GQ March 2012 - Trey Songz Gets It On

Being preppy and  dressing like a grown-up is cool and all but at times you still need to keep that manly look. This issue of GQ is great and I do support these looks lakini keep it at a small dosage. There's a difference between being preppy for an event and being preppy just at a regular bar. Depending on your setting you wear accordingly. It also keeps females intrigued when you switch it up. All in ALL, being a man is about doing what you like. 

I would hate for us to start copying each other, these are just pointers.

Women follow trends as a man you do what you want,  simple.  

R&B is changing everyday, but Trey Songz is a throwback. Get to know Mr. Steal Yo Girl

Please Repeat: The sports jacket is the most important item in your wardrobe this season. You will be wearing it all day, every day, no kidding. (As you can see in these pages, there are countless ways to style it, whether you've got business to handle or you're simply hanging out.) Just remember: It's called a sports jacket for a reason. You can dress it up, but it's meant to be played in. Hard. That means throwing it on the backseat of your car or cramming it in your backpack once you've peeled it off. It doesn't need an occasion, and it doesn't need to match anything. It just needs to be worn...and worn...and worn, until it fits you like a second skin.

Navy blazers have been hugging the shoulders of dapper gentlemen for nearly two centuries. More recently, they've been adopted by businessmen and rappers alike. They're that versatile. But do you know what your blazer says about you? Turns out the message is in the buttons. Choose the ones that suit your temperament.

A Fresh Approach To Prep
Brass buttons instantly identify a blazer as preppy. Play that up with loafers, a V-neck sweater, and a plaid tie.

The Modern Minimalist
If you're looking for understated elegance, pare things down with black, silver, or mirrored buttons. You can take this jacket from the office to dinner and then to the after-hours bar without changing a thing.

There's a new trend toward prewashed sports jackets. Think of them as you would distressed jeans—a little washing is a head start on breaking them in; a lot of washing looks ridiculous.

Granddad didn't have it all wrong with his plaid jacket. To modernize it, update the fit so it tapers at the sides and hits just below your pants pockets.

· Padded shoulders make this jacket a little more formal. That's why Trey is pairing it with a dressier leather belt and loafers.
