Oh you do? I have not read much of the men's magazines but it must be informative, too.

Ah! That's the way it is said in English? "eye candy"? Meaning feasting one's eyes? That's "me no hoyou (目の保養）" in Japanese. XD I can even learn English from your comments!

In Japan men's business suits are very boring. Black, gray, navy blue…that's it, almost. How nice you can enjoy so many color options at work!

Tune magazine is a little bit specific to fashionable young guys around Harajuku.

I think he is a famous movie star in Korea and very popular in Japan, too.

Oh, there are a LOT of magazines (which is why my little bookstore doesn't carry them), but I have yet to see a fashion magazine targeted towards American men. The men's magazines I've seen are more fitness and, well, pretty ladies. ^^; Ooh, wow! What kind of star is he? TV?

The guy on GQ looks well dressed. I like wearing a nice shirt with matching tie to work, although I usually take the vest off at work.
And in summer I don't often wear a tie. But.. just white and light blue shirts with a suit ? I like several colours and also dark blue (like on Uomo) and purple , yellow, red to go with a light colored vest. And you must always look well groomed! Clean shave, trimmed fingernails, proper haircut. Hmm . I'd never wear a sakura motif like the guy on Tune. It looks like he's in his underpants.
Actually ,I like the model on Smart magazine (heh!). I have a few T shirts like that.

Hmmm I wonder if we can find such thing because we usually don't use English daily.
Japan is a racially homogeneous nation, most of the things are available only in Japanese.
But then what about foreign people who want to learn Japanese fashion? Too small demand to profit?
I may check this out when I have some free time.

I thought American people have a lot more magazines because it's a country of diverse people. If I go to Kinokuniya or any big book store I can find foreign magazines (although very expensive because they are imported) and I may want to check out how they are. :p The model on GQ is a Korean star. <3
