Wardrobe Overhaul

I have decided to have a wardrobe makeover. I think it would be good for me to have new clothes to wear in the next month or so. A new wardrobe for me signals a fresh start. I usually do some major shopping when there are significant changes in my life - positive or negative. Being that the management program I am currently in is about to end and new career challenges are about to reveal themselves, I think it is time to shop anew. So here are the pieces that inspire me. My fashion sense has always been casual preppy but I like to mix it up every now and then. The cut and fit of the garment is key.

The suit: Every man should have at least one. Tailored suits are always better than off the rack. But if you must do off the rack, then pick one that makes your shoulders broader, and your waist slimmer. Slim trousers are in. Baggy is out. 2-button suits is the most modern yet classic at the same time.



The sunglasses: I am partial to Ray-Ban classic aviators. I do not even care if my sister said the style does not suit my face. But I am open to change in that department. To be honest, I have yet to determine which shape of sunglasses look best on me.



Trousers: Slim, Straight, and Flat-front. 'Nough said.



Flip-Flops: I am in love with these Lacoste Tirage Flip-flops.



Shorts: I am kinda over the plaid shorts. Slim and tailored are the buzz words for shorts in 2010. I wear them a little bit above the knee.



Cardigan: I rarely wear them simply because of the climate but I just love these ones from Shades of Greige



The Perfect White shirt: Every man should have a perfect-fitting white shirt. Flexible and classic. These are sculptees - a new breed of men's undergarment designed to accentuate the pecs and make the waist look slimmer. It does for men what spanks do for women. Must have one.



Running shoes: I recently bought these pair of red running shoes from Adidas. Don't you just love it? Like really love it? Because I love it!



Anyway, that's it for now. I have to build my corporate wardrobe and weekend ensembles for day and night.

  1. Did you know that Spanx also has products for men? Instant slim down. :)

    Anyway, I do agree with the need for the wardrobe overhaul. However, I might disagree with the flat front pants. There are bottom-heavy men that just need the pleats for the extra leg room.

    I love the Lacoste slip ons. :) As for the cardigans, check out D&G's A/W 2010 collection. You'll like what you'll see. :)

  2. no i didn't. where can i get these instant slim down spanx???

    i may have gotten bottom heavy but...the pleats are just not flattering at all. i'd still go for flat front pants. the solution for me is not to switch to pleated pants, but rather trim down on the thigh area.
