bags for men

hello there again, its yours truly, mr.aries. you know as a guy i get all types of looks and reactions from people because of my bags. and i honestly could care less what they think. and i know i'm not the only one. they have been called murse, man bag, guy purse, and manny pack are some of the names. but why men who have bags are made fun of. to some people it is seen as feminine. but if you are secure with yourself does it really matter. well there are various types of bags for men. i've done some research and with some help from sites like askmen.com here is what i have. first their is the briefcase, and we pretty much know what the briefcase is all about. they are mainly for the working man and the most tolerable bag in mens fashion. i do not own a briefcase but if i would have one it would be more up to date, modern, or fashionable briefcase. next there is the messenger bag, now do i really need to explain this. often seen in canvas with one strap draped across the chest. but nowadays you can see it in leather for that more sophisticated look. everyone from students to actual messengers can be seen out and about sporting their bags with style. i do have a messenger bag and if you know me you guess right its from my favorite brand american eagle. then there is the holdall. and for those who do not know what that is, it is sometime called a weekender bag. i could be stretching by saying its a cross between a tote and a duffel bag. but i hope you get my drift. this is one of my favorite style of bag. its commonly seen in leather but other choices are available. i have a few of these bags and they are great, they can hold a lot of things in it, they are very stylist and just amazing. need i say more. after that we have the camera bag. its a longer rectangular bag and its a stylist way for a man to carry more than just your camera. most commonly seen on tourist and intended to be strapped across the shoulders. this bag is very stylish. it also adds some masculinity to your outfit for those who are worried about wearing a bag hanging from your shoulder.  following that is the tote. similar to a briefcase but clearly not. generally business attire is the look of the bag. a longer handle for a more modern look. its a little more laid back than the briefcase is if you are going for that laid back look. last but not least the news boy bag. often mistaken for a messenger bag, this bag is less formal and more casual. if you are that student who is in the go then this bag is for you. this bag is a little more manly than a knapsack. i know i know, there are more than six types of bags  but we will be here all day. whatever you like there is a bag for you or a bag for your man who needs just a little bit more style(ladies). to each its own. i actually own the bag in this post. ttyl mr.aries

know your body type


hello again. its yours truly, mr.aries. todays topic it for everyone and if you think its not for you then you know someone it pertains to. people, people, people, know your body type. why would you wear something that does not go with your body. it happens all the time, when we go shopping we have this image in our mind of how an outfit will look on our bodies or how we want it to look. im not perfect because i've done it myself. im not the biggest person or the smallest. i fall somewhere in the middle and i am aware of this. but enough about me. and my body. now i know its summertime and we all want to show some skin but you can still do it and not look like you dress yourself in the dark. if you are going for a specific look you need to commit. but you should know that every look has it limitations. i say this because there are too many people wearing too tight shirts or too big pants. there is fat bulging everywhere or you just look a hot mess. and no one whats that. am i right or am i right. when you go shopping and a sales associate ask you if you need help, say yes and take there help. they are there to help you look your best. they know of all the merchandise in their particular department and they are train employees nonetheless. they can tell you want will FIT right or what colors look good, help you pick he right size for your body. and give you options to what you are looking for.  i do not care what anyone says they are always options when you are shopping. if your body is large, then wear a large. why are you trying to squeeze into a smedium, know that you are going to give the clothes stretch marks.  also be mindful of the brands that you purchase. because not all designers design their clothes with every body type in mind. there are brands out there that cater just to the skinny people and vice versa. if you know someone who is going through this please tell them to read this. so until we speak again, mr. aries out. ttyl.
