A friend of mine who grew up in Italy once explained to me that while little boys in America go to the park with their dads on the weekends, little boys in Italy go to the tailor with their fathers. So from a very early age it’s normal for Italian men to pay attention to clothes. - MICHAEL BASTIAN

it's true man. when i was in italy i saw little dapper boys in tailored suits and girls in oscar de la renta dresses

the average european is much better dressed than the average american

america's pretty lousy :(
makes it harder for me to find fashion to take pics of on the streets

Oh my GOD that's cute. I want to take Izzy to the tailor now. :(

haha you should!^

Reading these fashion books for men and just going to these different fashion websites has given me a new lease on my fashion life. I am learning what a real man should be dressed like and how he should carry himself.

fasho man it's all gucci but don't let it get into your head too much, we didn't get where we are now solely because of the tailoring of our clothes

[DoubleJ]

Of course we didn't but the tailoring also does give us a certain sense of satisfaction as well.

yeah man that's true but still it's all in the head! you don't need it if you already know you're fly

Me I got no jewels on my neck, why – I don’t need 'em I already got your respect

[superstitious]

A mature woman will notice what a man wears but respect how the man is.

[DoubleJ]

Well again some of us have to rediscover our fresh too.

[Simba]

haha yeah i'm kind of just rambling too, fashion is fun

[DoubleJ]

Rebs I like your quote though.

Is it true Rebs that a woman knows a man's scent?

[superstitious]

You know, there are some scents that make some men identifiable. That happens after a period of time when familiarity has been established. It's not so much a particular type of cologne though. It's a combination of smells - what cologne they wear, their aftershave, their soap and hair product. All those things combine to make a general "scent". At least on a day to day basis.

Sometimes it works to negative effect though. There's a guy at work who reeks of Eternity. Now I have no beef with Eternity but no one should ever bathe in that stuff. So now there's a negative association with that scent.

Body chemistry is immensely important as well. Some scents just don't smell right on certain individuals but will absolutely turn you on when others wear it.

[DoubleJ]

Yeah. I am not going to lie...I let the gay guy at perfumania pick out my colognes. Oddly enough what the gays like, the women seem to like too! That burberry has been doing wonders for me at work and when I go out at night I wear chrome. Of course when I am on the go and I have my bag, cubaparis does the trick.

[brooklyneast05]

man i was just gonna say that my girlfriend always tells me that i smell like aftershave and coffee mixed, and i always think that sounds like a nasty combination. but i guess it's familiar or whatever.

[DoubleJ]

lmao! Now the clients at my job love to sit at my window forever lol. As if they weren't doing it already! Expensive cologne over cheap cologne!

[superstitious]

Oddly though, those combined scents can make up this comforting, overall smell. Like the smell of home, if "home" were a living, breathing person.

[DoubleJ]

You know what's funny though...girls have always like smelling me for a long time. The girls at work like to smell me when I get to work because they say that my dress shirts smell like downy. Of course adding the burberry sent just adds to the sexiness!
