Pop psychology tells us that shoes define the man, so don’t be afraid to spend a pretty penny on a pair of dress shoes. And when purchasing the perfect pair, think “slim.â€
Yes, gentlemen, long gone are the days of those platform-like clunky shoes you wear with a suit. To go along with the European-style chic of Western fashion, men should avoid the severe square toe. Instead, opt for the more slender and subtle square tipped footwear. But no matter what you choose, be sure that it defines you.

Hip Hop Fashion as seen at the House of Mamasan Fashion Show
Hip-hop culture consists of four primary elements: MC’ing, turntablism, breakdancing and graffiti. Some might say that basketball is the unspoken fifth element, but in our humble opinion, fashion is more relevant in the fabric of hip-hop culture.
Ever since the days of the retro rap of Run DMC, there has been a phenomenal impact of hip-hop culture in the world of fashion. Think about it – the bling, the Adidas track suits, the fat laces, the hoop earrings – it’s all been a prominent force in urban street garb.
Now, the world of hip-hop takes up a reasonable chunk of the fashion industry. Brands like Roca Wear, Sean John, Baby Phat, Fetish and Akademiks play a big role in hip-hop while other brands like Triple 5 Soul and Juicy Couture are more of an authoritative undercurrent.
Sure, there are the more obvious aesthetics involved in this realm (i.e. uberbaggy jeans, Kangol hats, throwback jerseys), but there is a less blatant spectrum to this edgy world of hip-hop. And as cliché as it may sound, it’s a lot about the attitude when trying to pull off some of these hip-hop clothes. Otherwise, you’ll just look like a big poser.

It seems as though layering patterns has become the new "black" in men’s fashion. Polka-dots with stripes, plaids with paisleys, flowers with checks – it’s all about the right pattern matched with the right color palette matched with the right fit matched with the right attitude. Trying this out with various tops (i.e. jackets and shirts) is a good way to go, but the easiest route to take for men would be button downs and ties.
