Esquire has a rather entertaining list of fashion tips for men who would like to dress casually yet still look fashionable and appealing. While much of the list has merit, we’re not 100% on a few of their suggestions. A nice-looking pair of jeans is acceptable casual dress for just about any casual or smart casual occasion unless you’re told no jeans. Although we’d tell you to leave the really worn-out, ripped jeans for lounging around on a Sunday, doing a bit of shopping or perhaps creating an edgy look for a night out, you will find very few places that you would wear a pair of chinos to which you could not comfortably wear a nicely-tailored pair of jeans.
Brandish posted this picture. We’re completely at a loss. Anyone?
We may have missed a trick with these jeans that Boing Boing posted about earlier.
We’re sure they wouldn’t put off the ladies….
We’ve been featured on top fashion blog Denimology this week. These guys are experts in the world of designer jeans and their blog is always worth a look. They did, however, miss one crucial thing about our jeans being designed to be worn “low [and] loose” which is that this also means they’re designed to be really comfortable!
We’re always looking for interesting stories about men’s fashion here, and we spotted one the other day in the Globe and Mail about pockets on men’s trousers and jackets. The article makes a very good point by saying that slimmer styles of trouser mean we have less room in our pockets for the ever-growing number of things we need to keep in them such as wallets, cell phones and keyrings.
The fact is that most men carry a wallet in their pockets stuffed with all manner of credit cards, handfuls of coins, receipts for the last two years and an ever-growing number of business cards. Even where a wallet is kept for the sole purpose of storing cash, our cell phones are getting bigger again as we want to update Facebook and Twitter from our phones, look at Google Maps or check our email on the go while also using our phones for GPS and to take photographs.
The thing is, and it’s something we’ve always known, guys, when we shove all this junk into our pockets, it looks pretty bad. Having a huge lump against your leg or your bum cheek does not flatter anyone. There’s a reason that women carry handbags and this is it.
Sadly, we have no idea how to remedy it either, save the Globe and Mail’s suggestion of inside pockets. If anybody’s got suggestions, we’re listening.
We spotted an article in Forbes about styles of jeans that are appropriate for the office which is pretty spot-on. Although a lot of businesses now allow employees to dress more casually, it is important to look stylish and neat, whatever the dress code at your office may be. Here at Schultz, we’re partial to our own designer jeans when we’re working, a fact which probably comes as a huge surprise to our loyal readers, which is one of the reasons we designed Schultz jeans to be so versatile.
Based on Forbes rules about appropriate jeans for the office, we’d recommend our Blouberg and our Rockview styles in particular. Just make sure that you remember to button them up when you’re at work.
