break from the contacts sometimes. Glasses give you a great opportunity to express yourself. They can actually make you look fashionable and sophisticated, even if you are only wearing a comfortable tee shirt and your favorite pair of jeans.

If you can, it is best to have at least two pairs of glasses. One pair should be understated and subtle, the other pair can be a bit more fashion forward, a little bolder.

And if you do not need glasses to see, you can still use this trick. Just buy yourself some ultra cool shades.

Why is it that so many guys seem so afraid of adding a little color into their wardrobes?

Come on, guys; it’s 2009! Adopt the Skittles philosophy, taste the rainbow!

Seriously though — colors are a great way to jazz up your wardrobe without having to spend a ton of money, or a ton of time shopping.

You do not have to go crazy with it; no one is asking you to pretend to be one of the Rainbow Brite kids.

Simply by wearing a colorful tee shirt beneath a jacket or a vee necked sweater, you can give your wardrobe a new breath of life. A bright color makes a great addition to neutral tones — and it will keep you from looking boring.

Now that we have talked about the super-short haircut for 2010 in the last blog, let’s go ahead and talk about the shaggy hairstyle that seems to be sweeping the nation.  Young, young guys are actually all about this particular haircut, not only because it looks awesome, but because it is something that makes them look good.  Clean shaving on the bottom half of their face and spiked up on the top hair.

However, I have to warn you guys; this is a hairstyle that is going to take quite some time to get used to and certainly some time for you to style in the morning.  Gel as well as hairspray are things that you will need in order to make this zig-zag spiky look incredible.

That’s it guys!  Those are the two hairstyles for 2010 we have right at this moment, however check back for more of them!

When you are dealing with a man’s hair – it is a very delicate thing to deal with.  Women have to make all of the style changes, but men … well, they usually don’t, however for 2010 … it is going to the year for men’s haircuts.  The first up?  It’s the buzz cut – this is one that men are going crazy over in 2010!

The great thing about this particular haircut is that it truly is a no-fuss haircut and that is exactly what a man is usually looking for.  Styling your hair is usually out of the question whenever you are trying to get out of the house in the morning and this particular haircut is one that men really like … some gel or hairspray to make it stick up and this guy’s hair is all done!

So if you are looking for something quick and easy in the way of haircuts, this is by far the easiest hairstyle to maintain!

Now, with short hair on guys, there is one thing you can do that will make it completely versatile, so that, depending on your mood, the day, the occasion, et cetera, you can do whatever you want with it.

Layers.

Now, I know, it might seem like layers have no place on a guy’s head, they might seem like the girls’ domain, but that is not true at all.

Layers can do great things for your hair. For one thing, they can make your hair lie in a way that will flatter your head instead of going against it. Plus, with the addition of products, layers will allow you to choose from a lot of different looks.

In fact, you can get all the spikes and textures you want with a layered look. You can even go for the tousled, just don’t give a damn look, if you want!
