Fall Style for Men (basics)

Fall Style for men: Basics

Hey guys, and when I say guys I mean guys! Let's talk about your fashion now! The one thing about guys fashion is that it's AMAZING! This is mainly because they wear whatever they want and even though it may not flow, they still rock it. I would say men's fashion is a difficult area to write about because it is nothing like women's mainly because, women are very keen on dressing stylish and want to keep up with the trends of the seasons. Men on the other hand would rather just put a T-shirt and jeans on and walk out the door. Hopefully, this post will help some men try to find some style in their wardrobe and impress that special lady! Here we go!

Let's start with the jeans:
Baggy Jeans- The baggy look for men is long gone! Get a belt and make sure it doesn't look like you took a dump in them and now you're trying to hold them up...It's not a good look and no one wants to see the undergarments you've got going on there! NOT CUTE
Skinny Jeans- Looking around and doing a lot of research I have found that skinny jeans are now a man's best friend. Now, just because they are called skinny jeans, does not mean they need to be all up in your business! A nice loose skinny jean is the way to go, making it still masculine and comfortable.
 
 
 
 
As for shirts:
T-Shirts- These will always be in, but it's the way you style them that wont be. Just wearing a t-shirt with jeans will not be acceptable anymore boys! Layer it up it since it is fall! for example, put a nice grey cardigan sweater over top of a plan white T and automatically you look very classy! So easy!
For another look, the trench coat is definitely making it's way into men's fashion creating the sophisticated look. Now, this is a style of love or hate. Some men might love it and some might hate it! It's all depending on what you feel comfortable wearing! There are the long trench coats, but to keep it wearable wherever you are, keep the trench short. A short black trench coat still gives off the sophisticated look, but is still comfortable and doesn't make such a big statement!
For the casual skater boy, I will keep it simple, a nice fitted sweater over top of a t-shirt is still in and very stylish. Just stay away from the bagginess because it's sooo long gone!
 
Formal:
Keep it classy! A nice fitted blazer with loose skinny dress pants is the way to go this fall! Also, for a bit of spunk, add a bow tie instead of a long tie. To make a small statement put some colour underneath the blazer, like a blue shirt or get a coloured tie! SIMPLE
 
 
 
Shoes:
Shoes are more of a preference thing, and really what ever style you choose to wear, match the shoes to it! For example,
Casual style- Try some converses, super in style and go with just about anything. Also, another choice, if you're feeling edgy, go for the combat boot or just plain boots!
Formal Style- Stick with the dressy shoes, it just doesn't make sense without them! 
 
 
Thanks for reading this weeks addition! Stay Fabulous!

Do's and Don'ts for the Fall

Styles for Females
It's fall which means new trends are coming in and old trends are going out. A lot of people can probably agree that moving from summer to fall can be difficult when trying to pick out the first fall outfit and how to wear your hair in order to get noticed by the hot guy. No one wants to go to the mall and buy a whole new fall wardrobe especially if you're a student and have no money! What if there was a way to bring your summer clothing into fall? Yeah? Well, there is a way! There are summer trends that are moving right into fall so, bring out the staple summer pieces that are hiding in your closest and find out which old fall trends are sticking around! 

 

Do's
  •  Braided hair (this cute classic hairstyle may never go out of style because well, it's a simple look that can be worn with anything)
  • Bold Eyebrows (This style is being seen everywhere from Actress Lily Collins to famous model Cara Delevingne. They are funky and they make a great statement !)
  • Naturally Tousled Hair (Who doesn't like the Victoria's Secret model hair look? Yeah that's what I thought! Beautiful, big, curly hair is the way to go when trying to get that boy's attention)
  • Classic Prints (Always look classy with the right prints when picking out that nice top! Just remember not to go too overboard on the print, keep it simple but classy)
  • Nude Polish (Another classic choice and something that also will never go out of style. Nude prints make a simple statement, but also keep the attention on the outfit rather than the bright colour on your nails!)
  • Crimped Hair (If you don't want to do for the big curly hair, stick to something simple, but still styling! Crimping your hair can add that spunk into an outfit and it looks like you spent a lot of time planning yourself for the day)
  • Crop Tops (Crop tops are super cute! Glad they're transitioning into fall! These are very nice staple piece that can bring out the best parts of you if worn right!)
  • Layering (Always layer! This has been a pretty staple trend all year and it doesn't stop with summer! Layer those cute sweaters onto the crop tops and an army jacket on top! so cute)
Those are just some of the in trends that are making their way from summer to fall! Now lets talk about those out trends that no one wants to see because they're sooo last season! There aren't a lot, but some worth mentioning:

Don'ts
  • Big Blowouts (Thank goodness this is not a trend anymore! People actually did this on purpose...)
  • Super Plucked Eyebrows (Girl! Put those tweezers away and fill in those eyebrows! We want to see them beautiful thick eyebrows)
  • Reversed Ombre hair (This was never a good decision, just look at that picture...Who thought of that?) 
  • Bright Nail Polish (This is still a great look so don't throw out those pretty colours yet, but summer is gone and we are getting into the cooler times, keep those nails nude!)
  • Candy Coloured Hair Extensions (Uhmm...Do I have to say something about this or can we just forget it ever happened? Done.)

Those are the do's and don'ts when bringing those summer trends into fall! Hope you all enjoyed it and keep being Fabulous! Mauh!
