I have some good news for you.
If girls start coming up to you and trying to steal your pocket square, it means you’re giving off a sexy vibe.
Well done, my good Sir. Well done.
Stealing your pocket square or pochette is a way for a girl to trigger your interest and start a conversation with you. [Read more…]
I’m not going to lie — I like beautiful women. I enjoy their beauty.
A lot.
Since I was a teenager, I’ve dreamed about dating a super hot model like the ones I’d see in magazines.
Talk about dreams.
Besides their insane beauty, models have this kind of Power that makes them simply… irresistible to the most powerful men in the world.
Unfortunately, at the beginning of my ‘love career’ I wasn’t lucky enough to meet one. I had no idea where they hung out and I couldn’t even figure out how to do it.
Flash forward a couple years: I’m invited to a fashion show and its after-party in Warsaw.
Summer is not over.
In this article I want to share with you some style tips that you can apply right now, to have a GREAT style during summer.
Before we start, you must know that…
You should avoid looking like a German tourist, for whom the word ‘Entspannung’ (relaxation) is taken too much to heart.
The good news is that it’s possible to wear clothes in which you can feel comfortable and still appear elegant.
Choose garments that are specially designed for the season, cut so as to allow air to circulate, particularly in the back and in the legs.
Note that this doesn’t mean badly cut and shapeless, just a little loose.
Avoid those “three-quarter” pants and multi-coloured Bermudas. Experiment with materials: pants in fine cotton or linen work in this situation.
My usual advice is to avoid short-sleeved styles, especially if they come down to the middle of the forearm.
Guaranteed geek effect!
A great short-sleeved shirt that’s simple with a hint of ‘rock’ and no obvious designs or logos is fine.
However, you will look more stylish in a shirt with long sleeves that are carefully rolled up just above the elbows.
Quality sneakers, moccasins or desert boots will look elegant, at least during the day.
If you wear sandals, it’s OK if they are in leather and relatively plain.
It doesn’t require much work; without going as far as having a pedicure, at least make sure your feet are cleaned and well cared for, especially the toenails.
I would suggest foot deodorant – it’s not expensive and it saves lives! In the evenings, according to the circumstances, wear city shoes or quality sneakers. It would be a pity not to get into the best clubs because you made a bad choice.
There’s not much point in my telling you what I think about crocs, running shoes, backpacks and caps – outside of the sporting context or just for cocooning. Don’t fill your pockets until they are bulging and for heaven’s sake, stop tying your sweater around your waist; it ruins your silhouette.
Good luck and enjoy your summer Gentlemen!
Whether you’re dealing with a small budget or small luggage space, you may not have a lot of suits.
Luckily, that doesn’t mean you can’t look like you can. Because it’s such a basic figure in men’s fashion, suits don’t usually stand out, which means with some different accessory and shirt choices, you can transform a single suit into what appears to be several different ones.
Here are some basic things to know about changing the look of a suit: [Read more…]
Whether you work at it or not, you’ve probably got a style that you feel comfortable with.
And if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t often have to wear a suit, the day some kind of formal occasion comes up, you might feel like you’re totally at a loss. So you just do the bare minimum, picking out an acceptable suit and putting it on and feeling like you’re wearing a costume all day.
But I’d like to challenge that strategy.
Okay, I love suits and wear them a lot, but there’s a reason for that: they actually allow you an amazing margin when it comes to expressing yourself. Don’t believe me? Let’s look at some fairly common basic styles that don’t really scream “suit”, and see how we can work that out, shall we?
