So if you are also feeling the cold weather this start of the year, why not consider getting this jacket from Jag Thug?

It has this kind of laser-like, trendy and abstract designs which you may mistake as glow in the dark (but they’re not). It also has a foldable hood at the back which will be useful in case it rains.

Just in case you are curious, this jacket is selling at 1600+ Pesos. Highly-recommended for highschool and college lads as well as professionals who have a sense of style. I’d say this is probably the last men’s jacket we will feature here in PGG before Summer 2012 arrives.

So, how do you like the jacket?

1. Pioneer RSM400DV Mini Component System - If you have a thing for music and love the strong bass sound that you hear in Republiq, Encore or concerts in Araneta or Mall of Asia, then this one is a must-have. Its beat will turn your house into a party club.

2. The Right Amount of friendship and attraction to become lovers – I wrote this article some time before Valentine’s day. It’s kind of a formula which gives you a clue on the right combination of friendship and attraction before you turn your date into a girlfriend.

3. Creative Recreation at Complex Store – Creative Recreation calls their shoes as “lifestyle shoes” – which means they are the shoes you’d like to have around on any occasion. I actually like their products. Even celebrities wear them. However, a particular problem I am seeing is that their shoes which are size 10 and above are always out of stock. It’s sad that I wasn’t available to buy one because they are not available. I am a size 12 by the way.

4. Coat + Jeans = Dressed to Kill –  Wearing a coat together with a pair of jeans and shirt is probably one of the biggest men’s fashion trends this year. It’s a style that is a hybrid between formal and casual wear. It turns out that this style clicked with the majority of the guys.

5. Ever tried an electronic cigarette? – I am not a smoker but I once spotted these electronic cigarettes in Greenhills. But I guess the most important question is – are they truly a better alternative to the regular cigarettes?

6. Wear an Azkals shirt to show your support – These shirts have been around throughout the year and I do hope that they are not just a fad. Let’s continue to wear them and to show our support to the Philippine National Football Team. Thank you Azkals for awakening the football interest of the Filipinos!

7. Manila & Pilipinas on Collezione’s Summer Shorts for Men – These Philippine-themed men’s shorts (though expensive) were the coolest thing to wear last summer.

8. Filipino Men: the most Narcissistic in Asia – This is a very interesting news article that I came across. It says that we Filipino guys are too concerned about our looks? If it’s true, I don’t think it’s really that bad. Let’s just not overdo it.

9. Couple Shirts – It has been a trend for couples this year to wear these couple shirts. It can be cheesy for some but I guess it really depends upon you and your girlfriend.

10. Today’s word is LEGS. Spread the word. – Some shirts are just so green, it makes you grin.

11. Dockers Alpha Khaki for the Alpha Males – Dockers pioneered the khaki revolution this year and the rest of the brands followed. These days, khakis are one of the best alternatives to your blue jeans.

12. Five things every guy ought to know when it comes to relationships – I’d probably say that this is one of my best and most favorite write-ups this 2011. It details the lessons (DO’s and DON’Ts) that I have learned in my past relationships hoping that other guys will learn from them too.

13. Wrangler Men’s Bomber Jacket – The name says it all. This jacket with removable sleeves is the BOMB!

14. The Surfer Dude’s Hairstyle – For 2011, the surfer dude’s hairstyle stood out among all other men’s hairstyles. Mind you that they are great for any season, not just summer.

15. AntiFit: A brand to watch out for – A very promising men’s clothing brand. Check them out when you go to department stores.

16. Feiyue Shoes and Sperry Top-siders now in Manila – Two shoe brands with different styles and different origins that have found their way to the Philippines.

17. Nerdy Glasses – If there is one men’s accessory that became an instant hit this 2011, it would be none other than these Nerdy Glasses.

18. The World Is Just Awesome – Check out these statement shirts brought to us by Regatta and Discovery Channel. It seems that this year, intelligent and smart look is in.

19. International Men’s Day and PGG’s Male Role Models 2011 – Last International Men’s Day, PGG picked Pacquiao, Babbage, apl.de.ap and Beckham as four male role models of 2011. Read the write-up to find out why.

20. Smart Casual Men’s Collection from Crocs – Crocs goes from the usual sandals to shoes. Check out more of their men’s collection here.

21. Onésimus White Stylish Jacket – I wonder why PGG readers did not like this jacket that much. Maybe because it’s so white that it easily gets dirty? I don’t know. Trust me guys, it looks better if you see it in actual compared to what is shown in the photo.

22. Abercrombie & Fitch Singapore and their Fierce Men’s Cologne – Just this December I witnessed the grand opening of Abercrombie & Fitch Singapore. I just can’t get enough of Abercrombie’s Fierce Men’s Cologne. It is one of the best men’s fragrances that I have smelled and owned so far aside from Lacoste Essential.

23. Show Your Style Season 2 – How could we ever forget the very successful PGG’s Show Your Style Season 2? This 2011, PGG received so many entries from all of you that we had the entire contest running for over two months! Congratulations once again to the winners and thank you to all the participants for showing what you’ve got and for inspiring PGG readers as well.

Singapore is one of Asia’s fashion hubs and during the time I was there, I was lucky enough to witness the grand opening of Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) – an American casual clothing retailer. They are a well-known clothing brand internationally and believe it or not, during their opening, lots of people (men and women) were lining up outside their store. The scenery looked like Apple’s launching of the iPhone – yes, they are that popular.

One of the things that attracted people to their store is the very fragrant scent. Apparently, Abercrombie sprayed their men’s cologne named “Fierce” all over the store. It just smelled so good that even people walking right outside the store were wondering who was wearing the perfume. Little did they know that it is the entire shop that was smelling so good.

And the strategy worked very well for Abercrombie & Fitch. Lots of guys (I included) soon found the men’s cologne, queued and bought it.

The sad thing is that there is no Abercrombie & Fitch store here in Manila so I just don’t know where to buy the fragrance once I use up the entire bottle.

Now speaking of A&F clothes, I’d say they are made of good quality but they are a bit pricey for casual clothes. Their shirts cost around 120 SGD (roughly 3,000 Pesos) making them not just an average brand but more of a luxury clothing. Not to mention that their sizes are usually bigger than what we have in Manila as their clothes are catered mostly for Americans so it is understandable that they have larger sizes.

All in all, I would recommend Abercrombie & Fitch for those who have extra money for luxury clothes and for those who need bigger clothes sizes than what we have in the Philippines. Also, I would like to reiterate that Abercrombie’s Fierce Cologne is probably one of the best men’s fragrances I have smelled so far aside from Lacoste Essential.

Climate change? Maybe. But whether it rains or not, there is nothing quite like this white stylish jacket from Onésimus.

Click images below to zoom into the details.

It is such a pretty jacket! The thing is, it is a limited edition jacket from Onésimus. It’s not that easy to find them but I was lucky enough to chance upon it selling at 50% off at the mall a couple of months ago. The cost? Roughly around 1,400 Pesos. That is the discounted price by the way. For a jacket this nice, I’d say it’s a really good deal!

That’s right. Check out their newest smart casual collection for men below.

Thompson Lace

Made of full-grain leather upper, the Thompson lace features rubber outsole pods for traction and durability.

Thompson Low

Well this one here is similar to Thompson Lace minus the lace.

Santa Cruz

The Santa Cruz is a slip-on style loafer for easy on and off. It’s upper portion is made of canvas while it’s outsole is made of rubber.

Santa Cruz Lounger Plaid

It’s the same with the Santa Cruz but the difference is that it is made of waxed canvas for better water resistance.

Based from Crocs’ press release, these shoes are for the busy guys who want to wear something relaxing but still smart enough for the office environment. I guess these pairs are perfect for the city guys who commute and are always on the go.

Surprisingly, in our country, we don’t celebrate it. Actually, I was clueless about it until I stumbled upon an article in Wikipedia a couple of years back.

The idea of celebrating men’s day is for the promotion of men’s health, gender equality and to highlight positive male role models.

So let’s see. In celebration of this year’s International Men’s Day, Pinoy Guy Guide names Four Male Role Models who have excelled in different fields and who made a difference in one way or the other. So who made it to the list? See them below:

Sports – Manny Pacquiao

Although his last boxing match with Marquez was sparked by controversy, I really admire Pacman for his passion in his sport. This guy is one of the very few who started from nowhere but his hardwork and dedication to boxing paid-off and catapulted him to where he is right now.

What I like best about him is that he is down-to-earth and God-fearing no matter how successful he is. A good role model? I’d say absolutely!

Science & Technology - Charles Babbage

It might be the first time you’ve heard his name, but without him, maybe you wouldn’t be surfing the Internet now nor would you have a computer reading this article from Pinoy Guy Guide.

So who is he? He is the father of computers. Despite the lack of money and research funding during his time, he still managed to invent the difference engine which was an automatic, mechanical calculator. Now that mechanical calculator evolved to the computers we have today. I know he’s not as famous as Bill Gates nor the late Steve Jobs but hey, this dude deserves some credit for his hardwork!

Celebrity / Music – Allan Pineda Lindo, Jr. (a.k.a. apl.de.ap of The Black Eyed Peas)

He is half-Filipino who came from a broken family in Angeles Pampanga but that did not stop him to go from being no one to someone who is a member of a very successful and popular group in the music industry – The Black Eyed Peas.

What I like about him is that although he is half-American, it looks like he is more proud to be Pinoy as evident in the lyrics of his songs and his official website which displays the map of the Philippines as the splash screen. And to top that off, he is also doing charitable works for the youth here in the Philippines. Such a great guy!

Style – David Beckham

You must be surprised that I placed him in the style category and not in sports where he is best known for. Well the reason being is that:

1.) He is a well-known football player and like him I used to play football too. (though I’m not as good as him, that’s for sure.)

and at the same time…

2.) He is a men’s style icon and he even said in one of his interviews that he loves to look his best all the time .

Beckham is one of the very few sports people that I know who perfectly combines being athletic and stylish at the same time. He always tries to be his best even if he is in his mid-thirties already. It only proves that age does not matter at all.

And it does not end there. I have read somewhere that aside from being a football and style icon, he is supporting UNICEF’s projects as part of his charity work.

There you have it – Pacquiao, Babbage, apl.de.ap and Beckham. They are the Four Male Role Models of Pinoy Guy Guide for this year’s International Men’s Day 2011.

So let’s see your opinion: Should we celebrate International Men’s Day in the Philippines? Why? Who are your male role models?

Well it looks like we are in for another round of nerdy men’s fashion as Regatta has recently partnered with Discovery Channel. The result? Discovery’s very own “The World Is Just Awesome” tagline shirts:

So it seems that the intelligent lifestyle is really in nowadays right?

Hmm, not bad. I even think it is a good and positive campaign considering that these days, many students are just copying and pasting projects from the Internet without even bothering to read. In this time and era, statement shirts like these do help a lot to increase awareness that being nerdy and curious is not bad. It’s actually cool!

As far as I know, they are called “Nerdy Eyeglasses” because as the name suggests, it is the type of glasses that nerd but intelligent people wear.

They are pretty common and lots of guys are fond of wearing them. I think the primary reason why many guys wear them is because of the known fact the most women are easily turned on by intelligent guys. So most dudes think that if only they looked more intelligent, more women will be attracted to them – at least initially.

But somehow, wearing nerdy glasses is a double-edged sword. It can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on how you look like. What I mean is, if you are already nerd-looking and you wear nerdy glasses, then you look more nerd than ever. Meanwhile, if you are already good-looking, wearing it might actually make you look more attractive to the ladies. You see, it has the ability to amplify your current looks.

Curious where to buy them? Well optical shops do have them and that’s for sure but they are expensive especially if you’ll just wear them for fashion’s sake. I suggest that you find cheaper ones. Actually, some PGG Forum members have found some sidewalk vendors selling them for 50 Pesos only. The other inexpensive ones which have better quality cost around 100 Pesos. I managed to buy one from a department store. Not bad if you’ll just be wearing them for style because I’m sure a few months later, your nerdy glasses will just be gathering dust when it is no longer the trend.

Feiyue
Don’t know how to pronounce it? Me neither. But I’ve read somewhere that it should be pronounced something like fay-yweh.

Anyway, the word Feiyue means “Flying Forward” and is originally a Chinese sneaker brand which was used for martial arts. In recent times however, a French businessman bought the brand and since then the shoes have become more of a fashion item though some of their shoes can still be used for martial arts. Take a look at some of their hot collections below.

Sperry Top-siders
Sperry is the founder and original inventor of boat shoes similar to the one you’ll see below. The company has a long history and they have been around for quite some time in other countries but not yet in the Philippines until now. Take a peek at some of their collections below.

One of the most notable things about Sperry Top-siders is their trademark barrel lace knot on their shoe laces which is not that easy to imitate but is something which must be learned by anyone who owns boat shoes.

Pretty cool and preppy huh?

____

If you are into Sperry Top-siders and Feiyue, you can find them in Shoe Salon stores. I think that Complex store in Eastwood has them too and a single pair costs around 3,500 Pesos on average.

So has anyone of you tried any of these brands? How is it like?
