GLAM ROCK!

from: http://fashion.crishzaragoza.com/2008/12/13/glam-rock-for-men/

o guys...glam rock daw o!

First: The Pants

This is pretty simple for men. Just go for black pants or jeans. Any black and any jeans will do. However, if you are opting for denims, it’s best to go for something tight fit and dark in color. You can also go for white denims that are skinny fit… well, that’s just a suggestion. I know some men wouldn’t want to go down that lane. :) Hehe. But if you are serious about going Glam Rock for your Christmas Party, then look at the outfits of the Jonas Brothers.

Second: The Shirt

Nothing complicated here. Just wear mostly black T-shirts. It would be best if you have a black shirt with Rock band designs or Rock legends faces on it. Just remember, go for dark or loud colors! Also, go for a little tight fit shirt. Don’t wear collared shirts, by the way. Just top your shirt off with leather jacket, black jacket, or unbuttoned plaid shirt (preferrably dark colored). You can also top off your shirt with a vest. You can make use of black, leather, gray, white, or denim vests. A great tip to make it look more “Rock-ish” would be to add multiple pins. :)

Third: The Shoes

Always go for black or black with white or black with neon colors! Sneakers and rubber shoes would be nice but it won’t be bad to try leather boots too. :)

Fourth: The Accessories

Just go for leather bracelets and you’re done. But if you want more Glam Rock added to your outfit, then add dog tag necklaces, metallic/gothic bracelets, and the shutter shades in either pink, white, or black. It’s a funny accessory to add but will surely complete your Glam Rock outfit. Now if you want to do something to your hair, you can just mess it up and go for a wet look, color some parts pink, or just apply gel and raise them all up if you have short hair!

something i'd wear myself for this season...

inspiration for this season (summer/spring 2009) is very varried...there's color...earthy tones...the runways seem to be inundated by them...so here are some pieces i'd want in my closet...

Men's fashion have so evolved tremendously that it has taken an appreciable space in the runways which have always been the sanctuany of women. The fashion-forward man is not insecure about his sexuality, in fact, he celebrates it...He is not afraid to wear color, or to challenge the fashion-stereotypes he has been boxed in for so long...

Ermeneglido Zegna is just sharp. It defines the man in every one. When I die, i'd want to be burried in one of these suits.





ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA

Viktor and Rolf is not for the faint of heart...the color and the way they're put together takes a ceratin uhmmpphh for the avearge man to wear...
VIKTOR & ROLF
Victor Glemaud is just chic...it's very wearable and comfy-looking.

VERSACE
This season, SALVATORE FERRAGAMO's white ensembles are just impeccable. wearing them creates a distinction of some sort from the average man.

Pringle of Scotland is just very wearable...the colors are not very glaring or too forward...its the perfect addition to your casual wear...without being too bland and insipid.


PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND
Prada has always been on the avant-garde when it comes to the male clothing...this season, its more of the layers, and showing off these layers...not something we'd wear here in country...

Perry Ellis swings it both ways this season, there's the earth tones and the more colorful pieces.

Moschino is a must-have this season, these pieces are very versatile...they can be matched with other pieces and still look very sharp and manly...

Missoni's color palette is very retro, but not cheesy...the macho can wear them without worrying about their testosterone being compromised...

KRIS VAN ASSCHE interpreation of the very loose trousers and tight tops are very iconoclastic, while defying the skinny jeans trend, its doesnt say HIP-HOP...its just HIP!
