Jewellery for Men: Mens Fashion Trends.

Jewellery for men becomes a major trend for 2013/2014. We have spotted
editor's from Milan to Manhattan sporting bracelets and necklace
pieces for men. But can us ordinary guys rock this trend. I think yes
we can. With media influences buzzing over it. Without a doubt I think
we can give it a go.

I would say to look good with particular trend is to be very minimal
with colour and keep colour neutral. You can perfectly pair the
bracelets with leathered colour of black and brown. You can mix and
match.. Play with them. If you going for a more formal look, just
restricting the number of bracelets you have on your wrist and just
make sure you have a sharp formal watch piece as well.

Some STYLE inspiration for you Ladies..

Who doesn't know Rihanna? The diamonds singer continues to blossom
very highly. Her last collaboration with River Island was absolutely
on point! On the other hand Rihanna's new AW/2013 "G4L" (Gangster for
Life) collection is all sorts of sexy, tomboyish and with high-fashion
edge, just like her. Its with no surprise that bad girl Rihanna and
urban retailer River Island have teamed up once more for another one.

The collection is filled with bomber jackets, shirt dresses, camo
printed boots, hooded maxis and baseball jackets with layering pieces
For the fall season of course. Tell you what, enough of this! Here's
the LookBook.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can heavily see that Rihanna's influence is all over these
designs. Ladies what ya'll think. Share your views. Do whatever that

Neon Colours x Mens Fashion Trends

Hello everyone... I assume you're all having an amazing week so far.

Bright (I mean SUPER bright), Fluorescent colours, bold, fun and
daring would be the right words for me to briefly describe the Neon
colour trend. Its striking and attention seeking.
 

I seriously won't whooper with you. At first I never was really into
neon colours I felt as if they were too much and of course extremely
bright and pretty much in your face, since I'm more of the laid back
type this trend ceased to make any impression. But within an instant
that changed, they became everyone's statement piece. From runway
shows to our stylish on streets, this trend took of like wildfire.
 

 

 

 

 

 

I've seen a number of people seriously flopping and some really

winning with this fashion's popular trend. Some things just aint for everyone. Its a youthful trend that can look super cool with

accessories. Accessorise and you on the go. This is by far the perfect trend for the festive season!

Printed t-shirts and sweaters

Hello guys, I'm hoping that you are all having a fantastic week so far.

Today's post is all about the printed t-shirts, shirts and sweaters. I
have been spotting printed tees and sweater too many times recently.
And I've also shopped myself some too. What I honestly love about
prints is that they complete a look in a bold way and they also allow
you to have a canvas to work with like your t-shirt, sweater or just a
simple printed shirt.

Prints can transform your look into a statement but we shouldn't be
lost in translation with your look. Over-exaggeration can make you
into a laughing stock and we don't want that. That is why I tend to
keep things simple, because the simpler the better it is. For instance
you can work with a t-shirt, sweater or a shirt, wearing those with
your preferable jeans or coloured chinos, but with regards to colour
it depends entirely with the type of colour the print is. And you can
wear a pair of high top sneakers or plimsolls and accessorizing that
further with accessories of your choice of course just to complete the
look. I hope you get the picture. :)

There is a vast number of prints that you would love to play with eg.
Artsy Florals, Abstract prints, Digital, Geometric prints e.t.c They
all add an element of fun to whatever the outfit you thinking of

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

Thinking of getting prints, try out ASOS and TOPMAN they have the
coolest printed tees and sweaters.

Thanks for your time. Do you love prints? Share with me, do whatever
that gets you to comment here. I seriously love hearing for you guys!

Living in Style: Monchrome x Black and White

 

We've been buzzing over the black and white trend for quite some time
now in the fashion culture, Black and white also finds its way on home
decor. As I said this trend is versatile and very simple to accomplish.


Monochrome can be a trend that we can use to decorate our homes, the
black or white objects, accents, floors and furniture etc etc.. I
could go on and on about monochrome. Black and white is classic, clean
and inherently chic which is why it fits on every where.

Black and white is minimalistically « (what a word) chic and adding a
third colour to this scheme, can break off the monotony of just having
black and white. For instance you can have aqua,teal, fuschia, emerald
green and coral coloured cushions on your black or white couch. These
colours draw attention but still do not overshadow the whole black and
white theme. When buying accessories make sure to buy objects that
also draw attention, either an all black or white object, or patterned
black and white cushions are fine.

You can go all out with trend and do what your heart desires with it.
Its monochrome love it? Hate it? Are you planning on incorporating
this to your home? Let me know! :)

Florals for Men

Even though this trend can be very daunting, Floral prints are still
going on full force, they are always the trend for this seasonal
spring/summer days.

 

Florals can be very lovely if pulled off successfully, the trick is
too keep a simple look when working with floral prints or any other prints.

To pull of this trend you have to have that canvas to work with that
draws attention.. Either a t-shirt or a shirt or a tie. You don't want
to have a busy look because that could only mean you were trying too
hard to look good in floral.

Its a fun,spring,summer and crazy trend.. Be creative and stylish at
the same time.

How would you describe a ROWDY Rucksack? ...

Well to answer that.. ROWDY rucksacks are rugged,rustic and raw. The
bags have become everyone's cup of tea nowadays everyone is raving
about ROWDY. Not that I blame them, the ROWDY rucksack collection is to die for. This South African luggage line is bold, clean and edgy
yet still has that emphasis of being raw.

 

 

"Classic, clean but with a ROWDY edge – these bags are handcrafted
from genuine leather and premium cotton canvas. This is a limited
edition collection, and it's all the way ROWDY." - Nicholas Meinert

 

The ROWDY team are broadening the brand to much greater heights, the
product will now be available internationally and a new upcoming
collection will also be available soon. The brand aims to produce
original and authentic bags suitable for everyone. I can already
picture myself strutting down the hallway with a hand crafted leather
ROWDY backpack on my back to a business man adding a bit of style to a
dull formal look with a ROWDY duffel. Its a versatile brand that
caters for everyone. And that's just the way I like it.

ROWDY designer/director Nicholas Meinert's brand features unique
custom hand made leather bags and premium cotton canvas. The brand
also focuses on detail, its not just the leather that becomes the
threshold of these bags but also a bit of detail that makes these bags more loveable

     to complete this post. I've done my bit now do yours Let's support and
     buy ROWDY rucksacks. If you still not inspired just as I am, maybe the

Pastel Looks for Men: Menswear Summer Trends x Menswear Style

Its SUMMER, and since its summer its time we let go of those dark colours, show some skin and wear bold warm and cold colours. And the pastel trend will do, if you want that subtle look but still want to look distinctively modern, masculine and stylish then this trend is for you.

What I love most about this trend, are the colours the different tones and shades of colour really make you stand out from the rest, yet they not dramatic at all, one of the colours you might see is rose, baby blue and minty green e.t.c the colours add a bit of fun to your formal look or casual either way you'll still look stylish.

While most guys steer away from wearing anything with colour, adding soft pastel colours to your wardrobe and to your look will really make a big overall impression from the others.

ITS SUMMER! GO PASTEL OR GO HOME.. Lol
