Fashion in Film - Oceans' 11,12,13...

Hey guys,

So I usually write about fashion centred around women but I hope there are men out there that have come across my blog and maybe read a few lines but haven't felt like I've aimed at post at you... until now. This post is about the gorgeous men in the Oceans' films and how to dress like them and ladies there may also be some tips if you want to dress the men in your life in a similar way.

I chose the Oceans' films as the men wear a wide range of clothes from the Casino smart suits, relaxed casual wear for planning meetings or the luxury cruise wear that comes with the teams multi-million dollar excursions. I love that each of the guys has their own style, be it the slick Clooney dark suit or the luxuriously casual Pitt attire. The movies also show off men of all ages; from fresh - faced Matt Damon to the more refined Carl Reiner, which again forms them into a unique trilogy that I would recommend to anyone.

So here are my top tips for dressing Oceans' style:

- Suits have to be matching and within a colour palette. It seems really simple but it is easy to get it wrong. The image at the top shows the guys matching in an ombré tone which with all 5 is slight overkill, but nonetheless shows how you can take a theme and wear it different ways.

- The next photo shows refined casino wear. Black and dark grey tones are excellent for sophistication yet the glasses with a coloured lense adds character; warning not suitable for all, take a good friend when picking eyewear as it is hard to tell what looks good on yourself. Eyewear is another way to carve out a unique style for yourself as each person looks good in their own shape/colour.

- Aviators. Yes please. Men if you can wear them and most of you can, please do, they are very attractive. If you are feeling adventurous then you can also rock the Ray-Ban style but the same rules for glasses apply, don't go buying them by yourself and get a colour that suits EVERYTHING you'll wear them with! (i.e. black or dark blue)  

- Finally, Trousers/Jeans. None of the men in Oceans' wear baggy trousers. Right now that's been said; trousers again must match the suit, but overly skinny jeans or trousers are intimidating as it can make you look vacuum packed. Try trousers on, sit in them and walk around in them! They have to look good in all positions!

So remember gents, look polished and dress for your age. I expect to see a remake of the oceans films with eleven equally attractive men and you could be one of them!

Lots of luv,
