Dapper & daring, 5 Male Fashion Influencers you wish you had followed sooner!
Help you choose from the right fabric to fit your body shape and save you from stocking retail buying that you may never actually wear; our shout-out to these five influencers is a must-read for you!
Fashion, a statement of one’s style, has been a countenance shared by both men and women. History offers a stylish and robust narration of how men’s fashion has evolved and was influenced by the Victorian era and the pre-war and post-war times. Men’s fashion merely crawled in some early decades of the 1900s unimaginatively; it focused on tall and lean looks and then gradually set the mark of elegance by gentlemanly dressing in the mid-1900s. From the 1980s, then gliding with glory into the 21st century, it took an unfolding of diverse influences from across music such as jazz, disco and pop, culture and business on men, their mannerisms and machismo. Men can claim every right to dress up and for a purpose too. The vast 650 billion dollars worth of men’s apparel alone talks about the size of the men’s fashion segment.
You know you are a style-conscious man if you pay attention to details in what you purchase, what you wear, how and where you wear it. Not to miss out on the big boost to confidence and one’s mood the fashion factor has to offer. We don’t want to dwell on or encourage dialogue on how good fashion-consciousness is for men or the pros and cons of dating a style-conscious man; any discussion is as deep as the sea. We are skipping to the good parts to bring you seasoned fashion influencers from the ateliers of social media. One may be fashion-conscious, but these fashion influencers share ideas and inspirations that get you to make the point and do it sustainably.
