Everybody wants to dress like the next "big thing", but many people are forgetting before the next "big things" came out they were already owning there own style that just transcended with them into the Rock World. I'm here to teach you a couple of key ingredients  to the fashion attire that will keep you subtle, but at the same time head of the class when it comes to eye candy in any situation.

First, stop trying. Good fashion will always come from what feels right and what never can feels wrong. So first easy staple that always gets people to look in your direction are jackets. Weather they be an original members only piece that you found a'killer thrift, an old classic black Levi's jean jacket that you scored from a Good Will, or a diamond in the rough leather jacket you picked up from your dad's closet boys the point is you don't have to go drop 1,000 dollars to look cool you just need to find one jacket that fits your new mold.

Second, keep the undershirt simple but classy. If your living in'a hotter climate keep it comfy with a V-cut white tee underneath, don't try to blind people with a million studs of tasteless shit that are so evenly spread apart, I mean come on, try to act your age gentlemen and keep it taste full. But lets say you don't live in those hotter climates I recommend that to addition with that classic V-neck shirt or crew, you add an additional layer with a long sleeve button up flannel with some colors. You'll find everybody now-a-days is making insane flannels as cheap as 25 bones to 160, pending where you are but don't trow to much color into the mix, keep the flannel colors neutral , ya know like colors that can match your belt with your shoes, dark reds, blacks, grays, dark greens, rust, blue, colors along that trend don't make the bad decision and get all the high flying colors underneath, save that for 15 yr olds.

Third bit, pants can be tricky but the great thing about mens denim there are a'ton of brands out there today that can suit any man. This is were you don't want to go cheap for obvious reasons the pants bring the whole outfit together so don't be cheap here gentlemen feel free to bust out the card for this purchase. But if you cant do that then always stick with Levi's, they have that lifetime fit'feel to them, there always a deal for 70 bones or less and they throw different bits of style on the denim so they say a lot without costing a lot but for all those other who can throw some money on the bottom part of your outfit feel free to check out some brands such as Seven for all Mankind, Joe's Jeans(darker washes), William Rast(Jt's line), Stitches denim. This is a little start for you cats who haven't got into mens denim yet, its a huge world but find what fits you not what everbody else is wearing.

Good luck gentlemen with the new you, remember keep it simple and tasteful, feel free to raise the bar and get some assories that fit to your style, like rings and necklaces but don't go over the top. Make like Julian-Casablancas(the picture up top) and rock what you know not what not what everybody wants. Oh, and always please match your belt with your shoe color.
