mens underwear


 hello my fashion babies, it me again, mr.aries. and todays topic mens underwear. well where should we start. idk if i have any male readers, but if you are out there you should reads this. and ladies this is for you too. you will understand by the end of this blog. well i guess underwear started with the loin cloth, but i don't know if that can really be considered underwear because there is now support. i read somewhere the first sign of some support was seen in a pharaoh's tomb. he was buried with 145 so he have extra in the after life. it was like the loincloth. two isosceles triangles tied at the sides. but the difference is that the fabric from the back came forward and tucked over the in the front. and thus a template for underwear was created. later came variations of the brief in japan, under shorts, union suits with the flap in the back. some even had flaps in the from. soon after that the union suit was turned into two with variations in the way the fly in the front was fasten. then as years went on different fabrics and patterns were introduced and there were a lot of diversity in choices of boxers and briefs. but now there are not only different fabrics and patterns but there are different types of underwear. we have boxer shorts, briefs, boxer briefs, trunks, sports briefs, thongs, and jockstraps. i know there are others but lets just deal with these. ok well we all are familiar with boxers right. well if not here it is.  they look like regular shorts with a fly front sometimes fasten and sometimes not with an elastic waist. briefs have more support. and are better to wear if you are playing sports, training or doing a lot of sitting. they kind of shape the butt, unlike boxers. if you are doing a lot of sitting boxers are not for you. they bunch up on the leg and can give you a wedgie. and no on wants that. the most efficient and popular are the boxer briefs. they are long on the leg like boxers but give you that support that you need for sports or anything active. well trunks are like boxer briefs but they are little shorter on the leg. and just a little more support. next we have sports briefs, which are cut higher on the legs for more movement. then there is the thong. now we all now what a thong is. but for those who just  crawled from under a rock a thong has very little coverage. it basically covers up the boys and thats pretty much it. you can figure out the rest. last but not least there is the jockstrap. for those who do not know what this is let me explain. its main purpose is to support. there is basically no coverage anywhere except the boys. there are straps that go from the waistband down the side of your butt and under to connect to the pouch. those are some of the basics in underwear. there are many brands with a variety of colors and fabrics to choose from. but to each its own. but most men go for cotton, is the optimum choice when it comes to taking good care of your boys. what your answer to the age old question boxers or briefs? whats your favorite. and now that i shared a little info about what we wear underneath, put it to good use. and ladies this is for you to. take good care of your man. and make sure he looks good undress as well as he looks fully clothes. and please no sagging. you can display your individualism with your underwear without sagging. but that is a whole other story soon to be posted. so until we speak again, ttyl.

fashion dilemmas

hello again, have you ever had a day where you could never figure out what to wear. i know i'm not the only one. idk what it is, but sometimes i can never find anything to wear. and its not like i don't have clothes to wear. maybe its that i have too many options that i cannot put an outfit together. i usually can put together an outfit while in bed or if its an outfit that i plan to wear in the near future. i try to pull ideas from the activities that i will be doing that day. then i think about how much exposure the outfit will get that day. sounds a bit crazy but why go through all the trouble of putting together a cute outfit if not that many people are going to see you looking good. anyways choosing the right outfit can be very difficult. but when all else fails i just do a simple jeans and a t-shirt combo. that outfit works every time. we all have our favorite pair of jeans that we enjoy wearing, then we just pair it up with any cute tee that we have. but then what to put on our feet. i told you it was difficult. i usually choose something that looks good with my jeans or something black just because it goes with almost anything. so what do you do to pick out an outfit. maybe put on a small fashion show for your friends. let me know, share your stories. maybe you can do something i do and vice versa. so until next time, ttyl.

spring fashion part 2


spring fashion is such a big topic i had to split it in two. well lets continue. so another staple in my outfit is a very cute bag. and anybody that knows me know that i have a serious bag collection and it is always increasing( i have 2 that i will soon purchase so stay tune but i digress). you can never go wrong with a cute bag. right now im sporting a very cute very sexy true religion bag, that i received with the purchase of the cologne. anyways i love bags. it always goo to have your bag to go with your outfit but not too matchy matchy. you get my drift right. if your bag matches your shoes thats a plus. now we cannot forget spring shoe fashion. for the men its pretty simple about how to choose what to put on our feet. so fellas this one is for the ladies(maybe the next one. now ladies its time to bring out the high heels, wedges, the peep toe, the sling backs, the platform heels, and everything of that nature. a woman's outfit is not complete without the right shoe. lets go over some dos and don'ts. wedges and tights a major no no. they are two different looks. or a cute spring dress and sexy kitten heels. hell no.i would usually say to each its own but not with that. ill. i would style together those leggings with a cute boyfriend shirts some sexy heels maybe a fierce clutch to match and a short a hair do or a really nice pony tail. and of course some cute accessories like bangles, definitely wear studs no question. and a nice necklace and do not forget the shades and the scarf unless its too hot then leave it home (did i mention that im a stylist). anyways, for the ladies that love shirts do it( with my help of course). im a real fan of pencil skirts. but any skirts if done right looks good. but you can never go wrong with a cute tee a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of sexy pumps, with the basic outfit staples that i mentioned earlier. but i do predict platform heels for the spring and even summer. they are so sexy. but they are not for everybody. there is so much to talk about for spring fashion that it cannot fit i one blog.i guess that all for now. so until next time, ttyl.

march 19th Spring fashion

Hello my fashion babies. Since we last spoke the fashion has been amazing. The out that I posted had to be put on hold until further notice because the pants were dirty. I did wear in on Thursday. The extra addition to the outfit was a cute scarf from H&M that I borrow. I should give it back, but it so cute that why I still have it. Well let’s see what’s I wore over the past few days. I wore my grey skinny jeans (I love those jeans). I wore shorts on Friday. Was it I or was it really hot. People were asking me why was I wearing shorts and that it was not hot enough for it. But when I went outside it was hotter than the devil’s toenails. I had the last laugh on that. I also did some yellow and blue just because it spring. Well now that winter is over its spring. Lets discuss spring fashion. Time to put the winter clothes in storage and bring out the likes short jackets, shorts, skirts, flower dresses, and everything of that nature. When you think of spring you think of birds chirping, warm weather and cookouts. I cannot wait. Well back to fashion. My predictions for spring fashion are definitely skinny jeans (I do not care what anybody says). I also predict black, because black is the new black. Maybe not big sunglasses (I’m a fan of big sunglasses), but moderately size sunglasses. Colorful scarves is another prediction for spring. But that goes against the black. But if there was not some originality then it would not be fashion. If you knew how to do it(or you can just have me style you) then you will be able to pull it off. Other than that lets discuss weather fashion. if anybody knows about looking good in any weather it is yours truly. Well a staple in my outfit is a scarf. A good scarf can make an outfit. So no matter what the weather, put scarf on. especially if it is windy out. When the windy is blowing and there is a moment when you are standing still, hit a fierce pose and let the windy do what is does best. You better work. LOL. I just remembered that another staple in my outfit are shades. i wear them in any weather. It does not matter wether its rain, sleet, or snow i make it work. In the rain i suggest a pair of dark jeans, but to each its own. if you can make it work, then do it. until we speak again. ttyl.

fashion

hello and happy thursday. today lets talk about fashion. well we can start with my outfit fir today. I'm wearing my brand new vans that i purchase from zappos.com. a pair of black skinny jeans from levi, with a black v-neck tee from urban outfitters. then on top of that I'm wear a purple and blue flannel shirt from my favorite store AE and my black puffed vest fro the north face. i really love fashion. people don't understand i really enjoy dressing up and looking good. i've been like for as long as i can remember. i tweeted a quote from ugly better that stood out to me because it was a really good definition of taste and style. and the quote is, "taste is having the courage of your own convictions". that quote is genius. i could not have said it better myself. and i always say to pull out a good outfit, you must have confidence in what you are wearing. it does not matter if you are wearing haute couture form channel or belenciaga if you have the ugliest look on your face or do no look confidence in what you are wearing, then you will look so unattractive. as i said before, people are always asking me where i brought my clothes than i tell them and they all excited and say that i must go with them the next time they go shopping. for people that do go shopping with me( mainly family and close friends) knows that i usually buy what i like. i do not care what others think, if i like it i will wear it. sometime is fashion you have to take risk. and i take a lot of risk. and thats probably why i always look so nice. but along with that i maintain my clothes and try to buy things with good quality. i mean lets be serious if you buy cheap stuff thats what its going to look like. CHEAP. then the clothes do not last long. but i believes it can o a little deeper than that. the clothes that you wear on top is just as important as the clothes you wear underneath. now I'm saying that you should go out and buy really expensive underwear( unless you can afford it. I'm saying you should look good undress as you do fully clothed. i wear AE, H&M, american apparel. i also do have some other pretty pricy underwear, but thats just me. now it you cannot afford those, then just buy something simple and affordable like hanes or fruit the loom. at least you have on a comfortable fabric(cotton). they have other fabrics, but they mainly use cotton. what i like to do is match my undergarments to what I'm wearing on top. i find it fun to do that, i believe its more fun to do that. right now I'm wearing blue and black underwear from H&M to match my shirt. and my bag game is serious. and if you know me i spend a lot of money on my bags. or at least a lot of money with the money that i make. some people do not understand it takes a lot to look this good. i work two jobs. and i earn every penny. so i like to buy nice things because i can afford it. BREAKING NEWS: amy whinehouse is launching her own fashion line through british house Fred Perry. i cannot wait. i hope she has a mens line. i think thats all i have to say about fashion, at least for today. so until next time. Auf Wiedersehen.
