"It&amp;amp;#8217;s safe to say that fashion and primping is best left to the ladies in most relationships. Even in the fashion industry (and within our lovely Glamour offices) women are known to overwhelmingly outnumber men. And, honestly, most of the time we really just want to give our guy a good makeover to match our taste. So, when I read an article in the NY Post about athletes (the New York Rangers to be exact) making real fashion statements when games are through, I started to wonder if any Smitten Kitten boyfriends were following suit. The New York Rangers are not only known for their hockey skills (and, umm, for being my biggest obsession) but also for their good looks and impeccable style. Now, with Madison Square Garden undergoing a makeover, the Rangers players are talking about how they&amp;amp;#8217;ve made over their looks, stepping up their style to match their nifty new arena and the City they&amp;amp;#8217;ve come to call home. From the Post article we learn that some of the hottest guys on the NYR, including Henrik Lundqvist (29 years old, superstar goalie), Brian Boyle (26 years old, 6&amp;amp;#8217;7&amp;amp;#8221; slice-of-Heaven center), Dan Girardi (27 years old, tall, dark, handsome defenseman), Brad Richards (31 years old, forward rumored to be dating Olivia Munn) and Brandon Prust (27 years old, bad boy left wing), wear top-notch designer duds. And when I say top-notch I mean pricey suits, ties, shoes, and even underwear by Gucci, Hermes, Ralph Lauren, DKNY, Hugo Boss, John Varvatos, Versace, and the list goes on. I mean, these guys aren&amp;amp;#8217;t schlepping around in sports gear after games (although, really, they&amp;amp;#8217;re just so handsome I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know that I&amp;amp;#8217;d complain about that&amp;amp;#133;). They&amp;amp;#8217;ve actually taken to grooming, wearing nice suits and tailoring to a T. Brian Boyle talks about how he learned to start tailoring his clothes when he moved from Massachusetts to NYC. Dan Girardi already has a Men&amp;amp;#8217;s Vogue photo shoot under his belt. And Brandon Prust has gained an appreciation for the finer things in life: &amp;amp;#8220;I have splurged on a couple of jackets that are probably over my price range but I just fell in love with them.&amp;amp;#8221; We always talk about looking nice and pretty for a guy&amp;amp;mdash;on a date, early on in your relationship, on your wedding day&amp;amp;mdash;but what about a guy looking good for us girls? If some of the biggest athletes around aren&amp;amp;#8217;t afraid to put some extra effort into their wardrobes, will our boyfriends feel encouraged to do the same? Sean Avery, another babe on the Rangers, is infamous for his sense of style. He was recently featured on Mr. Porter&amp;amp;#8217;s The Way I Dress wearing Lanvin, Bottega Veneta and even $80 boxer briefs. Eighty. Dollar. Drawers. Say what? (My underwear collection is pretty much limited to Victoria&amp;amp;#8217;s Secret and I might still have day of the week undies&amp;amp;#133;don&amp;#x27;t judge.) Oh yea, and he even interned at American Vogue one summer. Okay, so Avery takes his fashion obsession a bit farther than the other dudes but it&amp;amp;#8217;s become very clear: Guys are starting to really care about what they&amp;amp;#8217;re wearing! My boyfriend has a pretty great sense of style. He wears suits every day for work, is clean-shaven (although I wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t mind a bit of stubble&amp;amp;#133; Movember anyone?) and takes care of everything he owns (coughOCDcough). Maybe he&amp;amp;#8217;s not sporting designer labels (because, really, we can&amp;amp;#8217;t all be on NHL salaries!), but I&amp;amp;#8217;m pretty happy with my very own live-in stud. I mean&amp;amp;#133; J does have a habit of wearing Bill Cosby-esque argyle sweaters on the weekends so I definitely have I-need-to-makeover-my-boyfriend moments like everyone else. (*Note: Upon reading this J questioned, &amp;amp;#8220;Wait, whattt? What Cosby sweater??&amp;amp;#8221; Ha!) But, in all honesty, some mornings I&amp;amp;#8217;m the one asking him for advice on what I should wear (this earring or this earring?). It&amp;amp;#8217;s really pretty even in our relationship&amp;amp;mdash;there&amp;amp;#8217;s effort on both sides. If you&amp;amp;#8217;re annoyed with all of your primping and getting nothing in return, say, Let&amp;amp;#8217;s Go Rangers and Let&amp;amp;#8217;s Go Boyfriends&amp;amp;mdash;step up your style! Or, you can just start printing out pictures of the hottie New York Rangers and your guy should get the hint. What about you gals, who dresses better in your relationship? Does your guy pay extra attention to his duds like the New York Rangers? Or are you dying to give him a makeover? Oh, umm, and do you own any $80 underwear?!
