Mens Post: Ankle Boots

Mens ankle boots come in many forms and many names; Chukkas, Beatle Boots, Chelsea Boots - to name a few. Though they have a number of names their uses are far more abundant. I reckon a man could get away with owning only four pairs of shoes; a black dress shoe, a running shoe, a boat shoe (Men don't wear flip flops, boys do) and a great versatile ankle boot. Given the plethora of boot styles out there this boot can be the most telling of a mans personal style. Whether it is a slim line leather lace up or and earthy suede chukka, their is a pair out there for every man. I've compiled a few to get you started of many varying styles, and when you only need one go ahead and invest a little more so maybe you can go three years between shopping excursions instead of just one ;)

Also because it seems men like to shop in one fast sweep I have selected all the boots from Nordstrom- one stop shopping from a place with excellent customer service!

A Post for the Men: Socks

Ok guys, this is a pretty cheap and easy redo to your wardrobe, although depending on how into it you get it could get expensive. That said, here are a few options at reasonable prices to get your toes wet... errr keep them warm and dry?

Here is the deal, plain black dress socks just show how boring and uninspired you are, and white socks show you are just plain old lazy. Add a little bit of easy style to your wardrobe and the ladies will think you are a dapper dude who gives a shit about his appearance, which means he is a guy that gives a shit about things in general....that is a good quality to have!

Be bold! Be brave, take the dive and I promise you will garner compliments from the ladies in your life, hopefully not just from your mom....

1. Cheap and easy, go ahead and order multiples of craziest colors.
2. Yikes! Stripes!
3. Spots and Dots 
4. Hip To Be Square
