Polo With Jeans

Today will be the first day of my Great Singapore Sale. Due to the nature of my job, I do not have to wear smartly, hence I'm mostly in tees with jeans. I will prefer to wear something a little more formal but yet comfortable enough so as not to impede my work. A Polo with Jeans combination seems to fit the bill.

It looks really cool and to think I use to associate Ralph Lauren with oldies or maybe I'm becoming an oldie myself.

My Shopping List For Today.
- Polo Shirt
- Belt
- Cuffs
- Shoes

My challenge now is to look for the correct combination and the best bargain.

Polos comes stripped or solid colors. I already have a blue stripped on white polo from Abercrombie and intend to buy another two more. (White, Stripped Red or Light Brown).

I will stick to the canvas belt in the picture. A pale white or light brown will also do.

Wrists cuffs. I have something in mind from Chinatown. A touch of Asian flavor will be nice.

Shoes are my biggest headache, I already have a pair of white Puma Sneakers and I don't want to buy another pair of white ones. After browsing through other sites, a pair of light brown sneakers seems nice as well.

While I took the idea from Ralph Lauren, it is too expensive for me unless they have a sale. Looking good in your clothes is important but not burning a hole in your wallet is equally important as well. Hence always find a right balance between looking good and being practical. My job involves some manual labor and there will always be a chance that I might dirty my clothes so no way will I buy a $100 polo.

Hey where's the jeans? Buying the perfect jeans is not easy, it differs from every individual. I will delicate another day just for jeans but that doesn't mean I won't be trying anything on today.

I will probably not buy everything stated here today. I'm kind of a fussy shopper but still I intend to return home with something.

My $1000 Wardrobe Make Over Challenge

The annual Great Singapore Sale (25 May - 22 July 2007) is here. It is a good opportunity for me to revamp my entire Wardrobe. I was thinking of throwing away all my old clothes first but it is too extreme. I won't have anything to wear tomorrow.

My Shopping List
Contact Lens
Jeans
Cargo Pants
Shirts
T-Shirts
Dress Shoes
Sneakers
Sun Glasses
Toothbrush
Shaver
Vacuum Cleaner

A Vacuum Cleaner?? Ya, I know that it has little relation to Men's wear but I thought it would be handy and fashionable too.

About Men's Fashion Blog

I've been surfing around looking for men's fashion, though there are sites like mensfashion and men.style.com that offer Men's fashion style and tips, but I hardly see any any personal site on Men's Fashion. I'm sure that they are many guys out there who love to shop and look good.

I've to admit that I'm a guy with no fashion sense. I am still wearing clothes I bought 10yrs ago, I could count the number of times I went shopping in the last 10 years and when I do buy any clothes, they are usually very expensive and looks horrid on me.

This blog is a personal effort of mine to force myself to be more fashion savvy and to show the girls that guys make great shoppers too!
