The Beautiful Game

If I had a subscription to Vanity Fair magazine, I’d be curled up in bed reading the  latest World Cup issue. Here’s why:

All I can say is, mmm. Being a professional footballer does your body much good and brings new meaning to The Beautiful Game.

However, just to keep in line with the theme of this site, what do you guys think of the flag underwear? Yay or nay?

Now excuse me while I feast my eyes.

Stylo-Milo Sunday!!!!

Yes, Stylo-Milo Sunday is here once again! And this week’s stylo-milo is

Matthew Chen

Seen in most often: A hoodie and jeans or bermudas. Anything with a nice graphic on it really. I’m into graphic/illustrated designs.

Formal wear: Mostly I match a waist coat with pants. I like to mix different textures and prints, say pinstriped waist coat with tweed caps.

Favourite piece of clothing: I love my Hoodies, I have 7 hoodies in my collection at the moment, they’re so nice and comfy. That, and my JC PE t-shirt, WOOHOO!!

Individual style: Erm…. I really don’t know! Probably mixing and matching different patterns and prints.

Style tip: Always walk out of the house feeling confident, if you don’t feel good in what you wear that day, go back and change!

Monster ONE-UP!

Polkadot Monsters welcomes a new writer! Fratperry!!! *throws confetti*

Flower Power

Ditch the runway baby. From drab to fab, FratPerry puts the original style back in your sartorial consciousness.

You’ve seen it on Carrie Bradshaw in Sex And The City The Movie. And you’ve also seen Justin wearing all varieties of it on the Colin and Justin’s Home Heist show. Yes – the sweet-smelling efflorescence is the must-have accessory in your wardrobe to go with your top. Here’s the good news for the gents – it’s an incredibly versatile piece of adornment that can go with your jacket, vest or even your polo tee.

You’ve seen almost every bridegroom adorn his jacket with an understated rose on his wedding day. But that is SO 1960s baby. So heterosexual men, there is no excuse now to think that flowers are off-limits for you. Rid that male chauvinism and start embracing a softer touch – that will surely make you a favourite amongst the ladies (think: Sensitive New Age Guy reincarnated). Put on that Hibiscus, Lily, Carnation or even Chrysanthemum – whatever gets you in the mood.

And for the homosexual men out there, it is time to drop that white loafers/ belt look and set an adventurous example to your straight counterparts of just what you are capable of.  If Justin Ryan is proudly parading his posies, there is no reason for you to not already be adorning it. If you like it loud, wear a larger flower or better yet, arrange it with a fern. Be bold. Variety is the spice of life – so if you are tired of that one or two flowers, cluster florets of threes – whoever said three’s a crowd?

It’s really not too difficult to choose a flower that suits you. Think of the flower as an additional accessory to your outfit – so if you are wearing a pink-striped tie with a vest, a fitting match would be an Oriental Lily. So go ahead, have fun and experiment. The rules of colour selection apply as would you would select a fabric – for fair-skinned Asians, opt for warmer hues and the swarthy tanned guys, opt for cooler hues.

If subtlety is what you like best, you don’t necessarily have to always get the flower petals to match your top. The black seeds in many blooming flowers serve as the ultimate master of subtlety that goes with that black t-shirt layered over with your jacket.

So from Oxford Street to Orchard Road, go on and strut the stuff of flowers and let them do the talking today. Here’s a video of Colin and Justin – Showstopping!

Classic Men: Robert Downey Jr

Oh yeah, was fishing around for yummy male getups and chanced upon one of my favourite men in style: none other than the Iron Man himself,

Robert Downey Jr.

Whether dressed to the nines in a classic power suit, or decked out in t-shirt and slacks (refers to appearance in Elton John’s MTV below), he still manages to look hair-pullingly delectable.

His style is timeless and effortless. Take notes guys! And ladies, keep calm.

And I chanced upon this while researching Downey. Enjoy!
