WHAT TO WEAR? WHAT TO WEAR?


I've blogged it before, I like this look.
Shorts with leggings and a high-toped shoe

It works for me!

COME ON GUYS, YOU CAN WEAR THEM

Many designers are constantly trying to push the envelope. Men's wear has consistently been slimming down. Skinny is the new relaxed. So it was only a mater of time before someone thought leggings for men.
I've seen a lot of quarter leggings used to produce beautiful layering effects with shorts.

I like the balance of his shorts and high-tops; they mimic one another.
I think for the average guy the layered shorts look is a safer look.
It's easier to pull off for the everyday male.
It almost has a sporty feel to it.

For the riskier, more daring man there is the traditional legging.
The biggest problem constantly brought up is a worry about the male "package".
For anyone with that problem I suggest throwing on a oversized tee, this will keep your bits and pieces hidden.
I think with the right balance it can be pulled off.
take a look at Jonathan Heaf GQ's journalist.

He pulls off this look easily.
The key; CONFIDENCE.
So hoping for this trend to pick up.

Thoughts?

Punks gone styled

The hardest thing about writing a fashion blog is there is so much to fashion. It's hard to just report one thing when so much goes on.
That being said, Im sure anyone who is interested in fashion at all is aware that the "punk style" is an in look, as of late.
For those of you who don't know that means leather jackets, studs, and spikes are becoming popular items.
I've been making my daily rounds on the blogs iRead and have come across a lot of beautiful things.
Mostly the biggest hype in the blog fashion world is a brand called Givenchy.
I do believe everyone should take a look at the latest haute couture show,
but thats not the main thing I want to talk about.

Although beautiful and structured, a major trend seems to be super distressed denim and shredded tees (going back to the punk style).
All you really need to achieve this look is a old shirt (or new one), Something sharp to cut, and a needle (or anything pointed).
This is a great way to add a draping effect to a outfit. Plus it's easy, cheap and anyone can pull it off.
So I would suggest anyone who has a shirt they want to make more interesting to sherd it.
