Menswear - What Sets You Apart?

/

So, you have bought your timeless navy suit, found those magic jeans that make you actually have a butt and snagged your favorite wrinkle-free white and blue button-down shirts....Congratulations! You now look like every other guy on the street, but hopefully with good quality clothes. So, now the question is, "What sets you apart?"

Well, you could always grow a sweet handlebar mustache...But seriously, if you're a working professional that is confined to a dress code of slacks, dress shirts and suits you're kind of limited. I mean, you can only keep your awesome Ray Bans on for so long until people start asking you if you're a Bono wannabe.

Think details! From your jacket lining to your belt, it's the details that help make you different from the guy in the cube next to you.

Men with Glasses

Maybe it's because I work in architecture...Maybe it's because I'm married to a man with glasses...Maybe it's because I'm a nerd...But, I just LOVE glasses on men. Heck, I just like glasses period. I started wearing glasses when I was six years old for reading. I had thick plastic, purple glasses that I thought were the coolest thing. Let me just say, that wasn't a style moment for me. I looked like a worse version of Hermoine Granger when she first started at Hogwarts. Haha! (Glasses and frizzy hair should never go together.) Since then, however, they have just become of a great way for me to express style. The same goes for guys.

So, if you're a dude out there reading this and you hate your glasses, rethink it! Grab a friend that will give you honest advice and try on some awesome pairs such as the ones below. The ladies will think you're an architect, designer, artist of some sort or incredibly distinguished.

Menswear Monday: Pink & Purple

/

Since we were first born it has been ingrained in us that pink and purple are for girls and blue and green are for boys. Well, I know plenty of girls that enjoy wearing blue and green, and I have never run into a guy that has an issue with it. However, it seems that plenty of guys and even some of the ladies out there still are a little iffy about guys wearing pink and purple.

People, seriously?! I love pink and purple on men. Who knows...It could be YOUR color. Here are some examples of men rockin' the colors. Next time you are in a store, please try it. If you still are unsure of how you look in the color ask a sales person for their unbiased opinion.
