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?]

Maybe this is a dumb question, but I was once told that mixing brown
ReplyDeleteand 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...
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.
ReplyDeleteLoooove 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...
ReplyDeleteYou are officially on my "favorites" on my work computer as one of my resources for trend research :)
Thanks Hill! I feel honored... One fashionista to another :] Please let me know if there is ever any special fashion interests you would like me to blog about!
ReplyDeleteOooh! 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
