This One is For the Boys

I haven't forgotten you menfolk...in fact it was while in the men's department at Urban Outfitters in Charlottesville I decided to write this blog. So here are some thoughts to make your wardrobe picture perfect.

First we must discuss man sandals, there is just nothing attractive about them. And I know that if women can wear them you want to also, I have no real advice because I really just do not know what to say. But think about this, men will always look very attractive in sneakers, always, especially white. Go bold with color and you will earn big brownie points to any girl. Simple is always good for the summer. Good places to start are Sperry's, Keds, K Swiss, VANS, and Converse...all readily available on the web. If you insist on a sandal please beware of fit and if your Grandfather would wear them. If he would, then you shouldn't. 

Things you should wear:
- layers...including scarves...yes you can!
- white--top and bottom
- linen pants
- light, in color and weight, jeans: women don't really, so this is a genre of clothing you can totally own, a nice baggy look is great if you are thinner to average weight
- watches--bring back a manly leather watch and don't be surprised about how well it is received
- summer blazer: light in fabric, an out of season jacket can be spotted a mile away

Point of consideration: fragrance, when the seasons change so should your cologne, try a lighter version of something you are currently wearing, dark fragrance will not correctly match the current temperature or what you are wearing!

Good Luck! Be Brave!
