Studio 5 Beauty and Style Contributor Holly Stone has six style gifts to help him find his fashion groove.
1. 1MX Men’s Cotton Button Down Shirt + Tie ($40.00, Express)
Choose from 29 different colors! Great fit and perfect cut. These shirts are on sale for $29.70 at Express or at www.express.com. Bonus buy: Buy one tie, get one ½ off ($39.50). Online get $30 off purchase of $70 or more using code 4505
Style Rules to Keep in Mind:
• Tie stripes should always be bolder than shirt stripes.
• Tie pattern or print should be bolder than the shirt.
• Can mix patterned or printed ties with shirt as long as the tie contains the dominant shirt color in its print.
2. Vaseline Aloe Fresh Hydrating Body Lotion ($7.99, Drugstores)
Yes, his man hands need TLC! Vaseline Aloe Fresh Hydrating Body Lotion with Aloe & Cucumber Extracts Big Lots $6.99 or drugstore.com $7.99 (free shipping on any purchase promotion).
• Rated the most preferred hand lotion for men
• Not fruity or floral but rather clean, fresh scent
• Absorbs lightening quick but leaves behind velvety moisture
3. Brown and Black Calvin Klein Belts ($27.99, Costco)
Style Rules to Keep in Mind:
• Solid buckles are more professional. Silhouette buckles are more casual
• Larger buckles or buckles with design are more casual
• Belts should always match shoes
4. Royal Testament Jeans ($65 Big Rock)
Style Rules to Keep in Mind:
• Jeans length should go to ½” above heel
• Pockets with detail are flattering on most men
• Most men prefer stretch in their denim because their rise area is longer. Stretch gives more leeway to move freely
5. “The Perfect Shave” Kit
This kit is made up of:
-Neutrogena Men Razor Defense Face Scrub, 6.99
-Neutrogena Men Skin Clearing Shave Cream, $6.99
-Gillette Mach III Razor, $14.99 (voted “Best Razor’ by leading men’s fashion magazine)
-Neutrogena Men Triple Protect Face Lotion SPF 20 $7.99 Walgreens
Style Tips to Keep in Mind:
• Apply scrub in the shower. Hot water opens pores and relaxes skin. The scrub exfoliates dead skin and makes surface clear of debris. Won’t dull the razor as quickly
• Shaving with cream preserves skin’s moisture and doesn’t dry out complexion
• SPF always a must
6. Men’s Frost Free Vest ($25, Old Navy)
This style staple comes in 8 colors and is sized up to XXXL. It’s great for the man who doesn’t get cold, but can get chilled. It doesn’t add bulk in arm for greater mobility. This piece can add style to any pair of jeans or pants.
