Because, strutting for no one in front of an artistic installation. (See other artistic installation posing). Long coats are making a come back this season as evinced in the SS14 shows. High fashion labels like Burberry, Dries Van Noten and Fendi sent models down the runway in light-weight jackets that stopped slightly above the knee or at […]

Because, green shiny metal. Metallic is without a doubt still a high fashion trend that might take a few seasons to cross over into mainstream menswear or perhaps even never. When Prada and Burberry sent models down the runway for their AW2011 and SS2013 respectively, the fashion world celebrated the metallic intensity but many questioned […]

It goes without saying that every man should own a pair of decent black dress shoes as should he own a long sleeve white dress shirt. Well-made black dress shoes are timeless classics that can be worn for most occasions and it is nearly impossible to go wrong with them (do note the adjectives “decent” […]

Because, only the fashion would drape. Floral has flourished steadily over the last few seasons and when it is is seen on influential men like Nick Wooster and Simone Marchetti, it is easy to understand how this pattern has fast become a menswear staple. Unlike checks and stripes, floral is a vivid, bold print and […]

Because, big f%#king boat. Period. Most guys would assume that ties are only reserved for the corporate world or formal occasions such as weddings or races. While there is truth to that, a tie is ultimately worn for decorative purposes and when adorned outside of the normal circumstances, it instantly spruces up an outfit and […]

There are only a handful of Australian menswear brand and that number is further reduced when it comes to relevance within the menswear market. M.J. Bale sits successfully in that category, offering supremely tailored, intelligently designed formal and ready to wear garments for discerning gentlemen. The AW14 collection titled “The Winter Pursuits Of […]

Because, in front of rocks for no reason except that it’s fashion. Even though men have become more stylish with their sartorial choices, accessorising (specifically hat-wearing) is still an area that seems to lack in numbers. Hats, like bags, have to be a certain style before men would commit to them. Just like backpacks, there […]

Because, legs opened wide and ready to cut. Leather jackets are often associated with subcultures such as motorcyclists, military aviators, metalheads, punks and it is no wonder that fashionistas are using them to portray an intimidating appearance and to achieve that essence of cool. However a leather jacket is not an easy garment to pull […]

Because, tweeting details that no one cares about while posing like the camera isn’t there. These days, pink is associated with sensitivity, tenderness and ultimately femininity. This gender stereotype was interestingly reversed at the turn of the century where pink was the colour for boys and blue for girls. Pink was considered a stronger colour […]

Because channelling that pensive in black and white. While there are some fashionistas who religiously embrace black only like most Australians embrace vegemite, it is highly not recommended to wear a fully black ensemble unless you are one of those living such a lifestyle. A head-to-toe black outfit can suggest laziness and come across as […]

Because, taking camo to the next level with a manskirt. A man-skirt is not an item of clothing I am expecting many to wear. As much as men are becoming more aware of style and audacious in their dress sense, there is still a certain taboo when it comes to putting on a skirt. If […]

Because, wearing a coat as a “dress” (thanks Anna Dello Russo). Let us be honest, not many would own a sleeveless coat let alone wear one on its own. Its functionality during the colder season would be less than ideal and during the warmer season, the Australian culture and mentality would see people braving wind […]

Because, on a footpath pretending it is a runway. (More runway pretending here). Guys in colours is still a rare sight with most men opting to dress down and “appropriately” for their age (ie choosing swatches such as grey, navy, khaki and black). Although colours are not easy to pull off, it essentially is about […]

Because, he on the phone to no one in front of an artistic installation. More phone posing here. These days guys are more conscious of their sartorial choices and often dress up in button-up shirts, tapered trousers, dress shoes etc. With that trend becoming a common sight, it is proving a challenge to stand out […]
