Is anything wrong with this picture?

Pardon the mo, my dear friend Matt is sporting a bit of a growth on his lip in aid of Movember. He’s copped many a jab from friends and family about the ‘mexican-style fuzz’ and ‘dirty upper lip’ – but hey, it’s for charity!

Enough on the mo though, I want to talk about the fascinating fascinator atop his head. Yep – the gorgeous black and white number. Predominantly only seen on the Phillies at the racetrack, Matt has turned the tables on this once feminine-only trend and done so with such je ne sais quoi that I think we may just have a new trend on our hands.

Yep, the boy sure can wear the s&%# out of that fascinator, and it got me thinking, why don’t we see more guys sprucing up when it comes time to hit the track? Okay, maybe giant feathery fascinators aren’t going to take off right away – but guys, come on! The girls go to so much effort to look schmick on race day, the least you can do is shine your shoes and sport a sophisticated tie! Or what about a nice buttonhole to match your lady friend? Or some shiny cufflinks to add a bit of bling?

But if we can’t get you to do any of the above and can only get you to do one thing, it’d probably be to smell nice. That means a spritz of something manly that will make you feel suave (even sans the nice tie). We like John Varvatos Artisan Black, with its notes of wood, leather and musk – wear this and you’ll be sure to round up the Phillies come race day.

What do you think about men upping their game come race day?
