Best Menswear Moments of 2011

Yves Klein blue, Naples blue, blogger blue—call it what you want, but it was the color of menswear's summer.

Hong Kong has always been the spot to cop super-cheap bespoke, but in a short period of time, a handful of designers have changed the game.

Ryan Gosling becomes a style icon, everything Gosling puts on this year went triple platinum.

The Internet, as it has for sports, television, and everything, has democratized the world of men's clothing. Guys are as obsessed with the way they look as they ever have been. And men's style has never been bigger in the public consciousness than in 2011. 

A Internet, bem como o desporto, a televisão, e tudo mais, democratizaram o mundo da roupa masculina. Os homens estão tão obcecados com a sua aparência como nunca, e o estilo masculino nunca esteve tão em alta na consciência pública como em 2011.
