Hoodie + Shorts: Hot or Cool?

I often see guys wearing a hoodie with shorts and it makes me want to ask them the question,
"Do you think you're hot or cool?"

Levi's Spring 2011 Double Denim

Levi's writes, "This season is all about Denim on Denim: on-the-go, ready-for-the-road outfits you can easily pull off even with just a few clothing pieces."

My advice still stands on staying away from double denim unless as I have said before, you are a cowboy going to an 80’s themed costume party or Clint Eastwood.

The Four in Hand Tie Knot

I've recently went to Makati Business District. For those not familiar with Makati, Philippines, Makati Business District is the heart of the economic and financial trade not only in Metro Manila but in the entire Philippines itself.

As I walk along the clean and nicely paved sidewalks, I took some time looking at the facade of our hardworking white collar employees. What got my attention aside from the usual ill-fitting baggy shirts were the way they tie their ties.

I recommend staying away from the windsors and half-windsors as only a few could pull them off. In this time of slim lapels and non-spread collars, the Four in Hand Knot is the only knot you need to know.



Also, don't forget the dimple.

Double Denim

I recently recommended a denim jacket here and some might wonder why. Well denim jackets are indeed classic jackets and as long as you keep it nicely fitted, dark, and simple, it will last for years. Rebellious, in an understated way.

Just don’t wear jeans with it. Even if your jeans are black or dark blue without any distress and wash. The only exceptions are cowboys and people going to an 80’s themed costume party.

Affliction Clothing

Question: What does TRG think of Affliction T-shirts?

Answer: The same with Ed Hardy t-shirts.
Affliction t-shirts are becoming the latest disease affecting every street, club and bar in Metro Manila. For the rebellious gentlemen: Avoid them at all costs.

Upturned collars

Everyone knows that the popped collar look is officially dead, not to mention it isn’t even cool to begin with, but there are still douchebags who think they can pull it off. Trust me, this is never rebellious in any way and only brings you in the level of total conioness.

Wearing sunglasses inside

We all know that it will probably be a time before we can wear our sunglasses outside the streets of Manila, due to the recent typhoon activities, but that doesn’t mean you can wear them inside.

Remove your sunglasses before you step inside unless you want to be treated as blind (in which case you shouldn't be able to read this) or a conio who always thinks he looks cool and important.
