If you’re prepared to splash out £1,275 on a designer mobile you could get yourself a Porsche P’9981. Based on the innards of a BlackBerry Bold 9900, the Porsche features a redesigned case and is sold exclusively by Harrods.

Crafted from stainless steel and wrapped in a leather backing the Porsche looks fantastic but the device’s specs do not live up to its design. Compare the single-core, 1.2GHz processor within to the massive 1.5GHz quad-core in the brand new HTC One X and you’ll get an impression of how far behind the Porsche lags in the race. A SIM-free version of the One X can be yours for under £500, around a third of the Porsche’s price tag.

One of the most popular designer mobile phones of late is the Hugo Boss Galaxy Ace, a branded version of Samsung’s compact, budget device which can still be picked-up for around £200. We tested Samsung’s non-branded version of the Galaxy Ace last year and found it to be a reliable device with an 800MHz processor and the Froyo version of Android.

However, for around the same price you could now get yourself an HTC One V which has a 1GHz processor, a 3.7-inch touchscreen and the very latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich.

Some designer/mobile tie-ins involve more than just slapping a logo on the handset’s outer shell, such as LG’s long-running collaboration with Prada which has seen a whole user interface being overhauled. The latest offering from this collaboration has redesigned homescreens and icons that take on a minimalist style which looks fantastic. A SIM free version will cost around £400 and the phone as a whole is a decent device.

When top designers get their hands on mobile phones the results can be brilliant. As expensive as the Porsche P’9981 is it looks great and puts a really distinctive edge on the traditional BlackBerry layout and the latest LG Prada’s user interface has a truly original, sophisticated appearance.

So it’s unfortunate that the latest phones don’t always come in limited-edition designer versions as when top designers get their hands on these devices they can come up with some great looking handsets.

However I am not going to ask you to “suit up!” but instead mention about a polo shirt spotted on Marshall in a season 6 episode (Last words) which is by the New Zealand brand Canterbury. Unfortunately we do not have that exact polo available, and a close green rugby polo top has sold out, but we do have many other Canterbury polo shirts and tops available on the Stand Out website.

Now it’s crazy to think today my wardrobe is filled with about 4 different shades of red chinos and every week I go out more and more guys seem to be wearing them, now if I kept the bright red chinos I would be wearing them every week! Chinos in a variety of colours seems to be the “in thing” at the moment and I would be surprised if you didn’t own at least a classic sand colour, like the chinos by Bellfield (they go with pretty much everything)!

The moral of the story is to keep hold of your clothes for as long as possible as fashion is always changing and you never know when that shirt or pair of jeans you haven’t worn for ages will be the next best thing! I even just got a new pair of red Vans, although they are a lot better than my painted plimsolls!

Now the main reason I wrote this article was because about a quarter the way through the film I spotted Schmidt (Jonah Hill) wearing a blue polo shirt that looked awfully like the one from Scotch & Soda. I haven’t found a good enough quality pic to compare the two but pretty certain it is the exact same blue one except it has a yellow stitched logo. Of course this wouldn’t be the only reason to purchase that particular polo shirt, I am sure many of you may not want to look like Jonah Hill but the brand from Amsterdam makes some high quality clothing and you won’t be disappointed with the latest SS12 range.

You can buy both the Scotch & Soda Blue Polo and Scotch & Soda Red Polo online from Stand-Out.net now, currently priced at £39.

The latest trend which seems to be coming through for Summer (Yes we will have one eventually!) is printed t-shirts and jumpers featuring provocative prints. The Religion tees are especially risqué, see if you can spot the one with cream dripping from a ladies breast, however this will of course be a great hit when you are in a bar on the strip of Ibiza! I especially like the Lego re-enactment of a certain sex act or two very attractive young ladies sharing an ice cream.

Every brand seems to be getting involved, from the premium label Eleven Paris to the cheaper high street brand CrossHatch and I think we can expect to see more and more brands adding these styles as the months go on. As I type I have been told we have more t-shirts to be added later next week! If you are not brand orientated then your best bet is to visit the complete sexy printed t-shirt range we have setup on the site especially for this trend.

A man with a set of Polo Ralph Lauren Underwear in his closet definitely knows what good underwear is made of. For instance, the standard Ralph Lauren trunks are made of 95% cotton and 5% elastane. Its important for men to choose the right kind of fabric for their underwear. Low-quality fabric can trigger itchiness and skin infections, especially in the sensitive parts of the body. Cotton hardly triggers skin allergies and allows the skin to breathe. Meanwhile, the elastane in the underwear helps the underwear retain it shape even after numerous washings. This is what makes Ralph Lauren Underwear for men worth every penny. What you buy from the line will surely last a long time, whether they are Polo Ralph Lauren boxers, Polo Ralph Lauren briefs, socks, and even undershirts.

If you have a set of underwear that has seen better days, it is strongly suggested that you throw it away already. It does not matter the boxers or briefs have a sentimental value. The moment you see a hole, snag, or loosening of garters, throw it away and head to the store to buy yourself a new set of underwear. When you’re shopping for Polo Ralph Lauren Underwear, you should purchase at least 10 pairs of underwear. That way, each pair does not fade or get worn-out quickly. It is typical for men to keep their underwear colour the same but theres no harm in maintaining a multi-coloured underwear stash as well. Ralph Lauren Underwear comes in muted and richly vibrant colors. Their packs of three usually come in complementing colors. There are also some packs that come in the same color.

It is important for the pouch of the underwear to be reinforced well. Support is huge factor in determining the quality of the underwear. Lack of support will simply render the underwear useless. Polo Ralph Lauren Underwear has undisputable good crotch support, which is advantageous for men who lead very active lifestyles.

Ralph Lauren underwear comes in different sizes so there should be no reason for picking a size too small. It will stretch the underwear badly, leading to early damage. Neither should a man pick a size too large, because it will not offer desired support.

Remember that all the factors mentioned above are important in picking underwear for men. The wrong set is not only uncomfortable to wear; it is also pretty embarrassing for a man to be seen by his lady love in ill-fitted, worn-out underwear.

Men can choose from many different styles of Converse trainers. Aside from the design and color, Converse trainers also come in three different cuts. The low cut model is a perennial favorite because of its laid-back vibe. Low cuts, or Converse low tops shoes, are the safe choice for most people. Many men love low top Converse shoes because of its sleek design. The lines are clean, making them easier to fit with different kinds of outfits. Also, it looks more formal than the high top and the mid cut models. Low cuts can blend in with more dressy and subtle outfits with ease. On the other hand, the daring ones are drawn to the high cut tops Converse footwear. This clearly edgy model is an eye-catching piece to anyone who wears it with confidence. As a matter of fact, the high cut Converse shoes are already a fashion statement on their own.  The high cut tops add a vibrant touch to casual day time outfits but with the right color, it can also be used in dressier events at night. Mid cut trainers are a good compromise between low cuts and high cuts. They are more adventurous-looking than low cuts but more subdued than high cuts.

Many men use Converse for athletic purposes, more than anything else. With this in mind, they should choose the right cut according to their needs. High cut shoes are popular among many athletes because they offer utmost support, particularly on the ankles. This is really important, especially during intense training. Mid cut shoes are preferred by players who feel restricted with the coverage of the high cut tops. They offer less support but are advantageous when it comes to speed. Low cut trainers are the most lightweight, which is good for mobility. However, it also offers the least support for the ankles.

However, if the Converse trainers are to be used for casual and daily wear, the cut of the trainers is all a matter of preference. Many men like the simple lines and comfort of low cut trainers. But the appeal of high cut sneakers is irresistible as well. Men who want the best of both worlds can pick hi double tongue trainers. This way, the high cut sneakers can be converted into low cut or mid cut sneakers. Converse shoes are one of the most flexible athletic shoes that men can keep in their closets. They have a very utilitarian purpose but theyre effortlessly stylish as well.
