Metrosexual

© Jean-Baptiste Mondino

The metrosexual is generally a city-dwelling, too-cool-for-school type - think modern dandy meets a man in touch with his feminine side. Sophisticated and careful about his appearance, the metrosexual isn't homosexual - he's just in touch with his femininity à la David Beckham.

Refined and proud of his appearance, he probably knows his skin type (unlike many members of the opposite sex), likes to pamper himself, is an expert shaver, uses lots of facial products and maybe even a bit of make-up! 

He's very sexy and likes his John Richmond, Gucci and D&G.

Well-known metrosexuals: David Beckham (incidentally, he's just launched his own fragrance, Instinct); Gavin Henson.
