PRODUCT GIFT GUIDE FOR HIM


December 17, 2015


While the men in our lives might not spend as much as we do on our skin and hair care products they definitely still do use them (even if they don't want to admit it). I mean they want to look and smell good too, so I've round up some ideas to help get you started. 

MENSWEAR MONDAY: HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR YOUR GUY


November 30, 2015


Buying for a guy can be hard because we often think big, but for men the devil is often in the details (but that doesn’t mean small is cheap either). An accessory that you might initially think is small and inconsequential can really help a man stand-out such a pen or a watch, but can also take a good chunk of your Christmas budget. Worry not though, most guys would rather have one valuable tool than numerous ones that go unused. Here’s a couple of small, but valuable tools every man could use.

INDOCHINO SUITED FOR THE HOLIDAYS


November 9, 2015

Custom Menswear

For men, owning a tuxedo is as important as women owning that little black dress (aka: LBD).  The tuxedo, like the LBD, is something that should not only fit well, but also be made well.


Unfortunately, most men struggle with the idea of picking up the hefty price tag associated with a tuxedo (or suit) when they might be wearing them but a few times a year. However, I have a good feeling that this struggle is all about to change with Indochino.com.


Indochino offers luxury made-to-measure suits, tuxedos, shirts and accessories at a very reasonable price. Given the upcoming holiday season and New Year celebrations I thought it would be an ideal time to get my favorite Short Presents model suited up in a great tuxedo while also sharing my experience with all my readers.

Sock It To Ya


April 8, 2013


Put a little spring into your step fellas, and get headed in the right direction! This season it's all about the exposed ankle! To be honest it's really actually an exciting time for menswear, as the clothing for men is becoming slightly more and more bold and less and less boring (Thank God)! Now I will admit I love a good printed sock when I see one, but there is a fine line between pulling off this look. Just remember the crazier doesn't necessarily mean the better!
