STYLE STATEMENT - The true identity.

Last weekend was a day of consuming a high dose of fashion. Not exactly just fashion, but style! To be even more precise, let us call them style statements!

We might chant high mantras of heels, breathe trends inside out, exercise fashionably and do all the gumptious tasks to look beautiful, but what matters is the expression of your inner self. Hence, style statements take away the charm. When God intentionally created each of us so distinct, he made it sure that everyone of us gets to define his own statement in style.

The way she feels about leather, its texture and the smell or the texture and touch of faux leather stands her inside strength out. There is hope around every corner and so the eyes carry those wings. The moment those coral nails see the golden bird flying out of the ring, it relates to me as drenching into freshwater corals, if there are any! When you are confident, enough to stay on one side and everyone else takes the other side, those hair give you support. Also, there is a statement of style wherein she shows her geekiness not because she is geeky with the materialistic thoughts but because she is geeky with the immaterialistic emotions.

A ton thanks to Ruhi, Rhea, Ritu, Megha and Tamanna for posing and not posing. :)

PERFECTLY SUSPENDED

I'm standing outside my house

Kissing the sunshine aloud.

Waiting for the moment to arrive

Pick me up and take me to a dive.

Waited long

Couldn’t find a clue.

I thought- I should just move on

Too much life is due.

I got things to do

That I don’t even know.

I have smiles to give

As a part of my show.

So, with my glasses on

To see the details

With my earphones plugged in

To ignore the trails

I walk along

to places unintended

It feels great

To see everything apprehended.

I have things to do

That I don’t even know.

But, I think I am perfectly suspended

For the show.

Perfectly Suspended- Style Interpretation

The theme I took up this time defines androgyny. Suspenders were originally worn by businesspersons and bankers as they dealt with important businesses. Paired up with geeky glasses and a bow tie carry the suspension perfectly. Listening to music humming in through the earphones is an influence of the modern day tastes of interests and the work etiquette people follow.
Suspenders today are acknowledged as both casual and formal wear. Either carry them on a shirt or maybe under a jacket. Add some geeky glasses onto it and wear high-waist trousers with it. A bow tie maybe for an exaggerating geeky look might give your suspenders look a bounce. 
Go for them and go all suspended.

Cheers

DRESS WITH NO RULES- MEN

Clothing styles have evolved, intersected and influenced our breathe today. With a growing liberal attitude, there hardly seems to be a rule-book made which defines dress codes for us. Be it men or women, everything is loved if it looks good on you. The important thing about it is- you look good when you are comfortable in it.

Roaming around the streets of Bangalore, I could sense liberty by the way men dress today. The mantra is being confident and comfortable. I could not feel anything but happy to explore so many interesting men who gave up looking for high fashion and instead made them a brand.

Accessorizing beard with beads, tattoos on the body, men carrying raw totes with loud messages on them, wearing printed shirts, decking in leather vests and bags, printed pants nowhere close to the blue and black stripes or checks... These were the finds of liberal men. 

The expression of connecting fashion with the self- not influenced by the trends or forecasts, but by the inner soul. You might love music or you might hum mantras, you might practise yoga or you  might be a lazy ass- each character shall be expressed uninfluenced.

From the cradle to the grave- lies a haircut and a shave.

Fashion isn't just restricted to clothes; females and brands! Men have their own fashion taste to groom themselves. Every individual personality is broadcasted by the looks. Their hairstyles have been their expression since Samson met Delilah.


Many take their hair for granted, while others take care about their personal style. A lot more men are expanding out their hair to layered and spiky lengths for a much trendier fashionable appearance. I have seen so many freaking hairstyles on men in college- from curls hanging free longer than a Punjabi mundi’s hair; dirty deadlocks not cleaned since 2 months to guys shaving their heads when they were freshers! And in between comes miscellanea of other hairstyles in men.

Well, it’s a personal choice. And it surely changes with time and that smartness factor in you. How often do you change your hairstyle? How much time do you take setting your hair? Do you brainstorm and study all the popular faces in the media?

so, finally here's my post on grooming for men!

We will have a look from men’s fashion catwalks of A/W12 and popular faces highlighting trends in men hairstyles.
But also, All doesn’t suit All! So, some tips about hairstyles based on features, looks and structure of face and head circumference in men.

TIPS FIRST

• For those who have square faces, you need to make a haircut that will soften your overall look by making wispy hair run across your forehead. Bangs are recommended for they can hide the corners of your face. Avoid square cut at the top of your head.
• For the round faces, you may want to downplay the roundness by making a square cut hairdo. Simple square-cut hair style with blunt edges looks good on the round face. The hairstyle you choose needs to reduce the look of roundness.
• For boys with oval shaped faces, the perfect hairstyle for them is one that will make their face look shorter. Side brushed haircut with swept bangs will be a good choice for it draw attention to the top or your face instead of the bottom. This style looks great on men with wider foreheads.
• Some people will have a mixture of shapes and facial characteristics, so you will have to decide which hairstyle is right for you. However, always keep in mind that you want to enhance your good features.

so, here was a study over different hair styles worn in fashion. ofcourse, trial and errors and jokes upon you will make you look smart one day! 

Calling a man who shows interest in his hair or, more generally speaking, takes pride in his appearance is somewhat dated. If you care for your hair, you could care for the rest. So, guys, get started and groom yourself up!

NEUTRAL BOLDNESS!

There is big difference between being brave and being bold. You can show being the latter but not yet not be one. While you can be the former yet not show it!

Guess, I found a neutral boldness in this chic! Power dressing for women is something which should be an ample topic to write on sometime!

Dressing in blacks, high heels or power shouldered jackets can turn down the fingers pointed at you! So, dare and dress up with some boldness. You know you are brave inside!
