Top 10 Most Fashionable Gentlemen in Enderun Colleges.

Before I begin, I would like to apologize, on the expense of Russovoir, that this article is not about a movie. This is in celebration for the 1,300th visitor of his blog, CESTLAMOVIE, first seen up and running 10th of June 2012, exactly four (4) months old now. This cornucopia of the best movies Russovoir has seen is nothing but a portal of happiness, putting into words what has been pulsing madly in his head every after a great movie experience. While Russovoir is all about the aesthetics and magic of cinema, I, Russo, is about and inspiration-dependent of people, which doesn't really string far from cinema. I am pulsing with theories, ideals, and thoughts that shape who I am and hopefully what I want to become.  

Looking good is sort of a hobby of mine. It's, say, "passion", but far from making a career out of it. I find joy in dressing up like personality finally can be seen. With that, there is a contained, almost elusive smile for men who, somehow, from penny loafers to a dress shirt one wears, I see myself. It's pulsing in my head, so for good riddance, allow me to recognize the men that are consistent with their individual style and why they have been getting away with it.

10. Allen Dela Pena - The Weight Advantage

    Runner-Up: Miguel Del Rosario 

Jennifer Lopez once said, "I want the clothes to fit me, not the other way around." in Monster-in-Law (2005). One's worth is a crucial factor that provides an answer whether your clothes has to fit you or you fit them. Lopez just has the plumpest ass. It's an asset, so we understand what she's trying to say. Weight, on the other hand, is personal and conditional. Simply put, no one forces you to lose weight. What pleasing you put on yourself is the best proof that you love yourself.

9. Gyeong Hee Min (Kevin) - The Imported

Runner-Up: Jericho Tanangco

In this mass-produced, avant-garde-deprived, easily bemused locale we call nowadays, the bold is beautiful. From the pair of oxfords bought online, to the limited stock, and the one of a kind pieces that seem to always get lost in time and space (e.g. Supras, leather jackets), the foreign and the classic strike us by surprise. But trust me, for what the work and worth expended, it serves about right. Much less of attention-seeking than of attention-grabbing. There's a difference.

8. Luigi Santos - Bask in Build

Runner-Up: Matthew Regalado

The clean look for gentlemen never fails. Quite fortunate for one's genetics as there is ease and kind of, implied tendency to look good because you feel good. The universal truth is this. A man will only know how to dress himself if he is aware of what it will do in his favor. Interlacing somewhere in a man's DNA is a genetic instruction that states, "I am good-looking, I'd be fine with a plain Fred Perry."

7. Miguel Sermonia - The Breadth Winner

Runner-Up: Enrique Yabut

The distinctive quality is their framework: taller, broader shoulders, lithe to a lean physique. They're like mannequins: pieces fitting snugly, however simple and ordinary, it falls into the right places. Their height is such an asset that standing out is pretty much mandatory. And if that wasn't unfair enough, the Lord God gave them a critical eye for color coordination and impressive style. Criminal.  

6. Daniel Roleda - The Weight Disadvantage

Runner-Up: Sherwin Gope

Remember, the more you expand, the choices for clothes shrinks. No one likes to wear something that doesn't flatter them. It beats the purpose of being seen in them in public. If weight is the problem that prevents you to have what you think you deserve and long to wear from the best selection of clothes, you are your solution.
  
5. James McDermott - LV: Loud and Valiant

 Runner-Up: Dan Samson

I start to nod in pleasuring approval for men who are secure enough for spring colors, of the fedoras, blazers, and oxfords. A statement is louder on gentlemen. Make no mistake, it's noise for the eyes if not mindful. A stylish gentleman always go for the discreet but daring. The likes of McDermott are the unsung handful that are able to define it, and sport it (results may vary).

4. Dan Kaw - The Snob

Runner-Up: Jul Morado

Do you ever stop and really read the terms and conditions of anything? We don't, really. Well, certain gentlemen can snob the terms and conditions of style, and still look good. They seem not to invest money on the "good shit" for clothes, but they always seem to dress just fine. They seem not to care for themselves at all, yet they seem content. One would think they must be wearing much more than commercial fabric, much thicker than wool; they are wearing cool.

3. Ron Hortaleza -  The FAUX-fessional

Runner-Up: Carlos Medalla, Alumni

Clothes can deceive people. I'm sure any man of Enderun had been asked where they work, when in fact they are still a college student. We get respect from our fauxfessional look. A gentleman can pull this off because he walks the talk, poised and measured in manner. He has Jaeger LeCoultre to withstand the test of time, and with his uncompromising values intact and determined dreams written on brittle stone, he reflects his choices of style: of and for the blue-blooded.

2. JM Pabiton - The Pro-CASH-ional

Cash is king; Cash can dress you like a king. Affluent men and style often go find themselves in the same page as debit and credit on a balance sheet. There is nothing more admirable and frankly more masculine than a man paying for his things. Blood, sweat, tears, and sleep were risked just to sustain a family, support a child, a sibling, a lover/wife, or simply strengthening one's arm and leg because a Prada briefcase echoes hard work. Simply put, a cashmere sweater is for the gentleman who is his own bread and butter.

1. Jack Tuason - The POWER-fessional

"Sir Jack, are you wearing Fred Perry?", to which he replies, "No I don't think so. Converse." The next day I bought a Converse shirt. POWER is INFLUENCE, and influence creates a ripple in society as pervasive as a loose thread on a shirt pulled rashly. Round-framed glasses are attributed to John Lennon as evidently as Steve Jobs for black turtlenecks. Locally Enderun, he was a second g-lance for his flamboyant bow ties. Guess who? Character is embedded, embossed, emanating from the clothes - accessories, of a reputable gentleman.

The true august gentlemen dress with the careful and selective stitching of honor and glory into almost everything they put on. This is why some notable men dress effortlessly that attests one of life's greatest paradoxes: it takes so much effort to be effortless.

Egos will be stroked; suspicions will arise, but despite that, let this be a challenge to every gentleman listed here to continue putting color into your wardrobe, the symphony of trendy and the classic, the wedlock of metrosexual and heterosexual, and still able to go home and provide and make love to your woman. Had women were an accessory, they've gotten a limited edition. It is truly comforting to know that there are men who still know, and are not ashamed, what a corsage is.
