A look at the trending chinos


 Picking up the right pair of pants can be hard for any guy.With a few general style tips, most guys can pretty much walk in anywhere and find a nice pair of quality jeans that fit well and head home. However, with “real” pants, things get complicated, and in the end, it typically comes down to finding something “good enough” and moving on with their life.
However, if you want to look your best, that simply will not do. In this guide, I will look at the chino, a versatile pant choice that can keep you looking good on those Saturday nights when jeans and khakis just are not enough.
You need to know that chinos are not all the same.What I really mean is that there are different chinos for different occasions. People have a misconception about them. The idea that one type or style can cover all possible events needs to stop.

Although they will always be considered informal by their very nature, there are differing levels of informality that chinos can come in.  I think it is important to understand what they are, especially when it comes to picking the right pair for your outfit each day.
This is great news for those of you out there who believe that brightly coloured chinos can only be worn in the most informal of contexts. With the right style and cut, you can wear just about any colour chino with something as formal as a blazer or suit jacket.
Now I am not saying that you need to own numerous pairs of the chino styles above. Most guys understand what their style is these days, so why not identify the chino that sits best with how you dress and then buy a couple in different colours? That way, you will not end up with a traditionally dressed lower half with an extremely casual top half.
Or buy all of them. Or none of them. 
This was just a quick note on the fact that, despite what some stores will have you believe, you cannot always wear one pair of chinos in every scenario. Take the information and do with it as you see fit.




Guys who wear soccer kits outside stadiums


One of the most interesting things about attending any big sporting event, or any large collection of people is people watching.We are a fascinating species, us humans.  And we make some interesting choices when we are out in public.For those reasons, it is a blast to sit back, and watch the sitcom called "Human beings".
               

                                            

Most sports fans are content to pull on their team's shirt and root them on. But what of those who take their excitement an extra step by dressing head to toe in team colors even when there’s no game on?

At any big football match one of the most interesting experience is the total number of people wearing jerseys. I bump into soccer fans who wear the full sport gear on their day to day basis.This is what inspired me to write this.Its wrong,it looks wrong and i bet it even feels wrong.! 

We understand that  you are dressing to support your favorite football player or your favorite soccer team as a whole.However there are some people who take it a little too far.You CANNOT wear a full kit!From the Man U cap,to the jersey ,to the shorts and even the football boots.Yes there are people who do that and I have come across such a person.Its like Robin Van Persie is taking a walk in Zimbabwe.You are just embarrassing yourself.I think you should just leave that in the football stadium,that is the only time where we can understand what you are wearing.



The problem is when people try to walk around the streets wearing such.This is just a fashion disaster.If you are that in love with your team please just wear one thing at a time.Monday you can wear the cap,Tuesday you can wear the jersey.Well the shorts and the boots are an exception.It will be weird bumping into someone in town who is wearing football boots.

This also goes to the soccer players or the wanna be soccer players.If you are coming from sports practice,do not walk around in your full kit,rather go for a tracksuit,as hot as it may be.This is better than making a full out of yourself.
If you are feeling all sporty,rather wear a baseball cap,soccer jersey,jeans and maybe a pair of Jordans.That way you will not get the weird looks when you walk around.
What do you think of soccer fans who wear full kits?

Overweight people and tight clothing

First of all I want to make it clear that this blog is not directed at any individual in particular nor is it meant to offend overweight people. I will mainly focus on ladies, as they are the ones that are always on the wrong side of fashion law . I understand that overweight people are people who have self esteem and are comfortable enough in their own skin that they just wear what they want. They do it because they are the owners of their bodies and they want to feel good in it.However i feel that sometimes they take it a little too far.Here is why...

Whenever i walk around the city,i always bump into unbearable and unpleasant sights of fat people in skimpy clothing.I always see ladies in particular who are clad in tight dresses and  look absurd with huge bellies almost spilling out of their tight fitting tops and dresses. If you have ever seen how they make sausages then you would know what I am talking about.

If you are overweight,you should know the areas of your body that draw too much attention and then make an effort to buy clothes that will cover those areas or at least not draw attention.You do not want a situation where a plus size woman tries to fit into a Paris Hilton dress.A lot of people think that by wearing clothes that are a size smaller or tight fitting,will make them slimmer.NO,this makes it worse,you are actually making yourself look fatter because all the humps and bumps on your body are visible.We do not want to see the loads of junk in your rear.No thank you..Now this is a problem because instead of enhancing your appearance,you are now getting more than what you were bargaining for-a perveted man's fantasy.!

I am not saying that women should not wear what they want; on the contrary, they must all wear what makes them feel comfortable. However, I don't understand those who wear certain clothes to cause attraction when they can guess that it only works against them. Why not enhance your strong aspects instead? Trust me when I say this, fat women in skimpy clothes appeal to perverted men, it is every man’s fantasy to have a fat girl but in reality your dressing really doesn’t appeal if it looks absurd.Showing off your behind doesn't necessarily equal automatic sexiness.

Why not go for clothes that get you less attention? We all want to have that dress that says “Hey look at me” but it shouldn’t come at the expense of your imageI have an overweight friend of mine who says that they were skimpy clothing because
those clothes used to fit, and they feel if they go out and buy bigger clothes, they will get bigger and out grow those as well. The figure wearing tight clothes will remind that they need to lose weight.In as much as medicine doesn’t taste good it is a remedy we all eventually will have to gorge down our throats.

Have you ever come across an overweight  man wearing tight jeans? Barely,because they know it will draw unnecessary attention and it is not comfortable as well.It is a sight one would rather go for the rest of their life without seeing.
 

So my advice to you ladies is that,please dress according to your body size and spare yourself the humility.Buy age-appropriate clothing . Here's a good rule of thumb: If someone 20 years younger or 20 years older than you would also be shopping in this department, then readjust. You don't want to look too young and seem like you're trying to hard, but you also don't want to buy clothes that age you.
My grandmother always says that fat people wear tight clothes because they just seek attention.Do you want to be put in this category of people?No i don't think so.There you have it ladies and gentlemen.

Bona's wedding.A look at the outfits.

So we all know that President Robert Mugabe's only daughter ,Bona wed in a lavish ceremony on Saturday at the parents' plush Home in Borrowdale.Let's take a glimpse into what the first family and the guests were wearing.

Starting with the bride,Bona Mugabe wore a body hugging white gown which gently flared at the hem with a flowing train.The whole gown was jewel encrusted and had a collar.I have heard a lot of people complaining about the collar on her gown.I personally thought that it was the one that made the dress gorgeous!I mean how many weddings have you bumped into brides wearing that kind of dress.It had a vintage look to it,but Bona nailed it.

I have seen a lot of beautiful wedding gowns at different wedding but almost all of them are boob tubes or halter necks where they show the women's back.However she still looked stunning with a dress that did not reveal cleavage or her back.



The bride's brother looked eye catching in a pink blazer with a silver ribbon.Trying to match with Bona's bouquet I see.And it suits him really well.As much as we are talking about fashion here,no one can run away from the fact that the young Robert is VERY handsome too.Yes,handsome.Oops i said that twice.Anyway,dont the two just look exquisite?

Bona proved that looking beautiful is not just about the make up because she has little make up.She looks natural.
 The First Lady was looking elegant in a royal blue shimmering dress with huge silver earrings and a black fascinator.She has set a trend ion the cape,I have always seen celebrities wearing capes on the Hollywood Red Carpet and I just thought that kind of fashion was for the Americans.Our first lady managed to rock it considering that she is almost in her 50's but she proved that she can still pick trends.
However,the offside of her outfit is that the cape makes her arms look like they start from under her armpits!I don't know if that is the proper design or the designer made a mistake,it kind of looks horrible.Another thing,she is wearing pumps!Come on,this is a wedding, and her dress was long too.If heels hurt,she could have at least looked for a shoes with a small heel.Who knows,maybe she did not want to look extremely taller than her husband.
Irregardless of the shoes,she looked fabulous.An inspiration to the over 40 women who always wear 2piece and 3piece suits!
Beside his beautiful wife was the proud father,President Robert Mugabe who was clad in a black tuxedo!He looked really expensive and he looks quite different from his normal way of dressing.I mean this in a good way).I love the shoes too which are so on point.However,his designer should have trimmed his trousers a bit because it looks too big.
Inspite of this,the couple looked beautiful .



The groom,Simba Chikoore was clad in a fabulous ivory gold jacket which sat well on his finely built shoulders.
He looked serene and composed and looked like royalty too.His shiny trousers reminded me of Calisto though,on his video of special meat!

The bridal party looked lovely in pink and white
The bride had two dresses and the second one looks lovelier.
I love the lacy detail on the back which makes it makes it sizzling hot.Which dress do you prefer?
