Sexy Men’s American Flag Underwear.

Price: 10.99 These sexy American flag underwear for men are the perfect pair to wear to the beach, to tea dances and to pool parties this summer.  Not only do they scream America, but they are also seriously fashionable.  I personally love the look of these Mens Sexy American Flag Boxer Briefs and I know that you will too.

I can’t believe that Summer is actually here. Our annual Gay Rehoboth Beach vacations start in just a couple of weeks and we are already buying our outfits to show off there. This year I am sticking to mostly Lacoste clothes. We sort of bonded over the last Winter. Anyways, one thing that every gay guy focuses on with going to Gay Beaches like Rehoboth, Fire Island, PTown, etc… is their underwear and bathing suits. This year people will be going with modern twists on flags and patterns, and I found a pair of really sexy Men’s American Flag Underwear that is absolutely perfect for the three beach weekends this year.

This sexy American Flag Underwear for Men is not only seriously affordable, but the cut is amazing. I love how it is sort of cut like briefs, but they are actually more like boy shorts and boxer briefs combined. Technically they are boxer briefs, but the patter and cut of them make them look absolutely amazing. These Mens sexy American Flag Underwear are absolutely perfect for wearing on the beach, to tea dances, pool parties or even just on the 4th of July when you are going out. The three beach weekends are all about celebrating the USA so why not wear these Sexy Men’s American Flag Underwear to help celebrate even more. There are hundreds of other styles and designs that you can find, but the one at the top of this post is my absolute favorite and they are also dirt cheap. Because the cut and style look designer, nobody will even notice that they aren’t actually a label. You cannot go wrong with them if you are looking for Patriotic and sexy American Flag Underwear for Men. I absolutely love the design, cut and color and think that you will too. If you need a larger selection than the store above, click any of the banners below and you’ll be taken to a few of my other favorite underwear shops where you can find other styles of Mens American Flag Underwear.

Men’s Fall Fashion, Men’s Fall Fashion Sale

The Top Fall Fashion Trends for Men.

I just have to say that I am going fall fashion crazy with Men’s Fashions.  Not only do I love what has come out for fall and how the lumberjack plaid look has dissapeared, but the color palats of mens fashions for fall are absolutely insane,,,,or as Rachel Zoe would say Banana’s.  Not only are darker colors and denim colors (not denim fabric) back in big time, but you also have metallics and metallic fabrics coming back in full force.  It is almost like emo meets fashionable with a main stream style.  Buckels and Studs and Straps are in for fall fashion and mens fashion this fall and you also have jackets, greens and some olive toned browns, greys and blues.  So what to wear and where can you find it at all price ranges.

I looked through he catalogs at Express and at Nordstroms, I checked out Sax 5th Avenue and I also looked at TJ Maxx and the one thing in common is the same looks and feels and colors.  The differences between them, besides the prices obviously, is the fabrics and the intricacy of the styles and stitches.  Express shocked me with a couple of their designs from a distance and in their catalog but unfortunately in person they were the same fabrics but just didn’t look or feel like the high end designers that they resembled.  The clothing there was absolutely on key with fall fashion for men and extremely affordable.  Instead of pulling clothes from a million sources for this post, I decided to go to an old favorite that everyone in Washington DC or Chicago Illinois knows and loves.

Universal Gear is a boutique clothing store for men.  Oddly enough, even though they hire a gorgeous staff and get some extremely good looking customers, I love shopping there because no matter what you look like or how you are dressed they treat you equally at Universal Gear.  The other thing that I love about Universal Gear is that they only carry Men’s Clothing and they always carry the most recent and fashion forward trends which means that you don’t have to sift or sort through hundreds of racks of women’s clothing just to find a small section of Men’s Clothes.  I love that Universal Gear carries Mens Fall Fashions and is not only reasonable in price but also fashion forward and because of their website UniversalGear.com, you can shop at their store even when you don’t live in a city with a retail location.  I fell in love with Universal Gear when I first moved to DC and was excited to find one when I moved to Chicago and thanks to UniversalGear.com everyone else who loves them can continue to shop for their fabulous lines of clothes and selections.  So here are my top Men’s Fall Fashion picks for the Fall season from Universal Gear.

andrew christian deep scoop neck tshirt

andrew christian deep scoop neck tshirt

The Andrew Christian Scoop Neck Tshirt for Men.  This fabulous deep scooped neck grey tshirt for men is not only a universal design that you can see similar versions of everywhere from Nordstroms to Macy’s and Express, but is also a classic look coming in from summer but with a fall design look and feel.  I can easily picture this under a bomber styled jacket or under some sort of vintage coat.  Perfect for men who have a larger chest or want to hide a bit of a stomach or fall weight, this is an absolutely fabulous tshirt for most men.  The thing I liked most about this Andrew Christian Deep Scoop Neck tshirt is that even people with round and oval faces were able to pull it off…it technically looked better on people with an ovular face but not bad at all for the people with round faces.

Ben Sherman Classic V Neck Mint Green Sweater

Ben Sherman Classic V Neck Mint Green Sweater

The Ben Sherman Mint Green Classic V Neck Sweater.  V Necks are back in big time for Men’s Fall Fashions.  We are seeing VNeck sweaters and tshirts everywhere and Ben Sherman V Neck Sweaters are taking over.  Ben Sherman Classic V Neck Sweaters come in everything from a fabulous dark blue to the mint green you can see here.  Another personal favorite Ben Sherman Classic Styled V Neck Sweater was the deep red or maroon color.  Not only are these perfect for wearing to work but you can easily wear them out walking and for casual wear as well.  Ben Sherman Classic V Neck Sweaters are the perfect early to mid fall sweater and if you live somewhere warm enough they are ideal for late fall…except for the mint which we may see coming back for winter.

Ben Sherman Chambray Western Woven Shirt

Ben Sherman Chambray Western Woven Shirt

One other Ben Sherman Shirt that I wanted to mention was his classic and vintage styled cowboy button down dress shirt.  It sort of reminds me of something my mom would wear except with its multi colored sleves and fantastic cuts, it is a modern and fun fashionable western wear for men for the fall.  If you have to go to a country western bar or a country night, this country western button down dress shirt from Ben Sherman is probably one of the perfect ones for you.  A couple years ago I found a fantastic pink and white one at Nordstroms from Seven Diamonds but unfortunately I haven’t found an appropriate occasion to wear it yet so make sure you know what you will do with or where you will wear this fabulous modern vintage styled country western cowboy button down dress shirt from Ben Sherman.

Deisel 55 Takeout Tshirt Longsleeves

Deisel 55 Takeout Tshirt Longsleeves

The Deisel 55 Longsleeve Takeout Tshirt.  This fabulous and classic styled long sleeve tshirt is nothing less than perfect from Deisel.  It carries over well for early fall and under a fall coat you can easily pull off this brown long sleeve tshirt.  I always love Deisel and when I was picking out shirts to review for this post, this long sleeve brown deisel 55 long sleeve brown tshirt definitely made it to the top of the list.  Wear it with grey or blue or any dark denim jeans and they’ll be perfect for clubbing or hanging out in a bar.  You can also probably see this shirt on yourself while walking through your city, the woods or even just to the store.  I love clothing that is universal enough to be worn whenever and the Deisel 55 Longsleeve brown tshirt is perfect for this. This is a must have long sleeve fall tshirt for men.

Fortunate Sun TDX Vneck Tshirt

Fortunate Sun TDX Vneck Tshirt

The Fortunate Sun TDX Brown Tshirt.  Although younger people would wear this brown tshirt by itself, if you are over 22 you will want to put it under something else like a zip down hoody, a cardigan or light indoor coat.  It has a youthful but sophisticated design and look but at the same time needs something more if you are over 22.  I don’t know if I would buy or wear this as it is not my style but I know that looks like these are not only always popular and in demand, but the color is perfect for many other fall lines so it is one of those shirts that will fit into your fall wardrobe easily.

Fred Perry Classic Green Polo

Fred Perry Classic Green Polo

Fred Perry Classic Green Vintage Polo.  Every season we see similar polos from every designer but for some reason I love this classic green polo shirt from Fred Perry.  Although Fred Perry is not as well known as other designers, his polo shirts are amazing for everyday wear, work wear and business casual.  You’ll also see his designs and styles showing up at clubs, lounges and bars everywhere in the fall since they carry over from work to fun for preppy and alternative people.  Match them with dark denim for fall or kahki pants for work, these fantastic mens polo shirts from Fred Perry are absolutely perfect and are absolutely Universal Gear for everyone.

Gstar Demin Battle Drill Bomber Jacket

Gstar Demin Battle Drill Bomber Jacket

The Gstar Battle Drill Bomber Jacket.  This bomber jacket from Gstar Demin is one of my absolute favorites from the fall line.  Not only does it work for preppy people but you’ll be able to see it on emos, punks, college students and just about everywhere.  You can dress it up or dress it down, accessorize it to match your own personal style or leave it how it is to just look great.  You cannot go wrong this fall with this amazing Gstar Battle Drill Bomber Jacket and you can find it at Universal Gear.  I love the Gstar Battle Drill Bomber Jacket and hope that you will to.  Buy them before they run out.

G Star Cole Cardigan Sweater

G Star Cole Cardigan Sweater

The Gstar Cole Cardigan Sweater.  Oddly enough my favorite clothes from Gstar usually don’t turn out to be denim.  Even though I am also not all about cardigan sweaters, this Gstar denim cardigan sweater jumped out at me as something that guys are going to love for fall.  Not only does it have a great cut, but you can wear practically anything from patterns to solids below.  Dress it up with a tie or down with a torn tshirt to go alternative, this Gstar cardigan sweater is absolutely perfect for men for the fall…especially if you want to try to pull off the nerdy or studious looks.

Levis Coated Scraped 54 Jeans Slim Fit

Levis Coated Scraped 54 Jeans Slim Fit

The Levis Coated Scraped 54 Denim Jeans.  Although I absolutely love the wash and the fade on the straight legged jeans, I can never get over the thread colors that Levis uses on their designer lines.  I did find myself wearing and loving a pair of Voi jeans from London with a similar colored thread and because they became my favorite jeans on earth I am giving Levis a chance this fall.  The wash and the cut on these Levis Coated Scraped 54 straight cut jeans is absolutely amazing and becaus the stitching does sort of work into fall colors they are an ideal darker jean to match everything from button down shirts to polos and especially tshirts.  I can also see these Levis Coated Scraped 54 Jeans matching the bomber jackets and hoodies perfectly.  Wear them with just about anything and you’ll look fabulous all fall long and even into winter.

Life After Denim Stadium Cardigan

Life After Denim Stadium Cardigan

Life After Denim Stadium Cardigan.  The Life After Denim Stadium Cardigan is a classic cut but more modern styled cardigan.  Unlike the Gstar cardigan it has a lower cut like Mr Rogers but a modern style and color pallette so that it is appropriate for more fashionable and younger people.  I could easily see this as an overcoat for early fall or for people who like the vintage look.  Pair it with a silver or steel bracelet or watch and decorate it for whatever fashion trend you fall into.

Penguin Vintage Mesh Polo Shirt in Blue

Penguin Vintage Mesh Polo Shirt in Blue

The Vintage Penguin Navy Blue Pullover.  Ok, if there is one designer that has my heart each year it is Penguin Brand Clothing.  They make my favorite polos and pullovers and this year they came out with a million Penguin Brand Polo shirts that I cannot live without.  This classic Navy Blue Penguin Polo Shirt is absolutely amazing for fall.  It is not only vintage styled but it can be work with kahkis to the beach or river parties and evening events or with dark denim to go to clubs and bars in.  You can wear it to work and even style it with an overcoat.  I love the preppy look and this classic dark navy blue Penguin Brand Polo shirt is absolutely perfect for everything and every occasion.  It is definitely a piece of clothing that could be universal gear since it can be worn just about anywhere.

Rock and Republic Threat Straight Leg Jeans

Rock and Republic Threat Straight Leg Jeans

Rock and Republic Threat Straight Leg Jeans.  These jeans look like leather pants in the photo and they are nothing short of amazing.  They scream mens fall fashion and I cannot think about anyone passing them by…you have to see them in person to understand how amazing these Rock and Republic Threat Straight Leg Jeans actually are.  They not only match every fall outfit listed here but they are amazingly fashionable and a must have in every man’s fall and winter wardrobe.  These Rock and Republic Threat Straight Leg Jeans are the go to jeans for when you need to look perfect, modern and fashionable and are a pair of jeans that you absolutely need to have.

Seven Standard Rebourn Straight Leg Jeans

Seven Standard Rebourn Straight Leg Jeans

Seven Standard Rebourn Straight Leg Jeans.  No fall mens fashion line up would be complete without something from Seven or from 7 diamonds so here are a pair of jeans from Seven that are not only great for casual wear year round but they can match most of the mens fall fashions and trends.  I personally love these Seven Standard Rebourn Straight Leg Jeans but unfortunately I already bought a few new pairs of jeans so I had to leave these off my fall wardrobe list this year.  If you have the extra room in your closet or on your list you need to buy these seven standard rebourn straight leg jeans.

Fall fashion is about darker and vintage but more modern classic looks colors and styles.  If you go down to middle america or high fashion you’ll see more punk and emo looks.  If you go to upper middle america and conservative or preppy looks you’ll see solid colors but also dark and metallic shades.  You’ll see lots of layers with Men’s Fall Fashion this year and jeans are dress jeans are back big time.  I love the Men’s Fall Fashion this year and know that you are going to go crazy for it and love it too.  You can buy all of these Men’s Fall Fashions at UniversalGear.com by clicking on this link.

UniversalGear.com – Hottest Shorts for Summer

So I wrote a post about the hottest underwear for the summer and for beach season this summer but what I forgot to do was share some of the hottest and most in style shorts for Summer.  Not only is plaid back in, but solid colors, stripes and fashion is back in full force.  No more boring kahki cargos this year, people forgot about how much they love color and design and so I went back to one of my very favorite shops and online stores if you don’t like in DC or Chicago and decided to share with you all some of the hottest shorts for summer and what is in style from UniversalGear.com.

Not only does UniversalGear.com feature some of the most fabulous mens clothing, but they are always on the top of their game when it comes to men’s fashions and they always share the best and most trendy clothing for every seasons.  This Summer season is no different.  Universal Gear has everything for everyone from the Beach to Picnics to Pride Parades and everything in between.  Here are some of my very favorite summer shorts for fashionable men this summer from Universal Gear and all of them are currently available on UniversalGear.com.

Ben Sherman Flat Front Kahki Shorts

Ben Sherman Flat Front Kahki Shorts

Although I am moving on from plain kahki shorts for the summer, well mainly just the boring kahki cargo shorts, I do have to say that I am absolutely in love with these Ben Sherman flat front Kahki shorts for men.  Not only did Ben Sherman take their flat front kahki shorts and make them fabulous by actually designing them, but they have also incorporated 5 pockets, a sleek design that shows off everything you would want to and a gorgoues triangluer design above the left leg.  I also love the button on the waist if you look closely at the image.  These Ben Sherman Flat Front Kahki Shorts are the only kahki shorts you should think about wearing this summer.

Ben Sherman Plaid Shorts

Ben Sherman Plaid Shorts

These next shorts are also mens shorts from Ben Sherman.  Plaid and colors are back this summer and Ben Sherman has found a way to make a plaid short perfect for all types of summer wear.

These orange and brown plaid shorts from Ben Sherman are perfect for the pool, the beach, volleyball and sports, great for walks or even just hanging out with a glass of chardonnay.

They match almost all skin tones and colors and are perfectly designed for casual fashion with a trendy flair.  I love the zipper up fly and the clasp closure on these ben sherman plaid shorts and you can find them for sale at UniversalGear.com.  Just click the image to go to the shorts section at Universal Gear.

Ben Sherman Seaview Blue Shorts

Ben Sherman Seaview Blue Shorts

This last pair of Ben Sherman shorts for men are the Ben Sherman Seaview Blue Shorts for men.  Just like the kahki pants above they are a flat front and have 5 pockets.  Although they aren’t a color or type of short I would personally wear, they are extremely popular and I know a ton of people are going to be wearing these this summer.

They go perfectly with plaid shirts, designed shirts, graphic tees and so many other popular summer styles this year.  If you need a versatile type of shorts to wear with your summer outfits and haven’t found that perfect pair of shorts yet, try these ones out and you will not regret it.  They go great with tan, brown, kahki, pink, some blues, light greens, stripes and a ton of other colors and styles.  Even though I wouldn’t wear them I do highly recommend them.  I am all about the plaid shorts this summer which is why I am not going with the normal ones like everyone else who is going plaid shirts and solid shorts.

G Star Black Hopkins Sweat Shorts

G Star Black Hopkins Sweat Shorts

These Black G Star Hopkins Sweat Shorts are perfect for walking to the beach in.  Not only do they scream sexy jock but they also work great to slip on and off for your bathing suit and because they are sweat shorts you can wear them to the pool, to workout in, as a cover up and pretty much anything else as an in between wear.

I love these g star black hopkins sweat shorts and know that you will to when you buy them and try them on.  They are perfect beach and poolside or workout wear for this summer.

Mens Deisel Shorts

Mens Deisel Shorts

Not only do I absolutely love Diesel clothing for men, but I love their summer shorts line.  Although these aren’t my favorite diesel shorts available, I do love that they are coming out and breaking out of their normal style and going for portait shorts, more vintage and modern art styled clothing and breaking out of their normal fabric choices.

These Mens Diesel shorts are definitely fashionable and can work great with the right outfit.  Personally I think they are made to be worn while you are going around without a shirt on but they can easily be made to match a ton of styles of shirts.  Although these shorts are not made to be a bathing suit, to me they also look like a bathing suit so if you are going to a pool party and aren’t sure if you want to go swimming or if you should wear a swimsuit or not, these mens deisel shorts are the perfect choice since they look versatile enough to be designer shorts or a bathing suit.

G Star Frisco White Mens Loose Shorts

G Star Frisco White Mens Loose Shorts

Ok I love these shorts and am definitely going to be buying them for myself for this summer.  Not only is G Star one of the hottest designers right now, but these G Star White Mens Loose Fit Frisco shorts scream summer and scream t dance or evening cocktails. They are perfect for shopping or cocktailing and even more perfect for cruise ships, parties and day wear.

I am completely in love with these white mens Frisco Loose Shorts from G Star and know that if you love white clothing or linen styled shorts but with design and fashion then you will absolutely love these G Star White Frisco Mens Shorts as well. These are a must have for this summer.

G Star Mens Plaid Shorts

G Star Mens Plaid Shorts

Ok, I am completely opposed to all cargo shorts for summer this year since that is all people were loving for regular wear these last couple years but when you take a designer like G star and let them put their own design and spin on the cargo shorts you get an amazing blend of traditional pants and shorts and something even more fabulous and fashionable.

Look at the angles, the pockets, the buttons and everything else.  I love the colors, the belt the design and how these cargo shorts fall along your body.  These are the only type of cargo shorts that should be work this summer as they take the traditional style of a cargo short but actually take it and make it fashionable.

Jet Lag Angelo Shorts

Jet Lag Angelo Shorts

I love these white Jet Lag Angelo Shorts.  They are made to help you look slimmer and longer and I love the worn out dyed fabric.  Not only does it take a vintage worn look and make it look more modern, but the design and stitching are fabulous and perfect for an all occasion shorts form t dances to parks and even picnics and pride festivals.

Because they aren’t a pure white either but multiple shades and stitches they can be combined with a million styles of shirts and are perfect for all types of wear at all time of the day.  I love these Jet Lag Shorts for Men and if you need a daily wear pair of shorts or a versatile and go to pair of shorts, these Jet Lag White Angelo shorts are the perfect pair of shorts for you this Summer.

Penguin Plaid Shorts for Men

Penguin Plaid Shorts for Men

What post would be complete without my very favorite shorts designer for this summer.  Penguin Brand Shorts for Men.

Not only are they my favorite shorts because they are seriously comfortable, but I love the plaid shorts and cut of them.  Penguin Plaid shorts for men are perfect for all types of events whether they are social or just hanging out with friends, shopping or running errands and even just going to movies or happy hour.

They are classic looking and fashionable and work perfect with vintage styled graphic t shirts or solid shirts and other more solid colored and styled shirts.  I love penguin brand clothing and my favorite shorts this summer are all penguin brand shorts for men.  If you haven’t tried on or seen any pairs of mens penguin brand plaid shorts yet then you have to order your first pair from Universal Gear by clicking on any of the links in this post or  by clicking on any of the images.

UniversalGear.com Top Underwear Styles for Summer

I cannot believe beach season is here and Rehobeth, Fire Island, Provincetown, etc… all start in less than two weeks.  Kick off season is here and many people haven’t done their shopping or figured out why to buy and try for bathing suits and underwear for this Summer and Beach Season.  I decided to try and make it easier on everyone and visited one of the most popular mens fashion boutiques and clothing stores called UniversalGear.com.

Not only does UniversalGear.com feature some of the most sought after styles of Men’s Underwear and the top designers, but they also have some of the most trendy looking and fabulous styles of Men’s Underwear and Bathing Suits.  They are an iconic store in cities like Washington DC and Chicago and are always on the top of the line when it comes to fashion and trends so you are sure to find the ideal bathing suits and underwear for Summer and all seasons when you shop for underwear at UniversalGear.com.

The other thing I really like about UniversalGear.com is that they also almost always have designer mens underwear on sale including your favorite brands and labels like Papi, Ed Hardy, Calvin Klein, 2xist, Andrew Christian, Clever and many more underwear designers.  They carry everything from jocks to thongs to briefs to boxers and even some random styles and designs that are somewhere in between.  If you need underwear or bathing suits to wear to the beach and want to find the most popular styles and trends for mens underwear, you have to visit UniversalGear.com.

Here are my top picks for the most Popular Men’s Underwear for the beach and summer.

2xist mens white briefs

2xist mens white briefs

These hot mens white briefs from 2xist underwear are not only hot for summer, but their simply and fashionable design show off your hot figure and scream fashion and definitely show you off as a hip and trendy person.  They are sleek and stylish and have just enough color to work it and show off that you have taste and style without going overboard.  I love these blue and white mens 2xist briefs from UniversalGear.com and think that they are a definite must have for beach season this year.  They are perfect to go with low cut shorts, white linen pants and add that perfect spot of color for white parties and look even better at foam parties.   These white and blue mens 2xist briefs are a must have for the person who wants to be stylish and fashionable but not be overbearing or in your face.

2xist pink and yellow briefs

2xist pink and yellow briefs

If you like to stand out more and want a pair of underwear that sort of also works as a bathing suit for those last minute pool parties, cookouts and tea dances, these sleek and slim cut 2xist mens briefs are the perfect ones to show that you are the life of the party.

Not only are they bright and colorful but they are also in your face fashionable if you like the loud look at me look.  The cut and design are absolutely modern and you cannot go wrong with the different color combinations that are available on the UniversalGear.com website.

Although these 2xist mens briefs are not really my styles I know a million men that would love them and know that they will definitely help you to stand out and be the life of the party this Summer during beach season.

Andrew Christian Almost Naked Mens Fusion Brief

Andrew Christian Almost Naked Mens Fusion Brief

If there is one mens underwear designer that has not only taken over what mens underwear fashion is and means but also taken it to the next level it would have to be Andrew Christian.

Not only has he brought us male enhancement underwear styles and new fabric combinations, but Andrew Christian has also brought us new styles, new shapes, new ways to look and feel sexy in our underwear and also made it possible to be fashionable in nothing but a jock or brief.  He took fashion and design and applied it to make underwear worth wearing and showing off and these Andrew Christian Almost Naked Mens Fusion Briefs are nothing short of fabulous.

To me they scream lifeguard and fun.  I love the design of the blue and white with accents and piping and even more I love how it keeps your eyes focusing on your front and back and your eyes off of your thighs to keep away from areas we don’t normally want to show off.  These underwear are great for parties, swimming and laying out to tan.  I love the Andrew Christian Almost Naked Mens Fusion Brief and know that you will to.

Andrew Christian Physical Education Jock Strap

Andrew Christian Physical Education Jock Strap

Talk about one of the classic Andrew Christian designs and styles.  The Andrew Christian Designer Mens Physical Education Jock Strap is hot fun and flirty for Summer.

Not only is it a classic styled jock strap that doesn’t go out of style but you are sure to turn heads when you are wearing this fun and flirty Andrew Christian Jock Strap.  I personally love this style and think it is classic enough that it won’t outdate itself and you can wear it for multiple beach seasons.

Mens Baskit Yellow and White Brief

Mens Baskit Yellow and White Brief

Baskit is one of the lesser known mens designer underwear brands.  Not only do they find a way to take classic styles and add in new shapes and colors, but they know how to design a breif or boxer brief that shows off all of your best features and make you feel and look sexy in your designer mens baskit underwear.  These yellow and white mens briefs are perfect for laying out in the sun and also for flirting and running around the beach house or even for gogo dancing at a party on an Atlantis Cruise.  I love the simple and fashionable mens underwear designs from Baskit and if you haven’t ever tried their underwear or heard of them you should seriously consider giving them a shot this Summer.

Celever Retro Underwear for Men

Celever Retro Underwear for Men

If you’re into retro styled underwear then you have to check out the designs from Clever.  Not only do they scream retro and classic style but they are also fashionable and affordable.  These ones to the left scream 1970′s to me and this summer we could definitely expect to see some retro styles and fashions coming back big time so these retro mens underwear from Clever are a must have for Beach season this summer.

Brazilian Flag Underwear

Brazilian Flag Underwear

Brazil is the new hot topic and color scheme this year.  We can’t all go to Brazil or Copa Cabana Beach but what we can do is steal their colors and designs similar to their flag and bring a bit of Brazil back to our own beaches and beach season.

These Brazilian inspired underwear from UniversalGear.com are perfect for beach wear and summer wear this beach season.  Not only are they a classic cut mens brief but they are seriously in fashion right now.  I personally love the color choices and they would look great with cargo shorts, green kakhis and so many other styles of summer shorts and pants.  The colors look great and the design perfect for low cut jeans and shorts and you will definitely get some looks with these Brazilian flag styled mens briefs from UniversalGear.com.

Ginch and Gonch Sizzle Sticks Boxer Briefs

Ginch and Gonch Sizzle Sticks Boxer Briefs

Ginch and Gonch are one of those not so well known brands of mens designer underwear.  They have a very similar look and feel to Ed Hardy but at the same time are a lot more tame and a lot less flashy than the Ed Hardy Brand Boxer Briefs.

These Ginch and Gonch Mens Boxer Briefs are a fun and sort of 1950′s 1960′s design that are not only great for everyone but also just seriously fun to wear.  I love their designs and even though they really aren’t a good fit for me I definitely think they are perfect for just about everyone else.

Hugo Boss Boxer Briefs

Hugo Boss Boxer Briefs

The Hugo Boss Boxer Briefs are a timeless classic for men.

They are simple enough to not stand out and bring to much attention to you but they are also designer and well known enough to keep you trendy and fashionable.

Hugo Boss Boxer briefs are for the more reserved and quieter person who likes to go to the parties and tea dances and still have a good time but not want to stand out to much or be to flashy.

Hugo Boss Boxer Briefs are the perfect mens designer boxer brief for the more conservative and laid back type of beach person.

Black Papi Boxer Briefs

Black Papi Boxer Briefs

Cherry Wood Humidor – Gifts for Father of the Bride or Groom

Personalized Cherry Wood Humidor – $ 50.99
“Every sophisticated man will want this personalized cherry wood humidor. Makes an elegant groomsmen gift or unforgettable present for a special man in your life. Holds up to 12 cigars and measures 8 1/2″” x 5 1/2″” x 2 1/2″”.”

When I was looking through my product catalogs for gifts for my Dad, I was remembering when I was younger and one of my favorite memories was lighting or cutting my Dad’s Cigars.  Although he would never let me actually smoke one, he would sometimes give me an unlit one to hold and pretend to smoke so I could feel grown up like him and also because it was a bonding thing for us.  Cigar smoking is a bonding activity and cigars are something many people use to celebrate.

People buy cigars to celebrate a baby being born, a wedding announcement, a bachelor party, an anniversary, a guys night out, a Vegas trip and pretty much anything that is fun and festive.  People don’t always associate cigars with cancer or smelling horrible, especially the cheap ones, but they associate it with class, fun and bonding with one another.  Cigars are an amazing way to not only create long lasting memories and bond with a heterosexual male, or a lesbian, and if you want to take cigar smoking or have a cigar aficionado or someone who just enjoys one every once in a while, you can go above and beyond giving them a zippo or pack of cigars and give them a humidor and if you really want to go above and beyond what you need to, fill the humidor up with high end or a mixed assortment of cigars and a cutter.  When I was looking for a gift for my Dad, although he actually quit smoking cigars and doesn’t keep any in his house, I saw the cherrywood cigar humidor pictured above and immediately thought of him.

One of my favorite memories of being a kid was hanging out with him and talking while he smoked a cigar.  I remember the smell, the way it puffed and how cool and mature he looked smoking.  Although I know it is bad for you and can kill you, back then it was one of the coolest things on earth and since we were never close or had bonding time, I always remember these evenings and still hold on to those memories today.

Although I am opposed to smoking now a days, I used to be a smoker, I do have to admit, on a special occasion I will probably have a cigar.  One of those occasions will be if I get married.

Not only will I probably have to get stuck with a Waspy or Firey Latino Father in Law, but I’ll have to do something important to impress him, especially if he is anti gay or ends up being one of those, no one is good enough for my kid Father in Laws.  You all know the kind I am talking about.  The nightmare kind you always see in wedding movies where they are never satisfied and make the Groom’s life hell.  Chances are that I will probably get stuck with one of these types of Father in Laws and one of the ways I am going to try and break him in is by bringing over a nice wooden humidor, even maybe one that isn’t overpriced but still looks classy like the cherrywood humidor above, fill it with a large assortment of nice cigars (the assortment is so I can almost ensure there will be one he likes) and also pair it with a bottle of scotch or brandy, depending on what my Partner would say his Dad prefers.

I love Cherrywood and Mahogony and a Cherrywood or Mahogony Humidor to me screams class and even if you don’t smoke or your Father in Law doesn’t smoke, Humidors still make great gifts for the Father of the Bride or gifts for the Father of the Groom.  Humidors can be used for storage, to hide things from his Wife, to store pictures or pretty much anything else that you wouldn’t want people to find.

I love the idea of giving a humidor for a gift and think that it makes a perfect gift for the Father of the Bride or the Father of the Groom to not only bond with him but show him you can be thoughtful and you made an effort to win him over.  Again, I am opposed to smoking, but I think that a cigar to bond with your future Father in Law is a perfect gift and way to build a relationship with him as well as show him you have some class and made an effort.  You may want to do a quick check with your Partner first though just to double check and make sure he was never addict as that could actually be a bad thing and you may want to rethink giving him a humidor for a gift to bond with him.  Anyways, order your cherrywood humidor here.

Watches from Love and Pride, A Perfect Wedding Gift

Filed under: Groom and Groomsman,Jewelry,Mens,Wedding Gift — Tags: , , , , — rollerbladerdc @ 6:43 pm

So I just realized something,,,I have been affiliated with Love and Pride for a very long time but I never actually recommend anything from them and I feel pretty horrible about that.  Love and pride has been an online retailer for many years for the gay community and they have some fantastic products for the gay community and I do believe still support us, so it is my turn to support them and start sharing some of their fabulous product lines with all of you.

Anyways, I was looking through their catalogs online and I found some fabulous looking watches that I didn’t know they even carried and the first thing that came to mind is why not recommend this as a great wedding gift idea for your Groom or Butch Lesbian Bride.  These watches from Love and Pride are gorgeous and if your partner and soon to be husband or wife are anything like my ex and always running late, well, now they won’t have an excuse with their new watch.  Especially on your wedding day when being late to the altar is absolutely unacceptable.

Now, on a quick note, I was reading through the descriptions and they were writing it is about piece and messages and all this other crap, well in reality, these are seriously cute watches so instead of reading into what they have for the descriptions, think about how cute they are and how fabulous they will look on your partner.

If you see a watch you like in this post, please feel free to click on it or the buy now button and you will be taken to that watch on the Love and Pride site where you can buy one for yourself or see the other watches that they carry.  I am loving the love and pride watches and I am sure some of you will too.

Mario Badescu Skin Care – How to use it and Where to Buy It!

Filed under: bride,make up,mario badescu,Mens — Tags: , — rollerbladerdc @ 7:40 pm

use the promo code ASHIP on orders over $50.

Soo with summer time here and everyone needing extra care for their skin, not only to protect it from the sun, but to repair damage done by the sun, chlorine or dirty ocean and lake water, and not to mention to take precaution for your wedding, a date or anything else that may call for perfect healthy and glowing skin, I wanted to share with you something that not many people can get (mainly because it is seriously expensive) an overview of proper skin care from Mario Badescu using Mario Badescu skin care products.

I had the very lucky and fortunate experience of getting to meet with Mario Badescu’s owner and CEO (believe it or not, he is straight and of course has amazing skin!) and after we got to talk for a while, he gave me probably one of the best gifts anyone could ever get.  A free line of his cosmetics and a consultant to help me find what would work best for me, as well as a ton of their other fabulous products that work great for almost everyone across the board.  Normally this is reserved for their celebrity clientel but since I was lucky enough to get this consultancy abut a year ago, I have decided to now share with everyone what I was taught and the different products that I am using.  Let me tell you, these products work amazing and even though I am normally alergic to almost everything (especially with a scent), for some reason, none of the Mario Badescu skin care products actually cause me to break out, turn red or get itchy.  They have also helped me to maintain flawless skin and make me look and feel younger.

I love the Mario Badescu products, my favorite being the cucmber clay mask, and although the consultancy is very expensive, like going in for a facial in their Manhattan office, their product line is affordable and can easily be bought by clicking on any of the links and images found in this post.

I have tried using a ton of other skin care products and lines and the only one I have ever stuck with and will use regularly is Mario Badescu.  Once you try it, you will never go back!

Now, before I start, this is just what I use regularly, there are a ton of other products that I love that they make like their botanical body wash that I love and adore, but since we are only talking about daily face and skin care, I am only mentioning face care and shaving needs from Mario Badescu.

enzyme cleansing gel Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel (16 oz.) – $ 20.00
This is Mario Badescu’s Best Selling Daily Cleanser. The Ezyme Cleansing Gel is a non-foaming, gel cleanser that helps to thoroughly remove the day’s make-up (if you wear it), as well as dirt and oil without drying your skin out. Made with Papaya Extracts are exfoliating Alpha Hydroxy Acids that helps prevent dulling build-up that can cause blackheads and pimples.  The Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel is a must have.  I love how clean my skin feels after everytime I use it.  I’m not just saying that either….you’ll see a couple products down I actually don’t like a couple of their skin care products.  ;-) .

How I was told to use the Enzyme Cleansing Gel:

Use twice daily to gently cleanse skin.

(On a side note) I like the way this feels.  This is a pretty cool product that does leave you feeling clean and refreshed.  When you aren’t using your twice weekly or three times a week cleaner, I highly recommend using the Enzyme Cleansing Gel at night before bed on your face and before you go out or just after you get up in the morning.

Mario Badescu Special Cucumber Lotion Special Cucumber Lotion (8 oz.) – $ 15.00
The Mario Badescu Special Cucumber Lotion is a refreshing and disinfecting deep cleaning astringent that is not only effective in drying up existing acne blemishes, i had some serious issues with this before I began using this product, while preventing new eruptions. Sulfur and soothing Cucumber based, acne fighting formula that is non-drying and non-irritating.

How I was told to use this:

use astringent twice daily after cleansing to prevent breakouts.

(On a side note)  This product does what it says.  I am not crazy about it but I do love it and I do enjoy using it.  If you have problem skin, you may want to include this in your arsenol of products that you use to fight blemishes….this mixed with the Buffering Lotion is a great way to help treat pimples and blemishes as well as prevent futures blemishes and pimples from forming.

Mario Badescu Ceramide Eye Gel Ceramide Eye Gel (0.5 oz.) – $ 18.00
The Mario Badescu Ceramide Eye Gel is used to improve the delicate eye skin’s hydration levels with our fabulous greaseless, lightweight ceramide eye gel formulated with softening Ceramides and nourishing Herbal Extracts. The Mario Badescu Ceramide Eye Gel diminishes puffiness and tired eyes. Store in the fridge for a soothing morning eye treatment.

How I was told to use this:

keep refrigerated – apply under eye area to hydrate and calm puffiness.
(On a side note) I always bring this with me when I travel,,,and call ahead to the hotel to make sure I have a fridge in my room so I can keep it cool.  This product is amazing and kind of funny.  I remember opening it for the first time and thinking it was like the slime stuff we used to play with when we were kids.  However, this slime helps to keep my eyes looking fabulous for meetings with Clients and dates with people or going out at conferences…this is another must have.  I don’t know if it is the gel that works or just the cool slime, but somehow my eyes never get puffy or baggy if I have this with me.

Mario Badescu Oil Free Moisturizer (SPF-17) Oil Free Moisturizer (SPF-17) (2 oz.) – $ 22.00
Like the Oil-Free Moisturizer, this lotion has the same benefits for oily and problem skin with added daily sun protection to keep scarring and discoloration to a minimum.

How I was told to use this:

use daily to moisturize face.

(On a side note) This is one that I can do without…really any moisturizer will do.  I actually prefer their olive based skin lotion to this, however this product is one I do actually continue to use in the summer if I am going to be out in the sun, but if not, then I usually pass on it.  I know I shouldn’t but hey, it is fairly pricey.  This product also combines with an after shave hydrating balm which I mention later on in this post.

Mario Badescu Cucumber Tonic Mask Cucumber Tonic Mask (2 oz.) – $ 18.00
The Mario Badecu Cucumber Tonic Mask is made to purify and tighten pores with this cooling, refreshing, mask. Made with soothing Cucumber Extract and oil absorbing clays. For maintenance on normal, combination and oily skin, this mask keeps skin looking smooth and healthy.

How I was told to use it:

use two to three times weekly for 15 minutes to deep clean skin – follow the Mario Badescu Cucumber Tonic Mask with a toner.
(On a side note) This is my very favorite product from all of Mario Badescu.  I cannot live without it.  It cleans out all my blackheads, makes my skin feel tighter, it’s refreshing and it is one of the most relaxing products I have ever used in my life.   The Mario Badesce Cucumber Tonic Mask is a must have and must try and must use.   This is one product I recommend to everyone everywhere.

Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser Glycolic Foaming Cleanser (6 oz.) – $ 15.00
The Glycolic Foaming Cleanser from Mario Badescu is for dull, congested skin.  I hate the way they describe that….it makes you feel like that isn’t me, but seriously give this stuff a shot and don’t assume your skin is perfect, we all have skin issues to work on and this is one of the good products.  This lathering, deep cleanser has the exfoliating powers of Glycolic Acid to break down build-up from skins surface, reduce minor discoloration and leave skin radiant and smooth. Formulated with Herbal Extracts for soothing benefits. Best when used 2-3 times weekly or as recommended by your skin specialist based on your skins needs.

How I was told to use this:

use two to three times a week (always use when I get in on Sunday morning for me if I go out and have been sweating and drinking the Saturday night before I get into bed) at night to deep clean and exfoliate the skin.

(On a side note) I actually do like this.  If I have been sweating or around smoke, this makes my skin feel good, clean and fresh before bed and I love laying down with my skin and face feeling fresh.  I actually do recommend buying this product if you like a clean feeling face if you sweat a lot or have an active social life on the weekends, or even if you just need a product like the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser.

Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion Buffering Lotion (1 oz.) – $ 17.00
This is probably the best known product in the Mario Bedscu line, it is the Mario Badesc Buffering Lotion which is specifically designed to treat deep, cystic blemishes. Mario Badescu Buffering lotion is a sulfur based solution that allows the lotion to be quickly absorbed into the skin in order to treat the source of deeply rooted pimples. Buffering Lotion is an excellent acne treatment containing Allantoin to calm and soothe inflammation and promote healing. Buffering Lotion is best when used before and after Drying Mask.

How I was told to use this:

Shake well then apply one to two drops on deep blemishes using my fingertips to heal blemishes.

(On a side note) I know a ton of people that call this the miracle acne cure.  Some think it works instantly, however I disagree.  It definitely clears up pimples and in my opinion, much faster than Oxy Pads or Pro Active, however it usually takes two or three applications to get rid of my tough zits.  I do also use this on ingrown hairs.  It isn’t designed for that, but it seems to help dry them out so that I can pop them or get the hair out so it doesn’t swell up any more or hurt.

Here are the famous Mario Badescu Shaving products for men.

Mario Badescu Pre-shave Conditioner for Men Pre-shave Conditioner (4 oz.) – $ 14.00
Prone to Razor Bumps and Ingrown Hairs? This soothing gel formulated especially for men with tough beards, softens course beard hair, allowing for an easier, more comfortable non-irritating closer shave. Helps to prevent minor skin irritations and razor burns. Made with calming Azulene and anti-inflammatory properties of Lavender Extract to reduce redness while it soothes the skin.

How I was told to use this:
Apply a thin layer under the shaving cream to prevent razor burn.

(On a side note) I personally don’t like pre shave conditioners and do not usually have time for the extra prep work to use them.  I know it is only a minute, but I never actually use this unless it is a special occasion and I plan on giving myself enough time to actually go ahead and apply this with a few other things.  This is a good product, but I don’t normally use it very often.

Mario Badescu Shaving Cream Shaving Cream (4 oz.) – $ 12.00
Soften and Prepare the Beard For a Perfect Shave. A thick and concentrated shaving cream that protects and moisturizes the skin. Non-foaming formulation provides maximum moisture from the harsh effects of daily shaving. Lavender has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.

How I was told to use this:

apply a thick layer on top of the pre shave conditioner before shaving.
(On a side note) This is just like any other shaving cream, sure I love it and it isn’t a horribly oily or greasy mess, but then again, I don’t like spending a ton of money on shaving cream, if you like labels and want a nice shaving cream and don’t mind spending a few extra bucks, then go for it.  The Mario Badescu Shaving is pretty nice but I could do without.

Mario Badescu Vitamin A & E Hydrating Balm Vitamin A & E Hydrating Balm (1 oz.) – $ 25.00
An Aftershave Balm and Moisturizer in One. Lightweight hydrating balm softens the skin and reduces irritation. Formulated with Peanut Oil which is an emollient high in Vitamin A along with Cucumber Extract to help soothe sensitive skin. For use after shaving, at night before bed, or under a moisturizer for maximum benefits.

How I was told to use this:

apply a few drops underneath the Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 17 (listed above) to help nourish your skin after shaving.

(On a side note)  I do actually kind of like this, I don’t always use the Moisturizer as I said above, but I do like this product and like the way it feels.  This is one I do recommend if you want to try something new.

Makebeer.net – Make Your Own Beer Kits at Home Brewery!

MakeBeer.net - Sure beats stamp collecting!

So one thing in common between straight men asking their future father in law for their duaghter’ hand in marriage have in common with gay men and lesbian women is that they are nervous.   You never know how your future Father in Law will react.   Sure, they may like you while you are dating and just bite their lip expecting nothing to come from your relationship with their little girl, but then again, you guys see it differently and actually know that marriage is in the future.

Although bribes are not a good term to use, but giving your soon to be dad a gift is a good way to help break the news.  I was talking to a friend of mine last night who does Marketing consulting and he told me about a new Client of his who sells do it yourself home brewery kits that allow you to make beer on your own. When he was telling me about this kit and about the new client, I was like hey,,,, this is perfect for a gift to lighten up the tension and make it easier to ask your future father in law for his son or daughters hand in marriage.  If he’s a beer drinker, then this gift is perfect.  It allows him to not only brew his own beer in his own home, but he gets to design the taste, flavor, customize the bottles and customize the beer to his likings, not to mention brag to all of his friends that he brewed the beer himself and in his own home.  I love this idea and think it is an absolutely perfect gift idea to break the news to your future Father in Law.

Now, I know you would probably be jealous of your Father in Law having his own home brewing kit, so here is the way to convince your partner that not only is it great for their dad, but why you need one too.  Chances are you are having a bachelor party, ore bachelorette party, wouldn’t it save a ton of money for you if you just brewed all the beer yourself.  Then after the party is over, why not get the next round going because there is always a sports season, a superbowl party, someone having a birthday, or really any other occasion where having freshly brewed beer in your home makes it easier and more cost effective to host an event.  You may also want to mention how much you and your partner hate carrying heavy grocery bags.  By brewing your own beer at home, you eliminate all the weight from having to shlep yet another liquid in a bag and save all those aches and pains from heavy grocery bags.

Anyways, you can see that I am in love with this brew your own beer at home idea and there are a million uses for it that are not only practical, but economical and fun.  You can now be proud to serve your guests beer by being able to say that you made it yourself.  Ohh and if your other half is the emotional and clingy type, you can even push it off as a thing you can both do together and then enjoy again when it is ready to celebrate your love and have alone time with.

Anyways, order your home beer brewing kit from Make Beer today by clicking this link and enjoy your own custom made beer year round.
