I was recently asked to do a post on Men’s Fashion…to share some tips with the fellas.
Well to all my male readers, the same rules apply…it’s all about fit, layers, accessories and looking polished. Some fashion no no’s the boys should look out for are as follows:
- Ditch your over sized baggy pants! The trend of wearing your bottoms around your bootie is long gone. Even most of the hip hop stars who ignited this trend have tossed their baggys for a more fitting form pant. Now I’m not saying you fellas should rock the skinnys us ladies can get away with…I’m just saying get some jeans and dress pant that will actually stay on your waist without a belt on.
- Tuck in your dress shirt and put on a belt! It’s that simple. It doesn’t matter if you have on a blazer and dress shoes, leaving your dress shirt hanging out of your pants makes you look sloppy and unpolished. Instead, tuck in that shirt and show off a simple yet classy leather belt with a small buckle. It will take you “dressed up” from a 3 to a 10!
- Don’t be afraid to layer. Some of the hottest looks for men this Fall & Winter incorporate sweaters, vests and scarves. Give it a go! Try a heather gray thermal, with a navy V-Neck sweater or buttoned-up cardigan on top. You can even throw on a blazer to complete the look.
- Stick to earth tones and leave the color for the ladies. I find that men look best when they keep it simple. Now that doesn’t mean you can’t throw on a splash of color here and there…but in general I find the following colors work best on men of all skin tones: brown, black, gray, tan, navy, white, beige, burgundy & green.
Fashion Tip: Some of my favorite places to shop Men Fashion are John Varvatos, Urban Outfitters, JCrew Men’s Shop in NY, Army/Navy Stores, The Gap, Banana Republic & Barneys .
