From the day they are toddlers young boys are constantly told, “Tuck in your shirt!” Why is that? Of course, its because for one mom knows best, but also it just looks posh. That smart lady knew that in order to accomplish a neat and tidy look, her son needed his shirt to remain tucked. Nice looking, yes, but extremely comfortable, not always. That is where the ingenious brand, Untuckit comes into play. They are bringing sexy back, without sacrificing comfort.

Get Your Man Right: Untuckit -Shirts Designed to be Worn Untucked

Boys as they get older grow out of many things. Toys, shoes, various video games, crushes, yet the desire to be comfy never fades. Untuckit solves this little issue for your MCM with a collection of shirts that are fashionable and look good even untucked.

This thought alone will make any guy want to pop a bottle and make it rain. Here is more good news… these are shirt designs that work in causal settings as well as formal. GASP! The key here is all about the fit. If the fit is too big, your guy will look unkempt. Furthermore, if it too tight, well, sausage party anyone?

Untuckit shirts fall at just the perfect length. We are actually HUGE fans of the length because it works for comfort reasons as well as accessibility. The hem of the shirt will fall right around the pockets above where the zipper ends. Since most guys do not carry their valuables in handbags like us women do; they will love this aspect a lot. The shirt is an acceptable length without getting in the way of reaching for something like a wallet or chapstick.

Here are a few our styling tips for guys. If your guy loves the thought of rocking the untucked look with denim he should opt for a dark rinse. A darker rinse jean is universally flattering. It instantly creates a more slimming effect. Untuckit boasts so many different designs your guy is bound to find a shirt that matches his personal tastes. Also, if he sticks to the darker rinse it will be easier pair.

Moreover, if he chooses to wear a jacket make sure that the hem of shirt does not extend past the length of his coat. If it does it will make his ensemble look messy and kind of disheveled. Keep these things in mind and you will definitely Get Your Man Right.

Iconic Prince Fashion Trends That Will Never Be Forgotten

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 22, 2016April 22, 2016Leave a Comment

Prince was a genius. He made music that has stood the test of time transcending generations and changes in styles of music. He made Doves Cry, threw the best party of 1999 and had us all heralding the dance cry, “Let’s Go Crazy!” There are many ways to look back on his extraordinary legacy; nevertheless, we would be honored to present to you a few of the many iconic Prince trends that will never be forgotten.

Ruffles:

Eat your heart out Captain Jack Sparrow! Long before the Cap, Prince made ruffles of Mozart’s era look modern and cool. His shirts shall live in infamy, for not just any man could possess the je ne sais quoi to pull this particular garment off.

The Color Purple:

We all loved the song that incorporated this royal shade, but we all loved it more when Prince would allow it to be draped upon him. If there was one tint that this legend owned better than any other artist it would be purple.

Exaggerated Collars:

Iconic Prince fashion trends would not be complete without making reference to his prominent shirt collars. Prince enjoyed boisterous couture. His stature may have been a mere 5’2 but his style choices were larger than life.

Mixed Prints:

Stripes with polka dots? No problem! Such a feat may be a styling nightmare for some, however, for Prince it was a walk in the park.

Stunner Shades:

On the stage or off of one Prince could always be spotted in a pair of creatively designed eye-wear. No frame was too big and no brand or amount of lenses was off limits. Prince didn’t go after the trends, he simply made them.

Metallics:

Before Rihanna shined bright like a diamond, Prince was blinding us with his fabulous metallics. From his jewels to his shirts and jackets he went bold. Moreover, he was unafraid to mix and blend. When it came to Prince’s style, gold and silver never clashed.

Cropped Tops:

Prince was the master of androgynous dress. He elegantly wove together looks infused with masculinity yet possessing touches of femininity. The ending result was always a delectable, seductive ensemble.

Prince was not an one-dimensional artist when it came to his music or style adroitness. His music was a perfect pairing with any and all esteemed iconic Prince fashion trends. Donatella Versace, summed it up best stating,

“Nobody has married music and fashion as Prince did… Prince was a genius, most of all my friend. Love you, miss you.”

Prince will be greatly missed by one and all. Nevertheless, his artistry and illustrious image will continue to celebrate his legacy that is far too grand to ever forget.

Kevin Hart Debuts Nike “Hustle Hart” On Jimmy Fallon

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 29, 2016January 13, 2016Leave a Comment

As much as we enjoy Jimmy Fallon performing with The Roots using musical toy instruments; last night’s Kevin Hart fashion moment was pretty cool as well. Hart showed off his kicks which are part of a collaboration with Nike due to be released later this year. At this point of time an exact date of the sneaker release is yet to be determined. Nevertheless, shoe industry experts are pinning a date for the collection for this coming April.

With the release Hart would become the very first actor/comedian/entertainer to ink a deal with Nike. What name has Kevin chosen to give to his shoes? Hart can definitely say that he ‘started from the bottom’ and hustled his way to stardom. Therefore, Kevin Hart’s trainers have been fittingly named, “Hustle Hart.” So far two colors have been showcased for the Nike Hustle Hart, red and blue.

For a project such as this consumer reaction as well as opinion is key. We took to the gram to get an early indication of what potential buyers may be currently thinking. Here are a few comments we gathered:

“Copping those.”

“Lol we need those.”

“They really aren’t that bad.”

“This gotta be Nike’s response to Ye.”

“These are dope.”

So far it looks like Nike and Kevin are on their way to a really big pay day. Congrats to Kevin Hart we wish you much fashion success and hope that this collaboration inspires others to Hustle Hart… oops we mean hard.

NFL Player Victor Cruz Stars in Givenchy Fall/Winter 2015 Ad Campaign

Arianne SuggsUpdated on August 10, 2015August 10, 2015Leave a Comment

We were already pumped up for the upcoming NFL season after this past weekend’s football festivities aka NFL Hall Fame Ceremony. However, being the fashion addicts we are seeing football meeting fashion had our style radar way up! NFL superstar Victor Cruz and owner of his own streetwear brand is lending his good looks to Givenchy.

Dang! Uhm… hi Mr. Cruz… 😉

Cruz can be seen in Givenchy’s ad campaign for fall/winter 2015. The suits he wears for the campaign are tailored to absolute perfection. We believe all men should own at least one pinstripe suit in their wardrobe. The style is sophisticated, luxurious and timeless making any man look like an instant classic. If your favorite guy is fighting you on the pinstripe suit tip just tell him it was good enough for The Godfather!

We tip our hats and martinis to Ricardo Tisci for choosing such an influential celebrity in the realm of men’s fashion for the Givenchy campaign. The exquisite ad was lensed by photography legends Marcus Piggot and Mert Atlas. It’s a great look for Givenchy and can’t wait to see more style from Victor Cruz in the future.

Get Your Man Right: GQ Mag’s Fall/Winter 2015 Fashion Editorial

Arianne Suggs August 7, 2015August 7, 2015Leave a Comment

If Bae would like a little advice as to how to look like he just walked out of the Monte Carlo with Agent 007 showing him the sights ( tell him that, he’ll love it), then there is a special GQ issue he’ll enjoy flipping through. Gift your man with GQ’s September issue which includes a nifty fashion editorial highlighting the best of men’s fall/winter 2015 couture. The editorial includes designs by Armani, Gucci, Boss and Prada just to name a few.

Some of the looks that we took note of were by Boss, Ralph Lauren and Versace. Boss and Ralph Lauren both showcase models wearing a turtleneck top and tailored jacket. This is perfect for the guy that does not always like to wear a tie or just has a hard time matching them to his suits. The guesswork and stress of coordinating is eliminated and a guy still gets to keep the sauve factor going.

Nevertheless, Versace had us talking over our cups of coffee due to the boldness of putting a man in a fur. If your man has a boisterous personality and doesn’t mind taking fashion risks then this look will bring out his style passion. Check out some of the editorial to inspire your man’s fashion juices to get flowing.

Alicia SuggsUpdated on June 25, 2015June 25, 2015Leave a Comment

Haider Ackermann Spring 2016 Menswear Collection. The men in this collection looked amazing in the different hues of blue. Haider decided to focus on trousers with a slight drop crotch, vest and draped outerwear cinched in at the waist. Usually that look could come off slightly feminine however he was still able to keep the masculinity of the mans true form. Some models that walked the show were South Sudan model Nykhor, Victor Ndigwe, Jackson Garbled, Yassine Rahal and Fernando Cabral.
