Hot Holiday Ideas for Guys: 1

Heather — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 05:52:00 +0000

Women are not the only ones who have to worry about their wardrobes during this holiday season. So, we are going to review some tips that will help you look just as hot as whomever you are escorting.

For one thing, learn how to layer. Layering cotton and wool the right way can make a big difference, and using classic pieces will serve you well.

Specifically, cotton should be worn close to your body, while wool — which retains heat — is good for sweaters, jackets, and overcoats.

Speaking of which, getting a good overcoat is a great idea not just for the holidays but for winter in general. It will add just the right touch of class and sophistication to your ensemble.

And don’t forget the right accessories — a scarf, gloves, even a hat — to go with it.

When you are going to a formal holiday party or other formal occasion, you should also think about wearing a jacket.

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.

Light Gray Gucci Suit

If that’s not one amazingly classy suit I don’t know what is. This grey plaid wool 3-button suit with flat front trousers by Gucci has a three-button front with notched lapel and four decorative buttons at cuff, flap-besom convertible pockets with single chest pocket and three interior pockets and angled front pockets, slit waist pocket and rear button close besom pockets.

I just ordered one for under $2,000 at Bluefly.

Okay, so buying shirts doesn’t look like the most difficult thing in the world. You’re right, it isn’t, BUT: it can be tough for many guys — seeing as they don’t want to spend half a day checking out hundreds of different styles. A few small and useful tips can really shorten your mirror-looking time, and can help you find a brand/style that fits you perfectly — shortening your shopping time on later excursions dramatically.

Martin Margiela Spring/Summer 2008

Tom — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 04:03:11 +0000

If you like a little unordinary look about you, then Martin Margiela is the one to watch out for. The designs, although not unusual, were completely topped off with the wildest shoe colors. The clothes themselves are great, the detailing in the black shirt in the picture below is fabulous. I don’t dislike “loud” shoes, I think they’re great. Some may not agree, but they do seem to grab your attention, don’t they? Anyway, as far as the overall collection, it’s a good one. Everything seems very versatile and wearable. And I won’t even make a smart crack about the shoes.

Narcisso Rodriguez Spring/Summer 2008 Men’s Collection

Tom — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 03:29:24 +0000

This is a wonderful collection for the classically minded gentleman. Not that you have to be a gentleman, but the suits would sure make you look like one. Everything, from the classic suits to the shorter versions of the classic suits, make this a wonderful collection. It’s definitely a nice change from some of the designer collections that are out there. This menswear line is full of pieces that are completely wearable to any occasion. The designs look highly comfortable, and would conveniently go from office to night on the town. Perfect.

Moschino Spring/Summer 2008 Catwalk Collection

Tom — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 03:21:37 +0000

The Moschino collection for Spring/Summer includes a great line of colors. From the bright orange shoes to the very cool colored hats, everything in this line screams color. The trousers are designed to fit, which is excellent, and the shirts are all very colorful and very well designed. There are lots of white trousers in this collection, as well as some brightly colored shorts. The whole line is full of great, bright colors for spring and summer. And just think, you won’t have to worry about getting lost at night, the bright orange shoes will light your way

Fendi Spring/Summer 2008

Tom — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 03:35:31 +0000

The Fendi menswear line for spring is fabulous. From the classic blazers to the casual shorts, everything is perfect. The colors are great, even the bright yellows. After all, men like to wear color too, right? There is no rule that says men can’t wear canary yellow. Now, the shorts with the blazer look is great. I love that one. There is also a suit with a sheer pullover shirt over the shirt and tie, but under the jacket (hope that wasn’t too confusing). That suit is great, the picture is below so you can check it out for yourself.

J. Lindeberg Spring/Summer 2008 Runway Collection

Tom — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 03:31:38 +0000

J. Lindeberg has done a fabulous job with loosely fitting clothes, and the use of sheer fabrics in men’s designs. The sheer shirt under the semi-sheer and very lightweight cardigan is a great look for spring. Add to that the very cool shoes, and the scarves on practically every design, and it made for a great runway show. The colors, whites, off-whites, and creams, as well as the darker hues, are a great look for spring and summer. I especially like the blue leather (or pleather?). The bright color is fabulous and the look is just plain sexy. The whole collection sort of gives you the Red Baron (you know the pilot) feeling.

Emporio Armani Spring/Summer 2008

Tom — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 04:13:36 +0000

Now, this is what I call a men’s collection. Very sharp pieces, and very manlyJ I’m really loving the great fit of the trousers. I’m not really a baggy pants type of person. The shirts that dip low enough to show off some chest are great. Very sexy. This is a collection that men will love to wear, and women will love to see them wear. It’s a win/win situation for us all. The colors are great, too. No bright pinks or oddly collaborating colors. Overall, the Emporio Armani collection is great. And it really shows off the models’ tattoos.
