NEWSMalan's Musings: Fashion Friday Is Here!
Aug. 20 2010, Published 7:50 a.m. ET
Every week at okmagazine.com, accomplished designer Malan Breton takes a look back at the week in fashion — the Do’s, the Dont’s and everything in between! Join Malan and OK! for Fashion Fridays!
Darlings, it's Friday! Every week we ponder the thoughts of stylists everywhere, dressing the most beautiful women in the world! Well, this week, it's all about the men!
The men are moving fashion in ways that women of long ago only dreamed. The sad and unpolished days of old are gone and we are seeing a sort of rat pack revival in style and Hollywood!
OK! GALLERY: JUDE & RDJ TAKE THEIR LEADING LADIES ON A LOVELY LONDON DATE!
One of Hollywood's most stylish men is Jude Law. His bad boy looks, his Saville row inspired suit — this look inspires men to look beyond the traditional box.
Robert Downey Jr. knows comfort and casual chic in this lounging ensemble perfect for a night at the cinema.
OK! GALLERY: YOUNG HOLLYWOOD SHINES BRIGHT AT BREAKTHROUGH AWARDS
The all American Trevor Donovan should not walk an awards carpet without a jacket! Though he looks handsome in his shirt and trouser ensemble. And, darlings, he wore a belt — kudos to him for that!
Where Dermott Mulroney, who looked stylish in a very corporate way, did not!
Pet peeve number one as a menswear designer! Always wear belts, socks and deodorant.
When discussing men's style one must remember, there are not as many options for men in clothing as women. Often you will see a man in a very smartly tailored suit then that same suit in a different color. A simple collar change and a tie makes that look fresh and lovely.

At the Lottery Ticket premiere in L.A. we see an array of styles from suit to sportif. From Sean Combs fraternity chic, to Bow Wow's polished retro '60s look.
OK! GALLERY: KANYE WEST TALKS BUSINESS ON THE STREETS OF NYC
The week in menswear would never be complete without Kanye West, one of the most stylish men in music, in the streets of New York in a very chic adaptation to the traditional men's blazer.
In five years I predict the men in Hollywood will out shine the women. Male glamor? Wait and see!
