Editor Feature Introduction Lee has been working extremely hard on this set of articles which involved gathering the opinion of literally 1000′s of our readers and followers. He started out with a large list of top best dressed males of 2009 and then gathered the popular opinion from REAL men who LOVE fashion. This isn’t a what we say goes list like many publications, and would not be swayed by 1000′s of young teens all voting for Robert Pattinson (GQ’s Number 1? WTF! Pur-lease), so with this in mind we…

Editor Note: Welcome to FashionBeans.com first EVER street style post. My two amazing writers Lee Malone and Dara Ohanlon (works on the women’s side), recently attended the Clothes Show live in Birmingham to get the scoop on the major fashion trends for next year, as well as seeing what was massive this season as well. Whilst they were there they managed to get some great street style shots of some males who were also there taking in the event. These males stood out as they obviously put together some great…

Editor Note: Layering is maybe one of the most important skills (yes skills) you can learn if you want to be considered a fashionable male. In my eyes it is the KEY to fashion – once you have layering down then you will continue to produce high quality outfits on a consistent basis.

Solely worn for relaxing and sleeping, loungewear is clearly a personal decision based on your own comfort and is a great area of your wardrobe where you have a lot of freedom to play around…

Editor Note: They had this conversation on Scott Mills Radio 1 show yesterday so I thought now would be the best time to post this article and let you join in the debate. You can read my first take on Ugg Boots here. Lee has his own view however in this article. Enjoy. Back in March Ben released an article about men’s Ugg boots which received quite a mix response; most of the comments were against guys Uggs while a few were still a bit 50/50 and thought they could…

A key basic in any guys wardrobe is a polo, it’s a classic choice for an outfit when a t-shirt is simply too casual. Throughout the summer polos have been teamed with above the knee shorts, boat shoes and a pair of wayfarer sunglasses for the amazing French Riviera or Nautical looks that were so popular. Now we can continue that relaxed but refined style right through the winter with the long sleeve polo. With more and more designer’s releasing the long sleeve polo in their latest collections, it has…
