Matt Solis and Corwin Wolfglenn, West Seattle High School students, demonstrate what's "in" for male style right now.
What exactly is a fashionisto? Well, it’s a guy who follows trends or creates trends of fashion. Yes, that’s right; guys can be fashionable as well. Ladies: we’re not the only ones who care about what we wear - guys do too, just in their own way.
So what are the latest celebrity guy’s fashion? The tailored, long-sleeve, button-down shirt with a suit and tie is a top pick. It’s stylish and classy, great for a special night out. Hugh Jackman was noticed at the Grammy’s for this outfit.
The celebs on a regular out-and-about day keep it fashionable, but casual. A nice T-shirt and jeans are always fashionable. Zac Efron is a good example of this style. Although he is irritating to most, Efron dresses casual but keeps it fashionable. One of his outfits are plaid, button- down shirts with the sleeves to the elbow, faded jeans, and converse.
A regular T-shirt with a nice fitted blazer and jeans have been seen on him as well. Both of these outfits are trendy and can be found at lots of stores.
For the colder days, wearing a nice fitted sweater, blazer, or trench coat will work.
Not every guy dresses this way, there are more individualistic ways to dress. Skinny jeans are a hit for guys right now. A nice band tee can help pull the outfit together. Another big hit is scarves, which is a great accessory to anything.
Now, what about the hair? Almost everyone knows the answer to this - it is the long look. Guys growing out their hair is definitely in right now. It has been in for a while and it seems that more guys have long hair than short. But don’t get me wrong, short hair is still cute.
This part seems to be a huge part of a guys outfit - shoes! I haven’t forgotten about them. This seems to be the most talked-about item of clothing by guys. And the top brands are: Converse, Nike, Adidas, Vans, and Supra, which came out for 2009.
So, this sums up what a fashionisto is and how you can dress like one as well. And don’t worry about losing that masculinity - with these outfits, no girls will be able to resist.
