Look for Less: Guys "Glamour"

Okay fellas, to play off the ladies tip yesterday for the week, we will be doing a "Look for Less" post for you as well. Now we know it may sound a bit funny-style whenever we say "Guys Glamour" but the fact of the matter is, guys can look glamorous/sophisticated as well. Of course your sophisticated outfits won't be as cheap as the ladies prices, but we will do our best, as always, to give you some options at stores that you don't have to spend an arm and a leg in to get these looks. Sooo..without further a due... here we go..!


     Look number 1 comes from none other than Trey Songz. Trey has a pretty great sense of style and looks really nice in sophisticated, clean-cut looks! To the right he is seen in a more casual, clean-cut look. In his photoshoot with Rocawear he wore a grey and black sweatshirt with a pair of white pants. Something about the color white makes an outfit look sophisticated if worn properly. We can't see his shoes, but we assume we went with something black. Maybe some black boat or loafer-type shoes.

     To get a similar look to Trey's that kinda caters to this extremely hot weather were experiencing, try a lightweight sweater/sweatshirt like this one ---> Insight Pullover in this "red"/coral color. Make sure it is fitted so it can still be a clean-cut look as a sweatshirt and you roll/push up the sleeves. For pants you can do this pair of extremely light Grey Fitted Pants if you're not into skinny jeans or these... Light Grey Super Skinny Jeans if you are. To finish this look off do this pair of Dark Navy Sperry Boat Shoes  and you're set! 3 simple pieces that can be mixed and matched with something else can create one casual, clean-cut look.

Moving right along to look number 2...
    
    
      Look number 2 comes from Tyrese. He is seen in the picture to left wearing a simple, clean-cut out fit, that is a bit dressier due to the leather jacket. With his almost mocha-colored jacket, he just did a white v-neck with a pair of dark wash jeans. He then did a black belt with a pair of brown and black low-top shoes.
     To get a look similar to Tyrese's, start with this Black Faux Leather Moto Jacket from Urban Outfitters. Just pair a V-Neck Tee under to keep the simplicity of the outfit. You can also go 2 different routes with the tee, color like the teal blue one to make it more casual or plain white to keep it simple/sleek. If you do the color tee route, you can try a pair of grey jeans like so.....Grey Levi Jeans or if you did the plain white tee, try these Grey Chino Pants.
     You guessed it...shoes will depend on what color tee and bottoms you chose. For the causal look with the jeans and pop of color under the jacket, try this pair of Grey 2 Strap Mid Sneakers. For the black, white, and grey look you can do something similar to either pair of these black shoes.. Oxfords or Wingtip Shoes.

    
     Last but not least, a full suit look. This look comes from Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo...knows how to "hang a suit" so that's definitely why we chose him for this look. He is seen to the right, with his wife Lala..both of them on point! Carmelo went with a tan suit, white and navy checkered button-up, a white/navy/tan tie, and a pair of darker tan shoes. The colors flow well together and that's the type of look we are going to suggest!
     You should definitely invest in a suit and a great place to go is Express! Take this Gray Suit and pair it with this 1MX Fitted Shirt in the Royal Purple color. For a tie, try either one of these ... Purple Striped Tie, Purple Plaid Tie, or Black Solid Tie. Then as far as shoes go, do a plain black pair of dress shoes like these Cap-Toe Dress Oxfords (out whatever type of dress shoes you prefer) from Dillard's! Simple, right to the point, but a great look!


     We hope you got some information from this post that you can use. Looking sophisticated as a guy is definitely a bomb look. Whether you do a casual, clean-cut look or a suit, there are a lot of options!
