It’s pretty normal to wear a speedo in Europe, even mandatory at French public pools. The speedo has helped men win Olympic gold medals and gave us a reason to watch Baywatch. Still, American men tend to have mixed feelings on how to wear a speedo - if at all. To help you out, we searched for the most common questions about speedos asked by guys on online forums (Quora, Reddit, Yahoo! Answers, etc.). You just might find the answer to your awkward speedo question below!

Kilts have been around since the 17^th Century, but we're still faced with the anxiety of wearing kilts in public. When Kanye West wore a leather kilt on tour back in 2011, it created such an outrage that he eventually asked Getty Images to remove the photos. You can still find his notorious kilt on Google images today, but it also opened up a bigger discussion around the way we conceive men’s fashion. So, what’s the big deal with men wearing kilts anyways? Ancient Egyptian men of all hierarchies used to wear the shendyt, an adaptation of the early hunting skirt. The Balkans created the fustanella, which is a white pleated skirt worn for ceremonial purposes. Men in Fiji, Bhutan or Senegal still wear knee-length sarongs and dress robes as part of their regular dress. 

Between all the shopping and wrapping, you might not have time to plan which holiday party outfits you’ll be wearing for your upcoming RSVP’d soirées. For those that can’t even right now, don’t go popping the cork on that stress relief juice (that some call wine) just yet. It’s actually not that difficult to pull together last-minute ensembles that look anything but last minute. You'll get ideas for men’s holiday party outfits that are way easier to create than the unsolved mysteries of Trump’s comb-over.

Packing light for vacation can seem impossible for guys that love clothes. You suddenly feel the urge to pack that new t-shirt that’s been sitting in your closet for months. But – deep down inside – you know it’s just going to be taking up space in your suitcase the entire trip. On top of that, you need to deal with the stress of packing just enough stuff so that your luggage isn’t over the weight limit. If you’re determined to travel light on your next vacay, we found the best travel essentials for men that’ll instantly downsize your summer packing list. Even better, you can actually stuff all these items into one backpack.

Everybody sweats. From your creepy neighbor to your sexy co-worker, we all do it. Despite this natural bodily function, not everyone knows how to prevent sweat stains when it’s 90 degrees outside. So what’s the next best thing? Unlike winter that allows you to dress up in patterns and layers, summer requires a special kind of touch. From understanding fabrics to choosing colors, any man that wants to stay cool will find these tips on how to prevent sweat stains useful.

Meggings are without a doubt one of the sexiest items among mens workout clothes, but the truth is – you just can’t pull them off without confidence. As soon as you roll into the gym in skin-tight men’s compression pants, it’s basically open season on your legs, butt, and junk. Unless you’re one of those guys that always wears shorts over everything, it’s pretty much impossible to hide your man parts in men’s athletic tights. What you can do is naturally enhance what you’ve already got with colors, patterns and accents.

Unless your name is Elton John or Karl Lagerfeld, you probably can’t pull off sunglasses at night without being judged for committing a fashion faux pas. For those of us that don’t need to hide our identity from paparazzi, it’s not that easy to walk into a nightclub with shades on without getting frisked by security or suspiciously eyeballed all night. But, let’s be honest – how many times do we buy a certain style of sunglasses because it complements our face without checking to see if it comes with UV protection? Today’s trends in men’s sunglasses are more about making a fashion statement over being worn as a visual aid against glare. Here are a few tips and tricks so you can get away with wearing sunglasses at night (and not look crazy).

James Bond is the classic example of an irresistible man that personifies the art of manliness. He’s a well-dressed man with a neat shave, and knows all the right things to say at exactly the right moment. Basically, the modern-day gentleman that makes women (and men) weak at the knees. As idealistic as this man sounds, we have to remind ourselves that Mr. 007 is only a fictional character on the silver screen. For decades, we’ve looked up to this pop culture icon for his savoire faire, quick wit, and impossibly handsome looks, but living in an Octopussy fantasy and smooth talking in puns is just not realistic. Being an irresistible man in the real world is more about being confident with whom you are over knowing how to shoot guns while wooing your lady sidekick.
