This guy right here? He’s The Man. James H. Plummer, Jr., 27, sets the bar high. Besides his breathtakingly good looks, he’s incredibly dapper and also a business man – as a Project Managing Electrical Engineer. Along with those great features, it’s no doubt James is humble and respectful yet refreshingly confident. This gentleman needs no major introduction – his pictures speak for themselves.

Follow James on Twitter at @JHenryPlummer and learn more about his style, HERE:

1. Describe your personal style.

I would say my personal style is that of a contemporary, urban inspired classic gentleman. A modern day James Bond. Or the ultimate gentleman of our generation, Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick).

2. Who or who inspires your wardrobe selections?

Many things inspires one wardrobe. I’m many times inspired by all things aesthetically pleasing. I love Art. I find inspiration in all facets of art from paintings to music to interior design. If it’s ART. I’m inspired.

3. What are you favorite stores to shop?

Reiss and Ralph Lauren.

4. Do you wear cologne? What’s your favorite?

I’m a huge fan of “Fierce” by Abercrombie & Fitch. It just works soo well with my body chemistry. I’ve been wearing it for almost a decade.

5. What is your favorite article of clothing?

My favorite article of clothing would have to be accessories. I love accenting an outfit with a unique belt or a pocket square defining your tailoring. Or socks perfectly complimenting our trouser and show combination. It’s the little things that count most.

Clarence isn’t afraid to be bold in his wardrobe or in pursuing his dreams. He’s definitely someone to look out for.

Follow Clarence on Twitter at @clarencewilli15 and learn more about his style, HERE:

  1. Describe your personal style.

I would say that my personal style varies, but overall I define it to be clean cut, slim fitted, and colorful.  One day I may wear jeans, a button up, and a tie with some off-colored fresh Nike Dunks, or simply wear slim jeans with a casual cut v-neck shirt and some Vans, or really get smooth and wear a 3-piece suit with a mix colored print shirt and some slip on dress shoes. 

  1. What or who inspires your wardrobe selections?

My wardrobe is inspired by multiple print ads, other advertisements, and what I see on the streets. I don’t mimic a particular wardrobe, but I like to mix it up with my personal touch and what I creatively envision.

  1. What are your favorite stores to shop?  

Do I have time to list them all..hehe. I would have to say that I most frequently shop at Macy’s, Polo Outlet, Calvin Klein Outlet, Nordstrom Rack, H&M, Marshalls, Vans, and all sorts of multiple shoe stores.

  1. Do you wear cologne? What’s your favorite?

I don’t know what cologne I haven’t worn before. I have had so many, but I would say that I like L’Homme by Yves Saint Laurent the best.

  1. What is your favorite article of clothing?

Wow… let me see. I think my favorite article of clothing would be fresh slim fitted polo.

“Chins without beards deserve no honor.”
-Spanish Proverb

Facial Hair!!  It’s hot, sexy, alluring, attractive, sophisticated, masculine… need we go any further?!

We just LOVE it!

It’s been scientifically proven that men with facial hair have more success with the ladies. Facial hair can say a lot about a guy. It can speak volumes about his personal grooming, creativity, general style, health, diet, stature… it even says something about his self-confidence.

Now, for the brothas who are bare… don’t worry, we still love you. However, we’re just a tad bit (well, a lot) more fascinated with ‘staches and beards.

Here are a few of our fave styles:

Trimmed Goatee:

Full Beard:

Sexy Stubble/5 o’clock Shadow:

(We love this style so much we had to post 2 pics! Oww Oww!)

Winter Beard:

 And here are a few ‘just plain sexy’ photos of men we like with awesome facial hair…

2. What or who inspires your wardrobe selections?
Brad Pitt…… Brad freakin Pitt… In his movies or any kind of public appearance he’s never doing too much. Its just chill, cool, simple, neat…

Hollister
J Crew (outlet or sale/clearance items – they expensive lol)
