If the term style icon applied to anybody, it would most certainly be David Beckham. His sense of style is such an inspiration to men around the world. It is no secret that he loves to experiment with fashion and hairstyles yet it doesn’t diminish his masculinity one bit. In fact, it has made him all the more Appealing and the subject of countless articles and magazine covers. He is living proof that it’s not only okay for guys to care about the way they look, but it’s cool to do so. As alot of david beckham fans know, in his younger day he try a few different looks he didn’t exactly pull off, including hairstyles. but as he’s grew older his look is at the top of his game in a suit and still as good casual when he’s chilling watching basketball in america. Here is just a quick look at some of his smartest and smoothest looks, right down to his most casual looks. Either way the lad looks good in anything!

Becks loves a pair of Dark brown leather shoes with fitted black trousers and usually a white shirt underneath a blazer or waistcoat, the look with the armbands round the biceps could be something to look out for in the future. Becks pulled this off a long time ago, but with the old 50’s-60’s style coming back in this could be something to try for a smart event.

Becks seems to like a plain shirt, or plain tee. with a pair of baggy jeans or cargo shorts and then finished off with a pair of boots, flip flops and standard trainers. sometime she may even throw a thin scarf or beanie hat into it aswell. it’s such a smple and easy look to pull off.

Another thing which makes becks stand out alot and finishes off his looks are his tattoos. as some of you may know, the sleeve tattoo has become a sort of trend since beckham got his, even other footballers have followed in his footsteps and gone for the full sleeve. heres some pictures of his sleeves

The key to an Autumn wardrobe is mixing it up. In the past few years men have been reintroduced to a more dressed up look. Now feeling more comfortable with the idea they are ready to update the look by mixing and matching some key pieces. The blazer has become a must have to every man’s wardrobe. Versatility of this piece is vital when choosing your new blazer for Autumn.  Here are a few tips to guide you in the right direction in choosing a blazer:

• The blazer can be worn day to evening and should be able to work with various looks.
• A denim blazer will work for day time when paired with a fine knit sweater or can be brought to an evening look when put over a bold woven shirt (think novelty clip spots, or a small scale check shirt updated in bright colors).
• Tweed and herringbone can also be versatile options for a blazer. Look for updates to these classic fabrics in color and scale. Classic browns and blacks for tweeds and herringbones are accented with a royal blue, orange or other vivid colored yarn dyes.
• The fun part about the Autumn season is taking the blazer and pairing it with a complementing trouser. You don’t have to worry about having an exact match.
• Use the tweed blazer with a Deep V-neck and your favorite pair of dark washed denim or Skinny jeans.

• The way of putting them together is that the look is not fussy or contrived. It’s about feeling comfortable with these pieces and using different fabrics, constructions and weaves to create some surface interest/visual appeal.Take Tom Ford’s 2009 collections for example, it shows exactly how to pull off a blazer with variations of clothing and look ridiculously Smart and Suave.

On any night out now in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol etc. you will see a lot of stylish men rocking a blazer. I’m not talking what you used to wear to school or even the really formal suit jackets you wear for work – I am talking a more relaxed blazer jacket which has a bit of flair. Enough to make you look smart, with clean cut lines, but with a more relaxed, fashionable feel.

How To Wear A Blazer

Always make sure the fit is still slim and fitted. When you buy “off the rack” most of the big designers like Vivienne Westwood or Ralph Lauren will still come with a great cut and it’s just about getting the right size. If you go for a more budget fashion store then the fit might not be perfect, but you can easily get a local tailor or seamstress to take the blazer in at the right places and give it a perfect fit on you. These services literally only cost around ten to twenty pounds normally for a great job and will make it look like the blazer has cost hundreds more.

For a casual look that many will wear out on a night out you can go a completely different way; wear normal, fitted or skinny jeans, a Graphic T-shirt and throw the blazer on over the top. You can rock this with a nice relaxed Tasseled Loafer or Boat shoe. This gives off a definite relaxed vibe but will make you come across as stylish just from the fact you have put that little extra effort in with the blazer setting it all off. It adds clean cut style to your image and an impression of wealth.

Handkerchiefs

It can be difficult to get away with bold, bright colors, whether you are a man or a woman. However, men in particular have to be careful about flourishing in vibrant colors, at least on some occasions.

There is no question, however, that a bright spot or vibrant accenting piece in your ensemble can give it what it needs to be edgy. In certain cases, doing so can even lend an elegance and sophistication to what you are wearing. Such as when you give in to the return of handkerchiefs as accent pieces.

With a hanky in your front pocket, you can accentuate your outfit without overwhelming, as a brightly colored jacket might do. You typically want to make your handkerchief match a color in your shirt, tie, etc. or at least make it complementary.

Do not be a cheapskate with your handkerchiefs, either. The standard white one can take you far, but definitely do not be afraid of bolder colors, such as burgundy, a dark green, pale blues — even purple is sometimes acceptable.

At first glance, the graphic tee seems almost self-explanatory—throw it on over some jeans, slip on your trusted Converse and your off on your way, alot of celebritys  demonstrate this laid back high end of summer look.

Even though a graphic tee is typically associated with easygoing outfits, with a little creativity you can turn the outfit into a fashion-forward look. But All Saints have took it to another level, and designed these great and highly detailed t-shirts that will make you stand out in such a simple get-up outfit. what i love most about them is that you can chuck on a pair of short-shorts or jeans, a fresh pair of Converse or Boat shoes, a pair of summery shades and your outfit is sorted. if the weather changes you can throw on a summer knit and it will still go great together. so at no more than £35 for these t-shirts they are definitely a must for your wardrobe at this time of the year.

So take a look at the Tees and let me know what you think, they are all availiable from All Saints.

“Starting a clothing range called Pretty Green, the reason why I’m doin’ its cause i love clothes. Just gonna do clothes I like. If people like it, cool. If they don’t, they don’t.”

Music, men’s fashion, business. There are few fields that Kanye West hasn’t dabbled into, yet all his ventures end up doing better than the last one. A regular at fashion and music events all over the United States, West is well-known for his keen eye for luxury and a bold taste in clothes that’s challenging for even the most stylish of men.

His Fashion Philosophy
West listens less to the rules and more to his own instincts on style to tell him how stuff should be worn. If something looks good on him, chances are that he’ll end up wearing it to a red carpet event or three. Like many of today’s most fashionable males, West believes that any piece of clothing should first and foremost be comfortable. Unless it feels good on him, it’s unlikely that he’ll wear even the trendiest jeans.

Boldness is one of the Kanye West signatures when it comes to men’s fashion. His own style is distinct with his generous use of big, bright colors to amp up even the shyest and most conservative of outfits. The resulting look is neither hip-hop nor Saks Fifth Avenue, but rather a modern elegance that has more than a little bit of in-your-face attitude.

Sneak a peek at one of his latest collaborations, a design effort with fashion megalith Louis Vuitton. West came on board and designed a whole new line of shoes for the mega-brand’s men’s fashion arm, and the whole set stomped the runways at Paris Fashion Week in January 2009. The line carries his signature style and boldness, as well as a fondness for bright color that dares to stick it to the ‘accepted’ rules of dress.

Copping the Look
Get comfortable with color. Bright color is a central theme in the Kanye West dress code, and you can’t fully get his look without it. But that doesn’t mean you should wear Day-Glo shades just for the heck of it; you should look good in it too. By all means make extensive use of the store’s mirrors and fitting rooms. Chances are good that just one or two colors will look really good when worn on your skin.

Even with his fondness for color, though, West never looks like a neon billboard on two legs. Avoid wearing more than a single bright color throughout your entire outfit, and keep it to just accessories, the accent pieces or a single key item. Sometimes it takes very little to make the boldest statements, and West knows that.

Always trust your mirror. Check yourself in a full-length mirror before stepping out. If something seems uncomfortable or amiss, change; there’s probably something really wrong with the outfit. It’s what the real Kanye would probably do.

Invest in jackets, jeans and pants. Not one to be seen often in suits, West seems to prefer stepping out in a jacket and jeans ensemble instead. But the combo doesn’t have to look scruffy. Even when he’s skipping the suit and tie, West buys quality brands and pays to get the tailored fit so that he’s always looking sharp. Do the same.
