change we can believe in, men's fashion I

With super-leader Obama’s policies altering life as we know it all across the US of A, it seems the still-popular idea of CHANGE has finally made it into the White House, centre of appalling fashion since JFK. Corporate uniforms of stuffy, shapeless suits have been eradicated in favour of baseball caps, leather jackets and (gasp) rolled up sleeves. So long Nixon and your sock garters, aurevoir Reagan and your starched shirts, the younger generation’s in power now; so undo that top button and burn your ties, if Obama can do it, so can you.

attack of cool dad, men's fashion II


No longer just a penchant for aging Teddy boys or transparently-closeted interior designers, velvet has been given the ultimate man-seal of approval by Mickey Rourke, who was recently seen sporting a fetching blue velvet number. Just a word of warning however; err on the side of caution, trendy dad David Cameron already pioneered the look with an ill-advised black suit a few years back.

man up for a day...lad's mag fashion

Four things women will be wearing this summer that men will love:

Nude, Sheer Fabrics
As if summer wasn’t glorious enough already, clever designers have spawned a crafty trend rendering what few items of clothing women will be wearing, see-through. Brilliant.

Grecian Goddess Draping
Clothing pick of Helen of Troy, famously the most beautiful woman to ever grace our humble planet, this wispy, elegant style is coming soon to a female near you.

Sky-high heels
The taller the better, this trend ensures packs of long-legged lovelies will
be a dime a dozen this summer. But try not to get too excited; they can also
be used as a highly effective weapon.

Eighties
Despite the fact our womenfolk more resemble American football players than their previously dainty selves, these shoulder pads, seen first time around on eighties fave, the power suit, are somehow strangely sexy.

And, two they’ll hate:

Harem trousers,
Think MC Hammer’s billowing pantaloons, now imagine them on your girlfriend.

Brogues
Seeing ladies strut around in our clothes is normally something we’re far from averse to, but when this trend extends to our shoes, we’re somehow not quite so turned on.
