Suited Man Swag

In second year I will be introduced to the male figurine; the male basic blocks and eventually how to make men's clothes.  I am more than excited about this.  This is a field I have never felt comfortable treading into; and is looking forward to getting formal training in.

I have always appreciated men who put effort into their appearance.  Don't get me wrong, I am not saying they should compete with their female counterparts when it comes to personal care but all men should always look presentable... and if he smell good its a bonus. 

In my early youth I was in love with men who looked amazing in a good pair of jeans.  There is a certain way a pair of jeans sits on a man that just looks perfect; as though the jeans were made so he could find them.  No boys it is not the 'sagging' look that is frequenting most boys who are supposedly following 'hip hop' culture; nor is it the super tight skinny jeans.  They sit where they should, have the right amount of masculine detail and are always paired with a great top and always always great shoes.

Shoes...I love shoes; be it female or male.  I find myself shopping in men's shoe stores for no reason at all.  Just to appreciate the looks, the finish, the smell of footwear and the swag that any man carries with a pair of good shoes.  A friend of mine taught me that a man should have great shoes, a great belt, and preferably a good watch.

In my later youth days as I get nearer to my thirties I have come to appreciate 'The Suit'.  Hmmmmmmmm...there is nothing more delicious to see than a man in a well tailored suit.  I believe a man can be any shape or build; if he is in a well tailored suit he is automatically 'hot'.  This is the reason I am super excited about second year at fashion shcool; the goal is to make amazing well fitted suits for all the men in my life.  I have realised that most of them actually don't know how what a great suit is; they settle for sets that department stores offer them...yes there is a difference.

As much as the world demands women to be prettied up all the time; I believe men should join the club too.  Why must we look amazing and make them look good; how about we both make the effort and become a powerhouse.  No please don't pluck your eyebrows, don't wax, don't do botox or go under the knife...oooohh! There are still so many avenues to explore in men's fashion before going that extreme. So boys no more box pants (those straight looking things with the 'iron' line!), no square toe shoes, no badly maintained nails(toes too!), no bad hair, no bad smells, no dry skin (including your feet), and save us from super tight clothing! Lets rather go for 'swag' with little effort.

Ta,
Budgie
