How you can become trendier?

People seek advice and insight on how to be more stylish and be able to unique.Being stylish or trendy consists of a complete package and is not simply reflected through clothing.I came up with a few pointers to indicate whether you are a trendsetter or a fashion follower.

One of the major pointers is your personality.
There is an essential resemblance in the personality traits of most trendy people.They usually love the unexpected and enjoy being noticed for their new purchases in any clothing item.Characteristically, people who buy the latest trends in fashion or clothing tend to be outgoing and extroverted and don't mind an occasional negative glance. I can personally relate to that.Such people are the first ones to think of fresh ideas for the newest look and can predict the styles that will help them stand out from the rest of the crowd.If you want to be recognised as one such person then I suggest you revise your character or personality, while at that choose a specialty store.These characteristics make perfect sense, as somebody who is shy and reserved tends to prefer blending in with the crowd and usually avoids getting noticed.
The innovative people tend to be the first in their group of friends to adopt a style, since they shop in exclusive stores and take the time to choose what they really want. You don’t necessarily have to pick an expensive store that sells the same items as the next but basically take time to choose something that will work for you.Specialty stores, which will widely turn out to be privately owned boutiques usually carry only a few items of clothing, as opposed to the more popular stores that try to copy these lines and mass-produce the more exclusive items, selling them at a cheaper price.
One important characteristic is to be fashion savvy.


I know I have mentioned many times… Observe someone you know that adopts new clothing styles before everyone else. You should be able to observe if his or her choice of outfit will be an eye catcher in popular stores or boutiques a few weeks or months after everyone else has caught on to the trend.
Fashion savvy people strive to be unique, hence the term trendsetter. By the time the public can find the hot item at most chain stores at a less expensive price, the trendsetter has already found a new style while everyone else is dressed in the same outfit. Trendsetters are rarely conservative individuals. Instead, they like to set themselves apart from everyone else by buying new clothes that no one owns or has seen yet.
Be careful so as not to categorize early adopters with odd looking people walking the streets.
Fashion savvy individuals are not necessarily those with purple or ginger haired weird people that wear strange clothes.Someone can be trendy and classy at the same time. Many people such as celebrities are trendsetters but don't necessarily wear crazy, ridiculous looking outfits. They simply adopt new fabrics, new colours and new cuts before the general population does.
Apart from being the first to adopt the latest styles, what else makes someone a fashion leader rather than a fashion follower?
Obviously, a trendsetter must love clothing as he easily adapts to new things.A person that doesn't purchase at least one or two new pieces of clothing every season can definitely not be considered trendsetter.A fashion leader should love shopping and should schedule time in his agenda to read magazines, browse or window shop through clothing stores. I know most people think that you should have a steady income for this but what happened to saving up? Being trendy is not expensive but we all know that most sharp looking clothes don't come cheap.


To be a trendsetter you must begin by caring more about what you wear. Rather than always wearing the same shirt and pants, vary your combinations more often. Start noticing people who dress well and take note of which colours, cuts and styles they wear. Start shopping in order to refresh and revitalize your wardrobe. Flip through magazines and notice what will be the next big thing for next season. It's even simple to see what the next trends and styles will be by watching popular television shows.


Lastly don’t purchase something that is ridiculous because you saw your favourite celebrity wearing it. Get something that will set a trend and at the same time make you feel good wearing.

What a man can't be seen wearing


Most of the time, advice about fashion and style tends to focus on what you should be .However, when it comes to style, there are actually so many acceptable looks to choose from that it can often be hard to find advice that works for you. Sometimes, it’s just easier if someone tells you what you should not under any circumstances, be wearing.
That’s what I am going to do today. If you are already a pretty fashionable guy, chances are none of the items on this list will come as a shock. However, if you are one of the many guys who need a little help when it comes in fashion, I imagine this might be of some service.
Ready to see what you should be eliminating from your closet?  
  • Crocs: These might be in the same category with "mayellow push".I'm sure most of you remember them.Crocs were “popular” for a while, but they were never okay. And especially not with socks.Unless you are elderly or mentally challenged,you have zero excuse for wearing crocs in this age.NO EXCUSE! 

  • Square toed shoes
Square toed shoes might have been cool half a decade ago, but now they make you look like a weirdo. Stop it.This isn’t 2002 anymore. It’s time to get a pair of shoes you didn’t own when Studio 263 was still on the air.
  • Turtleneck
Unless if you want to be like Justin Bieber and have girls all over you.

  •  Short suits.                                                                                                      
  This looks ridiculous.

  • Harem pants
They make you look like you are wearing a diaper.Some fashion items you should just not try.

  • Sandals and socks.Unless you are walking to the curb to pick up the newspaper, socks and sandals don't even make sense. The point of a sock is to keep you warm and the point of a sandal is to keep you cool.I do not know why people think it looks cool.

  • When it comes to men's fashion, floral can easily go from bad to worse.Lets face it, you're wearing a women's blouse and an old lady's blouse at that. Send this tropical look on a permanent holiday to Hawaai 
  • Flared pants
Yo might as well get yourself a fro and join the Jackson 5
 
  • Cropped pants
More like peddle pushers for men!
  •   Superhero clothes 
If you are nolonger a teenager,please stay away from Benten,Spiderman and Batman and all those childish comic book characters .

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.
http://www.artofmanliness.com/category/dress-grooming/
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?
