Hot Hints: 10 Details we love in menswear
mis à jour le 3 May 2019 à 22:57Sometimes a single detail can make all the difference in an outfit. So here's our list of style elements that no doubt attract us to men.
Let's just set the tone for this piece by saying, it's a serious look into what attracts us most to the male gender - sartorially of course. After all, it would take only 30 milliseconds for our brain to analyze a person so these fashion details could either make or break a man's sexy meter.
ROLLED SLEEVES
It's time to build your shirt closets because what could be more chic than a pretty fitted long sleeve shirt? And if it's too hot? Roll up those sleeves to mid arm - there's nothing sexier, especially if it's done to reveal a beautiful forearm.
A SWEATER WORN NEXT TO THE SKIN
Cotton or wool, doesn't matter but just avoid the V necklines. We much prefer the round collar sweaters or boat necks as they're so much more modern.
Apparent ANKLEs
After the slew of fancy socks, going "sockless" is no longer reserved for elegant dandies. Associated with chinos and sneakers, going sockless appeals to fans of sportswear specifically.
His travel bag
Because the bag speaks volumes about his travelling. An overnight leather bag, that's slightly worn, gives him the notion of a chic adventurer ready to go on a world tour - we love!
Adjusted T-shirt
As for jeans, the choice of the T-Shirt is essential. Go for cotton pieces that are in a round neck; close fitting but not too tight and with simple seams. So leave your Mario Bros models or ZZ Top in the closet, or reserve them for Sundays at home.
Glasses: Ray Ban Clubmaster
Whether there's sun or not, your sunglasses should mount his "browline" (line of eyebrows), as was publicized in the 1950s and 60s by Malcolm X. In terms of spectacles, Ray Bans are the perfect blend of chic cool.
Man Bun
Long hair that's casually held in a bun has made the success of some men like Brock O'Hurn with 1.2 million followers on Instagram.
A well-cut suit
Any self-respecting man should at least own one. If it is a real investment for some, tell yourself that a good quality one will keep for a long time. If you do need to pick one, go for neutral colors like black, anthracite gray or navy.
Good jeans
It's a puzzle we know! Whether it is for us women or for men, finding the right cut in the right wash is a mammoth of a task. We opt for straight jeans, preferably in a solid color. Washes that are too pronounced should be a no no.
Your pet
Yes I hear you are indignant here, and we agree with you: pets are not fashion accessories! But we needed a good excuse to drag these lovely photos in our slideshow.
