I Die For A Man In Sperry's

So for my communications class I had to post on my blog something about the world around me. The choices were fashion, TV, or movies. I decided to get specific and post about my feelings on Men's fashion. So I am NO fashionista. I am not very adventurous when it comes to my own style in clothes, but I am very very opinionated about Men's fashion. A boy who dresses well can get ANY Girl. I, myself think fashionable boys are attractive but I prefer my men to be simple and laid back, BUT here are my own personal favs on an XY Chromosome and I am going to start from the bottom and work myself up.

I believe every man should have four different types of shoes.
semi-formal causal shoes
perfect example... the Sperry-topsider
I DIE for a man in sperry's!
Athletic inspired sneaker
They are boys after all but you have to retire the vans that you've been wearing since 6th grade and update to a new, modern and more mature look and that this what these two shoes do. 

Then you know a boy has become a man when he wears a nice driving moc. These are perfect for a casual day at the office, a date, or just a day when you feel like dressing a little bit nice, minus the suit and tie. 
Then the staple in every boys wardrobe... a nice dress shoe. This is a MUST!!! 
Socks
It might sound stupid, but if you are wearing a nice dress shoe and then you sit down and flash your white gym socks, you might as well of wore your vans with your suit.
I personally love when boys show a little argyle but if that's not your thing ALWAYS wear dress socks with your dress shoes. Don't be caught wearing deacon socks!
 Jeans
First things first, girls do not like when guys wear their jeans, so NO girl pants. That's just SO gross! But just because we don't like them tight doesn't mean we like them falling off you, so the happy medium between skin tight, and gangster status is fitted. Girls like to see fitted things on guy. Everyone has their own preferences about jean washes, but I personally prefer dark washes, but that is up to you, but the big ostentatious stitching on the rump is SOO out so keep it simple and staying on your waist.
Pants
  A real man mixes it up, which means he is not always in his jeans. Embrace other forms of below the waist attire, you will be pleasantly surprised by how much you will love other colors and textures.
Every guy should own a nice pair of fitted cords. They go with SO many things and make your bottom half really pop... in a good way. 
Every guy needs a nice trouser pant
 also a casual khaki never hurts either

Watches
Watches are IN and boy oh boy do they look good on a guy. Boys don't leave the house without a watch and since you can find them for pretty cheap, you'll want to have a few different ones to go with different looks and occasions.
This would look great with a suit

this is a good casual watch for everyday wear
Shirts
 These are nice shirts that look good with jeans or khakis
If you are into the casual side of things... 
Every guy should own at least a few cardigans... they are sensational on XY Chromosomes
Don't get too wrapped up in the cardigans that you forget to get a nice, fitted v-neck sweater
Okay for the record there is absoultley nothing more attractive then a guy in a nice, fitted suit! Don't be afraid to dress up boys.
 Don't forget the pocket square
Ties
Okay these are very important. Ties are not always formal things that choke someone by the neck. They are like a womans neckalce

This is a little on the formal side and the clip never hurts :)
This is on the casual side and very fun to mix and match with different shirts

This project is over and I am happy!
