Fox 5 News...Dave Hall fashion turn gets nod! Stylish man-about-town!

Recently, I took a poke at Dave Hall, and a couple of fashion choices that he made on-camera at Fox 5 News which were a definite "no no".

But, when a high-profile television personality gets it "right", I am also inclined to give an approving nod, too.

For example, today when I switched on the morning news, I was quite delighted to catch sight of Mr. Hall in a truly dapper "look" that suited the anchorman to a "t".

Hall was sporting an elegant black suit, teamed with a plain fancy-dress shirt, and a patterned tie that echoed the colors throughout the chic ensemble.

The mixing-and-matching would have been tough for even an expert stylist to pull off, but the charismatic newsie threw together a tasteful outfit with deft aplomb.

A rule of thumb?

If a gent is inclined to don a dress shirt with a stripe or check pattern, it is best to team it with a solid tie in complementing colors, on a dark (or light) silhouette (suit, sport coat & slacks, etc.) that match up admirably.

A savvy dude may get away with a patterned-tie on a patterned shirt - but, even for the most adventurous stud - it tends to be a tricky proposition.

Unless, the stylish man-about-town is going for controlled clashing (deliberate competing patterns), which is rarely accomplished successfully without the expert advice of a top fashion designer or stylist.

A parting tip?

A conservative approach is usually the best road to travel down in business (in the Corporate environment, for instance), for on-camera newsmen, and politicians (the right-colored tie will instill confidence in the voters and viewers at home around the country).

Oh, by the way, try to refrain from smelling like soap (old spice, too) in addition to avoiding gaudy over-the-top jewellery.

A simple understated watch or wedding band is best.

Steve Cojocaru...looking alot like Chastity Bono! TMZ antics...

One of the tabloid shows caught fashion designer Steve Cojocaru in an erotic mood on a busy Manhattan Street yesterday.

OMG!

Is it my warped mind, or is the style aficiando starting to look alot like the former Chastity Bono?

Cojocaru was silent (and unaware he was being oberserved) as he gazed on a handful of stunning IMAN  images in a display window at a retail outlet.

When the paparazzi drew closer they were taken aback.

The dizzy aloof designer was staring at the graphic image of a very large penis.

At this point, the slightly-out-of-it rag-pusher turned to camera and gushed his approval.

"It's perfect."

At this point, the naughty kids from TMZ (who else?) broke into a chorus of song.

"How much is that penis in the window!"

They're all a little wacky, if you ask me.

Men's Fashion...male animal struts plumage with confidence! 2010 a turning point...

On the runway these past few weeks when Menswear (2010) was unveiled on these shores, in Milan - and even in Copenhagen - it was quite evident that the male animal will be breaking free from the fashion shackles that once held him back.

Indeed, bold ballsy dudes will be strutting their plumage - and showing off a manly portion of  buffed flesh - signalling a turning point in the male style psyche.

In fact, a well-muscled torso appears to be a fashion accessory - not to be coyly played beek-a-boo with - but stridently shown-off with unique individualized ensembles that underscore his style and panache.

Thus, a confident male may go shirtless, when sporting an eye-catching pair of slacks in brilliant hues.

Some studs will go for the muscle shirt and jeans (or tailored dress slacks) with a distinctive macho appeal.

The "look" (for the most part) will feature pristine whites - and a myriad of muted shades - or delicious offerings with monochromatic themes.

For the adventurous guy, knee-length shorts may be paired with elegant dress shirts, draped vests, and long outer-shirts (or bomber-style jackets, classic windbreakers in  vivid colors, and the like).

The man-about-town will strike a pose in chic tailor-made suits, dress shirts (that pop out in lime green, pink, or canary yellow), and understated plain or fanciful ties in luxurious silks, for instance.

Heh, you've come a long way baby!
