how to look hot, boys' edition.

Dear So-Incredibly-Hot-I’m-Losing-My-Focus, Boys', 
This one’s for you! I started out this blog post thinking I’d talk to you about men’s fashion and trends that are currently “in”, but then it dawned upon me that you guys don’t really care about that stuff, do you? Businessmen aside, how many of you actually walk around in a suit and tie? What you see on the runways for both men & women’s fashion is very rarely duplicated on the streets, however you can take bits and pieces of it and make it your own. Lucky for guys, style is much easier; trends will always come and go, but more often than not you stick with the basics. I decided to stick with what I know looks good on men. With the right clothes, any man can look hot!

 
























Let’s start with a simple yet crucial detail: shoes. They can make or break any outfit, so instead of popping on those dirty Adidas running shoes on your way out to the market, game or a date, reach for a just as comfortable, but more stylish, pair of Converse, Vans, boat shoes or even sleek high tops. As long as they’re clean and not for workout purposes, you’re all set! 


 
























The second step is knowing how to pick pants that fit. Justin Bieber has been setting a bad example for you boys: the seam of your pants shouldn’t be so close to the floor! A slim or skinny fit is ideal for men nowadays, so ditch the baggy jeans and pants that are so tight you can’t walk… something in between is just fine. 

The last step in making you look your best is the perfect shirt. Boys, pay attention because this is crucial – plaid shirts, Henley’s and plain V-neck tees are your best friend! Basically follow anything that Ryan Gosling or David Beckham would wear and you’re golden. 

Accessorize any way you want: throw on a watch, leather or hemp bracelet or my personal favorite, a beanie.

I leave you with this piece of advice: only a true man can rock a cardigan.

Love, 
Jess
