Matching 2011 Fashion Style for Men
Matching 2011 Fashion Style for Men
Let’s face it-sometimes a little bit of a makeover does the trick when it comes to a guy’s wardrobe. However, one of best ways to do this is to simply change the things that you are doing wrong. So we have compiled a list of the worst things that you can possibly do, matched with this year’s fashion trends.
First of all, you need to remember that wearing clothes that don’t go together has many connotations. This includes styles of clothing. For example, if you want to wear a watchmen coat or greatcoat, which is now in style, you shouldn’t be pairing it with a pair of shoes and long socks and a pair of shorts. This not only looks ridiculous with a long coat, but it also looks ridiculous in any other outfit! Now, if you got rid of the coat and wore a tee-shirt instead, then you could easily get away with this!
Next, make sure your clothes are clean. The sniff test definitely doesn’t count—especially if you have any visible stains. Make sure that you have clean, fresh clothes on a daily basis and that they are completely and utterly stainless. If they aren’t, make sure to treat your clothing so that it does not have those stains any longer. Also, make sure that your clothes are aproned and neat without any wrinkles at all.
Last, make sure that your clothes match color-wise. If not, use a color wheel in order to make it easier to match things together.
What Goes With What?
What Goes With What?
Men’s fashion is a lot different compared to what it used to be. However, this is leaving a lot of men clueless as to what they should do when it comes to mixing and matching their clothing.
First of all, military style clothing is in, so that is definitely a starting point. However, military clothing doesn’t mean that you just wear anything—usually it requires that you plan ahead at least a little.
Say that you were wearing a watchmen coat. Now, you can dress it three different ways.
First, you can pair it with a nice shirt and a pair of jeans. Make sure that the jeans that you are wearing are clean and also are made of darker denim and softer denim. Make sure that your shirt is pressed. You can wear a pair of tennis shoes with these. Make sure that they are dark, or if you really wanted to, you could wear a pair of shoes that are lighter. A tie isn’t always a must.
Then again, you could also wear a tee-shirt and pair of regular jeans with a watchmen coat. Make sure that when you wear said watchmen coat that you make sure to wear a clean, neat tee-shirt. For example, make sure that you made sure your clothes are clean. The sniff test just doesn’t work or count, unless you’re at an all-guys school and even then it isn’t really acceptable. Shoes should be tennis shoes.
The last is all dressed up. Make sure that you are wearing dark slacks, a shirt of your choice, and shoes to match.
BACK IN BLACK, TRENDY COLOR SUMMER, FALL
BACK IN BLACK, TRENDY COLOR SUMMER, FALL 2010
Traditionally black is a very popular color in any wardrobe. It can be used as a staple color or as a accent color. Black has been the color of choice for men’s tuxedos, suits, and neckties. While many men see black as just a basic color they have to wear, black is actually the perfect way to let your personality shine through.
No color will serve a man better than black where a suit is concerned. Sometimes, black suits can be mistaken as boring or even sad but they are great to use to fill your wardrobe with colors. For example, contrast your black suit with bright shirts. Wear shirts that are aqua, red, pistachio, or even a pink. Add in a tie that blends both the colors of the suit and the shirt and you will look fantastic. Many men think they have to match the shirt to the jacket and the tie to the shirt, but this makes them look commonplace and boring. Add color, and better yet, if the black suit is your only suit, as long as the detail and stitching is conservative, no one will know it.
Black is also becoming a popular color in accessories. It’s a popular color to use as an accent in tan or brown blazers. It’s also added as a stripe to white dress shirts, which helps the shirt to go well with fantastic ties such as a gold or crimson tie. Black is used as an accent color in shoe stitching and helps to make a pair of shoes versatile. Black is also very popular with gold and silver accessories, and makes them easily match any man’s outfit.
