Fashion Setters
It is fantastic to see a boy band leading us when it comes to men’s fashion. For far too long men are just existing when it comes to style. They are not afraid of colour. They embrace the messy hairstyle look and male grooming. They love braces and it is flattering to see, on appropriate occasions they wear youthful funky suits. Even thought they have the money to splurge on any clothing label, you know as young boys you can head to Topman, Urban Outfitters or even H&M and get the same look.
Head in a similar direction, create your own take on what looks good on you right now. Men’s fashion is getting a whole lot hotter this 2012.
