Fashion for Guys

jake%20gylenhaal%202.jpg Its not everyday that I go shopping with my 20-year-old brother. He simply dislikes it, prefering to go directly into Adidas or Nike rather than walk around the mall for hours. As for "fashion", this boy trudges off to his university classes in a soccer jersey, jeans, and sneakers. But its a few days before Valentine's, and I suspect there's a girl he wants to impress. What other rational reason could be behind the request for me to help him shop?

I helped him out the best I could but, truth to tell, I really don't know how to put together an outfit for guys. I know what looks good...I just can't do the piecing together myself. I even know the stores which sell stuff that I find adorable and dashing on men: Celio, Armani Exchange, and Paul Smith. All I could do then was to draw inspiration from GQ January. "Now, try to channel Jake Gyllenhaal," I instructed my brother. We'll see if he gets that date on Valentine's.
