JUSTIN O'SHEA

O'Shea! 

For those who don't know who this fabulous man is, he's the buyer for MyTheresa.com and famously known for his impeccable style and bad boy looks. All I have to say is I'm all about it. A man with rugged qualities and a sharp style is a 10 in my book. There's a way about his demeanor and fashion sense that is absolutely effortless, and if you know me I'm all for effortless style. If you think about it, he goes with the basics: slacks, blazers, and dress shirt. Simple and to the point, I like it!

ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS

It's truly ALL about the details, whether you're male or female it's extremely important. Paying attention and adding personal touches here and there can go a long way. The real question is, why don't men take that extra time in those details to make themselves look well put together? 

Why do they think it's so hard?

When in fact, it's the simple touches like a pocket square, tie clip, or even suspenders that will can make a gigantic difference. Not only do you look sharp and put together, but everyone is going to think, "wow now that's an individual that takes care of themselves and wants to be well presented." Yes, we live in a world where physical appearance is everything and that starts with what you're wearing. Detailed touches is JUST as important as wearing shoes before leaving the house. It's your personal style and you'll feel naked without it.

MEN AND THEIR BAGS

The intriguing topic of men and the bags that they SHOULD be carrying. 

When you hear bags, most people tend to think of women and their purses, but not men and their bags. Why is that?

It's true, men do carry bags but it's not a worldwide topic that people want to discuss. It's an element that many don't put an emphasis on. 

Maybe they're ashamed and don't want to portray themselves as too feminine? 

Maybe they're just SO into their bags that they don't want other men to know about which chic bag that they're carrying? 

It's intriguing...I KNOW! 

I understand that men have their universal wallets to carry their ID, cash, credit cards, and possibly other unmentionable possessions. I also understand that there are briefcases and backpacks that men carry to hold their things for the day. But what about the chic bags that so many designers have produced for these fabulous men to carry? Why are these guys hiding their fabulous bags? 

Men (straight, gay or both) need to carry more of their bags, it's useful and it's chic. I know some men don't care nor do they know what chic entails but it's something to think about. It adds something to that sleek suit you're wearing or it adds an extra grunge element to your already great grunge look that you got going on for that day. 

So my point is, it depends on how you want to portray yourself fellas. Don't have this preconceived notion and write it off so quickly that a bag is a feminine element of a man's outfit. You can make it whatever you want to be! Just make sure you rock it like there's no tomorrow! 

Here are some bags to test out...

Mismo Canvas Backpack
Ted Baker London Leather Satchel
Steve Mono 'Woody' Portfolio
Ghurka Leather Messenger Bag
Frye 'Logan' Messenger Bag

ZARA - MAN

Ph: Zara

Zara's campaign screams fall/winter with great style and sophistication. The shots were taken in black & white, which creates a great vibe for the campaign. The coats on the models look perfect and it brings the look together. I love a great coat and these are absolutely fantastic. Not only are these great for guys, but for girls as well and  you can dress it up (with great slacks, button up, and tie) or dress it down (with jeans and t-shirt). These coats are essential for this winter to look great while staying warm.  

THE WAY I DRESS: MR. JOHANNES HUEBL

The Way I Dress: Mr. Johannes Huebl

For awhile now, love it grab it wear it has been all about woman and woman's fashion.  Gradually I received comments from a hand full of men who asked me to have one for men's fashion. At first I was intrigued, because men's fashion is just as important as woman's fashion but yet it's been neglected (especially on my site). So, I was quick to say yes and here is my first post. Many more to come so get ready!

As for the fabulously well dressed Mr. Huebl in the interview, he definitely gives an easier outlook for men to be able to dress up and feel confident. All it takes is a phenomenal tailor and a sense of your personal style.
