Ffarff's Guide to Modern Couture for Men

There's a new world sensation. No, it's not a mock designer paint splattered shirt, no, it's not pink polo tops with a white tie, and no, it's not tucking your shirt into your pants.

It's the gun holster.

They aren't just for cops any more they are for fashion police as well. The line has been drawn, either you are a bad-ass or you're a bad-ass possibly concealing a gun. It brings a whole new meaning to "is that a gun in your holster or are you just pleased to see me?"

Another fashion must is a man purse, other wise known as a murse. They aren't just for old ladies any more… Sexier than a backpack, but not as stiff as a briefcase, the murse is essential for the man on the go.

The holster and murse combo completely wipes out any need for unattractive bum bags or those messenger bags made of shitty acrylic (with the mobile phone compartment! The style never stops!).

It's all in the leather, and it's got to be black. Don't just stop with a belt, who can resist a black leather strap? Accompany your holster and murse with a wrist strap -- it screams 'I can't leave my sexcapades at home'. Girls go crazy for it.

Murses are excellent carry-alls, suitable for anything from your fifth bottle of gin to your battered copy of FHM. However, it might be too bulky for everyday wear. This is where the holster comes in.

The holster is compact, but good for multitasking. If you're going out light you can slip your mobile in there, a small tube of lubricant and a condom and you're set for wild casual sex in the alley. It's a call and response team in itself .

Or for the casual day out, put your money clip, keys and mobile in. Once you're armed with a holster, no-one is ever going to steal anything from you again. And who's going to question a man that looks like an undercover cop? Didn't get your ticket for the tram? Sorted.

You want to mean business with the holster so a t-shirt will not cut it. It best to wear the holster over a dry-clean only shirt and a silk tie. If you wear the murse with this there is no need for a tie bar as the murse straps the tie in. You don't want your tie flailing about upsetting your controlled look.

It's all about the control: secretly women like a man who'll take control. And nothing says control like a man who looks like he's packing a gun.
