10% of What Not To Wear

When I lived in Modesto the only place to eat lunch during work was in the breakroom. As a guy I was terribly out numbered and never able to pick the lunchtime TV show.

For 18 months I watched either the Maurey Povich or What Not to Wear. In WNTW, people with horrible clothes sense are nominated by their friends and given $5,000 to replace their old wardrobe. Because the hosts basically throw everything they own away.

The usual girl/clothes drama ensues. A few posts ago I mentioned needing help with my fashion sense for the Norway part of my upcoming vacation. No one offered to help. HAHAHA. So I read about some men's 2012 fashion trends, looked at clothing retailer websites and just went out and shopped today.

No way could I spend five grand, but I was able to spend almost $400 at J Crew, H&M, Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy. In that I got some pieces that will mix with some stuff I already have and really updated my 'look'.

I'm not a model, though I have modeled, so you get pictures of the clothes on the floor. Without too much of my toes peeking into the picture either.



Pair of rough twill/canvas shoes, white jeans, gray and brown chinos, striped t-shirts and a couple madras print shirts.




What do you think?

  2. Did you get a pair of Manpris? (man capris?) those are quite european, lets remember you are going to Norway, those crazy tall hot men are all about fitted fashion.

    I think you could fold up the pants to have manpris, those shoes will look good with them, unless you have a pair of comfortable oxfords to walk around in, which have been totally 'in' for quite some time now. Did you get a fitted jacket?

  3. 1. i did think of a jacket. i saw a few light weight fitted ones that would work. i just wasnt brave enough to do it.

    2. the shoes are espadrilles! haha.

    3. everything is a little more fitted than i normally get. especially the pants. i am an owner of white jeans! haha crazy.

    4. yes, i know the euro manpri well. i will probably try it once or twice while there. never here. the pants do look like it would be easy to do so.
