Fashiona on Mens Fashion
Fashiona has worked as Mens Designer for years so why doesn’t she talk about Mens Fashion. She certainly thinks about it enough and reads everything from DNR to Details.
So makes a stylish man? Men like, women vary in their style choices. Some are trendsetters and like to mix it up like Andre 3000. He likes the dandy style and certainly has the swagger to pull it off.

Fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy is the king of classic dressing. He often dressed classic fans like Audrey Hepburn and Jacqueline Kennedy.

At six feet six and impeccably mannered, Givenchy introduced the idea of the fashion uniform: He would wear his white linen work smock over his dark suits with his signature pinkie ring. He believed that “Underdressing is the only sin.” Tim Gunn continues the fashion uniform tradition often wearing a grey suit. Givenchy, retired from fashion in 1995, has softened his look a bit often seen in jeans and a T-shirt.
Common 
is most often seen with a cap and an impeccably shaped beard. He favors sweaters and slim fitting(not tight) pants. He is every bit of a man and is a poster child for the modern metrosexual.
Whatever style a man chooses:
- He should ALWAYS be himself.
- Find a good tailor. Fit is makes the man.
- And in the words of Givenchy “You should never be afraid to be the best-dressed man in the room.”
