Fashion for Men - An Introduction

The world of fashion has always been something embraced by women and loathed by men.  I'm here to try to change the notion that "fashion is gay" or that "fashion is for girls".  Every man, woman, and child should have the opportunity to look their best no matter the occasion!  The problem with such an ideal, however, is that men's fashion is so poorly supported in the United States, and arguably most of the world, that finding great outfits (let alone affordable ones) for men is daunting and near impossible.

My mission is to change this!

To an extent, it feels like men's fashion has never really taken hold in Western culture and in that realization, I weep!  Okay, not really...but it does sadden me to know that men's fashion has always been, and seems that it will remain for some time, an afterthought.  Women's fashion is so versatile, so robust, and so prominent in consumer-based societies that men wind up admiring the ensembles rather than creating them.

Of course, there are extremes and exceptions to every argument, so let's not argue over semantics, please!  The purpose of fashion is to have a functional, yet appealing, manner of dress that compliments one's body, personality, and statement.  The interest of men in fashion, however, is 9 times of 10 as an admirer not a creator.

I am here to attempt to turn that practice upside down and help men understand that the rules and tricks of fashion that women have utilized for generations can be applied to male fashion as well!  What truly makes an ensemble praise-worthy is attention to detail such as color or pattern scheme, use of appropriate accessories (or lack thereof), and the knowledge of what clothes compliment your physique!

Sadly, today I will not be providing any fascinating and mind-blowing tips, tricks, or tools but rather I wanted to get my page out there to draw some potential readers to help my blog grow to what it can become!
