Time for another monthly inspirational style article! Here are some styles and ideas you can creatively infuse into your current look:
Lose the plain skullcap this season and go for something more stylish like this thick cable knit beanie that David Beckham is wearing. I love how it’s a bit oversized and balanced with his thick hoodie. It adds just the right amount of flair to his casual outfit.
Speaking of Beckham, he often likes to wear boots with his casual outfits. These are the boots he wore when he signed his million dollar soccer deal. I checked them out and they’re by Frye - definitely a sweet pair of motorcycle style boots to get for this winter. [where to get them]
As I was looking for some Halloween costume ideas, I came across a picture of Ryan Reynolds who played Hannibal King in Blade:Trinity. Rumor said he did not only gain 20 pounds of muscles, but also reduced his body fat percentage from 11% to 3%. If this doesn’t inspire you to work out then I don’t know what will. Having a great body makes everything fit so much better.
We’ve all seen colorful sneakers out and about in the streets, but dress shoes? I think this entire outfit is badass. Definitely not something an older man should be wearing, but some awesome inspiration for the younger guys out there. I love the personality that the belt shows and the gloves and sunglasses give him the edge of a hitman.
Men should not be afraid to wear fur, but at the same time they should not overdo it. Less is more - a small amount of fur will attract attention and exude masculine confidence. A lot of their time designers will look to nature for inspiration. The piece above reminds me of a lion’s mane.
If you’ve read my last article, you already know that a scarf is the easiest way to spruce up your entire outfit. Instead of just having your scarf hang down, try tying your scarf around your neck like this for a more rakish look. [scarves at Urban Outfitters]
I see a lot of guys at parties wearing dress shirts, but rarely do I see them wearing color. Wearing color is such a great way to stand out of the bland crowd and display that you’re more confident about yourself. If you’re not comfortable about going with a bolder, solid colored shirt, wear something more subtle like this red striped shirt above.
Something I like to do when I go out to party is to ditch the tie, and instead, dress up a blazer with some fancy cuff links. It keeps that cool balance between a relaxed look and that surprising little flair of tasteful style.

Hi Jae,
Fantastic update that left me with plenty of inspiration. I found a leather jacket sporting a fur collar today at a thrift store. I was a bit unsure of how to wear it, but now I can wear it with complete confidence. Thanks! Now to work on that halloween costume… muahah…

This is a great clip that shows the training that Ryan and Jessica (and others) went though for Blade. ~Enjoy
That scarf with the white hair looks amazing.
I love these entries - I aspire to look as good as any of these!
Beckham is a stylish mofo. His casual look is better than most people when they’re dressed up.
Totally agree with you on the cuff links. Can’t even count how often I get complimented at work.
Ryan Reynolds is absolutely ripped in Blade Trinity. (Jessica Biel looks amazing as well). I highly doubt his body fat was so low, but it’s not impossible. I have a friend who is ridiculously low body fat in the 4-5% range he all he eats is flavorless grilled chicken with salad.
I love the outfit of the model wearing blue dress shoes, its something that I can identify myself with. Has anybody got any more pictures of similar style? I’d like to know more details about that outfit.
Great post, it inspired me lol
Thanks.
The neon blue sneakers in that runway photo is out of control! Where can I find something like that?
the vest in the second to last picture is GOLD!
love it - your posts are always on point Jae!
Urban Outfitters is amazing - just went there the other day and they have the best styles for extremely reasonable prices. Just bought a bunch of scarves there the other day.
I love the colored dress shoes! And I love that outfit! That’s awesome. Where can I buy such shoes?
Great article Jae - these are amazing - especially the way that Beckham pulls off the beanie. I have a bunch that fit pretty snug, but have never seen one worn loose like that.
hands-down my favorite articles on this site. I wish you did these more often - I learn so much from these and actually get inspired to add them to my look the next day!
Jae,
This website has literally revolutionized the way that I dress. The last monthly style article was responsible for a few of my new outfits that I still get stunners on when I wear themmm.. THANKS SO MUCH!
I’m so stealing some of these looks! : )
I don’t think that level of fitness is sustainable without unrealistic training and diet. Gerard Butler went through something similar for 300. They both lost a lot of muscle after their movie.
I usually hate cargo pants, but the guy in the sweater really makes it work with that duffle bag. Know of any good sites where I can get a duffle bag like that - (that doesn’t cost $1000)
There’s no way that Reynolds is at 3% BF. That’s not even possible - your internal organs would shut down. He’s probably between 6-9%.
I’d love to see that great articles more often. The outfits you posted are very inspirational.
how do you get those killer arms?
I looked everywhere on the internet but I just couldn’t find such dress shoes. Please, if anybody knows where it’s possible to buy such shoes, let me know!
Yea that’s true, there is no way he is 3% body fat, even those huge body builders you see at shows, their around like 4-5% body fat and that’s their show body fat ratio so you can imagine what their like when they get something into their system.
Around 6-9% sounds about right. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was around 10% either.
O my god. I have to get those blue dress shoes, it’s almost as if the designer read my mind. I did a little search but I can’t seem to find any site selling them. How about you guys?
Same with me Bram, I’m desperately looking for them
I really like your blog but I’m from a tropical country, Singapore to be exact.
And obviouslt scarves and all don’t really fit in here. I’ve seen girls do that, but it’s kinda overkill in such a climate.
What do you suggest? I think even head wear can be really hot too since we sweat so much.
Please provide some info on where the pictures are from when you can. I too want the blue shoes!
