The Vote: Best Men's Style Blog

The time has come people. The rules are simple. Pick your top 3 men's style blogs. You can vote as many times as you like. Vote for yourself if you're bringing it the hardest. Real names, fake names, anonymity, whatevs. I don't care. The only site you can't vote for is this one. We already know it's the best... Psych... 

But for real I'll be counting and posting the results on Tuesday. And if you don't see your favorite site's logo above that's no reason not to vote for it. Bless us with the heat. You know you're just as curious as I am, so hit me with your top three below in the comments section...

The rest of my favourites (JJJJound, Selby, Secret Forts) cover topics other than men's fashion, more regularly then the ones above. I choose these three because they are focused and on-topic for this competition.

Secret Forts
ACL
All Plaid Out

Also, slightly out of genre, but I have to put it up- A Restless Transplant.
Somehow, I discovered all these blogs through that one- I think I was searching for what I now know are the Persol 0714's and A Restless Transplant came up. His blog links to a lot of the above and I stumbled across a whole world I had no idea even existed- Men's fashion that doesn't suck or come from designers that are either in the douchebag section of Macy's or on runways (a world I know nothing about). I grew up wearing L.L. Bean everything and never stopped wearing flannels or oxfords. It's been so great to discover the above set of blogs that are fashionable and masculine- not metro. (Is that whole thing over yet? Fuck those pointy shoes and that hair gel, you know what I'm saying?! I honestly had no idea there were other guys out there who might be googling "the sunglasses Steve McQueen wore in Thomas Crown Affair".

To all you blog proprietors out there, keep the inspiration coming.

6. JJJJound (best visual content)
7. 1,001 Rules for my unborn son

8. Selectism (pain to navigate)

I visit yours most often, but I took your request seriously not to include it in the rankings. I also visit Inventory every day (more often than Ivy Style and Secret Forts) because Inventory updates so regularly and does such a good job, but I couldn't quite fit it into my "top three."

Though, really, I don't think of Valet as a blog, but they're killing it lately. So they should get the top spot.

Besides even being mentioned in this category, what I'm most excited to see here is that most, if not all of these top picks are us individuals or "little guys"...

Not GQ, not the big conglomerate companies,...us. The people that are passionate about the industry and trying to get our ideas out and let our different styles shine through. Oh, and the people that buy this stuff. (*hint, hint brands)

Major props to everyone doing their own thing and trying to make amazing products, great reads, and even cultivating images.

Congrats to you guys...
