Did you know that statistics in 2025 show that
59% of the SL population is male? And then let's
not forget how many gentlemen enjoy experiencing
SL through the eyes of a female avatar.
So many men... Yet if you look at the stores out there,
it's like SL is made up of 90% women. Female clothes.
Female shoes. Female accessories. There's so much.
But for men? You really need to search for good stuff.
I'm glad LUXE Paris has a men's section.
Because just like the ladies, I feel men get 'forced' into
a specific type of clothes. While women have their butt
hanging out of their skirts 3 out of 4 times, I have seen
way too many pants that offer the.'visible garden hose'.
Elegance. It's what LUXE Paris preaches.
For women AND for men!
As I was brainstorming, I stood next to our large men's wear wall in the store
looking at the many creations we made over the years. And then I noticed the titles.
Did you ever notice how original and unique our designers make the names of our clothes?
So while I am going to drown you all in as many fabulous male creations as I can, I am using the
LUXE Paris inspiration to inspire me on what to type!
A QUICK LESSON IN JAPANESE
The first ensemble I wanted to figure out is not only one of our newest
designs, but also has a very funny title. What IS 'Kakkoii’ ?!
The answer is simple. It’s Japanese for 'cool’ !
Also, it is used as the male version of the popular female term 'kawaii’.
Girls are cute (kawaii) and guys are handsome (kakkoii).
A SUIT FIT FOR A GENTLEMAN
GENTLEMEN… THERE IS STILL HOPE
Luckily not EVERYTHING is made for women when it comes to fashion!
'GQ' is a real life men's fashion magazine with the latest trends and hottest items.
"Since 1957, GQ has inspired men to look sharper and live smarter
with its unparalleled coverage of style, culture, and beyond.
From award-winning writing and photography
to binge-ready videos to electric live events,
GQ meets millions of modern men where they live,
creating the moments that create conversations."
EVERY MAN NEEDS GOOD ACCESSORIES
TIMELESS DESIGN, TIMELESS LOVE STORY
One of the designs which has adorned our men's wall for a long time has a name
that is connected to the intense and beautiful love story of Dante Alighieri.
Dante met Beatrice Portinari only twice and could not stop thinking about her.
He travelled through the circles of hell all the way to paradise to find her again.
In reality, he wrote 31 poems to commemorate his one true muse, Beatrice.
DANTE’S ‘VITA NUOVA’
"My lady looks so gentle and so pure
When yielding salutation by the way,
That the tongue trembles and has nought to say,
And the eyes, which fain would see, may not endure.
And still, amid the praise she hears secure,
She walks with humbleness for her array;
Seeming a creature sent from Heaven to stay
On earth, and show a miracle made sure."
