This week I have been pleasantly surprised by the fashionable looks worn by many male students surrounding DePaul University in the ultra trendy Lincoln Park neighborhood of (frigid) Chicago.
After being bombarded with expensive cardigans, spotless pea coats, and perfectly styled hair, I have decided to construct a similarly styled outfit for the college guy on a budget. Realistically, most college students cannot afford to go to

One upscale store in the world of men’s fashion is the British mega-brand TOPMAN, which is the men’s version of the popular TOPSHOP. While walking the Magnificent Mile in Chicago on New Year’s Eve, I ventured into TOPMAN for the first time.

Naturally, I have been subjected to some horrific fashion decisions, as well as some really good ones. I love winter because it forces people’s true fashion sense to come out. Here are some of the dos and don'ts that the trendy and not so trendy men of the South have inspired.
