I don't know about you, but we all like a little bit of variety. Sometimes, something special can be so captivating when dressed in something fabulous. Check out my evening mint chocolate box for example.

It doesnt matter how plain you are, what you wear on the outside will simply change your whole perspective.

In the first of my - hopefully helpful - blog entries on Fashion for men, i'll be looking at this years trends, from head to toe. I'll cover jackets, suits, shirts, cardigans, belts, accecories, scarfs, briefs and underwear, socks and end finally with shoes. I want to give you all a rounded understanding of what Male fashion is, and where it should be.

The hairstyles for the upcoming season is a natural and almost minimalist look often appearing bereft of idea. According to Vogue and Toni&Guy, 2011 Autum/Winter will see a revival to continue the combination of shorter side and rear sides and longer lengths above. I was reading the other day in Septembers Vogue that shorter styles are being strengthened by the difference between their lengths. The shorter sides and longer hair on top of the head, the sharper and more "edgy" your look. Fact.

Long hair for men for the upcoming season is not really a trend, although some of the shoots in GQ show the more distinguished models with longer hair, such as Iceberg and Ermanno Scervino. Longer hair creates a distinctive look and these models (including Marlon Teixeira Brazilian top model who is just outstanding!) does not remain unnoticed. Long hair is now more choice and an individual characteristic of a certain lifestyle.Careful, you guys out there, who like a quick and easy style. Long hair needs care and attention. Ask your girlfriend/partner/wife...

The trend for the coming season is clear: short (er) hair at the sides, back, and long (er) over lengths. Try it out.
