Karl Lagerfeld made a prediction years ago that men would be the new women. What he meant by that, in part, is that they, too, will be as worried as women about their looks. Metrosexuality is mainstream now, what with men manscaping, flat ironing, and guy-lining their way into the looks-obsessed world we women have inhabited forever.

As I’m sure you all know, metrosexual is the term used to describe a heterosexual male who has great taste in both lifestyle and attire and gives his appearance more attention than the average guy. I’ll admit it: It freaks me out if a guy is more concerned with his looks than I am with mine. I know it’s old-fashioned and a big double standard, but I really like low-maintenance men — clean and put together, but low maintenance!

Chuck Darrow, a highly hairy reporter, decided that it was time to remove his man-fur. And so he went to a Philadelphia spa for a torso wax.

On your honeymoon, you realize that you've spent oodles of this time and money grooming your goods, your brows and your legs so that they are free of unwanted hairs, but you're guy is more hairy than a chimpanzee! Whilst a little bit of hair on his chest can be sexy, his back, underarms, unruly eyebrows and wild hair down there, can be unsettling. Of course there's always the exception, perhaps your guy is more metro-sexual or just likes to keep things tidy, but for most women, trying to groom your groom can be a hairy situation.

No way! Sorry, that's a girls' club only.
As long as it's subtle - but I still have to have better brows!

If your dear old dad won't be happy with socks and handkerchiefs this Christmas, then it's time to spoil him rotten. Men so often get unimaginative beauty gifts, but I think Christmas is a great excuse to treat your daddy dearest to some luxurious pampering. I'm particularly enamoured with Prada's fresh masculine scent (£47) which my father would wear with his cashmere jumpers —just don't call him metrosexual!

It appears that any stigma regarding men using beauty products has completely disappeared in these post-metrosexual times. After the manscara craze this summer and the recent news that men are as botox-obsessed as women, it's no surprise that this winter British men are in for a beauty treat, all of their own. Selfridges launches Gentlemen's Tonic today; a men only salon with a focus on spa-style treatments and grooming.
