Mike is one of those guys who always looks put together. I admire him for his efforts seeing how not a week goes by I don’t look disheveled and dirty. When I first met him I thought him and his girlfriend were probably the most attractive people in the world and turns out, they are the most fun too! I bother them endlessly about being their wedding photographer whenever they take that next step in their relationship, haha! Anyways, not only is Mike easy to photograph, he’s such a good friend and has some serious style, especially when it comes to dressing professionally. So here he is!
I work in sales and I’d be lying if I said first impressions were not very important. To be taken serious as a business professional, especially as a young pro, you have to appear put together and confident, which surprisingly, clothes can do for you.

I am lucky in my line of work as I deal with interior design firms on a daily basis. This allows me to add some flashier colors, like pink (or salmon for all you men who don’t wear pink) to my outfits. I can also get away with rocking a 5 o’clock shadow most of the time, but let’s be honest, I’m Italian and it appears by lunchtime anyway.
My advice, don’t be afraid to wear color! I recently read somewhere that women are attracted to the color red. It has to do with its ability to stand out and be noticed quickly. I personally like wearing the color purple. I try to add that into many of my daily outfits as an accent.

My personal style has much to do with fit and finish. One of my biggest guilty pleasures is having my clothes custom fitted to me. There are people out there that can just go shopping, pick up clothes and it fits, but to me (who happens to be between two sizes on everything) having it tailored just right is the only way to go. That way, your clothes fill out your frame perfectly without sagging or suffocating you.
Like any fashionable male out there, GQ is the bible in regards to everything. I also rely on my Uncle Jim for style tips who is a partner in a men’s clothing store, Adesso.

Nothing like a well dressed man!
I love color on men. The hubby wears a lot of yellow, pink and green. He has dark coloring, so these shades work really well on him. : )

I love his look. It reminds me of my boyfriend. He jokes about me doing a post on his fashion sense and now I may have to!
I like this post because it shows how straight men can have style too! Great photographs Andrea!
I like his zip up with the tie. Great look for the holidays! I may have to get my boyfriend to rock this look!

I think men look great when they add fun, unexpected colors to their wardrobe. When my husband wears his pink tie or Ceylon blue quicksilver shirt I want to jump his bones! haha.

Wow..he is amazingly fashionable! When I was studying in Italy, I loved seeing the men like this that put so much care and detail into their appearance. I like that he cares but doesn't take himself too seriously, with the prints and colors. Che bello!
