Hello Bello

Hello Bello,

 I have decided, upon request...

to do a {menswear} feature every couple weeks.

Menswear is simple--all you need is...

[The Jacket]


[The Cardigan]


[The Sweater/Button Up]


[The Dark Denim]


[The Skinny Tie]


[The Henley]


[The T-Shirt]


[Charcoal Denim]


[The Blazer]


[The Vest]


[The Blazer/Jean Combo]


[The Plaid]


[The Boots]



[[The Spring Line Up]]

[Short sleeve button ups]



[Fitted Cuttoff Shorts]


Whether you are a gentlemen's Lady or you are the gentlemen reading this post...

[all you need to know is]

Menswear is simple, yet it walks a thin line.

[The Line]

Make sure that the denim is dark

Be aware of the shoe's purpose-- athletics or streetwear?

The best shirt fit is when the shoulder seem lines up with the shoulder

Baggie jeans are out, skinny/fitted jeans are in

[Need more lines?]

  1. Maybe this is a dumb question, but I was once told that mixing brown
    and black shades is a fox pass. Is that true or is it a good idea... or is it appropriate in certain situations? I've always been personally a fan of the mixing of the two. I also have been a fan of blue sweat pants so I don't trust myself...

  2. Well Mr. Trott, that is not a dumb question. I think in the last few years faux pas were tossed out almost completely. It's actually worse to match too much... I think you can almost always get away with mixing...the only rule I have found is that it may be most aesthetically pleasing when-- either one of the colors is a lighter shade...meaning if the color is dark brown, pair with a light black (aka charcoal gray) or if the color is light brown, pair with true black...This rule is also true with mixing black and navy. I hope this helps.

  3. Loooove this post. I've been thinking the same way lately - menswear is just so simple all you need is a few basics in a few neutrals...wear and repeat boys! And I'm having a major obsession with the henley as of recent...

    You are officially on my "favorites" on my work computer as one of my resources for trend research :)

  5. Oooh! Nice! Great tips Helena! I'm slowly easing my hubby into a new world of fashion, (he's a total jock when he isn't wearing his office clothes). Wish me luck:-) xoxo
