Men's Fashion Revolution

There’s a style revolution taking place in America and it can’t be stopped. I’m talking about a men’s style revolution. More and more in the past couple of years we are seeing a trend in men leaning towards taking better care of themselves, including the way they look which is directly related to the way they dress. Men are thinking about grooming, fitness and personal style in a new way.
Men care about the way they look in a way they haven’t in decades. More attention is being paid to the fit of trousers, width of lapels, length of coats. In recent years we have seen how most designers are now creating various fits in shirts to accommodate different body types.
Trends in men’s clothing seem to be gearing towards a more sophisticated and body conscious look. Even in casual wear we can see a greater selection of fits again in an effort to accommodate the various body types.
Dressing well and looking your best has nothing to do with your physical condition. Though I always encourage a healthy lifestyle and a consistent work-out routine will definitely change your physique, you can look great at any weight.
It all starts with knowing your body. You need to know what your body really looks like. What are your best assets and which are your more challenging areas.
Know your size. For the most part men do not know what their proper size is. A great majority of men tend to think – and buy – one size large than they are which is never flattering.
Know your personal style. Spending money on the latest fashion trend does not equate personal style. Personal style is determined by who you are and how you put yourself together regardless of any existing trends. Personal style surpasses the limits of current trends.

I believe that film and television have a great deal of influence in what is happening in America today regarding the way men dress. It is no coincidence that with the success of the award winning television series Mad Men, the slim fit, 1960’s inspired suit came into fashion like quick lightning on a summer storm. Sales of vintage suits soared and most designers created lines of trim fitting suit. Even the traditional and always reliant Brooks Brothers has a trim suit line.
But again the real revolution - as I see it - is not about any latest trend, it goes further than that. I’m talking about the American man who is making a conscious decision to dress better and look his best. It is worth noting that this could very well be the beginning of a better state of being for the American man in general. How you dress is your visual appearance and the very first clue you give of yourself to other people. This appearance will immediately demand a specific response from others. 
When you are dressed well, you feel good, when you feel good, you go about you day in a totally different way and people will perceive you in a brighter light. That job interview, that board meeting, that lunch with a long lost friend, tonight's dinner party with your mate or even that moment at Starbucks in the morning when you're buying that first cup of coffee will all go better when you dress better.
I am excited and encouraged about this shift in the way men dress.
