Loose fitting clothes – art or deception?

There are reasons why men wear what they wear. And at Style Power we have looked into the psyche of why we do such a thing. Men will usually wear what they are use to or have seen. But they also wear clothes to purposely look good or bad. (I see you’re perplexed) In this instance, loose fitting clothes are to hide something, and in most cases it’s a body that men don’t feel good in. And this is the reason why in our e-book we unpack the archetypes of men as well as disclosing 3 key body shapes to educate you in what will really look good on you, and more importantly make you feel good.

In a word loose fitting clothes represent, sloppy. Eek. (Unless of course you are a rapper). Choose clothes that fit your body. This might take some experimentation by mixing and matching certain cuts and styles until you find the right fit for your body that is flattering; but it is worth the time.

Oscar G doesn’t wear skinny jeans. Oscar G is a real man.

Woopsie!

Oscar G doesn’t wear skinny jeans. Oscar G is a real man.

When Oscar G (a friend of the StyleMeister) posted the following status on Facebook today “ I don’t wear skinny jeans’” he didn’t expect the mad rush of responses. In just an hour, the man had 45 comments of all them giving the man a big nod.

It seems that although we argue endlessly about the ethics of nuclear war, squabble about who killed Michael Jackson and trade blows on Iraq, there’s one thing we all (all?) unanimously agree on – tight, bum squeeze denim is a definite no-no!

See, the bum squeezer only looks great on anorexic female models and some normal chics. The minute real men try and floss in tight jeans they look like human popsicles – their guts and nether parts are suddenly thrown into relief and wait for it … we all begin to question just how comfortable they are with themselves, (and their sexuality) if they’re constantly mincing around in skeletal jeans and tight trousers.

When you’re trying too hard to fit it all in, it doesn’t work and it shows!

So unless you’re a ditsy Zac Efron, The Jonas Bros, an alien from outer space, Robin Hood or an all American baseball player whose being paid millions to wear them, puhleeeesssse avoid the bum squeezer!

Skinny jeans don’t live here gents because Style 101 for Men is for real men … not posers!

Kanye West Rocks Denim!

Denim Locked Down

Denim is quite simply the most universal fabric of all time. And the innovation around it today, with great speed to market, allows your guys to pick and choose what you like. But are you choice fatigued yet?

There are literally thousands of great brands and labels out there; blackened and blue denim; colour washes, neutralised palettes, sustainable fabrics, power stretches and stitch detail. It’s an enormous range to comprehend.

However you can pick up great jeans at the $100 to $200 mark; just remember to pick a great fit for your hips and NO sagging beltlines gents – it’s sad, bad and shady.

Our pick brand; All in One, who’re starting to use metallic threads in the detail and quite frankly, if you’re going to be paying US$400 for a pair of jeans, make sure people know they are liquid gold!

WORD! Rumour has it Kanye West recently met up with bosses of clothing firm Religion in Shoreditch, to possibly launch his own line of credible, yet prestigious, denim designs. Religion has developed as a trendy label among celebs and Kate Moss and Sarah Harding are big fans of the line. Can’t wait to see the man with the golden voice try his hand at Jeans Locked Down.
