Adding Some "Vamp" to Your Wardrobe

Waking up from a long nap to venture out at night to stalk your prey...the life of a vampire? Or your routine Friday night? You my friend may indeed have some things in common with the undead mythical creatures that have had the affection of your girlfriend since she joined forces with "Team Edward."

So in my effort to steer a bloke to elevate his life and get some much needed attention from the ladies, we are going to add a dash of vampire style to our way of dressing; clothing choices that may cause her to ask for a bite or two. Crack open a warm bottle of True Blood and pick up some of the key pieces Man About Town TV has chosen for you this season.

Certain black leather jackets can read too "Happy Days." The one pictured from the Rag & Bone runway is based on classic fencing jacket...fencing, a sport that can be practiced around your 18th century castle.

...Speaking of 18th century, vampires usually came from a lineage of aristocracy, note "Count" Dracula. Adding a classic signet ring engraved with a family crest or one that you made up, can make your look very old world or even better, old money.

Dracula was never seen out on the town without the proper cape. In this era, we could imagine the Count rocking a sleek dark windbreaker. With a stand up collar, your look becomes more dracool* that Dracula (*I'm drinking). The one below is RL's Black Label, yet I found mine at American Apparel.

A scarf will always make you appear more dashing, the seasonless silk evening skull scarf from the late Alexander McQueen will be a stellar addition to an evening suit or tucked under the calf-skin fencing jacket.

If you venture out after sun rise, sterling bat cuff-links can make your business suit less mundane, however certain clients may think you really are a blood sucker.
