OUT AND ABOUT

Ok so I went out  and about on blue. I really love the colour blue, different shades and everything blue. It inspired the named for this blog and I do not think I am changing favourite colour anytime soon.
 For this post I wore a blue pair of Absecai jeans which I have had for some time now, I love the fitting and fade in the jeans. I paired this up with a grey Perry ELLIS AMERICA t-shirt. The boots are  by TIMBERLAND.
 I put a  MAZZARO jacket over my should to put a little seriousness to the outfit. The little details on this jacket makes me cherish it a little bit more

MY TOP FOUR MALE FASHION TRENDS

Trends come and go but right now  I am loving these trends. I have compiled a list of the latest trends and how to style them. It is indeed important to be aware of trends so that we can  stay dapper. They are arranged according to my preference.

• 4-DENIM ON DENIM: The combination is perfect if it is properly styled. In order to get this right you will have to play with the shades of the denim. Use contrasting shades and also play with the textures like using a lighter washed denim shirt over a darker denim trouser.

 

3-SHORTS: Shorts are huge this year and they are a great way to show those legs that are always hidden. They are very casual though some celebrities have made it a lot more formal(not a fan yet).Colourful shorts are very flattering and some come in very amazing prints. Try styling your shorts with  jackets.

2-BAGS: Bags  have evolved to change the appearance of men. There are ways bags can be incorporated into our outfits to make them all  better. Lately bags with brighter colours are breaking the grounds. When using bags  with brighter colours make sure to tone down on your outfit.

1-ACCESSORIES : Men usually played it safe by using only wrist watches but that has changed. Rings and bracelets are some pieces that can fleer your appearance. Remember not to over do. Sunglass do not only protect your eyes but also add a spark to your dressing. Choose the shape and size that flatters the size and shape of your face. Belts are also very handy and don't be afraid to try various colours and sizes.

NORMS OR YOUR STYLE

Never wanted to write this post but just had to. I wore this to church today(not trying to be religious though) and I felt like sharing because someone told me it was bad dressing. I wore this Paul Smith suit with a blue waist coat without a tie, now that is the point. I was scolded because I had no tie on and I buttoned till the top. I had my self esteem lowered to some extent but I picked it back on and thought that no one has that right to judge you and I on how we decide to style up our clothes.

The pair of shoes I wore for this post are one of my favourites because of the shiny nature and the shape. I get a lot of compliments for them and I am sure I will have them for a long time and you will certainly see them often.

So tell me should I wear a tie the next time I am wearing a suit? so you know, the event was not so formal

WRIST YOUR WATCH

 

They may be big, bold, simple, classic, expensive or sophisticated and we love it. I am talking about watches.

A watch is one of the best accessories you can add to your wardrobe as a man. It is the ultimate style element.

They are several types of watches and they all have the power to dress up or dress down our outfits. Very powerful right?

As powerful as they may seem we have the ability to curtail how they influence our clothes and styles. It all starts when we choose to pay for that particular watch.

I just love some particular brands and I let them influence my decision but I actually look forward to the following:

LARGE FACES: This actually works more for bigger men but I do love watches that have large faces. Large faces show masculinity as smaller faces are preferred by women. This should be proportional to the size of your wrist so that it does not come out too big or like someone lent it to you.

STAINLESS-STEEL STRAPS: Using watches with stainless-steel bracelets show a great amount of class and prestige. And these set of watches are very flexible in usage as they dapper your suit for work and do the same for your casual jeans and t-shirts. You can afford to have only one timepiece that is versatile.

AFFORDABILITY: Watches could be quite expensive you know? But I rather go for not too expensive ones. However I try to be realistic. Popular brands are not so cheap so beware when you see some that are quarter the prices. It is of no use buying a watch that would not last long.

Not every watch should go with you to a meeting. Sporty watches should definitely not be on your wrist with your suit. If you are a great fan of sporty watches try to use them more casually as they could destroy your all perfect appearance.

FIRST IMPRESSION

First impression is the feeling people get about you, your personality and your lifestyle at a glance.

The first impression people have about you matters to some extent because it either brings a positive or negative energy between both of you.

An impression is formed between 0-5seconds and first impressions are hard to erase.
We need others in order to succeed and the impression people have about us promote our relationship or it  doesn't.
                                          

                                         FORMING THE BEST FIRST IMPRESSION

CONFIDENCE: There is no better way of presenting yourself than having a lot of self confidence but not too much. You may not be the most handsome guy in the world to show self confidence. Trust yourself and remember that everybody on earth have the same body parts as you do, so you  shouldn't feel threatened.



CLEAN APPEARANCE MATTERS: We owe our bodies the duty to keep it clean. You can't stay close to dirty people so don't be the dirty one in another's life.

PUT OUT THOSE CLOTHES: Clothes say a lot about who and what we are. Our clothes must not be super expensive for them to be good. Make an effort into  what you wear and how you will appear. The amount of time you put into your outfits will definitely show when you put them on, and they usually come in forms of compliments.

YOUR HAIR IS AS IMPORTANT AS EVERYTHING ELSE:  Whatever style you choose to keep your hair in, let it be clean and attractive. Choose the hairstyle that fits you and your personality and that which you are comfortable in. Cut ,Trim your hair at least  every week. This will give you  a fresh feel to it. And dare to change your hairstyle, explore! don't take life too seriously.

LET IT BE COMFORTABLE: Your cloth, hair and every other thing will only work for you if you get comfortable. If those trends do not make you feel comfortable forget them but still stay  stylish.

Remember, it will all depend on you  to make a good first impression, it starts from within so don't fail to have a good impression about yourself.
