I have always been fascinated by the differences between the sexes - what they wear, how they think and how they act. What also fascinates me is the way in which most men seem almost desperate to impress women and how the majority of them get it wrong. To be fair, it is no fault of their own but I feel most men like to have help and guidance from a woman and that is what I am here to do. From what to say on a first date, to what (not) to wear, I am here to offer my opinions. Not all men out there will agree but it is good to have another point of view - I think! My contributions will be posted here at the Mioblog every week, so read on and email me at natasha@miodestino.co.uk.

Brilliant Beachwear for you Boys!
It has been so long since we have sunny weather we thought that you might have forgotten how to dress in the summer sun, so try these tips in preparation for this weekend’s bank holiday and hopefully sunny weather!

Men – Now you can love shopping too!
Paul Smith’s Spring/Summer 2008 collection
Why is it that men loathe anything to do with shopping, whilst women consider it a relaxing hobby – a much needed chance to update their wardrobes?!
With this in mind, I have come up with some tips so that you men will leave us the hell alone…. I mean, that will help you out the next time you’re out shopping with your wife/girlfriend. Who knows you might even (god forbid) end up enjoying yourself!
1) Firstly, have a rough idea of what you are looking for so you don’t wander aimlessly searching for nothing in particular…read more

Hey Guys, Where have all you gentlemen gone?!
After several blogs advising you (almost) clueless men on what to wear and how to wear it, there is one thing which I thought many men of today could do with knowing so that they can aspire to become a better person (or it’ll make you more popular with the ladies and it’ll give me the chance to have a little rant!)
I have recently come across many men who may look good enough to eat but I get the feeling that they may not taste as good as they look. For those of you who are confused by now (and for you who are obviously thinking about something much different and much dirtier) I am of course referring to the behaviour of the modern male.
It seems to me that the modern roles of people today have changed, more women.. read more

Waistcoats for Men – Are they really the way forward?
The idea of men wearing waistcoats today seems rather non-existent – men do not tend to wear them unless they are attending a wedding or some sort of other similar formal occasion, or of course those unflattering, heavily patterned monstrosities that are often seen on BBC 2’s dull snooker players!
A male co-worker (and avid supporter of the waistcoat!) suggested I write about the topic which I did find slightly daunting but after his eagerness and assurance that they are ‘the way forward,’ I started to believe that maybe a man may know something about men’s fashion that I perhaps had not considered! After all, if men can wear a cardigan and make it look good, they should have no problems with… read more

Your Granddad’s Cardigan – The Next Big Thing (really)
The age old wardrobe staple, the cardigan has made a dramatic comeback!
The cardi has always been around it seems (usually moth eaten at the back of the wardrobe) and a few years ago, it underwent a bit of a makeover for the likes of us girlies. Just like the skinny jean look, this one has been stolen by you men…

Skinny Jeans for men – good for some but bad for most!
I have studied fashion almost all my life and have embraced the various trends, fads and phases the industry has thrown at us. With the recent trend for reviving past fashions, it was inevitable that there would be a resurgence of the …Read more

Take the time and dress your body type right
Men’s bodies are not so different from women’s, except that they have fewer bits! However, many are ridiculed for what they wear usually by women who know things … like larger bodies shouldn’t…Read more

Summery sandals for guys – girly?
Men’s feet are a thing of mystery. All year long they remain hidden in socks & slippers, shoes and trainers and when they do come out, what we see is a pale, pasty and hairy mess. As most women know, the key to healthy, sexy feet is to get them out in the sunshine. So come on men, unleash your feet and let them find those summer sandals they are dying to slip into!
Most men may be a bit wary of wearing summery sandals but with men’s sections of the top …

After recently seeing my partner as he waited for me at the train station, I noticed straightaway how extremely sexy he looked in his suit! It made me wonder, whatever happened to men wearing suits?
I don’t know what it is but the majority of women I have spoken to say a suit instantly uplifts a man’s sex appeal.
