OSTENTATIOUS!
It is not a word that many people use on a regular basis but I felt that it perfectly sums up 95% of blogs, fashion blogs in-particular. The definition of ostentatious is: marked by or fond of conspicuous or vainglorious and sometimes pretentious display. So by definition something that is ostentatious wants to stand out, is a vain or boastful display and more often than not is attempting to impress by affecting greater importance than is actually possessed.
I created this blog to showcase my day-to-day sartorial choices as well as to give the occasional fashion tip or word of advice. Too many men's fashion blogs waste time writing about their favorite songs, where they went to dinner, and showing pictures of girls. Many others feature outrageously priced clothes where even their "budget" outfits costs hundreds of dollars. Others still, tend to focus on frumpy, boring clothes in mainly black, blue and grey.
I hope to challenge your concepts of men's clothing, pushing the lines of color and design while still standing grounded in the tried and true principles. So yes, I think that Ostentatiousness, an excessive, unnecessary, or over-the-top display, is the perfect name for this blog!
