We don't have snow here in the Philippines, but @MILANOS Shoes sets up the spirit of the cold holiday season with its aspirational ad campaign that takes us all to a great winter outdoor experience - and we can all just gasp in wishful thinking.
Actor/TV personality/endorser @SAM MILBY is a having cool dude moment - quite literally - sans celebrity-style elegant accents and those refined gentleman pieces in this pictorial that we are proud to say, looks intentionally international. He dabbles up for a more masculine-hunter look with layered knits, jackets or a gilet, rough pants along with his choice of rugged shoes (by MILANOS, of course) that take him to an adventurous weekend. Get cue from these latest footwear styles and rev up for the ultimate, adventure-packed holiday getaway: BOOT CAMP A staple this F/W 2013, tough-looking mid-cut boots (in black, brown, gray or camel) are all the rave whether out on the streets or during travel.
THE HUNTER GAMES Your adventure awaits, and your choice of footwear is up to you: do you prefer lace-ups with wedge or tractor soles, or wingtips with contrasting midsoles?
SNEAK STREAK This season's new breed of sneakers are more casual and streamlined than showy.
COZY COOL Modern boat shoes and loafers are great for a laid-back but stylish weekend.

With hipsters currently seen around the world trifling the 90's punk rock vibe onto their wardrobe, there's no mistaking that grunge is back with a vengeance. Joining the bandwagon is @SM MEN'S FASHION - the retail giant ditches the sartorial style (for the meantime) this F/W 2013 season by bringing those retro iconic looks back into the 21st century. Think street art, impossibly long nightclub stints and endless booze, the latest collection for Boys Teens allows young individuals to get in touch with their inner punk rock star. Combining both acid and street styles with influences that trace back from a decade of rock bands and indie music, get the look from SM Men's rendition of the modern-day grunge cool: a) Start with slim-fit or skinny or straight-cut pants, the decision is yours depending on your body type. You may opt for something blue, maybe washed, distressed, or even ripped. Check out in-house brand TANK for a wide selection of denim pants. b) Don rugged shirts with rock star-inspired prints. In SM Men's version, skull tops, anatomical shirts and even Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man lend an artsy but bad boy feel. Check out the collection by TEE CULTURE. c) The checkered/plaid shirt is what makes grunge appear so cool. Wear it on or sling a flannel shirt around the waist for a devil-may-care attitude. Check out MARKUS for different plaid variations. d) Layer on with a jean jacket, a chambray top or a denim vest for added rough edge. Check out TANK for enviable collection of jean tops and jackets. e) Finish with tough-looking boots and cool spiked or leatherette accessories. Take cue from the latest SM Style Manual Vol. 15 and get ready to grunge n' roll:

Definitely, the sporty trend is the biggest fashion thing now, and many stylish souls are updating their wardrobes with chic sporty hybrids that look casual, cool, and very modern... By drawing inspirations from gymnastics, football and baseball, @SM Men's Fashion stretches its way onto the season's obsession with the sporting life by fusing the aforementioned style elements with slim-fitting formal getups. With simple graphic lines, monochromatic colors (of black, white and gray) and streamlined proportions, the Sweater Boy Collection fits minimalist style and athleticism in one neat package. As the name suggests, this collection revolves around sweater tops or hooded sweats with numeric patches (for that athletic finish). Get reference from our pictorial's styling (see photos from SM Style Manual Vol. 15 below) and score high in everybody's style card by layering with long-sleeved polo tops (with collar peeping out of the sweater), or even blazers, combined with flat-front trousers to create a streamlined sporty-dash-formal look. Finish off with a visor or cap (optional) for additional sporty feel, a pair of black or white lace-ups, but loose the sweat bands & gold foil instead (they were intentionally used to make the shoot look editorial).
