Styling Anonymous

So it's summer and you want to hit the beach and every pair of short you own makes your legs look skinnier than they really are( probably than how you like to believe.) Life can be a little hectic for a skinny guy who wants to look good because for some reasons the stores never stock enough of our sizes, so believe it or not, when it comes to men who have more bone that flesh, we fall on the minority group. Sad isn't it?

Today i want to share the secretes on how to dress and style your wardrobe to complement your small frame and abundance of visible bones. I remember growing up loving fashion so much, trust me, i was that kid who had so many ideas but often got disappointed when i went to the stores and had to pick out something that was oversize. My mom didn't give a crap about alterations, i mean which six year old went to do alterations on their outfits anyway? certainly not kids on my side of Africa.

1. BEFRIEND AFFORDABLE EUROPEAN DESIGNERS.

This is actually very true, most of the affordable European Fashion designers like Zara worldwide, H&M, Top Man and Uniqlo always have variety of sizes in their stores, you will not miss a thing, from a size 28 to 25 sometimes even lower. Another bonus when you shop from these stores is that you can be trendy, wear quality clothes are still not spend a fortune, plus, they are the quickest in stocking new collections from time to time.

For those skinny guys in Africa like me, we have shops like Mr.Price, Identity and splash. I know that most high fashion people don't like shopping on these shops with the fear of dressing on something that ten other people already have but here is the trick, buy, mix it with another brand or go to the tailors and edit it to your liking.

2. SKIN TIGHT FIT IS THE WRONG FIT.

I don't really know where we get this, but growing up, i mean when i was old enough to have contacts of tailors in my phone-book, i literally used to slim out every piece of cloth i owned. For some reason we feel that skinny people only look good on skinny clothes and in the real sense that is wrong. I think we should dress in things that doesn't suffocate us or expose all curves of the bones we possess, it is just not cool, rock-star or not, it should really stop!

3. DON'T ADD FLESH MY DROWNING YOURSELF IN FABRIC.

For the love of God! some people are cray cray... I've met so many people who find the need to hide in the closet because of their weight, the cant stand the idea of people given them that eye that screams, "Boy you need to eat" so what they do i just drown themselves in layers and layers of fabric just to add flesh on their system. Well it could help, but i think it is important for you to embrace the body frame you where born with and just love it.

Some people might ignore the fact that some men get insecure of their weight because we think it is only logical for a fat person to feel insecure, but guess what, even us who cant gain weight we get bullied too, we are given awkward stares when we walk in some places and everyone just wants to shove food down our throats. So yeah, embrace it and stay stylish.
