So I notice only a handful of guys know how to take care of themselves.
The problem is most guys have no idea where to start. So I'm here to help answer your questions.
Feel free to ask any questions regarding grooming, hygiene, clothing, hair styles, body posture, etc.

P.S. Posting pictures is helpful.

I'm kind of a stud. A major stud. How do I be less of a stud so my friends can get girls too.

The Love the idea behind this thread, so ask away I shall. While I am currently using Kenneth Cole 'Black' as a scent, I am always looking for new colognes to try. Could I get your top five suggestions.

Also, I wondering if you could suggest a good body soap?

Also could you go into some Hygiene tips you feel guys are likely to overlook?

My top 5 suggestions for colognes would be the following:
1) Guilty by Gucci (Crisp and clean smell with sweet tones) Gotten more compliments on this cologne than any one Ive ever owned.
2) Summer Code by Armani (Smells like grapefruit, cedarwood, and musk)
3) Paul Sebastian by Paul Sebastian (Citrus with wood scents)
4) Green Irish Tweed by Creed (Woody floral musk)
5) Passion by Elizabeth Taylor (Floral and vanilla scent)

However I change my selection in colognes every few months just right now these are some scents I enjoy. Some other scents I've liked are Armani Code, Aqua Di Gio by Armani, and True Religion Drifter.

As for body soaps I like to get a body wash that is the smell of my cologne. You can find them at places like Macys, etc.


Some of the biggest hygiene tips I see over looked are ear wax, flossing, an abundance of neck hair growth, and finger nails that need to be cut or are dirty.

I am not sure if you are serious or not but there is nothing you can do to make your friends grow some balls. That is something they have to work through on their own.

Thanks a lot bro, I am loving this thread so far. The cologne answers really helped me also.

Tips on Fragrances

Like an outdated piece of clothing, fragrances that are out can have the same effect on your style. Changing your fragrances every now and then is a must do.


1. Picking Out A Fragrance.

A) People selling fragrances at your local store will be your best friend. They know what sells and what is popular among your age group. Ask them what is currently popular.

B) Out of the fragrances you are shown you should smell them all. Just because someone recommends a cologne doesn’t mean it will smell good

C) I’d say pick out two fragrances and only two. Why? Well it’s good to have a different smell from when you go out in the day and when you go out at night.

D) Only buy the small bottles! There is no reason to buy giant bottles that will last you five years. The reasoning behind this is after a year fragrances will begin to lose there scents and won’t last as long on your body.


2. Making Scents Last

A) Dry skin is one of the main reasons fragrances don’t last long. There is a number of things you can do to prevent your skin from drying out. A few are: 1. Cold showers (heat drys out your skin) If you must take warm showers make them fast. 2. Drying off with a towel. Make sure you pat your skin! 3. Lotion. Well enough is said there.

B) Don’t spray cologne on your shirts! It will not last.

C) These are places you can spray cologne to make it last longer and will amply the smell due to heat. Behind the ears, the base of your neck, armpits, the inner part of your elbow, your wrists, and behind your knees (not a common spot).

D) Hair also makes for a great way to hold scents.


3. Less Is More
Don’t apply to all the places mentioned above please. Don’t be like a kid with Axe. Less is more.

Ok, Serj, I'm in.

I am going to go out Saturday and/or Sunday to look at buying some new clothes. I'm not going crazy, just adding a couple dress shirts, maybe a sportcoat. I only have one suit, one pair of dark jeans, and two sweaters to categorize as "upscale."

You've seen my pic, dude, what kinds of colors/styles would immediately pop to your mind as "oh, Z's trying to be sophisticated, I bet he'd look cool in this."

Well as we discussed in chat this is for your new job.
Some things I found that I thought looks civilized were:
http://obeyclothing.com/men/jackets/bal ... ket-1.html
http://www.7diamonds.com/shop/button-do ... -of-dreams
I suggest just look through 7diamonds website. There dress shirts are very nice and made of good lasting material.
For ties I recommend matching it to your shirt and coat that you wear.
Just remember plaid and stripes don't mix.
If you are looking for a good fitting suit I suggest www.moderntailor.com
You can even buy perfect fitting button downs there as well.

I personally think a navy blue suit or gray suit would fit your skin color since you are fair skinned. Black might be a bit to contrasting.

P.S. if you are going with some regular t shirts go with something simple and can be easily matched with other items.
www.diesel.com
www.guess.com
These two sights can give you simple ideas for t shirts/henleys.
They are a bit overpriced but you can find other shirts very similar to these with ease

Oh great Serj,
I ask for your assistance!

I've over the last year really got into bodybuilding and grown quite a lot.
But the problem I'm facing is that a lot of my clothes are just too small for me now.
Plus the clothes I have bought to fit my shoulders and back, are way to loose around my waist and just look loose and baggy.

Any suggestions on styles or any sites I could visit to get clothes that will fit my body shape well and look good at the same time?

Cheers in advance!
Rev

Nowadays ( The one on the left)



Hair tips would be great, reccomendations on clothing would be too =)

Thanks.

The thing with clothes is there will always be a challenge in finding something that fits.
You are going to need to go through stuff one by one until you find the right fit for you.
However if you are looking for suits and button downs www.moderntailor.com is a site where you can put in your measurements to have a shirt or suit fit perfectly.
Also a lot of my body builder friends say that express has stretch cotton shirts that fit them nicely.
