>Hey guys listen up. I’m about to bless you with the full coverage of the best looks for Spring 2009. Take it from me, women love a man who can dress. Why? A well dressed man exudes a certain sexiness and confidence that can’t be touched. Let’s take a quick peek of a few prime specimen who have clearly been doing it as of late. You may call them metros, but have you ever asked yourself why these men are always seen with the baddest chicks in Hollywood. Let’s view them at their best.


Jay and Bey


Kanye and Alexis- O how I miss thee…


Nelly and Ashanti


Sean and Kim (hey this is a fashion blog people!)


Will and Jada

Paris fashion week was crazy! Not that I went, hope to get there one day, but the fashion was ah-mazing! A hunky, hairy stud was sent down the runway in Vivienne Westwood, male models stomp the cat walk in wedges for Fendi, old male models, men in ultra skimpy swim wear, and just about everything on the opposite side of usual. Nevertheless, it was a much needed breath of fresh air to see men pushing the envelope. Take a look. I wouldn’t suggest you take these looks literally, but if you love fashion you should appreciate it.

Ok those looks were just for fun. Now let’s get down to business. Here are the five things that every man needs in his closet.

1. A nice black suit. Not to tight, not to baggy. It should be tailored to your body type.
2. Skinny black tie. Throw out those old school color blocked, church ties and opt for one that’s sleek. It does a great job of broadening the chest.

3. A neutral suit. This is your dining out for brunch suit. I would go a few shades darker for a grey or khaki version. Neutrals are really hot because you can have fun with accessories.

Calvin Klein

4. Man Purse. Please don’t let the word purse scare you. The days of looking like a cool-funky-fresh b-boy are OVER. Please stop rocking the colorful book bags and go for a nice leather bag.

Just kidding…

Belstaff Menswear

5. A cool pair of Wayfarer’s, a la Tom Cruise in Risky Business. Aviators are cool but if you want to look fashion forward try this pair from Urban Outfitters.
