Just say no to puff daddy

Hey ya’ll, its officially winter and along with winter comes many great things. Snow days, Christmas, new years and winter fashion. Maybe the fashion part isn’t a big deal, but since moving out of Toronto, I realized that winter can suck in some areas of Canada. There are a lot of trends happening for winter, some of them not really winter ready and others are over board North Pole style. I think people have their choice and opinion as to what looks good, but heres a huge tip. Don’t go puffy!! The trend this season seems to be puffy jackets? I have never been a fan of bomber styles and stuff that makes you look bigger than you already are. This isn’t 1993, where lime yellow bombers jacket and green addidas pants were cool..ok maybe it was just me wearing that.
So here are some puffy jackets to avoid.




Instead, go for something with a little bit more fit and throw on a nice wool winter hat and leather gloves that don’t look like your moms.

True buddies


Hey guys, so officially onto my second post!


You ever watch that movie "I love you man"? it's a hilarious movie no doubt, but it hits home on a topic about brosifs, broski's, bro, buddy or just best friend. I think all guys can agree when we say a best friend is hard to find! the movie touches on the fact that this guy spends all his life being a boyfriend and never finds a best friend. Which brings me onto the subject of a bro? what qualifies as a bro and how many would one usually need?


I grew up with some of my "bro's" and can call them whenever i needed help...mind you we have had our spats and issues BUT true broski's can forget about that shit and move on. In my life, I have my cousin, my good friend from school and my brother..maybe they fell into the "family category" but regardless people i can depend on.

I have had potential bro's and lets just say you realize quickly that these guys fall into acquaintances, drinking buddies, or whatever.

So i compromised a list of what a best bro friend would possess(usually)

1) Anytime you are in trouble, this guy is there in a flick of a switch.
2) He isnt a cock block..I REPEAT isn't a cock block, and is ready to take it for the team
3) he might do things, that are out of his character trait, if you ask him
4)Understands he wont make you do things that make you uncomfortable, like if you quit drinking, they would be bro's about it.
5)he is true to his word.
6)he will speak his mind, and will be a bro about things that might hurt your future.


those are some that come to mind, but remember, dont force yourself to find dudes who can be potential brosifs..if its meant to be its meant to be!

later mofo's!

Topic: What to wear to a NightClub



Do people still say night club? Anyways I know most of you have been through a moment where you’re not sure what to wear to a night club. There are so many options out there and so many different clubs but what I can suggest are some tips for the typical clubs. Remember some clubs/lounges are catered to a certain crowd.

1) The upscale lounge: You can get away with some dark shaded jeans with a nice fitted blazer. A fitted collard shirt works well underneath a blazer. Remember and I stress this if you are going to rock a blazer make sure your shirts tucked in. That whole era of the un-tucked shirt is not suited for the 24+ . If you do make sure you wear a nice belt, my suggestion the slim belt and steer clear of the big buckle belts for this place. I've seen some men even wear this ensemble with a nice handkerchief. (Hey if you have the confidence, do it!). Remember shoes are important, ensure they don’t have any scuffs and are some what trendy. A suggestion is the slim style.

2) The dance club: I have a cousin who likes to wear the Ed hardy t-shirts, since he loves to work out with nice jeans. For guys who want to show they have some muscle wearing a fitted designer t-shirt or long sleeve can be enough to look like a stud. For the guys who aren’t into working out, don't worry you can rock a simple fitted collared shirt, with military patches and nice fitten jeans.

Topic: Skinny Jeans for men

To Skinny or not Skinny, that is the question?
Recently North America has been swept with the skinny jean phenomenon. Well maybe not a phenomenon but you are noticing a lot of big celebs have been pushing the look, even rappers. It’s a great look, but needs to be done in a proper manor. Many Emo kids, punk rockers like to wear the really tight fitted styles, which are ok if you’re into that look, but personally I find it revolting. My best experience with the skinny jeans was about a year a go, standing inline waiting to get into a lounge. I saw this pretty muscular guy rocking black skinny jeans with a fitted blazer beige blazer. Now the jeans stood out because they were not overly tight and the shoes he was wearing were mid cut black leather boots which looked well together. So here are some notes to follow when trying to wear skinny jeans.

1) Again, if you have a very large build, and huge thighs maybe hit the courts and work off some of that size before you rock them. Not everyone can wear these remember.
2) Try to go for a size or two larger. I am a size 32 and went for a size 34 which gives me room for the goods to breathe.
3) Shoes! Remember this puts the piece together; don’t wear your old busted up pair of Nikes. My tip, would be go for the mid cut leather boots (for a more night time/grown up feel) or the simple old-school retro kicks like the chuck Taylor’s.
4) Usually skinny jeans work well with fitted tee’s or fitted dress shirts. Even a nice cardigan doesn’t look to shabby. If you can rock a baggy shirt and get a way with it, you’re probably easy on the eyes with the ladies!

Cardigan's, Not for Gramps anymore!

Men's Cardigans


Hey so you have probably seen cardigans in your life time at one point or another, the revival of the cardigan has been seen throughout much of 2008 and probably 2009.


Some tips for wearing cardigans:

If you have a major weight issue, usually cardigans doesn’t help the image.

1)Horizontal striped cardigans are nicer on slimmer guys.
2)They can be dressed down with nice jeans and dressed up with some fitted dress pants.
3)Don’t be afraid to rock a t-shirt underneath, you can also wear a collared shirt to make it a bit formal.

4)Role up the sleeves to add a more urban feel to it. Also, they can even be worn out to a night club with a nice slim tie underneath .
