Urban Purush

"It is totally impossible to be well-dressed in cheap shoes!"

A famous quote in the field of men's style. Urban Purush is in 100% agreement with it.

Every man needs a good pair of formal shoes and if you have been only wearing sneakers and sports shoes all your life it gets a bit tricky. What kind of formal shoes would be best suited for your friend's wedding or that job interview?

You will obviously have a different choice for every different occasion, however what could be the topmost formal shoe out there? A whole cut or an oxford?

Although Antonio Centeno over at Real Men Real Style gives his final opinion and Urban Purush doesn't necessarily disagree with it but the difference between these two shoe types are very miniscule and you can get away with either of them. Below are the best picks before we head to the video,

How many breakthrough products do you know of? You know a product that comes in and gives birth to an entire industry. Deodorant was that breakthrough product for Indian men which gave birth to an entire line of products related to men's grooming, skincare and whatnot.

Now, obviously, a deodorant is totally a matter of personal preference and it will be very difficult to come up with a 'one size fits all'. But that being said, Urban Purush gives it the best shot possible listing our top 3 most favorites,

1. Old Spice Whitewater

2. FCUK Urban

3. Park Avenue Voyage

All of these are elegant. Not too overpowering. They aren't fruity, sporty, floral or sweet candy types like some others out there.

The inspiration for this post has been Beer Biceps who recently listed 10 budget friendly deos. The video is listed below but first here is where you can buy these Deos,

Some time ago, there was this article in The Economist magazine talking about how the porn industry has been the catalyst for changing the perceptions and preferences of body hair. Nobody likes Anil Kapoor or Akshay Kumar from the 90s anymore!

And since we are talking about body hair, since we are talking about grooming let's get down (quite literally) to the question that could seem very taboo - pubic hair! There it is, we said it!

What do women prefer when it comes to hair below the belt?

In his latest video, Jose Zuniga takes it to the road and asks girls what kind of hair do they prefer below the belt. Unsurprisingly, the majority answered trimmed. Below are some of our top trimmer picks,

You don't get to layer in summers. Right.
You don't get to wear boots in summers. Right.

Really?

Actually, you can layer even in summers on the caveat that you are using the right fabric. The same, believe it or not, applies to boots as well.

Suede leather is a perfect alternative to your old school leather for boots that can be worn throughout the summers. Gentleman's Gazette recently discussed the same. But before we get down to the video, here are out top picks for suede leather boots,

A very good question indeed! Has the 'athleisure' storm taken over the bullish run Jeans have had for decades? While the style gurus argue that athleisure could just be another trend that will be out in some time like those ugly-@$$ crocs the numbers tell a different story.

Recently covered in the Economist, Levi's topped annual revenues in 1990s to $7bn but came down to $4bn a decade ago in the late 2000s. Recently, however, the company has introduced new styles and have also revamped its supply chain while still not moving away from Denim and tarnishing its brand name in any way. Sales have been growing in parts of Europe and even the direct-to-consumer sales are on the rise in US.

Why did we cover only Levis and declared that the Denim continues to reign supreme? Because Levis is the original and a rise in business for Levis would mean a rise in business for other denim brands if they continue to stick to their roots.

We have covered both Jeans and Joggers in the past if you are interested to know more, do check those articles out. And before you leave, below are some of Urban Purush's favorite Levis recommendations,

This has got to be one of the top few debatable questions in the World of men's style.

The answer to this typically depends upon an organization's culture. If your organization does not have specific clothing items listed as Business Casuals, many would treat jeans and tees as business casuals. But there are organizations that have defined business casuals as a Polo must.

When it comes to barebone definitions,

- Business Casual means business attire that is dressed down. That can be attained by chucking the tie off your suit or pairing an odd jacket. Business casual is not where you dress up your casual wear it is where you dress down your business wear. Read the previous sentence again!

- Jeans has always been a casual wear item. Yes, dark wash well-fitted denim can be dressed up and pass on as business casual but by the very nature of the denim material, a pair of jeans is a casual wear item. Please repeat, a pair of jeans is a casual wear item! (And if you are trying to dress your jeans up, don't you dare consider skinny jeans)

So the conclusion is the fact that jeans is a casual clothing item. It can be dressed up to fit the business casual environment based on your organization's culture. But in case clothing items for Business Casual attire are not explicitly defined and you are not aware of the organization culture, a pair of jeans shouldn't be your first choice.

Below are some jeans that are best choice when it comes to Business Casual,

Alright gents, now that we have covered the history and the type of hoodies let us get into the real question. Let us focus on how you can sport one. And you don't necessarily have to sport one just like everyone else does in the same old boring way. Considering how hoodies are typically a winter item, try throwing in more layers which will pave the way for more stylish outfits,

1. Denim Jacket - There is no way that you haven't seen this look either in real life or on some screen. Denim jacket and hoodie is probably the first layering option you can think of when getting into the layering game with the hoodie.


Explore the look
2. Leather Jacket - Now leather jackets are supposed to fit you like your second skin but if your hoodie is sleek and if your jacket allows for some room, there is no better way to jazz up the entire ensemble than this layering option. Throw in some boots and jeans and god knows you look bad ass!

3. Joggers - Alright, enough of the winter options, if your hoodie isn't too bulky you can pull off a stylish athleisure look by pairing it with the right joggers and sports shoes.

4. The hoodie - Obviously you can wear the hoodie by itself over any other piece of clothing that you are already rocking, a pair of jeans, chinos or shorts and get going with your everyday look

As you might have guessed by now, hoodies can be quite versatile if you don't fall in the same old rut of wearing it like everyone else at your local mall!

Below are some hoodies for you - check more at Amazon

Continuing the Urban Purush's series on Hoodies, let's talk about the different types of hoodies available out there. We have gone over the history of hoodies already and you can check that article out first to get a hang of the hoodies!

For the rest of us, lets get into the thick of things with the different types of hoodies available out there. Make use of these hoodies based on the occasion,

1. Pull over hoodie: There is no zip in the front in the pull over hoodie. It is more common amongst the students and the shape is loose so it’s easy for you to pull it on

2. Zip up hoodie: With the front zip for extra swag and comfort. These can be more slim fitting and is thus a good choice if you don't have the extra midsection flab to hide

3. Half zip hoodie: These are least common but a good half way house between a pullover and a zip up. Has a zip from your neck to the middle of your torso, giving you more room to pull your hoodie on, and meaning it can be a little slimmer fitting

So those are three types of hoodies you can find in the market if you are up for buying one. Which one would you prefer?
