Men's Style Resources?

[James]

I was talking to some friends the other day about fashion for men.

We were wondering what good magazines/catalogues/online etc resources were available for young men seeking fashion tips.

Stuff, Esquire, and Details were suggested so far. What do you think of them and others?

I know its not masculine, but more guys today seem to be into style then ever before . . .


Also questions for the ladies:

Do you notice the way men dress and does it matter to you in terms of attraction?

How do you like men to dress?

How about Abercrombie and Fitch?
Or I would suggest the International Male. Good luck!

hmmm...A & F would be a great catalog for young men.

Men's Wearhouse - particularly for professional attire. They sell you on the whole package, shirts, slacks, jackets, ties, shoes, etc. I have watched their salesmen work on my husband - LOL - they have their own credit card, and "wouldn't your wife like a card on your account so she can buy you gifts?" But they know their stuff, they've suggested combinations that neither I nor my husband would have thought of, and you know what they say about a well-dressed man, his wife is good at picking out his clothes...

My boyfriend always says "If the manequin has it on, then it must match - good enough for me!"

Most of your men's magazines feature only 'high fashion' stuff -- in the back. $300-$500 shirts, $200 shoes... In other words it's way out of my price range.

Solution: Don't pay any attention to it. Don't buy what's 'in style' but what I like.

Generally speaking though, it's hard to go wrong when you shop at A&F. Formal attire I get through Tom James.. I think they're nation wide but not sure.

Nothing beats a good tailor made suit.

Personally, I like clean cut men with short hair and a preppier sense of style. A man should be well groomed and well dressed. My ex used to get a monthly haircut and manicure and pedicure which made him look really polished. At first it seemed a little girlie to me, but he looked good.

GQ is a good resource for fashion. You can also use a fashion saavy woman as a personal shopper to help you select not only what is fashionable, but what looks good on you.

Playboy

or you could create your own style. trendset

As corporate dominated and one dimensional as it sounds, just go to a place like B.Rep and do some mix and matching...everything is generally classy and are the eternal fashions that won't go out anytime soon....that's why I like so much..

or J. Crew.

Exactly what I was going to say...although I'm not as much into Banana, wear more Abercrombie and Polo stuff.

Structure and Polo are my two favorites, although it's weird the store is still called Structure, but the clothing says Express.
