Style

I went to my hairstylist today to get myself a good new haircut for the hot summer days. I was thinking of retaining my modern short haircut with spikes on top and bangs in front but at the same time, since it's summer, I wanted to apply the good old barber's cut on the sides and at the back. Basically this is how I described it to my hairstylist (just use your imagination).

I'm the kind of guy who likes to try different clothes, footwear and accessories from different brands and just lately, I saw a nice pair of shoes that caught my attention. These pair of shoes is from Merrell, a shoe brand which I realized should be getting more attention after I got myself a first-grade white shoes from them.

In this post, PGG writer Jessie, presents three popular male fashion icons of today. Read on to find out who they are and add to the list your own fashion icons too.

Purple shoes, that is. Just take a look at the Nike Kobe IV purple/white shoes. A beautiful, signature basketball shoe from star player Kobe Bryant and Nike.

What happens when you go to the mall promising you won't buy anything? Well you end up breaking your promise and you get to buy something you weren't planning to buy in the first place. This is what happened to me last Saturday when I saw these two nice shirts from clothing company Von Dutch, as I walked by their store in TriNoma.

In this post, PGG writer Jessie talks about nice shoe finds. And yes, these sneakers are one of the most stylish you will find around. I personally would love to buy the Puma 917 MID.

I got bored with formal black slacks the other day so I went straight to the department store to find something new that I could wear at the office and other formal occasions.

Today PGG Writer Jessie introduces us to the latest trend going on for many guys, that is, the growing of one's facial hair.

I'm no astrologer, but I've listed here some of my predictions for this year on men's style. These are entirely based on what I've seen so far and how I think it will progress throughout the year so let's get the ball rolling...

The year 2008 has been a great year for Pinoy Guy Guide. There has been lots of developments in men's clothing and lifestyle and PGG is very happy to have delivered you the latest updates on these. There were also several dating and lifestyle tips that have been published the year round to serve as a guide for guys out there. These tips are based on my experience and also that of our contributors'.

I was contacted by a Zoo York representative about a month ago to inform me that their clothing product lines have finally arrived in the Philippines. Just a bit of info: Zoo York is a fashion retail brand established in Manhattan. Most of their styles are street wear which includes clothes for skateboarding, graffiti, hip-hop, rock, military, and everything in-between. In this post, let's see some of their clothing stuff for men.

"Exactly where do you get it?" was the question I had in mind when I first saw some guy wearing this kind of watch a couple of months ago. Actually, I wasn't really enticed when I saw one of these jelly watches. In fact, I ignored it right away. I thought it was a little childish to wear one but I have to admit that it really stands out and it has now become more popular than ever.

Whoever is pushing the latest trend on Pinoy Shirts to the mainstream market and retail stores should get an award. I have never before seen Filipino men and women wearing Filipino-themed shirts out loud and proud!

If you have ever passed by apparel retail store "Mint" or "Human", you may have probably seen these so-called shutter shades a.k.a. Venetian sunglasses as popularized by Kanye West.

Today, I was emailed by an Italian-American reader who stumbled upon Pinoy Guy Guide while he and his Filipina girlfriend were searching about Filipino pop-culture and lifestyle. It was very alarming when he told me that the Philippines has no originality when it comes to style and fashion. I'd like to quote an excerpt of his exact message to me below:

While every style is unique to each person, there are just some specific fashion rules which are revised every season depending on what's in and what's out. In this article, Jessie tells us some of these fashion rules that every guy ought to follow.

I bet that the majority of us have seen in the news the on-going economic recession in the US that has resulted into banks and insurance companies collapsing left and right. But in terms of men's style and fashion, I couldn't help but ask - is there also a perfume recession going on?

The last time I posted about messenger bags was like ages ago. But since these bags are still in the mainstream, I'd like to feature one which I bought two weeks ago. I call it my Mossimo silver-black messenger bag.

What's up with men's scarves anyway? In this post, PGG contributor Jessie, shares his point of view on the latest add-on for one's get-up.

My peers and I were strolling at one of the Ayala malls and found a variety of Nike Hyperdunk shoes displayed in several Nike boutiques.

In this post, PGG contributor Jessie, writes about his favorite shoes which he believes will always be in-style.

Who says that sports and men's fashion don't mix? Well whoever said that is probably wrong. Lately, I was looking around for a watch that could be used for less-formal, ragged or even sporty occasions and lo and behold, I found the stylish ION sports watch for men.

If you have been looking around for stuff to wear, you will notice that checkered shorts are everywhere and it has been the latest trend for the past few months.

Some guys are not aware that getting a good haircut is very important. Unlike girls who could do lots of stuff to look good, us men only have three major areas that we could improve on: First is by making our bodies fit, second is by improving one's face by minimizing acne and third is by getting a great haircut. Interestingly, a lot of us tend to neglect the latter which is by far the easiest thing to do.

I'm sorry to disappoint guys who are fans of wet-look for their hair. I know that many are aware of it already, but to those who aren't - it's time for you to realize that the wet-look era for men's hair is already considered old school!

This one's a little odd. News came all over the Internet about Kazakh president's daughter saying that the world is becoming increasingly less "masculine" due to men's growing interest in style and fashion.

You know, I admire Bench because of their excellent marketing strategies. Who would have thought that they can make men wear brightly colored jeans? Take a look at the green pants below which I saw on the mannequin in their shop the other day. I have seen some people wearing them, but wait, not just "some" but many actually.

Remember the ubiquitous Vans checkered shoes?

Nowadays, it seems to me that necktie trends have gone a long way. To date, there are two different styles of neckties which are worth considering. The skinny and the ascot.

I work in an office environment similar to those in the Makati Central Business District where the men's dress code for most offices is formal. While I was on my way to work last week, I can't help but notice some guys wearing long-sleeves and carrying a backpack. No offense meant to those who do that, but I must say that this is an absolute no-no to men's style.
