Let’s start here: I’ve never been embarrassed when I wear shoe lifts, and I don’t think you should be, either. Adding a little bit of height is a great way to feel more confident and comfortable, so there’s no reason not to do it. However, there are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to men’s height increase insoles, not to mention how many complicated features these simple-seeming products can…

Never mind how it got that name. Never mind that it’s not much to look at on a hanger. Never mind even that Steve McQueen wore one.

If you’re a body ink enthusiast looking for a tattoo that’s subtle but has the power to turn heads (yes, such mythical designs do exist)—white ink will do the trick. White tattoo ink gives body ink designs a certain crisp edge. You can mix it with color (advisable to only mix the same brands) or just stick with dot or line designs that exude coolness, character, and a certain edgy…

They provide maximum breathability, but also, if you have the wrong pair, they can be incredibly tight and uncomfortable. Not all are the best shorts for guys with thick thighs.

Since just before the turn of the new year, we’ve been one of the mane advocates (not a typo) of letting hair grow long in 2017. Of course, we took our lead from the experts in the hair world, and later the runway shows and designers at men’s fashion weeks all over the globe. However, it’s all well and good aiming for Austin Butler’s surfer waves or Prada’s seventies shag, but how can the everyday man…

You’d have to have been living under some large and particularly cumbersome rock to have missed the Marmite TV phenomenon of our time: Love Island. And, whichever side of the national divide you found yourself on this summer, it’s impossible to deny the show’s impact.
