Guy Friday: Cufflinks!

We’ve talked about ties and belt buckles; what next?

For those of you who may not be aware, our Holy Father Pope Benedict declared the year of June 2009 – June 2010 The Year of the Priest. Throughout this year, we remember to support our priests in prayer and action. I thought it would be appropriate to feature one of the most stylish priests I know in honor of the Year of the Priest.

Meet Fr. Mark White, aka The Preacher:

Fr. Mark is a priest with style, with panache, with *BAM*. This “something” certainly has to do with his vocation as humble preacher, his smile,and his personality, but it also in a big way has to do with his cufflinks.

Fr. Mark is the King of Cufflinks and has the best cufflink collection I have seen. During the snowstorm of the century, the Preacher promised to wear the above sailboat cufflinks until the thermometer in Washington, DC hits 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

So take a tip from Fr. Mark, guys, and add that *BAM* to your suit-and-tie (or in this case, cassock) with an awesome pair of cufflinks.

Guy Friday: Belt Buckles!

Who is the tv king of belt-buckle fashion? Agent Seeley Booth of Bones, naturally!

His psychiatrist (played by Stephen Fry) says that Booth’s penchant for awesome belt buckles is a manifestation of his rebellious nature, but I really don’t care. Let’s face it: it is hard to “change up” the regular suit-and-tie. This, however, is what makes male fashion a fun challenge. For the gents, it is all about the POP. The ensemble can be uniform, but with one little surprise that says the wearer is amazing.

A word of warning before you try this out, though. Wear these snazzy belt buckles with a subdued suit, not with a t shirt and jeans.

So without further ado, some very nice belt buckles from around the internet…

(This last is definitely my personal favorite!)

Guy Fashion

My bro Kenny has great guy-fashion sense.

He was really rocking the pink tie and stripes-in-different-directions (i.e. the suit and tie). Nice.

One of these days – hopefully soon – he is going to write a post about vests and how versatile they are. I am looking forward to it!

Gentlemen, take note.

Scott is once again right on the ball…girls like a man (and a wardrobe ON a man) that can age gracefully. Please don’t be too trendy.

Anyway, read Scott’s lovely post, the nicest thing I’ve seen today.
