Men's Fashion Evolution
Ever since Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Ennio Capasa, Jean Paul Gaultier just to name a few, presented their vision on men's fashion in the 70s and the 80's men's wear has never been the same. Fearlessly shared what they have envisioned for the Adonis's has paved the way for men to consider fashion and developed their taste and personal style. Wearing a plain white shirt with a pair of jeans is not boring or plain anymore but it is now complemented with attitude and zest. In short men possessed already an individual look that these designers has guided and helped them to developed through what they need and want.
Variety of choices in designs for men's clothing, accessories as well as grooming products and body scents is now available in the fashion market. You can see men on the street, offices, factories and schools bearing their own style in dressing. It doesn't matter how you wear your black suit it is just depend on the occasion. Gone are the days the strict code on wearing tux with bow tie. I'm not saying its out it's just that it's not the "basic uniform" anymore in a Gala or attending a special gathering. In the Chanel Printèmps – Etè 2011 collection male super model Baptiste Giabiconi strutted down the runway wearing a Tail Coat with White Crew neck shirt and a Boots. The look is not every man can get away with but it's very young, modern and most of all the message is very fashion forward that something men can grasp for reference.
In the late 90's Hedi Slimane captured the fashion industry by storm with his Rock-Star look for his collection. His Skinny Silhouette for men has become a staple pattern for men's fashion until now that even the legendary fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld wear Slimane's design for a period of time.

For Personal Style
For those men who are in the process of discovering their style and concern about the price, I may say it is not necessary to follow trends all the time and buy designers clothes but one must stay and improve his own personal style according to his means. If you're comfortable having a bespoke clothing or in track pants so be it. What matters is how you carry it and that style represents you as an individual. You cannot be Tom Ford or Johnny Depp but you can use their manner of dressing as your guide in your own closet.
Your look or outward image can make a great impact on other people. I respect others opinion about fashion that is crazy, funny and unnecessary but mind you no one has landed a good and descent job and gained respect with an unprepared and untidy representation. It's packaging honey!
So be at your best, be the best men out there and get a look!
