Men's Flat Caps

Men's flat Caps can be traced back to 14th century Britain and Ireland, when it was more likely to be called a 'bonnet'. It was taken to the americas in the 17th century by Irish and Scottish immigrants.
The flat Cap is still chic even today and a favorite of the likes of Brad Pitt, Guy Richie, Ne-Yo, Common and others. The flat Cap exudes a more matured dandified look and is a good piece of headgear for an urban metrosexual wardrobe.All the Caps featured are available at Asos.

Bill Amberg Stable Tote

This Bill Amberg Stable Tote Leather Bag is Strapped, buckled and joined with copper fixtures and rivets; evocative of saddles and riding harnesses. It 100% vegetable tanned leather and has removable shoulder straps for ease or use. Great design i must confess, i've seen women's bags with this sort of handle but this one works fine here without looking feminine.
Retails at Asos for $696.72.

Superga 3 Color Deck Shoe

This deck shoe by Superga is made with suede and i bet its not going to serve any nautical tasks effectively cos no one would want to get water on suede. So instead of it remaining amphibious you'd just have to make it permanently terrestrial.
The combination of blue white and red is always alluring and the soles are more comfortable than orthodox deck shoes. Get it at My-Wardrobe for £77.

Men's Skinny Jeans

Men's Skinny Jeans has its roots in music portraying a dandy rock and roll image. It surfaced in the 50's through Elvis Presley & James Dean pioneers of snug fitting jeans. In the 60's the Rolling Stones continued the trend and passed it on to the likes of The Ramones & The Clash in the 70's . The 80's were a bit quiet as guys opted for flared jeans but fastforward 20 years Hedi Slimane at dior, brought them back into the fashion radar paraded by whip thin models.
Men no longer nurse the fear of being unconventional or labelled as much less stigma is associated with skinny Jeans. Men are becoming more savvy and want to have more fun with fashion. Trust me they are not as constrictive as they appear :o) i got most of my pals asking me how my main vein was going to breathe..lol.If you intend to get on board you got to switch from boxers to lowrise briefs or trunks :oD ummm...jockstraps,thongs or going commando are other suitable alternatives :oD you certainly don't want to have a wedgie induced grimace cos these jeans would send some stares your way.
Best to keep your tops plain, let the attention remain on your legs. Men with more edgy or artistic style would pull off this look with ease. And please guys if your waist size is more than 34 stay away from skinny jeans. If you got huge thighs that get a lot of friction when you're walking go search another fit, you don't really have to be skinny but you should be on the leaner side to rock them.

All of the jeans featured in this post are by Dr Denim & available at Asos.

Asos Navaho Sandals

The people up in Asos's design team are wicked! how do you explain the intricate pattern of this Navaho Sandals :o) Asosman has sure set itself in a league of it's own far away from Topman and Zaraman which all share the similar ethos of affordable chic menswear.
