All About The Men 

For some men they can throw on a t-shirt, pair of jeans, and some sneaker’s and they consider themselves dressed up. Others like to go all out with a tux or suit and designer brands. There are so many different styles for guys believe it or not but when your going out you need to look the best in your type of style. I will again use categories for the type of guy you are, that way you can quickly scroll to your style. We will cover style trends from a very expensive look to the average t-shirt and jeans look. 



Mr. Ferrari (Very Expensive)
In this generation it is common for men to dress with a lot of class and style. Sometimes they even out-do the women they are occompying. Some of my favorite designers that are a bit more pricer include; Emporio Armani, True Religion,


Emporio Armani is again a very expensive brand. The clothing ranges for $150- $1,500. It is 
though a very rich look. 



Giorgio Armani is an international Italian fashion house founded by Giorgio Armani. The Brand designs, manufactures, and distributes leather goods, shoes, watches, jewlery, accessories, eyewear, cosmetics, and home goods. Sub-labels include: Giorgio Armani, Armani Collezioni, Emporio Armani, AJ | Armani Jeans, AX | Armani Exchange, Armani Junior, and Armani/Casa.







Mr. Jersey Shore (Bling)

If you have never seen or heard of the Jersey Shore T.V. series, you will have no idea what this style looks like. But the Mr.Jersey Shore style is basically the guy who sticks out at the bar for what he is wearing. It is usually bright, shinny, has "bling" on it. Affliction, Ed Hardy, and Guess all have the Jersey Shore style.



Affliction Clothing is an American clothing manufacturer based in Seal Beach, California. 
Affliction's clothing line includes: t-shirts, polo shirts, thermals, hoodies, shorts, jeans, and shoes. Its style has been described as "skull and crossbone inspired"

Getting the ladies ready is the biggest challenge. Being a woman I constantly want everything perfect and will go to extreme lengths to do so. Since the ladies are completely ready to go out, now the guys get a turn. I will start the same way but with only hair and clothing. Unless your a male that likes make-up you can check out my previous make-up post. =) 
Some men are very precise about how their hair looks. They can almost be as much of a perfectionist as ladies sometimes. I’ll make sure to include hair salons and barber shops that meet all mens criteria.

Place to go, hair done, make-up done, now what to wear! Deciding what to wear in my opinion is the hardest part of all. Finding the perfect outfit, with the perfect jewelry, and the perfect shoes, it a huge challenge. There are many reasons why finding something to wear is so hard. It has to fit, be in style, and be in your personal price range. Luckily I know many places to satisfy all these needs while staying in everyones price ranges.

Now that we know a place to go and have our hair looking amazing, it’s time for make-up and tanning! Finding a good make-up artist is extremely difficult. It always seems as if they apply to much make-up or not enough, so you basically end up looking dead or like a prostitute. I have had my make-up done hundreds of times and can guarantee the people I offer will leave you looking breathtaking. As for tanning, most salons offer the same type of beds, but who wants to go an entire week to get color. Spray tanning is a hot trend among celebrities and has no dangerous health effects. 
Make-up can completely define who you are and how you feel about yourself so choosing make-up artists who enhance natural beauty is the best way to be left completely satisfied.
