Pretty City: Male Fashion Icons and the Eye-Catching Way to a Lady's Heart

Recently, I was asked to help a male friend with fashion advice. He wanted to know what to wear and when to wear it. I told him that the worst thing you can do is pull the average polo shirt and nice jeans bit at a bar. You walk into any bar and it seems like there are 100 clones all standing around. If you want to stand out you have to take some risks.
Guys from the United States question why girls like European guys so much. Yes, their accents are adorable but most of the attraction is because they take care of themselves. Every time they leave the house their clothes are ironed and put together. They have slacks and button downs and even if they only own two outfits they look much better than the average male from North America's entire closet. All of these thoughts brought me to the idea of fashion icons. What men really influence fashion besides the designers themselves? How can we show men what we want? Here are a few sharp dressed men that encompass class:


ED WESTWICK- British actor/musician, most well known for his part as "Chuck" on Gossip Girl, has brought dapper back. He wears vibrant colors, 3 piece suits and always looks well groomed. Watch an episode of Gossip Girl to get hints from the Chuck Bass wardrobe. We promise we won't tell anyone.

If you want to go for a more sporty look. Check out US Rapper, Kanye West's looks.

If you want to add a touch more rock 'n' roll to the look check out Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz but please remember to shower.



If you are a bit more casual and maybe slightly nerdy go for the Adam Brody (of The OC and Thank You for Smoking) look.



Last but not least, for future fashion icons of the younger generation, check out The Jonas Brothers and Zac Efron.
