Shoebox Notes: man style

After watching the Bachelorette marathon yesterday, I've realized I can totally up my standards for guys. I mean, if Hottie McTrottie Ryan could actually marry someone who talks in a baby voice waaaayyy too much and who insisted on having their entire wedding be pink, then I can certainly score a bangin' dude. And for me, the first thing that catches my eye (after his unconventionally adorable good looks) is his style. Future boyfriends, take note.

Nothing hotter than a boy who can dress himself. I have quite the affinity for boys dress clothes, so much so that I would often rather dress like my grandpa than a princess. I love button downs, slacks, blazers, ties, dress shoes, fedoras and especially vests. The whole ensemble is stylish, classic, flattering, and completely hot!

I think I have a cute-boy-in-denim-jacket fetish. There's something so Springsteen, so '50s rebel about a denim jacket that makes me melt. To me it screams "I don't care that much about how I look so I threw on this old denim jacket, which makes me look totally hot anyways." The denim jacket-wearer is a laid back individual with a pulled-together hankering for grunge. And the beanie on this dude is only a plus!

Nothing like a perfect 5 o'clock shadow to make a girl's heart pitter-patter. Obviously Penn Badgley is one cute boy, but the scruff makes him uber fine. Sexy and reckless, what's better?

My obsession with redheads is somewhat new, but I have a feeling it will never go away. There's something so goofy, simple, original and modest about red haired boys that I can't help but love. And my desire for redheaded babies might have something to do with it...

Oh my god why are all men who wear plaid shirts babes??? It's this magical transformation that is made when a boy puts on plaid, and nowadays boys who wear plaid are considered pretty style-conscious. Plaid is outdoorsy, slouchy, easy, colorful yet simple, and completely adorable. And again, the beanie just adds to this boy's hottness!

I love glasses. As much as I appreciate my perfect vision, I can't help but yearn for a pair of my own. I just think in general glasses make people more attractive. Especially boys. Glasses make boys look smart, and what can I say, nerds turn me on. I particularly love it when a guy wears thick rimmed glasses, because they are so incredibly nerdy that they are cool. Girls DO make passes at boys in glasses...

I think all girls can agree that sporty guys are hot, especially those who can pull off a baseball hat. It's just so manly and sexy, and what girl doesn't love a man's man? Adam Brody extends his cuteness through his whole ensemble, from the preppy polo and jacket, to the Converse sneakers, which is my shoe of choice.
