    The Bowtie Is Back!

    Pauline Montupet on Jul 1, 2009 8:19 AM PDT
    Are bowties ready for a comeback? I sure hope so! No longer reserved for nerds at prom and Bill Nye the Science Guy, bowties have started popping up here and there. But are they prime for a big return or will it just be a flash-in-the-pan trend like the brief resurgence of men's short shorts? From hipster to hip-hop and all the way uptown to"Gossip Girl" territory, there's no denying that the trend is starting to build. Karl Lagerfeld has been spotted wearing a simple black silk bowtie for some time and Kanye West is rocking them in his sneak peak at his new clothing line Pastelle. Forgotten by fashion and relegated to dweeb territory for years, today's bowtie has a nostalgic kitschy feel that's fresh and new. Ready to jump on this trend? Check out the slideshow for some favorites. Not sure how to even tie a bowtie? Click "See Video" to watch Avvi66's YouTube video, "How to Tie a Bowtie" for a step-by-step how-to.

    Kick It Back, Boys, In The Season's Hottest Swimwear

    Beach season doesn't just give girls an excuse to indulge in the hottest swimwear picks; this season, men have got every reason to put some cash down on a closet-ful of summer swim shorts! Bold colors are best, and a print of some kind, be it plaid or flowery, is most flattering if found in design patterns that are a tad more intricate -- the big white hibiscus shapes on the plain-colored-background long board shorts were a hit back in the day, but this summer, that same suit has been brought to a new loudmouthed level. Sure, you may just be hot enough not to need to draw attention to your built bod, but make 'em look twice with the picks in my slideshow!

    Do Dad A Favor This Father's Day With Stress-Free Clothing Gifts

    Alex Gambardella on Jun 15, 2009 10:17 AM PDT
    We all know that generally speaking, men hate shopping. Although it would probably be a useful excuse to say that your addictive shopaholic nature comes from fierce bargain-hunting genes from both your parents, realistically your dad would probably rather be watching TV than trying on clothes in the dressing room. So while shopping-savvy gals like you or your mom might be insulted by seemingly obvious or "no-brainer" gifts like dress shirts or tube socks, you might be surprised to find out that when your dad says he needs practical gifts like clothes, he really means it. Forget that expensive newfangled GPS ('cause he'll never even read the directions to assemble it anyway) and think of all the time, boredom, and moaning and groaning you'll spare your dad by going out and doing his clothing shopping for him. By sticking to practical yet stylish gifts like a lightweight zip-up jacket, button-down striped shirts and sleek ties (after all, nothing says Father's Day like ties!), you'll be playing it safe in a good way by sticking to things you know Dad will actually wear and get good use out of. Check the slideshow for some easy-to-buy clothing picks that will keep your dad dressed to impress without him having to set foot in the hellish mall!

    Hot In The Hive: Lush's Daddyo Shampoo

    Even if your father isn't exactly the "metro" type, he's still gotta wash his hair, right? And unless he's been blessed with remarkably good time-fighting genes (or he's an ageless vampire, but that's even less likely), chances are your dad is rockin' a salt-and-pepper hued 'do by now, if not a head of full-blown gray hair. Help him make the most of his time-seasoned locks and unleash his inner "silver fox" with Lush's Daddyo Shampoo, a lemon-scented purple lather formulated specifically to restore strength, infuse shine, and eliminate brassy tones for dads with distinguished grays (and other fair hair shades). Even if he's given up all hope on making over his dull-colored coif, Dad will definitely be taken by the fresh lemony (and very manly!) scent.


    Price: $26.75 for a 16.9 oz. bottle
    Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add Lush's Daddyo Shampoo to the Hive.

    Channel Tomboy Agyness Deyn With Menswear Gone Girlie

    Ever get the urge to raid your boyfriend's closet? Well you're in good company. All around the world girls are doing what many bold women have been doing forever -- taking classic men's pieces and making them their own. Inspired by the likes of women such as Marlene Dietrich and Katherine Hepburn (who was rarely seen without her slacks), today's tomboy icons like Agyness Deyn, Samantha Ronson and model Freja Beha Erichsen are keeping the menswear trend alive among the traditionally "fairer" sex. Even Coco Chanel was a rule-breaking tomboy! What do you need to get the tomboy look? A great pair of black trousers a good way to start -- look for some that have pleats or for ones that are a little roomy but still narrow in the leg like the "Burnisi" Pant by Theory. Top off those pants with a great plain white T-shirt or an updated button-down like ones from Alexander Wang. If you get a little chilly, add an oversized boyfriend blazer that is everywhere this season. Take cue from tomboy Agyness Deyn, who is often spotted wearing a fedora or a bowler hat and suspenders to add some whimsy to your look. Add some quirky accessories like argyle socks or a bowtie and a cummerbund (it's a super versatile belt!) and you're good to go. Check out the slideshow for how to get the look!

    Kick Around In A Pair Of Loafers This Summer

    The fail-safe shoes known as the loafers haven't changed much over the past 10 years. They are simple, masculine and may be great for warmer weather, but these classic shoes are appropriate for year-round use. Loafers are one of the most effortless pieces of footwear a man can have in his wardrobe. I mean, all you have to do is slip them on and go. It can't get any easier than that. I am proud of my sole pair of Ferragamo loafers. In fact, they are one of my most coveted items in my closet. I keep them in a fireproof safe in there. They are uncomplicated, black and are beautifully constructed (what pair of Italian shoes aren't?). If Ferragamo isn't your cup of tea, go for the classicism of Gucci horse-bit loafers or the modernized Johnston & Murphy tassle loafer. But if you're one of those guys who want your feet to get attention, opt for the blue Cole Haan penny loafers or the zest of Ted Baker's Aglio loafers. Need something a little more flashy, yet subtle? Bottega Veneta has some basket woven kicks for you. Then there is the whole issue on whether to go sock-less when wearing loafers. There's no crime in showing some ankle, but if you're like me and have an irrational fear of going nude below the ankles, Banana Republic has the perfect remedy: no-show loafer socks. Here are some other loafer ideas to kick around.
