Male style crush

Things that I love when men wear:
1. Blazers. Especially the fitted types that emphasize the waist (which is hopefully existent)
2. Bow ties. The Rolls Royce of male accessories which is difficult to get right, but if you do, it's SO right.
3. Scarves that are not necessarily there for practical reasons.  I'm talking silk scarves tied around the neck on the inside of the shirt.
4. Slim ties. Preferrably black or gray.
5. Tods shoes. There's just something about them.
6. Pocket squares.  For all those who don't know, it's a little handkerchief that men put inside the front pocket of a blazer which to me, indicates his attention to detail.  In men's case, always a good thing.
7. Male arm candy. Very dangerous territory because there's a risk of looking a bit too metrosexual (as if that's a bad thing).

 

As much as I love men's fashion, the eternal truth remains the same: it's not a sharp suit or crocodile shoes that carry the man, but the man inside who carries all that.

Ahhhhhhhhh.....

I'm craving Gossip Girl. I can't wait till September to find out what happens to Chuck Bass and drool over all the beautiful clothes, shoes and accessories. The costume designer of Gossip Girl has my dream job and he is so incredibly talented. I'm going to be controversial and say that the styling of Gossip Girl is actually better than Sex and the City. Don't get me wrong though, I adore SATC and never get bored of watching it over and over and over and over again.  Looking back at the first few seasons of SATC, the girls were not as glamorous and stylish as the movie puts them out to be. If you re-watch all the seasons you will actually see that it's only towards the end that their wardrobes become interesting (as in that pink Oscar de la Renta dress, newspaper Galliano dress, the Birkin bag, Dolce sparkly pants etc). And what's all that fuss with Manolos? Do people REALLY like those shoes or just pretend to just because of the series? Personally, there are only a couple of designs that i like (like, not love). But obviously, I have to admit that its thanks to Patricia Field that SATC is what it is today and she is a great visionary. If you don't watch Gossip Girl, then I recommend you do. It's a 40 minute catwalk show per episode and the storyline is jaw dropping. Oh, and one of the main characters, Chuck Bass, is this world's most stylish man and he looks better than Marc Jacobs in a suit (imagine that!). But for now, let's get some patience and count the days till September.
