Color, Texture, Pattern Choice 101

I absolutely love to see men in color! Although the winter seems to force us to wear where darker colors its definitely okay to wear some color with those dark neutrals. Color and Patterns are trendy chic ways to spice up your winter look! Purple , white, green, yellow, red, and brown are some of the bold colors men are rocking this winter season. Plaids, tile print, argyle, and stripes are the sophisticated interesting way to pull your outfit together for the winter too! Oh and lets not forget about the luxurious textures, absolute MUST HAVES, leather, velvet, and mohair. They are warm and STYLISHHHHH!

Grey/Metallic
Eye popping and visually interesting for an outfit....try a scarf with metallic threads or a blazer with a metallic weave.

Brown
Love, love, love this color! Its warm, rich, and oh so chic! Fellas neutrals are always a great foundation/base color for a great causal or business look.......step your game up!

Yellows and Greens
These colors pop and go well with mostly all neutrals. Noticed I said"GO" not match , "It doesn't have to match it has to GO"! Try all neutral with a yellow or green shirt and a cable knit scarf with metallic threads.....So flyyyy!

Okay fellas so, go out and grab a few of these item like.. right.....NOW! Hope to run into some of you trendsetters.......And I know you will be looking so flyyyy!
Until Next Time....

Layers upon Layers!

Trendsetters it is officially cold outside! I hope that you are using some of the tips I have given to you over the weeks for this winter season! Here is another idea .....Layers! It's about the layers, this is a chic, trendy, and comfortable way to be stylish and warm.

If you’re walking long distances or trying to stay warm in the city, riding boots are your best bet Kirsten Dunst pairs her boots with Skinny Jeans and warm layers on top. Lets discuss a few of the prominent details of this look!

Boots
Rider boots can come in all styles, but we are talking about the original riding boot which are flatter in heel length. They are perfect for a chic look and a comfortable for a long day of walking and shopping!

Oversized Hobo Bag
We all love cluthches, but Oversized Hobo bags are the best, although we tend to carry the world at times, its such a statement! Large bags in bright colors are my suggestion they make a plain outfit pop and give a focal point. Now, Blacks and browns are hot too, but find ones with some detail ( ex. studs, stiching, hardware, etc.).

Scarves and Gloves
Get funky and find some fingerless gloves! Fingerless gloves are so 80's and so hottttt! Large chunky knit scarves and cable knit scarves in bright colors, patterns and prints are hot and can transform and outfit into a fun and casual chic look.

Layers
Layering long sleeve tees and short sleeve graphic tees is super cute! Layering has been around few the past couple of seasons! Shirts, hoodies, short jackets, bombers, cardigans are all perfect items, that we all own, that can be layered! Layering is a way to stay warm while expressing your trendsetting style. Throw on a few things where colors don't even relate and I am sure it will still be a great causal, yet chic look!

I am not a fan of the cold, but I love the wardrobe! So before we go on that next shopping extravaganza or causal outing with our boo let's add a few things to the outfit. Add layers upon layers and few other things in between! Love u guys!

Until Next Time!
