Future man, please wear...

"Fashion fades but style is eternal." - Yves Saint Laurent

In my honest opinion, a man that knows how to put a decent outfit together is a force to be reckoned with. 
Since doing a bit of traveling outside of my 'surf wear only' hometown, Durban, I have come across many a bloke that has impressed me with their impeccable clothing co-ordination. 
To tell you the truth, some days I prefer men's fashion to women's. Tweed blazers, leather combat boots, suspenders, flannel, denim shirts, elbow patches, I'll take a double order of them all.
On the flip side however, I think there's a fine line that separates 'well groomed' from 'trying too hard,' and I applaud those lads that know how to live in the balance. 
So here's to appreciating men's trends and hoping my future man will be among the minority of stylish males. 

Free People Dot Com

Today I stumbled across an online clothing store called freepeople.com, and while I would by no means describe my dress sense as 'hippy' or 'free spirited,' I absolutely love the earth-child-meets-modern-day feel of the Free People clothing range. Their styling is gorgeous and alternative whilst still being trendy and happening. A brilliant miix of tastes and trends.

The pictures below are from their more whimsical, feminine vintage inspired ranges which I tend to prefer.

If you're a frequent online clothing shopper, head on down to Free People and see what you think of their interesting collections.
