One half of the one of the hottest couples on the scene tells Details magazine 10 things a guy must know if he’s looking for his own Posh Spice:
1. Style isn’t about money. One of the nicest outfits on a man is a pair of jeans, some old, messed-up boots, a simple white tee, and a vintage leather belt. You don’t have to spend a lot. It’s about mixing and matching and getting things that fit properly.
2. Men who wear skinny jeans won’t be wearing my jeans. I don’t think jeans should be tight around their bollocks. I don’t want to see that part of a guy’s anatomy all squashed in.
3. What to wear on a first date is a tricky one. You don’t want to be too dressed up or not dressed up enough. It totally depends where you’re going. Wear something you’re comfortable in, because you’re going to be slightly nervous.
4. I don’t mind a vintage T-shirt with a logo on it that’s tongue-in-cheek. But if a man were to just have a huge logo on his chest, no. I think that’s very unattractive.
5. It’s romantic when a guy makes an effort. For our anniversary recently, David had all these beautiful flowers placed in our garden and he had someone come in and cook and he had nice music playing. We put the kids to bed and then we spent the night together, just talking in front of the fire.

6. Boys don’t have nearly as much fun with fashion as girls do.
7. I think a man always has to look clean, to start. And obviously he has to smell nice. Grooming is really important.
8. You have to be very careful when you start dyeing your hair. I can’t bear it when men start to lose their hair color and they give it a rinse—blue, black, purple.
9. I really don’t like it when guys wear tight tops—like those cycling-looking, Lance Armstrong-inspired ones—trying to show off muscles and the fact that they’ve been at the gym a lot.
10. It’s cool for a woman to look like she cares, but I don’t think it’s as cool for a man to look like he’s spent hours in front of the mirror. A man that doesn’t try too hard to look good is sexy.

#2 and #7 are dead on. I HATE dirty looking people in general.
She’s on point with most of what she said. However, sometimes men do have to spend a lot for the right fit and quality clothes. But being that she’s filthy rich I’m sure we have very different measures of what is and isn’t a lot of money.
These are some good tips!!!!
Not sure why I’m a bit intrigued by these gentleman’s pointers a la Posh freakin’ Spice… but I think she’s on to something here… decent analysis if I do say so myself.
Many of these tips…if not all, I can agree with.
I beg of designers to truly end this skinny jeans phase for men. Personal preference of course on my end, but the moment your jeans appear as spandex and you’re a heterosexual male…you’re crossing the line with appearing in “fitted” attire. There’s a clear distinction between not wanting to wear baggy clothing and wearing jeans comparable to that of your girlfriend’s size. If you’re not a rocker, homosexual or cowboy…I think you truly need to leave skinny jeans for women. Once again, my personal preference
dosj. DEATH OF SKINNY JEANS!!! (for men)
imma keep this in mind
Doesn’t her husband look like he spend a billion hours in front of the mirror? Victoria, get the fuck outta here.
