Sometimes, a busy day is inevitable. You’re meeting up with a friend for coffee at their favorite local cafe, shopping for a gift for your girlfriend’s birthday that is fast approaching, and have some work to get done. Afterword’s, you might meet up with the guys for a drink or two, and have no time
Men’s Fashion
Remember when you were younger and your mom would put every crayon drawing you did on the fridge as though you were the next Basquiat (no matter how, err, crap)? That’s the reaction you want from a mother’s day gift. Except, rather than give your gift pride of place in the home, the aim is
Most men think that the key to a great shave is the razor. But that is only a piece of the puzzle. An excellent shaving brush is just as crucial to a wonderful shave, if not more critical, we’d argue, than the razor or even the shaving bowl itself. Shaving brushes are key to softening
These days, beards come in many wonderful shapes and sizes. From well-crafted facial fuzz to the mighty modern man mane (try saying that five times fast)—and everything in between—if you’re lucky enough to have beard-growing capabilities, the sky really is the limit. But, while there are plenty of beard styles out there to play with,
The ever-humble joggers for men have recently had the glow up of the century. A true rag to riches story, the best joggers take athleisure from slob to sleek and traverse much further than the bedroom or couch. Today, joggers for men can be worn anywhere from the living room to the office to the
Whether you are a minimalist on a mission to build the perfect capsule wardrobe or a maximalist who takes pride in acquiring the coolest fashion items each season, a pair of black jeans for men is essential. It’s easy to think that blue jeans are the most versatile bottoms for men – but let’s face
We all know that a pair of crisp, white sneakers are definitely a staple piece for a stylish men’s wardrobe. But what about black sneakers for men? Are they up to par? The answer is yes, and in some aspects, black shoes could even be considered to have more value than their white counterparts. Darker
Cold feet are a fact of winter, as reliable as dark mornings and drunken Decembers. The shoes you wear the rest of the year-round – perforated trainers that let the chill in and low-rise shoes that let the rain in – just won’t cut it in the worst of the weather. You need some of
For some guys, there’s still a hesitation around yoga classes, but more men than ever are throwing shapes to get a different kind of fitness https://www.fashionbeans.com/article/best-yoga-classes-men/. It’s an increasingly popular workout, with benefits including improved flexibility, muscle strength, and overall physical conditioning. Not to mention yoga’s close relationship with mental wellbeing. When starting any new
There is nothing more embarrassing than impressing everyone with your impeccable fashion sense just to blow it once you expose your ratty, hole-filled, faded socks peeking out from under your perfectly tailored trousers. You might think “hey, why do I need to put thought into my dress socks if no one actually sees them?” To
Although it’s a bold assertion, there is truth in the thinking that there isn’t anything Tom Ford can’t turn his stylish hand to, be it fashion, films or, in this case, Tom Ford colognes. While many designers have successfully established a presence in the world of scents – Saint Laurent, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Christian Dior
Much like the hair on the top of your head, beards require some TLC (trimmer loving care). After all, there’s only one Gandalf, and his approach to facial hair doesn’t slip easily into many 21st century looks. You can style a beard for different seasons, different growth patterns, and different face shapes, but whether you mix
You know what they say about socks… No? Nice. Makes our job that much easier. Okay then, here’s what “they” say about socks, according to “us.” Socks say more about you than you think. Especially when it comes to colorful socks. Err too far on the novelty end and you risk falling into try-hard territory.
Nice day at the spa, right? Could be. Or this could be today, tonight, or any old day at home… but only if you’re well-versed in the art of leisuring properly. Step 1: get yourself a robe. A good men’s robe should be considered a staple in every gentleman’s closet — and to help you
Pause, if you will, and envision the most majestic creature ever to roam a perfectly edged patch of zoysia. A paternal figure so exotic, so pure as to make a basket of Chili’s Southwestern Egg Rolls quake in its wrappers. Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you… well, the dad. Dads. You get it. But
What would you think if we told you that a good men’s thermal shirt is the next thing you need to build a stylish and practical wardrobe? Right off the bat, you might raise your eyebrows and imagine those old-fashioned long johns (both top and bottom) that your mom made you wear during your elementary
Since when did it become socially acceptable to wear sweat shorts outside the house? When we look back at the pre-pandemic era, the only instances when we could guiltlessly wear sweat shorts outside the house were to throw out the trash or maybe to get the groceries (even that was a stretch sometimes). One of
It’s not hard to remember a time when acids were confined to chemistry class or the weapon of choice for Bond villains. Nasty, dangerous liquids that you wouldn’t want anywhere near you, let alone on your face. Fast forward a few years, and chemical exfoliants containing just that have gone mainstream, stepping out of medical
These days, if you’re not a pogonophile yourself, there’s a fair chance you know someone who is. (We’ll wait here while you Google it.) Brushing off claims that peak beard has been and passed, the facial hair trend is here to stay. And with beards now a firm part of men’s facial furniture, the emphasis
There are enough rules in life as it is. Some, however, are there to help. Like the rules that govern how to dress well. Of course, every man or woman that has an opinion on such things speaks from personal experience – and no doubt what works for one doesn’t always work for another; or
You don’t have to be a haulier to get a lot of mileage out of a trucker. Or a cowboy. The jean jacket (as its founding fathers call it in US) has, like a lot of workwear staples, gone from being a beat-up old-reliable of menswear to a go-to for more dress codes than you’d
The best thing about beards, foamy-moustache funtimes aside, is their impermanence. Maybe you’ll grow one and forever shall it remain. Perhaps you’ll sample stubble and then go running for the razor. Either way, it’s a switch-up to your style that’s intrinsically transient. No two days of bearding are ever the same. It’s perpetually changing. And
The cold-weather headwear landscape is a notoriously tricky area to traverse. Beanies are basically the only vaguely acceptable option, and let’s face it, they’re hardly held in high regard by followers of fashion. You can’t really blame them either. After all, usually when these woollen warmers stray into the public fashion consciousness, there have been
Every decade has a signature haircut. The fifties had a neat short, back and sides, the seventies had long hair and sideburns, the eighties had mullets. In the nineties, it was all about curtains. Worn by everyone from David Beckham and Brad Pitt to countless boyband members and that guy from Dawson’s Creek, it was
