I'm Back

A few weeks ago I was watching the style gurus, "Trinny and Susanna", they were helping to re-style a couple.

The tips they gave to the guy on the programme I think are really important for making guys appear taller.

1) Try not to wear shoes that are the opposite colour to the trousers you are wearing:


This will make you look taller. Monochrome colours always help you to look taller, as it doesn't break up your silhouette.


2) A small jacket helps to define a waist,

"Topsuit"

A nicely cut suit, power suit should be part of any man's wardrobe, its really important that there is a defined shape, silhouette,

Its fashionable now to show off your ankles, so a slightly smaller trouser leg is ok,

but the trousers must fit, it might be ideal, to shop for plain suits, allowing you to match different brands, for the ultimate experience, bespoke, but not all can afford the £2000 price tag!

FOR THE HIGH STREET: Topman offer suits in small sizes, perfect, down to a 34 inch chest!

Esquire brings this seasons must havs!

Grey and

Nautical (a completely obscure look, match blues and whites, strips, giving a dressed down look)

The only area where GQ and Esquire agree is Cobolt Blue- Jil Sander

Chunky Jumpers- Geometric Galore- Missoni for Fall

In the UK, it's still very much winter,

a perfect accessory for the cold weather are chunky knits,

Missoni are showing great geometric shapes,

D&G in their Winter 2006 also show some great jumpers, if you have a skinny frame these will really fill you out!

One idea is to use a belt, which goes around above your waist (nice designed) to detract from your waist,

These will really fill out your frame, if you need to illusion of more muscle!

Marni v Milan

Marni,

Can a look which is at home (in the US) be worn on the high street,

to pull off this look you've got to have muscular legs, thin pencil like look makes you look thin and unbalanced,

the same as an emo look (skinny jeans)!

Ultra Marine + Leggings- A Seasons Blunder?!

Predictions from Esquire, are that Aqua Marine will be in this season,

this look, shiny blue, metallic, DKNY, Jill Sandler & Calvin Klein,

a bad look for the self conscious!

Calvin Klein


Oh and also to set off that colour, leggings?

It seems that the fashionists have come up with a homme/femmo look,

for us the leggings cling to your legs, not filling out your frame, and the blue, well, certainly get you know on the high street,

hats off to the fashionists for pushing boundries, but should we just leave the leggings for the girls?

Hair Cuts for the Summer Part 2

One style that should really be kept away from is shoulder length hair,

number of reasons,

firstly its gone out of fashion- short hair, even if long on top is fashionable,
long hair requires more upkeep, (straightening/cosmetics)

and it hides the neck,

this makes you look smaller!
