GbyGuess

   In the next few posts I will be sharing what I love about some of my favorite stores. I'll give you advice about great looks and deals - each store has it's strengths.
    I will start with probably my favorite store, GbyGuess. They continually have amazing deals. I make it a point to check their site often, for the newest items and sales. Their blazers & jackets are second to none in my opinion. They are reasonably priced ($35-80, depending on sales) and have great detailing such as, zippers, buttons, layers, colors, patterns and the fit is perfect for my body type. I don't feel or look like a square (very important if you want to look fresh & current), there is some structure to it, which gives it a tailored feel.
      I usually wait for a sale (warning: the down fall is they may be out of your size. So if you can afford it and love it -->> grab it fast or miss out). When I love an item I don't mind paying full price because I get my money's worth. My GbyGuess jackets and blazers last me several years. I'm continually finding ways to refresh an older jacket - making it look new. 
      Another reason I shop at GbyGuess is for their ties, ties and more ties! Most of my skinny ties are from GbyGuess because of their great color selection and patterns. It allows me to be creative. The best part is  I usually pay $5-10 for each (occasional full price). I've noticed that they put 1-2 ties on sale once a month and then it goes back to full price ($20 or so).  So, if you love skinny ties, check out the site for time to time. I hope one day they will start selling bow ties, since that's the new thing (I will blog on that later).
      GbyGuess has a ton of great items. Including dress shirts, my next favorite item. Some have cool detials such as: buttons and zippers. I have my eye on the coral and mint green (colors of spring) shirts right now, I may have to splurge on them soon.
        Speaking of mint green, you may have noticed the mint green pants I have in several pics here and Instgram  (username: Newman03) which are from GbyGuess. Those pants are prob my favorite, I pair it with sweaters, scarfs, vests and jackets. When it comes to foot wear I match it with either dress shoes or funky grey sneakers from Aldo (blogging about Aldo later). You can dress them up or down. Color shows off your personality. Don't be intimidated by it.
       So what do you think? Will you be adding GbyGuess to your shopping list? Let me know, and share what you love about GbyGuess.

Newest Fashion Blogger

   Hello! I'm excited about this new blog! I love sharing insight and things I've learned when it comes to men's fashion. This blog is (like the title states) for real men on a real budget. We all look through GQ, Details and Esquire magazine and see stuff that we would love to buy (myself included), but lets be real, not everyone can afford that $1,000 jacket for $300 pair of loafers (at least not with out breaking the bank). I myself have an everyday office job with a mortgage, wife and 3 children...I mean dogs (a basset, two Shih Tzu's). You don't have to spend a lot of $$ to look great and feel good. I shop at stores like: Express, Guess, GbyGuess and Aldo to name a few. I enjoy being creative mixing patterns, layering, mixing colors, etc.  I look forward to sharing my creativity with you.
