Gossip Guys - Do You Have What It Takes?

Ive decided to take on writing about the Phenomenon called "Gossip Girl". This season, I got the opportunity to become a Gossip Guy myself on the Television show. I may not have been a Chace Crawford or a Penn Badgley, but let's face it, who is? In today's publication, I want to prove to you that you may be closer to being a Gossip Guy than you think. Looks, Style, Fashion is what you need ... oh, and one more thing ... ME! and I am here to show you.

Let's start with Looks. Let's face it, we are not all top models. I will tell you, a good 75% of us on the show are definitely NOT. But the one thing that puts the cast of Gossip Girl above the rest is what I like to call LOOK CONFIDENCE. As long as you have the knowledge that you are a sexy, young beast, you are half way there! Easier said then done, right? But let's get into the fashion side. It seems like the boys in the show have a cool sense of preppy meets edgy look. As difficult as this concept may seem, its not that difficult to execute. Let me show you some examples.

Apart from the St. Jude's School for Boys uniform, we meet the many students at high class Upper East Side Parties in slick, stark lines of drab colors and formal satires of what their parents want them to wear.

Take out that White Button Up and that Tux shirt and unbutton it to the 4th button

Use a skinny Black Tie and wrap it around your Left Bicep with a button up white oxford. Very sexy.

Also, A wonderful addition to any Male's wardrobe is the Black Velvet Blazer. It is the classy touch that the single woman would NEVER expect a straight man to wear to a function and the item a gay man should have purchased when he was 12...Seriously guys, YOU NEED ONE OF THESE. You can purchase one at H&M for under 50.00 or at ZARA for about $129.99. I'd go with the ZARA brand, but if you are on the pinch this month, go with H&M. Believe me, you'll have the girl in the bag, and that hot guy out of the the closet in no time.

Every man needs to know the word TAILORED. This word is the key to Chic Male Style. Let's face it, Baggy is out. Very FAR OUT. Now, I don't mean completely convert to the extremely tight English rock look, but where your trousers fit. It is all about the European mindset. As males, we should show off our bodies as much as we can. It is what women want. They want to get a peak at what they are investing in. I kid you not gentlemen. The tapered pant look is in now. Throw some of those Euro fitted Tapered trousers with some Chucks or some pointed black shoes with a solid deep earth tone long sleeve, contrasting scarf and you're there.

Well, there you go with the styles of the boys on Gossip Girl. Let's face it, we may not be as Hot as say Ed Westwick, but one things for damn sure, we can dress like them!

Namaste and Be Well,
