American Men and “European” style

Ok I must first say that I love a man who appears to be wearing clothing tailored for his specific body type.  But most men here in America don’t always know how to pull off that “European” look.  Just because you’re wearing a fitted shirt or tight jeans doesn’t mean you’re giving off the same affect.   European styled clothing just means there is more tailoring involved to contour one’s body.  A shirt one or two sizes smaller or straight legged pants a size smaller doesn’t mean you’re pulling off the European look.  I had to address this because a lot of women are starting to get tired of you walking around in “ball” crunchers.  I believe any man at any size can pull it off as long as it’s done right.  Recently I saw a well dressed man who was in urban gear “tailored” to contour his physique, but then he walked past and I turned to notice his sagging jeans showing off his Hugo Boss boxers.  I love Hugo Boss boxers on men but I don’t want to see yours in the middle of Union Station.  If the European look is going to be pulled off there must be some bounders and rules and I’ve found a few: 
                                                                                                                                                                            
1.       Only buy clothing that fit
2.       Look for items that has great tailoring for your body type
3.       Don’t be afraid to experiment with clothing
4.       Try on and consult someone with an objective view and then try on again
5.       If all else fails, if it’s pinching your skin it’s just too small

When done right, the look is not only classic but it gives the appearance that you definitely care how you look.  Keep it sexy, keep it clean, and always keep it you.
