Celebrity Copycat: David Beckham’s Look for Less!

Filed under Boys on the Side
Gotta love David Beckham’s casual look : laid back, clean cut and best of all affordable and easy to emulate. Not really into the whole sweater tied around the waist look. It certainly doesn’t look bad on him, but if it’s not your style you can always just simply wear it (if the weather calls for it of course). Get Beckham’s look for less!

Celebrity Copycat: Get Cam Gigandet’s Look for Less!

The laid-back look suits Cam Gigandet (from Twilight) well, but I’m really not digging the v-neck (is he trying to show cleavage or what?). With a crew neck in place, the outfit is a casual, cool and each piece can be used year round. Get Cam’s look for less!

Understated

The following is a guest post by Stylist Manifesto: Sometimes the most appropriate way to go is minimalist. From shoes to accessories, tops to bottoms, there are times when simplicity works best.
Shoes.
These ProKeds are extra fresh while maintaining an exceptionally simple aesthetic - $64 at Zappos.com
Onitsuka tigers are always fashionable, and these are no exception. These particular examples are unique in that there are no bright colors present, just a modern combination of white and gray. Pair these with denim or chinos and a white button-down or a tank underneath a simple track jacket and you’re good to go - $83.95 at Zappos.com
These Supra Thunder’s are super sweet suede high-tops. Nothing more, nothing less. Effortless chic - at Karmaloop.com
Accessories.
This Issey Miyake ‘Twelve’ watch designed for Seiko is minimalist design at it’s best. Each angle of the watch represents the hour. I would definitely recommend wearing this with rolled up sleeves because you’ll want to show this one off – at 2Modern.com
The nooka ZON watch is sleek and unlike many nooka timepieces, has the option of displaying time in a traditional way if you desire. I think the unique design and the way it sits asymmetrically on the wrist makes this watch perfect for the discerning modernist – at Nooka.com
These panasonic headphones are beautifully retro and not too flashy in their design. Sound quality isn’t too bad for the price either. The neutral color looks great regardless of the outfit - $49 at Turntablelab.com
Tops.

Many of us forget about the long-sleeve lightweight tee. This doesn’t have to be just an undershirt. It looks great by itself, especially highlighted with a great accessory (i.e. watch, bracelet, etc.). Some slick linen pants and sandals would also be right at home with this one - $19 at 80sPurple.com
The light-weight hoodie is another essential for the warmer seasons. Most heavier ones are just too hot to wear during the summer, even in the evening. However, the light-weight hoodie is about as heavy as a t-shirt, so overheating (and therefore sweating, eeeewww) isn’t an issue. This example is mad affordable too - Alternative Apparel Unisex Eco Zip Hoodie – $28 at 80sPurple.com
Bottoms.
Khakis aren’t just for the golf course. Especially with all of the variations we have, these summer staples are a beautiful way to maintain a crisp look for the bottom half - Men’s Long Beach pants – $109 at 80spurple.com
Nothing screams summer like linen! These loose-fit examples from 80’s purple go great with those onitsuka’s above, or some nice leather sandals. Pair with said sandals and an a-tee and you’ll be casually chic at the beach or at that pool party - $185 at 80sPurple.com
So remember, it’s not always necessary to rock the bright colors everyone else is. Sometimes minimalism is the most appropriate choice when putting together your ensemble.

The Adult Surfer Look

The following is a guest post by Stylist Manifesto: When you think of a surfer’s outfit (when out of the water), what comes to mind? T-shirt or A-tee, jeans or shorts, and thong sandals or adidas slides, no? Welcome to adulthood where the jeans or shorts remain, but the rest gets a fresh and mature update. The T-shirt or A-tee either become the polo or the button-down (with sleeves rolled to the elbow), and the thong sandals or adidas slides become nice leather slides. Still an easy, no-thought outfit, just grown up! To briefly recap:
1. Buttown down (with sleeves rolled), polo or a ‘premium tee.’ Cali Button-down – $39.50 at Hollister.com
Or..Classic Polo – $10 at Oldnavy.com

2. Denim Painter’s Jeans – $20 at Oldnavy.com

Or…Jetty shorts – $29.50 at Hollister.com

3. Nice leather slides Fitzwell White Slides – $59 at Zappos.com

Or…Kenneth Cole Reaction ‘Shore thing’ Brown Slide – $85.50 at Zappos.com

*Bonus* change out the sandals for aquatic shoes (boating, etc.) like these:

Puma Aqua Mostro $73.25 @ Zappos.com
Your accessory choices should be appropriately matched, especially for the summer season (coral, hemp, leather, bright colors, etc.). This look is a fun, yet grown way to express yourself in a fashionable way this summer without looking like everyone else. Because we all know, that’s just lame!

The Adult Skater Look

Filed under Boys on the Side
The following is a guest post by Stylist Manifesto: When it comes to what you love, there’s no need to go overboard. Especially once you reach adulthood. As a skater and a stylish guy, it’s necessary to have a balance between paying homage to what you love, and maintaining a fashionable and mature appearance. I think subtlety with a hint of boldness screams taste and fashion sense. For example, as a grown man, it’s time to leave the white tee behind. Welcome to adulthood where the white tee is replaced with the crispy white dress shirt. Pair this men’s essential with a pair of jeans or shorts and basically ANY color tennis (or skate) shoe and you have a SUPER fashionable look instantly! So remember kids, it’s as easy as ‘1-2-3′!
1. White button down.
2. Jeans or shorts.
3. ANY color tennis or skate shoe.
Easy, right? Remember, even when it’s not on your board, make it look like staying this fly is effortless! Note examples below.
