Male Fashion

The revolution in male’s fashion has been increasing in pace for a number of years now. Initially, the popularity of the ‘metrosexual’ world - used to refer to fashionable men who dressed well and appear good – conveyed the mounting male knowledge of fashion to the vanguard.

Though in previous years a lot of men have started to pay attention in clothing and fashion. The popularity in male fashion awareness has a lot to do with the appearance of popular style symbols as domestic names. Trends in male’s fashion have frequently been branded by cultural forms: from the idiosyncratic garments of David Bowie and Mick Jagger to the unique haircuts of anybody from Kevin Keegan to The Beatles. But with the dramatic achievement of David Beckham as a well-costumed famous person in the renown all through the 1990s, it became trendy to be trendy again - and men seemed to begin taking sensitive care of their hair, clothes, and general facade.

While some other well-known sportsmen - like Kevin Petersen and Amir Khan - have been creating inroads into world of the fashion industry, it’s instrumentalists that are principal the new age bracket of male style symbols these days. Pete Doherty’s bond with Kate Moss, every chapter of which has been carefully catalogued in the journalists, instantaneously ventured him into the awareness of fashion gurus the world above, making him an instantaneous fashion idol of men fanatical to continue with up-and-coming fashion trends and styles.

Style Icon AskMan: Cristiano Ronaldo

Why He’s A Style Icon This Portuguese footballer has what it takes on and off the pitch because his on-field athleticism makes being fashionable that much easier. Clothes do not hang off his shoulders, they drape as he moves. And when he’s out of uniform, he’s always seen pulling off an understated, laid-back, European-inspired look with his wardrobe -- from fitted white dress shirts to cropped leather bombers to slim-fit suits. His easy-going smile belies his dominance for Manchester United and his desire to help Portugal in World Cup qualifying matches. However, there is always a youthful and direct nature to his time spent away from the game that is evident in his own personal style. Cristiano Ronaldo’s casual take on youthful and modern fashion is something the sporting world needs more of this year.

Dress The Ronaldo Way

Dressing like a world-class footballer requires playing to your own strengths and mixing sports wear -- not sports gear -- into your everyday wardrobe. For Cristiano Ronaldo, his physique helps him pull off slim-fitting and modern apparel, and this is what gives him a fashionable edge over his other sportive comrades. Ermenegildo Zegna’s Sport line is the perfect match for the sporting man of fashion. Zegna Sport capitalizes on a slimmer fit with higher arm holes that accentuate the torso and shoulders. This design is clearly evident in this wool and cashmere half-zip sweater. It allows you to look like a world-class sportsman while leaving your football kit at home.

Style Icon: Warren Beatty

Why He’s A Style Icon

Warren Beatty’s on-screen and off-screen life has been framed by fashion since his days in the early 1960s as a teen idol. His characters have been shaped with the use of wardrobe and evolved as he transcended the pretty poster-boy image to become an irreverent filmmaker with a conscience. Wardrobe was essential to Warren Beatty for his classic film, Bonnie and Clyde, but his portrayal of a Beverly Hills hairdresser in Shampoo portrays ultimate Warren Beatty fashion. He is resplendent in leather boots, slim-cut jeans, layered shirts, and an ever-present leather jacket.

Dress The Beatty Way

Let’s be honest: Warren Beatty is a man who can wear the best of suits, but his own personal style of an open-collar shirt worn under a hip-length leather jacket permeates many of his best on-screen roles. From The Parallax View, Shampoo, Heaven Can Wait, and Love Affair, Beatty’s characters seem to rely on this semi-casual style. He even follows this same fashion template when promoting his films. In the early 1990s, while making the talk show rounds to promote Dick Tracy, Warren Beatty wore the same hip-length, black leather jacket, matching button-down shirt, brown trousers, and crepe-soled, oxford cap-toe shoes. And since leather jackets are oh-so Beatty, you can add some of his sophisticated style to your own wardrobe with this Michael Kors brown leather jacket, which has proportions that could easily be mistaken as the famous Shampoo jacket Beatty wore as he bed-hopped his way through Beverly Hills.
