Alexander the Great

A Tribute to McQueen

 American Vogue hosted a tribute in their glossy pages for one of the greatest fashions extraordinaire I think ever walked among us, Alexander McQueen!

This awe-inspiring spread is an intro for the stellar career and thorough preview for the upcoming Savage Beauty exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute featuring “Alexander The Great” – a beautiful story of the fashion pioneer Alexander McQueen.

Take a look at these creations; McQueen is still my favorite designer!

Men’s Fashion Basics

 I’ve been getting a lost of feed back from my male readers as to what the basics are that they should get for a great wardrobe.

Here is my Top Tips for the 4 basics that every guy should invest in!

Shoes

 I spoke about the basic shoes every guy should have on Style Scoop so check that out as well by clicking the image above. Every guy needs the 3 basics in shoes: Easy going loafers or slip-ons, Dress Sneakers or Casual Sneakers, and then lastly a great pair of dress shoes. 

Pants

 This season is all about the Straight-Cut-Drop-Crotch pant. Invest in designer labels when buying your basic jeans (Blue and Black) they have a wider variety of fits and is better made.

 

Shirts

 Men’s Shirts are tricky because it all depends on you personal style, so my tip would be to NOT spend lots of money on T-Shirts and rather spend more on formal shirts to make sure you get nice fitted shirts.

Accessories

A must for any look, so my tip is to start building up your collection by buying at least one item every moth, that way you’ve got a range of accessories to choose from.

Men’s Fashion Myths & Mistakes

There’s a lot of Misperception & Myths when it comes to Men’s Styles and Trends…here is my top 6 Myths and Mistakes for Men’s Fashion!

Matching Belt & Shoes

This is the oldest rule in men’s styling and it holds some truth. The rule that you should match your Belt & Shoes is true, however it is more a guideline as a pose to a RULE!

Never Mixing Patterns, Prints & Textures

This old myth holds no ground any more, back in the 90’s we were all match-match but todays trends is all about mixing ant matching Patterns, Prints & Textures into a unique look that suits your personality.

My TOP TIP is to stick to a maximum of 3 Patterns, Prints or Textures per look!

Retro means Old

Retro does NOT mean old, Retro is in fact brand new… Retro fashion is simply fashion that lends inspiration for old styles and trends…so DON’T grab your old Power Ranger T’s from a box and wear them as “RETRO” fashion.

Comfort over Style

Many guys belief that being fashion forward means being uncomfortable. This is not true at all, so please burn those Crocs and get your self some loafers instead!

Denim is meant for Jeans

We all remember the dreaded head to toe Denim looks of the 90’s, don’t worry those  aren’t   making a comeback any time soon. However Denim is not just for Jeans, wearing a Denim shirt is a really great way to build on that edgy rocker look…

My TOP TIP is to chose a Denim Shirt that is distressed and in a different colour group than the Jeans you will be wearing with them AND make sure to break up the Denim with some accessories or a great leather jacket!

Expensive is Better

Buying designer names does not make you trendy, if you don’t know how to put together the right look no amount of money spend on labels will make you look good. Mixing and Matching Designer Gear with Bargain Buys is also a great way to ensure a unique look.

Tune in to MFM 92.6 next week @ 11:30am for the next Trendoid Tuesday segment!

It’s Trendoid Tuesday and I’ve got some great men’s trends for all you fashion forward dudes! A huge trend right now is distressed leather and Rock & Role inspired accessories.

Here are my TOP must have’s of the season along with some Do’s and Don’ts in getting it right on the accessory front line!

MUST!!

Leather Gloves

A huge DO for me is leather cuffs; it’s a great edgy look for an every day look!

Another big DO this season is hats, everything from beanies to caps and even bo-ho Fedora hats are a perfect way to ad to your winter look!

Oh hell NO!

Men should avoid wearing rings and gold chains it’s really not a great look unless you’re a wanna be rapper!
