Outfit of the Week #34

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

This week for Outfit of the Week we have this!

A look by Lookbooker BILLY H. 

This week we have a unique high fashion street look by BILLY H. It seemed at first that he is wearing nothing but expensive brands in fact most are affordable threads all but his shoes which is from Givenchy. I just want to emphasize that we do not need to buy really expensive clothes/shoes/accessories to look good. It is all about mixing and matching the right colours and the right accessories, even our hairstyle would make a difference!

Outfit of the Week #24

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to the 24th edition of Outfit of the Week! This week we are having this outfit!

A Look from from Lookbooker FLANEUR. L

This week we are going hoodie and grunge! I really like Flaneur's hoodie because it literally does ROCKS! I believe that hoodies like this are inexpensive and easy to find, not to mention about those shorts and black leggings too. The only thing I was reconsidering are the leather shoes, I still regard them as something dressy and smart looking. I'd personally go for sneakers or at least black canvas shoes. What do you think?

Outfit of the Week #20

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

This week's Outfit of the Week is this! 

A look by Martan on his Lookbook page

Standard clothes you probably find in most men who are sports fan, the sport jerseys! You probably be wondering, how do I wear legwear with sports jerseys? Martan, our frequent feature lookbooker will show you how here. Black shorts are pretty easy to get.. and well you probably don't have those fancy looking studded black leather shoes but I'm sure you'd have the same kind of shoes as he does, however spotting these shoes makes you look more creative putting fashion into play here. Nothing wrong with having fancy shoes sometimes, just as in case you don't know, women do pay attention to the shoes men wear! Unless you're going for a deliberate torn shoes look. It's really up to you!

Outfit of the Week #12

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to the 12th OOTW! This week we got this!

This image was found in www.aliexpress.com

First impression I had of the model was..."Whoa!! A 21st century Robin hood without his bow and arrow!" Well not because he was wearing tights like in the film "Robin Hood Men in Tights" It was mostly because of the green he was wearing; his hate and shirt. I'm apparently not that skinny as he is but I think this outfit takes a lot of guts to wear, I mean okay black tights are fine to wear... but grey is something a little different altogether and looking how short those shorts are this outfit is not for the new and uninitiated gentleman. This is one outfit I would recommend for veterans who doesn't really give a heck about what other people think. I think the shoes were fine but I think high cuts would be nicer though. What do you think?

Outfit of the Week #11

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

This week's Outfit of the Week is this! 

This is a look put up together by Fashion Designer Antonio Azzuolo, my first impression of the outfit was it gave me a visually refreshing and cool feeling towards it. It was refreshing because of his sky blue coloured outerwear and white turtleneck top along with his mirror reflective shades. What I really caught my attention wear his gloves, these were the fingerless gloves that you see worn by tactical ops personnel and sometimes race car drivers, well he may not be getting away anywhere soon, but hey it kinda works here I think.. his high cut sneakers kind of blends into his legs but doesn't really do so because of the very obvious opaque black tights. I find some interest in the capri length pants he got on, nice desert brown colour going on there! You guys could try it out this weekend and look refreshing to the people around you!

Outfit of the Week #10

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to this week's OOTW! And today's OOTW is this! 

This look was done up by Givenchy which most of you might have seen their Autumn/Winter collections that feature many male models strutting their legwear on the runway. And yes since it's winter season it is only right to keep not just your body warm.. but your legs warm too! This look is really very simple but cool! It gives a really cool street/B-Boy look for the younger men out there, the baseball cap and the high cut sneakers. And what mostly stands out in the outfit is really the print of the shirt, the legwear as its black doesn't really scream out loud for men out there but for the trained eye and yes.. the women will definitely notice them but hey as far I noticed most women I can tell you are totally fine with men wearing tights as long as they look good in them. Many would say "Why not?" though some might giggle or chuckle but it's something I'm sure they could live with but it's the mostly the men that would act really "alpha" and go like.. "Oh nahhh I'm a really manly guy, I don't need to wear these tights to keep warm!" Yeah sure.. mate you can carry on shivering and pretending not to feel cold there. :P 

Give this a try this season!

Weekly Vibes #1

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

I'd thought I'd do a weekly update on what's going on for myself individually, for the past few days I have been communicating with Jessica from http://fantasystockings.com/ and do look out for a coming exclusive interview with her! Also I have been quite active on Lookbook and I have noticed that there are many people out there who are actually quite open with the idea of having tights as part of male accessory! Been having a handful of female Lookbookers fanning my page and along with female fashion designers fanning me and following Legwear Fashion For Men Blog!

Recently I have been looking around at LAUF and found that Urban Outfitters actually did use legwear for marketing 2 of their outerwear products!

The interesting part was that they actually weren't marketing the tights/leggings in the photos but in fact they were selling the tops! Hence giving the idea that one could actually style clothes with legwear!



Interestingly today as I was having a lunch chat with my female friend in a restaurant wearing one of my usual outfits the with Activskin A857 ribbed tights and shorts. I saw one of the female customer who was waiting to pay the bill pointing at my legs to her other female friend and I could somehow hear her say.. "See he is wearing stockings!" and the friend looked and didn't have much of a reaction. But the girl who spotted me.. her facial reaction was pretty intrigued than that of her friends. I didn't feel weird or anything, in fact deep inside of me I was laughing. I actually kinda enjoyed the attention I got.. however most importantly I felt that I have made an impact that it is fashionably possible for a guy to wear tights with shorts!

Today I bought a new pair of shoes from TOPMAN, bidding farewell to my brown TOPMAN shoes.

New TOPMAN shoes! :)

Hosiery wise, I'm actually not very sure on what's next to get, I'm looking at Fashion tattoo tights, however size seems to be quite of a concern to me. Any recommendations?
