When news broke yesterday that in a new autobiography, Andre Agassi admits to once using crystal meth, the estimable Waffles McButter wrote on his Facebook wall: "That at least explains his attire in the early 90's." We've growing up watching Agassi and watched him leave his heart and soul on the court nearly every time, so we won't harp on this latest revelation, except to follow Waffles' lead and serve up the best Agassi fashion choices from over the years -- not to mention his glorious flow.  Keep Reading »

We live in an age where people use fashion as a tool to express themselves and their own individuality -- which can be good or bad. You can tell certain things about a man or a woman, just based on what they are wearing. For instance; if a woman wearing a low-cut, red dress and 4-inch stiletto heals walks by me or sees me at a bar, she is most likely going to get the dick lashing of a lifetime later that night. Or, if a guy is wearing cargo pants with a dress shirt and tie to work, you can pretty much conclude that his prick's never seen the inside of anything other than his cat's ass.

For men, we are slightly more limited in our clothing choices but we can still look unique if we go about it properly. The double-edged sword we face is that in recent years, the world of fashion has given us more options than should ever be allowed, because let's face it, some guys have no clue when it comes to matching a T-shirt and shorts, let alone being well dressed or even put together in a respectable manner. There are some trends in fashion right now that could leave a clueless man looking like a complete douche bag. These trends involve repulsive clothes that should never be worn by a man, no matter the situation. Whoever determined that these five items below were "stylish," "fashionable," or "hip" is deserving of a swift and stubborn kick to their face:


T-Shirts with (not so) Clever Sayings
The truth is, champ, you don't "pre-game harder than I party," that isn't "what she said," you haven't had sex so you can't "pull-out," and you're not "Jesus' homeboy." In fact, along with the rest of us, he hates your fucking guts. Now go silkscreen that on a tee.  Keep Reading »

When it comes to professional sports drafts I love to watch how the up-and-comers will dress. Confidence is everything when choosing an outfit for draft night but you don't want to look like an absolute idiot. Players in the NBA are known for crazy-ass styles but it takes a couple of years to be able to do stuff like Grandmama. Anyway, here are my five best dressed players in last night's draft.


5. Brandon Jennings, Milwaukee Bucks. Fashionably late and the first of three players on our list who chose purple and wore it like a boss.  Keep Reading »

So, I've been on to Bonobos and their "Awesome Fitting Trousers" for a while now. Basically, every time over the past year that I've worn my crappy "party jeans" out on the town, a fashion-savvy female friend will take one look at my lower extremities and ask: "Haven't you bought Bonobos yet?"

"Bono did what? Huh? I can't year you!"

And then we'll both shrug, I'll spill my drink all over myself, and I'll forget about what she was trying to ask me in the first place.

After the 14th time this happened, I caught on and checked out the Bonobos website. This new-ish online-only men's clothing line consists of this: Pants and lots of 'em. They're handmade in NYC in limited quantities and tailored with the average dude in mind (nothing too tight and nothing too frumpy). You can get them for the beach, bar, or boardroom.  Keep Reading »

In less than one month, my pale, sloppily dressed ass is heading to Los Angeles for a week. I visit LA frequently -- I even used to live there -- but every time I return, without fail, I get a case of the sartorial hebee jeebees. Even though I know the drill -- freshly pressed T-shirts, $400 dollars jeans, and hair styled like you're on your way to a chewing gum audition -- the town has a way of making me feel downright self-conscious. Even the slobs in LA look camera-ready.

To add insult to injury, it doesn't help that I'm dead broke. So you can imagine how, umm, pleased I was to get wind of Artificial Flavor's Spring Survival Kit deal. Take your pick from three different "clothing kits" for dudes -- Rocky, Rambo, and Cobra -- that are reasonably priced and look pretty darn LA, to boot.

Each kit, specially priced at $99, $89, and $70 comes with three items: Killer sweat shorts and a mix of sleek jackets, blazers, shirts, and the like. Every kit comes with a bonus pair of chick magnet underwear.

I'm partial to the $89 Rocky kit that comes with sweatpants, sweat shorts, a sleek black blazer, and a very-LA mesh cardigan. The gear isn't as macho as the names suggest, but I'll take 'em. Check out the Rocky kit in its full glory in the below video.  Keep Reading »

Opening Ceremony, ye old hipster clothing shoppe with locations in LA and NYC's Chinatown, just launched a web store. OC is kind of intimidating, yeah, but we gotta keep up with all those
cool kids in their skinny jeans and organic cotton T-shirts from Japan. American Apparel is pretty much the new Abercrombie & Fitch right down to the catalogs), so this makes OC the new Brooks Brothers. Or something like that.

Anyway, we've pretty much resigned ourselves to the fact that we are going to buy one of the new Timex 80 watches ($50) that OC is peddling. These old school, rubber-strapped digital watches are pretty hard to find in the US but OC got \`em in Hurple Haze, Blue Dance, Grey Ash, Yellow Switch, and for the man completely secure with his masculinity, Pink Power. The watches come with all the good stuff : Indigo backlight, stopwatch, alarm, date, and, yes, even the time.

If you don't watch the "Today Show" on a regular basis (i.e. if you're not a Midwestern housewife), you're likely not familiar with Gilt Groupe -- a website offering designer apparel at discounted prices. While most of the stuff is for women, they always seem to have at least one or two stellar men's sales as well. (Seriously, the other day they had Jack Spade messenger bags on sale for like 100 bucks.) This week, the site is offering threads from a slew of designers in a large sale they've (quite originally) dubbed Men's March Madness. The deal ends at midnight on March 24 and you'll have to sign up to view the goods, but just to give you an idea, here's who's on sale: Benjamin Bixby, Canterbury of New Zealand, Hyden Yoo, J Lindeberg, Loomstate, Marc by Marc Jacobs (at left), Sergio Rossi, Tony Melillo, and Trovata.

With April less than a month away, its time for the fashion-conscious guy to begin thinking about his spring footwear and how to adapt to the crappy weather sure to come. I've been caught in the rain with the wrong shoes too many times to count. For this reason, I've scoured many different stores in search of a sleek, chic, and affordable rain shoe for men. I found numerous options but the best bang for your buck is the $60 Tretorn "Strala" Rain Boot at Nordstrom. It comes in both black and brown and it goes well with jeans and dress pants alike.

What about when the weather's cooperating? I'm not even sure if it makes sense to put these in the "Apparel Watch" because these next shoes are $1,800, but I'm doing it anyway. Master designer Thom Browne is known for his close, custom tailoring and design in his suits, but he has stepped outside the box -- as he usually does -- to team up with Converse to design a limited edition Jack Purcell sneaker. It's a patchwork grosgrain ribbon sneaker design that is reminiscent of the inner lining on many of Browne's tailored cardigans (see the detail picture at left from his Spring 2009 Show). An original Jack Purcell Converse model will run you $40, but if you want a kick of Thom Browne you'll have to pay extra.

Mr. Kanye West, the self-proclaimed "Louis Vuitton Don," is back and you've gotta love him. Kanye, who was spotted recently sitting front row at the Spring/Summer Louis Vuitton fashion show in Paris, has designed a line of five LV sneakers. One of the sneakers was featured in the show -- and also worn by Kanye that day -- a monochromatic red mid-top with a quilted flap in the back, which makes it easier to tuck pants into (shown above). Two other designs -- a sneaker/loafer type shoe in all white and and all-white high-top with a pink sole -- were featured on Kanye's blog earlier this month.

Kanye says he wanted to do something different and was inspired by science fiction, Japanese pop art, and a movie scene in "Dune" where a character sported a jacket with a high collar. I love the sneakers and wish I had the money to buy me a pair or two. The shoes are due out in June at Louis Vuitton stores.

The Associated Press was able to catch up to Kanye at the LV show. Check out the video after the jump.  Keep Reading »

For all the talk about the First Lady's dress yesterday, few have mentioned just what President Obama was wearing. Turns out, it was bullet-proof clothing. As Slate explains, "Miguel Caballero, a Colombian company,...  Keep Reading »
