But what exactly does it\u00a0<em>mean<\/em>? It may conjure up certain images, but a practical definition isn\u2019t far behind. The term was first coined in 1994 by journalist Mark Simpson, who used it to describe the single man with a penchant for shopping and, in general, the \u201cgood life.\u201d Simpson made a correlation between the metrosexual of the 1980s, who was only found in the pages of fashion magazines, to the metrosexual of the \u201990s, who was suddenly just as likely to be found walking down the street.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/linksredirect.com\/?cid=166412&amp;source=linkkit&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cleartrip.com%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-385 size-full\" title=\"Cleartrip.com - Booing Flighs, Hotels, Packages,Trains &amp; Local activities is easy with us.\" src=\"https:\/\/mensquadrant.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CLEARTRIP-YEETI-MAY-728x90-1.jpg\" alt=\"Cleartrip.com - Booing Flighs, Hotels, Packages,Trains &amp; Local activities is easy with us.\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mensquadrant.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CLEARTRIP-YEETI-MAY-728x90-1.jpg 728w, https:\/\/mensquadrant.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CLEARTRIP-YEETI-MAY-728x90-1-120x15.jpg 120w, https:\/\/mensquadrant.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CLEARTRIP-YEETI-MAY-728x90-1-90x11.jpg 90w, https:\/\/mensquadrant.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CLEARTRIP-YEETI-MAY-728x90-1-320x40.jpg 320w, https:\/\/mensquadrant.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CLEARTRIP-YEETI-MAY-728x90-1-560x69.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"\">\n<div class=\"LtkBlockTop\">\n<p>It was not until 2002, though, that metrosexuality became recognized as a lifestyle when Simpson penned an article that introduced English soccer star David Beckham as a noteworthy metrosexual.

He might be a regular at the salon, indulging in everything from massages to manicures without a second thought. He\u2019s no stranger to big name designers, frequents a slew of boutiques and confesses a great appreciation for bettering himself in every possible way.

His affinity for all things fabulous and fashionable lends itself well to a wardrobe chock-full of designer labels.

Turtlenecks are also popular.<\/li>\n<li><strong>T-shirts<\/strong>: Don\u2019t go overboard; there\u2019s no room in the metrosexual\u2019s closet for a collection of tops that pay homage to your favorite tourist trap or sports team. The metrosexual subscribes to the theory that simple is best, and in this case black and white T-shirts are the best bet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Button-down shirts<\/strong>: Most males own several button-down shirts, but the metrosexual notes a great appreciation for the shirt\u2019s cut and fit.

Select one that is cut to flatter, preferably in a dark shade like black or charcoal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jeans<\/strong>: Jeans are usually no-brainers. Choose at least two pairs in two different cuts and washes, preferably something appropriate for lounging and another for going out. This way, they\u2019ll also mix and match well with everything from sweaters to blazers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Short Coat<\/strong>: No\u00a0trench coats\u00a0here, folks.
