For chaps wanting to look stylish this Autumn/Winter 2014, head towards the high-street route to get your fashion game up and going. Stylist Hasnain Patel maneuvers the streets to bring 13 understated yet stunning street style looks that are going to make you look rather trendy. Believe us; being fashionable has never been this easy.

1. A basic casual jacket falls under the ‘must-haves’ bracket in your wardrobe! Employ it for it works very well on any given day.

2. If you’re planning to layer with basic colours like white, grey, black or beige, don’t be afraid to try on some prints – in this case, leopard print! The idea is to go out and be bold.

3. When in doubt, put on a denim shirt.

Reason: It works fabulously just by itself, plus works as the most amazing layer to printed shirts and t-shirts.

4. Try this: monotone the combination of your shirt or t-shirt and the trouser. And then add a layer of a contrasting solid colour! See the difference?

5. Comfort tip #26 – Cotton jacket and easy cotton trousers. Also remember, camouflage and black are best friends.

6. Nothing makes a jacket-trouser combination more complete than a sweater. Apart from adding more sharpness to it, it also brings in modish tones to the look.

7. Graphic prints can go easy on the eyes unless you don’t follow the one basic rule – neutral layering on prints.

8. Color blocking doesn’t mean yellow jacket, green shirt, yellow pants and multi-colored socks. It works best only if you bring a layer of neutrals as the main subject of your outfit.

9. Checks is your brother from another mother! Put on a solid colored sweater over it! They make for cool #selfies! #brotip

10. A tan leather bomber or just tan leather in any form has the potential to elevate your look. It’s more refreshing than your usual blacks or browns.

11. A shirt or a t-shirt in camouflage brings on that hot navy-chic within you. Try and monotone the outfit for better results.

12. What’s out? Plastic framed wayfarers. What’s in? Mirror reflectors. Try on a pair of aviators or in a round shaped (John Lennon) style, depending on the shape of your face.

13. Whoever said gillets are only meant for photographers? Get one that fits you well and vanity will knock your door.

Accessories can make a man, or can add some zing to your outfit, thereby giving you an opportunity to shine.

Need more proof? These 14 pictures will show how a scarf can become a hero of your whole ensemble.

1) A general rule of thumb when it comes to scarves is: the more the better. Get OTT, wear a mix of prints, colors and patterns, and let your winter ensemble shine.

What To Wear To Your Best Friend’s Wedding

December 6, 2014Posted in fashionTagged african-fashion, american fashion, british fashion, egyptian fashion, Fashion statements, fashion tips, french fashion, nigerian fashion, shopping tipsLeave a comment

Your friend chose you to be the best man at his wedding and now you are struggling with some deep wardrobe issues. Wedding season is frenzied as it is, and add to it the hassle of putting together a good outfit. That might seem a little too much to handle at times. If this sounds a lot like your situation, fret not! We have got you covered with our line-up of some great wedding outfit ideas to make sure you look your best. You are the best man after all.

1. Timeless Elegance

A traditional bandhgala jacket, in a refined lavender blue tone, will look poised and understated. Wear it with a pair of beige coloured pants and dark brown tasseled leather moccasins. Keep the accessories minimal. Add a bright red pocket square for that pop of colour.

2. True Blue

Ditch the old black tux for once and stir things up with a bright blue tuxedo and a black velvet bowtie. Wear it over a classic white tuxedo shirt and match a white pocket square for a dapper look. Accessorize with a silver toned watch and a pair of brown oxford shoes.

3. Black Enigma

If you wish to go down the ethnic route, nothing does it better than a rich black Sherwani in an opulent fabric like velvet, with a pair of black pants. You can choose to go more elaborate with mild detailing around the hem. Match it with black velvet lace up shoes.

4. Urbane Chic

Put together a winning look with a mustard toned shirt and beige bandhgala set, and a dark-coloured pair of trousers. Wear it with ornate cream Mojris. Leave the jacket open and roll up the sleeves for an effortless flair.

5. Absolute Decadence

If you have what it takes to be a trend mogul, rock a houndstooth jacket with black pants and brown brogues. Not only will it be a breath of fresh air among those heavy wedding outfits, but will also help you charm your way through the evening. Mix things up with a light Indigo blue shirt.

6. Print Is In

A statement floral brocade blazer with black lapels is a must have in every fashion conscious male’s wardrobe. Keep it simple with black shirt and pants, and let the blazer do the talking. Go sockless with a pair of black patent slip-ons to achieve a dandy appearance.

7. Plush Pink

That’s right. Pink is no more a colour that is donned only by the ladies. It looks as good on men, albeit with the right amount of styling. Opt for a swanky pink velvet blazer to upgrade your style quotient. Keep the rest of the look minimalistic to avoid a jarring effect.

8. Regal Charm

If you believe in sticking to old classics when it comes to festive styling, a blue and beige Jodhpuri set is the answer to all your closet queries. Pick out a navy blue jacket with gold buttons that provide just the right amount of sparkle to your outfit and add a vibrant pinkpocket square to offset the use of neutrals. A pair of beige pants and brown brogues, and off you go.

9. Crisp Whites

A dusty rose coloured sleeveless jacket over a white shirt and pants is the ideal outfit for the modern and polished urban Indian male. Complete the look with tan coloured oxford shoes and get ready to lure the female crowd.

7 Essential Wardrobe Must-Haves

October 18, 2014Posted in UncategorizedTagged african-fashion, american fashion, british fasion, fashion, french fashion, men's fashion, shopping tipsLeave a comment

There are a few essentials in life that determine success. Your sense of style is one of them. Style is your signature – unique and one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re signing papers in a boardroom or relaxing in the South of France, your sense of style must always be top-notch. A complete wardrobe doesn’t just include the latest fashion; it ensures that it’s well-stocked with a few wardrobe essentials. Any wardrobe worth its grain of style must have the items listed below.

1. The Classic Black Suit

This is one style that’s absolutely timeless. The classic black suit, also known as the power suit, is an all-purpose ensemble that works well at work and at a formal do. This is not the usual go-to look because it’s a little too formal; you can separate the items for a less formal look. Besides, say what you will about the suit, there’s nothing that has superseded this ensemble thus far. And going by the cult-like aura that surrounds the suit, nothing ever will.

2. Pinstriped Suit

The pinstriped suit is one of the best things to have happened to men’s fashion. It’s stylish, powerful and has graduated from being limited to just the banker boys. And, since it has vertical stripes, you just cannot go wrong with this, unless of course, you’re exceedingly tall (in which case, it would be wise to consider other options). There are several ways you can optimise the suit, thanks largely to the stripes. If you wear a tie that plays off the colour of the stripe, you can create quite an effect. There’s a lot more you can do with this one, which makes it a great suit for all occasions!

3. A White Dress Shirt

The white dress shirt is multipurpose and an absolute go-to in terms of its versatility, making this seemingly simple piece of clothing a must-have. Besides being easy to team trousers and ties with, the white dress shirt is an integral part of the suit, too. Additionally, you have a plain style canvas to work your look around this shirt because of its simplicity. And, considering that the heat and humidity is going to go ballistic in the next two months, this shirt will allow you to breathe, have you look stylish and maximise your creative style. Whoever said white was boring, has obviously done no justice to the white dress shirt!

4. Ties

You may not use these every day, but when you do, you enhance your outfit. Ties are a great way of expressing yourself. Also, they’re a great item of clothing that ups your formal quotient right away. A great formal pair of trouser and shirt becomes more elegant when teamed with a tie. While your tie should complement your shirt and trouser, you can break the boundaries when it comes to your choice of tie. It’s a great style statement, one that you can own if you work out the combinations regarding your shirt and trousers.

5. A Designer Watch

This baby is an investment that’s worth your last rupee. The money you spend on your watch is not an expense, it’s an asset. Why, you wonder? Well, if you’re someone worth your buck, your watch will be something that should be worth so much more. It’s a statement, an accessory, and more importantly, a personification of your sense of style right there on your wrist. Like it or not, a watch often enhances your business proposition louder than your words.

6. Formal Trousers

Considering that the work culture is getting more relaxed in terms of what you can wear to the office, formal trousers find themselves on the backburner. But, nothing, and I mean nothing can replace the sheer elegance, style and class of formal trousers. You’re now spoilt for choice when it comes to fits, colours and styles, but choose pairs that are an extension of your personality. Additionally, when buying trousers, ensure that it fits well along the front and falls smoothly along your back. Also, make sure that you have your size down to a tee because ill-fitting trousers are worse than wearing no trousers at all.

7. Great Shoes

If you think no one notices your shoes, think again! Your shoes may be sitting all the way down at your feet, but these are essential to pulling off a look that good or a look that’s pure bad! Shoes are not something you throw on as an after-thought; these babies dress-up your feet. And choice and maintenance of your footwear says a lot about you as a person. Bad, ill-maintained footwear = sloppy and someone who doesn’t care about how he looks; awesome footwear = a sharp dresser who pays attention to details. And a winning look lies in the little details.

7 Things No Man Can Wear After 30

October 18, 2014Posted in UncategorizedTagged african-fashion, american fashion, british fashion, egyptian fashion, fashion statement, Fashion statements, french fashion, men's fashion, nigerian fashionLeave a comment

There is no denying in the fact that as you grow up, your wardrobe evolves too. There are so many elements that you may have rocked at your college party, but, would make you look like a creep if you try to pull them off now. So, in an attempt to make you not look like you’re holding desperately onto your youth, we tell you 7 things that a man shouldn’t even go near after he turns 30.

1) Neon Sneakers

We don’t live in a black-and-white world, so it’s completely fine if adults wear colourful sneakers. However, there’s something sinister about a 30-year-old guy opting for neon greensneakers with electric yellow laces. High school is over guys, get real shoes!

2) Sagged Jeans

A blot on the fashion world, this abomination has been here for quite a while now – jeans which fall on a man’s rear end. Imagine that on a 30-year-old – it simply scars our imagination. Please invest in a pair of jeans that fit properly. You’ll actually find yourself looking younger.

3) Fake fragrances

Take a step ahead and pay for a real fragrance, unless you want to smell homeless. Besides, someone with even a little bit of cologne knowledge can catch you red-handed and your game will be over at that very instant. Save yourself the embarrassment and buy a real bottle!

4) Wristbands

Unless you are a member of an uber-cool rock band, or you’re Salman Khan, wearing a wristband, especially leather is indisputably foolish. Honestly, it’s not even stylish and serves no purpose. It’s not a watch, neither a bracelet, nor a commitment band, it’s just a sign of your reluctance to grow up.

5) T-Shirts with funny slogans

Things-No-Man-Can-Wear-T-Shirts-with-funny-slogans

Boys who are not yet 25 might be able to get away with T-shirts that read ‘Moustache Ride *Free*’, but wearing that after you turn 30 makes you look like a pervert. You’ll never be taken seriously. Avoid them the same way you’ll avoid the Ed Hardy T-shirts. Here’s why!

6) Ed Hardy T-shirts

Things-No-Man-Can-Wear-Ed-Hardy-T-shirts

Nothing says ‘desperate creepy attention seeker’ quite like a middle-age man wearing an Ed Hardy T-Shirt. Remember why your best friend was dumped by that hottie before – yes, right, because he was wearing an awful, tacky shiny and obnoxiously loud Ed Hardy T-Shirt. You wouldn’t want to be that guy!

7) Designer sweatpants

Things-No-Man-Can-Wear-Designer-sweatpants

Sweatpants, while all purpose, are really not going to get you too far in life. In fact, sweat pants should be used for just those things that make you sweat. There are many middle-age men running around in designer sweatpants thinking they look good. Well, guess what – they don’t!

11 WAYS TO DRESS AS A SKINNY MAN

October 18, 2014Posted in UncategorizedTagged african-fashion, american fashion, british fasion, egyptian fashion, fashion statement, french fashion, hairstyles, men's fashion, nigerian fashion1 Comment

You may believe that skinny men have it easy in the wardrobe department, with clothes that fit and flatter, but the reality, however, is far from what it seems. The issue of fit is not the only problem skinny men face. But the good news is that all the problems can be resolved with these 11 easy ways. So, all you slender guys, we’ve got you covered!

1) Before you buy trousers, check out how much hem there is to play with, and then ask your tailor to give you a best fit in the leg and also take care of the fit from the waist. The rule for trousers, or denims for skinny men is that the slimmer, the better.

2) Layering smartly is the key to look sharp. But do ensure each layer is slim-fitting, so that you don’t end up looking like a man who has worn all the clothes from his wardrobe.

3) Make sure you invest in a decent outwear, and yes, that involves shelling out money. Take cue from Robert Pattinson who demonstrates how to mitigate the factor that you’re skinny through quality clothing.

4) We cannot help but reiterate on getting a personal tailor who’ll tailor the hell out of your clothes. From adding shoulder pads to give an illusion of width to giving you a perfectly-fitted slim trouser, he’ll be the divine intervention that you need in your life.

5) Although wearing a slim-fit shirt would seem counterintuitive, embrace it still. It will make your torso look heavy, especially if it’s made of a thick fabric such as denim or mix cotton. What you can also do is bonus layering by throwing in an undershirt over a shirt.

6) Winter should be your favorite season and rightly so! Go all out with coats, trench coats, tweeds, mufflers, sweaters and jackets. Chunky knits can never look better!

7) Light-colored jeans such as white or contrasting bold colors, and horizontal stripes are your saving grace. They’ll instantly add 5 kilos to your look.

8) Avoid pointed shoes at all costs, not because they look extremely nasty (yes, also because of that) but they’re going to emphasize the slimness of your legs.

9) Give the sleeves of your tee a couple of rolls for an on-trend look. This not only adds additional bulk and contours to break up the length of your arms, but also helps to make your muscles look bigger – which will be a bonus!

10) When it comes to belts, ditch the over sized ones because an over sized belt will over shadow your personality. Wear the one that is small and complements your body type.

11) While we are at belts, you must also know not to wear any large accessory—including watches, sunglasses and over-sized bags. It will just draw attention to your slim body parts.

Party Files: Velvet is the New Black

October 18, 2014Posted in UncategorizedTagged african-fashion, british fashion, egyptian fashion, fashion, fashion statement, french fashion, hairstyles, men's fashion, nigerian fashionLeave a comment

It’s that time of the year when party invites fly in and you find yourself wondering what the perfect party look is. It’s all about what you wear and how you wear it. Velvet is the new black, the hottest rage this season, and if you’re not wearing velvet, you’re annihilating your look. MensXP steps in and tells you exactly how you can incorporate velvet in your party wardrobe. Hit all the right style stakes before you hit that dance floor.

Shaking the Dust Off Velvet

For time immortal, velvet has been scorned when it came to men’s clothing. But, Autumn Winter 2012 changed all that and as 2013 comes to a close, velvet has never been as hot as it is now. The key to wearing velvet is not so much about the fabric but how you wear it, what you pair it with and the colours that set it off.

A fleeting trend no more, velvet has arrived; it’s not just a trend, it’s now a wardrobe staple. The only thing you have to ask yourself is how much of velvet you should wear. This depends completely on your personality and your ability to carry off this fabric. MensXP gives you a few ideas on incorporating velvet in your party wardrobe.

1) Since velvet is an extravagant, rich, eye-catching fabric, stick to dark colours – jet black and navy blue are sure-shot winners. In case you want colour, go for burgundy or deep wine.

2) When opting for a velvet blazer, choose a one-button or two-button jacket with a complementing lapel.

3) A velvet blazer is an absolute rage this season. Considering that velvet is as rich as it is, you’ll do well to tone down the rest of your outfit. Team the blazer with a crisp shirt that complements it. Don’t go for contrasting colours because the velvet blazer is the king and if you go for a contrasting colour, you will underplay the blazer and risk looking like a style mistake.

4) Mix-and-match is a great way to make a statement. If you’re wearing a velvet blazer, team it with a roll neck jumper (if the temperatures are low, if not, you can team it with a shirt) and a pair of denims. A velvet blazer is dressy enough to carry your denims.

5) If you’re feeling adventurous and you think you can carry off a velvet suit, you can wear a plaid print velvet suit, which is quite a rage this season.

6) If you’re aiming for a sleek look, pair a dark blazer with dark denims. In case you want contrast, limit it to a dark blazer with light denims.

7) And, if you want to be the star of the party, team a burgundy blazer with a roll neck jumper and off-white trousers. These colours complement and contrast one another simultaneously, and of course, the rich colours combinations make for a splendid look.

HOW TO DRESS IN YOUR 20s

October 18, 2014Posted in UncategorizedTagged african-fashion, british fashion, egyptian fashion, fashio0n statements, fashion, Fashion statements, french fashion, hairstyles, men's fashion, nigerian fashionLeave a comment

As we grow, we no longer have to worry about a lot of things – peer pressure, college assignments, birthday parties, but unfortunately, as we get older, fashion does become a cause of worry. No longer can we throw a cartoon printed T-shirt and get away with it. Your personal style should grow with your age and this will only help you look your best. And when we say dress your age, we do not mean a feeble attempt to look more mature. The 20s are your formative years and hence an integral part of your life. MensXP makes sure you look the part!

Back to Basics

We know it’s your twenties, and you absolutely must experiment and go all out, but, it’s also not the time to neglect the basics. After all, they are called ‘basics’ for a reason. They are the essentials every man should have in their wardrobe. Invest in a few core pieces like a white shirt, a black leather jacket, a pair of well-fitted dark denims, a tailored blazer, a gray suit, a solid coloured tie and tan shoes. You’ll realise that they’ll soon become your preferred go-to tools for both sartorial satisfaction and signature looks.

Learn to experiment

Experimenting is not an unknown concept. We do it in our daily lives and it’s time you extend that in your dressing too. Feel free to test the waters with the latest fashion trends – after all trends are created for young people in their 20s. Although you may not look like a runway model, integrating new clothes from each season will give you sartorial satisfaction. It’s also the perfect way to find your signature style. Whether it’s trend led or timeless, casual or edgy, bright or subtle; feel free to experiment with cuts, patterns, colours and who knows, you might end up rediscovering yourself.

Fit is the new black!

The biggest problem with most Indian men is they wear clothes bigger than their actual size. Drop all rules you know for clothing because fact is that if it doesn’t fit, it’s doesn’t matter. Gone are the days when it was customary to buy clothes a size larger. Not only do ill-fitted clothes look trashy, they are big turn-off. So, make sure you wear clothes that fit you like a glove, not tight, but seamless.

A great suit is for everyone

You can never go wrong with a T-shirt and jeans, but nothing spells dapper than a simple dark (gray, black or navy) suit. Besides, a suit is your key to success for formal affairs. A finely tailored two-button suit can also be worn as a make shift tux if paired with a white French-cuffed shirt, similar colored pants, bow-tie and lace-ups. Chances are that this might be the only thing that you can afford on your own in 20s.

Choose colours wisely

Choosing colours that complement your complexion or hair colour can take your outfit to another level. For instance a dark/tanned skin goes well with darker, richer colours and light skin with muted colours – brighter colours have the ability to make men with light skin look wash out. Eye colour is also an important detail to consider. In fact men should choose accessories like a pocket square or cuffs according to their eye colours. Though this is a very minute detail, you’ll be surprised by the impact it makes.

Basic garments giving an appeal of luxury wear- we certainly heart!
