On the interweb, there is a shed loads of stuff on mens fashion. But the thing is, most of this stuff seem to be about guys in suits.

Nice post, it was a good read. A quick question though: I am particularly interested in rebel style, where can I find pictures of guys displaying this identity?

No clue, try Google.

Wtf is rebel style, anyway? Sporting Confederate flags or something?

Guessing he means "rough around the edges" look, e.g. Russel Brand, Colin Ferrel, etc.

I think Russell Brand, if anything goes around someone into indie, rock music etc.
I came across this article:

http://www.girlschase.com/content/9-male-identities-and-how-they-affect-you-women

Based on that, 'Rebel' was something I identified with and was trying to find clothing to go with that. Doing a search, everything seem to revolve around James Dean.

^ In the picture above, the dude in the black t-shirt has poor style. The dude next to him (looks like the leader) is bit on the overweight side. The dude next to him with the bandana, you can't see him too well and does look a bit fat.

The dude furthest to the right, looks like he has got it everything right. He is lean and has clothing which fits him perfectly.

I bet very few dudes would be willing to go out dressed like this.because they prefer to be conservative.

Much of what I see in these mens fashion blogs is guys in preppy suits, I haven't seen too many where the emphasis is all on casual wear.

Those are the guys from Duck Dynasty... When you have a tv show, their money, and their level of influence, you can wear whatever the hell you want.

If you go out to Middle of Fuck Nowhere, USA you'll see guys dressed like this even when it's not hunting season.

The bottom of your pants should touch the top of your shoes. The length of your pants should have a half-no break at your shoes, i.e there should not be a puddle of material pooling around your shoes. A shorter hem allows your pants to drape cleanly, which creates a more streamlined silhouette, while also giving the appearance of elongated height. As such tailor your pants to hit the top of your shoes rather than tailoring them to the heel.

This is something I was not aware of, I have been going around with a pool of material around shoes for years and years. Something to sort out. Thanks.

If you're short and you have really small feet then wearing a shoe with with really thin soles isn't the best option IMO. Boat shoes tend to have a small overall profile as well so it made this guy feet look really small and I never noticed that about a guy before. On the flipside I have a friend who is 6'2", swimmer build and boat shoes look great on him. With women i'd say the only ones who shouldn't wear boat shoes are fat girls.

In summary i'd say don't wear boat shoes if you have any of the following attributes;

-Short
-Really small feet
-Fat

Sole thickness varies by brand. My pair of Sperry Topsiders don't have thick soles, but I wouldn't call them thin either. Out of the 7 pairs of shoes I own, my desert boots, leather ankle boots and low top Converse I wear when lifting that all have thinner soles.

^By most people's standards this is not thin. Maybe if you're a manlet and every extra centimeter counts, but same applies to tons of different shoes. You're probably better off getting heel lifts then worrying about how thick the soles are in that situation.

For those annoying collars both on dress shirts that pop out, and polo shirts that get floppy and curled, I found a good product. Its like a collar stay except better as you can use it on polos and dress shirts without the little pocket for collar stays. Though this brand is a bit pricey, hopefully you can get the same product online somewhere a bit cheaper.

I think Schott's peacoats look fairly bad-ass, just like their A2 jackets. I hope to buy one someday. They appear to be fairly heavyweight. My current peacoat comes from J.Crew and it works ok, but I don't think it looks as good as the Schott.
