Fashion Style Advice For The Boyfriend

I have received quite a few request from guys, asking me to do a post about men’s fashion. And since I’ve always enjoyed shopping for the men in my life, especially my brother who has a great sense of style, I decided to do so!

Like girls, guys of course have a lot of trends to follow, but in my opinion they are much more true to their personality than women are.

They seem to find a style that fits their personality when they’re young and they stick to it; the rock n’ roller, the sports lover, the nerd, the suit, the hippie… Which can also make it hard for them to see what else is out there in the fashion world…

T-Shirts/Shirts/Jackets

This post is going to be about t-shirt, shirts and jackets that will make any girl look twice… And for starters let’s take a look at one of the best-dressed celebrities; the very handsome actor/writer/student/director, James Franco. Here’s what he does right:

The Shirt

Guys actually have it pretty easy – they put on a nice shirt, a pair of pants and they’re ready to go… One of the best choices when it comes to shirts is check/gingham:

Here is James Franco rocking gingham. A shirt like this will make any outfit more stylish and fresh. If you’re in a hurry and don’t have time to speculate about what to wear (which you probably wouldn’t do even if you had time, because you’re a man) you’ll never get it wrong with wearing a check or a gingham shirt and a pair of dark jeans. These shirts suit all types of guys; from the rock star to the student to the young business man! Here are some colorful summer choices from TopMan:

P.S. Make sure the shirt is ironed! We CAN see when it’s not.

Printed T-Shirts

Another way to spice up your wardrobe is by wearing printed t-shirts. Printed t-shirts are fun and casual and say a lot about your personality, so choose wisely what’s printed on your t-shirt! The other day I saw a guy wearing a t-shirt with three naked girls wrapped with ribbons and surrounded by presents – not cute! Zac Efron on the other hand looks great in his black/white choice…

With a printed t-shirt, your look will become more personal, edgy and stylish in a second! Here are some cool t-shirts for 2010 summer from TopMan:

The guys are rocking the nautical trend just as much as we are, this summer!

The Jacket

When it comes to jackets, men have a lot of choices; trench coats, bomber jackets, denim jackets, coats… As long as the jacket fits you, you’ll be okay… And of course a leather jacket like the one on James Franco in the picture above always works! Other hot jackets for men for a chilly evening (if there is such a thing anywhere in the world this crazy hot summer) include a blazer and the baseball jacket, both from Asos:

A blazer with a pair of skinny jeans, a printed t-shirt and a scarf scream style louder than anything else. Think Jude Law in Alfie and you’ll get it just right! Wear you baseball jacket with some dark skinny jeans to make your look more sporty, but still stylish and edgy!
