Your Platonic Girlfriend

ManRapunzel. In my early tweens I vowed to never date a man with longer hair than me. Recently, we’ve seen a resurgence in the man-do and I have to say, I’m pretty okay with this. What is a man-do you ask? Definition: hair long enough to create a pony tail, pulled away from the man’s face secured with an elastic band or pins. Derived from the traditional up-do most commonly associated with prom queens and flower girls, unlike the up-do, the man-do isn’t reserved for special occasions, rather this style is confidently rocked as a go-to everyday look. If you are man that can whip your hair back and forth with the equal or greater velocity than Willow herself, consider the man bun as the preferred hairstyle over the Cousin It look that many long haired lads end up with. The man-do only works if it is worn confidently—and nothing is more attractive than confidence.

A wise friend once told me that if you wear sweats in public you have given up on life.University students toiling away in libraries is one of the few exceptions to this rule.We’re not pulling all-nighters anymore but if you must plead the “I just wanna be comfortable” defence, here are a few options that won’t make you look like you’re in a fraternity house:  Look for detail - Details like buttons, pockets, coloured stitching, elbow patches, can elevate the look. Avoid logos. Especially if you got the sweatshirt for free or from a campus bookstore. Layer - wear sweatshirts over a collared shirt Nice bottoms- don’t pair sweats with sweats. Go for dark or coloured denim or chino.  Fit - you don’t like moo-moos on us and we don’t like them on you. Pick a sweatshirt that fits closer to the body. Note: Good fit + stretch cotton can highlight your guns…but it shouldn’t look like you bought it from GapKids [sweats by Topman]

02/23 - new Clarks

Probably one of the most versatile casual shoe you will own.

Wear these with jeans, cords, khakis.

Take a note from James Franco behind the scenes of new series of fashion vids for 7 for All Mankind. Get a denim shirt. Make sure it fits well and there isn’t any painted brand names on it. A classic, fitted denim or chambray shirt [pronounced SHAHM’ BRAY] shirt is an essential and insta-cool addition to your collared shirt arsenal. 

In the trenches. You might need to ditch that sumo-wrestler costume of a parka you’ve been sporting for the past couple months.  Spring is upon us (hopefully sooner than later). Enter, the trench coat, a men’s outerwear essential. (It might seem that I throw that word around a lot but I only do it because it’s essential that I do so). Why would one of my male friends in my age group disagree with this statement? Because the trench has two stigmas: one, it’s for older gentlemen and two, it’s for flashers.  The classic double-breasted trench reminiscent of Dick Tracy or Humphrey Bogart might explain the former. The anti-aging solution? Choosing a trench in a different hue other than the traditional camel or khaki like an army green, navy or grey. Also, small accents like distressed or brushed metal, coloured buttons or leather gives the look a modern, youthful spin.  [Burberry Leather Patch Trench]
