Urban Purush: Boots

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,

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.

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

At Urban Purush, you must have definitely read before about why shoes matter? or what are the top 5 must have men's shoes but all that knowledge is of no use if its not put into action. Let's talk about the single most absolutely biggest sin that men commit pertaining to shoes!

And that sin is (drums roll please)

Sports Shoes in a non sports environment!

Question time - What's common between Steve Carell in Crazy Stupid Love and Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi?

Yes Sir! Those damn sports shoes!

Do not (in CAPS again - DO NOT) wear them on your jeans and formal trousers! How difficult is that to understand?

Ofcourse, there are exceptions to this rule. If you are in a sports environment or you need to walk alot or you are on a picnic or if you are Steve Jobs! But again if you are Steve Jobs you are probably not reading this.

Gentlemen, sports shoes, as their name suggests, are made for sports and not for your Friday casual or, worst, daily wear!

Rock a pair of sneakers or boots with Jeans and always (in CAPS again - ALWAYS) wear formal shoes with formal trousers.

Below are some of the shoes we can safely recommend,

Travelling can be anything you want it to be from tiresome to exciting to boring. At Urban Purush, we may not be able to give you tips on how to make flying better but we assure you to take care of your style!

Below are 4 quick tips to make sure you are at your stylish best while catching your flight,

1. Holidays start at destination - Too many people do not dress for the travel. The holidays should start at destination and not at the airport. You may be travelling to a beach town but does it make sense to be wearing shorts at the airport on a December night? Ofcourse not! The travelling itself could become a pain if you start feeling cold in the flight or worst - fall ill!

2. Security check compatible footwear - Security checks might sometimes be comprehensive requiring you to remove your shoes. Boots, loafers or any other shoes that don't require you lacing up could come in handy in this situation

3. Tuck in trouble - If you ever have to tuck in your shirt after the security check, PLEASE use the restroom. DO NOT do that publicly. The sight of a man doing that in public could be uncomfortable for many and not something others would appreciate watching

4. Its all in the layers - It is always a good idea to be layered up while travelling so that you are equipped in case you start feeling cold. Layering is both stylish and functional

Those were the 4 tips to add miles in style. What do you think?

Winter is Coming!

Wait no more and be equipped with the winter must haves in your wardrobe. Urban Purush takes a look at top 5 items every man must have to combat the cold,

1. Jacket - The most staple winter item is a jacket that keeps yourself warm. Go with a classic style and neutral or darker color as jackets tend to last longer than fashion. A biker jacket is a great option for an outdoorsy look

Explore this look

2. Boots - The jacket and jeans combination will have no better partner in crime than boots. Boots are your go to winter shoes. Boots keep you stylish even in those extreme winter days when others are losing their style edge battling with cold

3. Muffler - Talk about a winter item that combines style and function at the same time. The muffler or men's scarf (which is its summer cousin), although considered a style accessory at times, is one thing that is super functional when it comes to saving your ears and neck from the cold waves

4. Turtleneck - Turtlenecks have nothing to do with you being a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. Even if you do not appreciate the good work of ninja turtles, try sporting the long sleeve tees and sweaters with turtlenecks and you are bound to appreciate its anti-cold effects

5. Headgear - Beanie or just a flat cap, what better time to give your brain-house a dose of warmth with a cool headgear. It keeps you stylish, warm and is a savior in those bad hair days

Vacation time, be it the beaches of Goa or the Jim Corbett National Park of Uttarakhand, we men pack 2 pairs of shorts and are good to go! In this article we deal with men's shorts and how to rock them like a boss.

When to wear

No points for guessing that shorts are casual wear so keep them away from anything remotely formal. Apart from vacation, shorts are good for spring, summers, whenever the temperature is on the higher side or when you are just lounging around at friends' place. But shorts are typically a daytime clothing item so if you are going out in the evening you may want to avoid them unless you live in the Caribbean or Hawaii.

The right fit
Two things to consider are - Fit and Length.

Fit - Shorts that are too loose should be avoided. Too baggy shorts will add bulk to the upper half of legs giving out a chicken-leg impression.

Length - General consensus on length is just touching the knees. Anything below that gets in the zone of what is colloquially known as "3/4ths" while anything above is in the zone of boxers.

What to wear with
Shorts can be easily paired with tees and shirts. Polo tees are the easiest to pull off. Round off the look with sandals or sneakers. You may want to avoid dress shoes, boots or any other high top shoes that cover the ankles. Always go sockless with shorts.

Don't forget to share your tips for men's shorts.
