Perfect Trends 2015 – Men's Hair /
So your not quite sure if you are hipster or preppy? We have put together a short Trend Report of the modern hairstyles that keep you looking perfect in any climate.
This style defines the guy who likes balance and a little bit of flare. Something that can be worn with the most discerning sharp suit, but come the weekend when the ripped jeans and white v-neck is called upon it adapts.
Don’t be fooled by the softer look.. you still can be a ball buster … but commit to it. Classic parted high sheen/shine. Good clipper work on the bottom of the head leading up to a nice proportion of hair on top. This can be worn in all directions. Best styled when dry avoid the mobsterlook. Be it a polo or a cracking collar this haircut will get people taking you seriously. A touch of facial hair on this one could be the winner.. but don’t go overbeard….
Well the curls can get the girls.. you don’t need a guitar and a motor bike, the right amount of shape and balance you could pull off a larger curl all over, or try a classic cut on the underneath with a slight build up of weighted curls on top.. Product is key... layer layer, layer that product and style it like you don’t care... you might just pull it off.
Tight, short but not completely rude. High quality haircut not just with clippers, but to actually work with the shape of your head. Faded our lines and impeccable tapers. The slightest increase in length but still keeping a curved edge through the round of the head leading to the top. Dry finish, matt paste and waxes. Respect your look and keep this trimmed every 3-4 weeks.

Ports 1961 Fall Menswear 2015 /
This whole collection makes me feel like I went ice fishing in Norway with Andy Warhol, a Buckingham palace guard, and Ewan McGregor in Trainspotting - and I f*cking love it. So many different influences, yet the whole collection maintains its simplicity and hangs together gorgeously. I want every piece.

Fall 2015 Menswear Style Report /
This menswear season had everything you could have hoped for—lots of chic and funky outerwear, beautiful women on the runway, and a full-frontal show from Rick Owens. Fall always brings with it new approaches to layering, texture, and color, and this season was no different. Trends we took particular note of include a revival of early 1970s colors and textures, structural tweeds, ultra-tactile fabrics that bring the elegance, and stylishly Scandinavian outerwear. Here are a few of The Perfect Man's favorite looks from the runway.
