Stylish Gent
I like clothing, but most fashion blogs are either heavily weighted towards womens fashion, or focused on street fashion and sneakers, neither of which I enjoy wearing. I grabbed a couple of like-minded friends and started this site. The focus is on minimal editorial and buyable clothing rather than runway obsession and fashion forecasts - as I am not interested in being fashionable, just stylish; I'd like to think there are other men out there who a) like to shop online and b) have trouble finding good stuff in general or c) have no time for sifting through shops. Currently powered by tumblr to keep things quick and easy - interested to know if mefites have any suggestions for more sources for content or features to add in line with the aforementioned goals of practical fashion and slim editorial workload. I want to serve as a curator, not a critic.

This looks really cool, and many of the posts are both "in my taste range" AND stuff I didn't know about. I hope you keep it up -- I bookmarked it.

This is great stuff. One of the things I like about some of the more practical women's fashion sites is when they put together a look for a certain event or body type or workplace. For example, it'll be a choice of jacket/top/pants/shoes/accessory in the one post, intended to go together. I could see that working well for guys too, although I wouldn't want it to take over from the kind of content you've already got.
