Tick tock, here goes the crop top and high waist-ed skirt trend, in a world of ever passing fads and fashion that is in current for a while it is no wonder to see all those exposed bellies slowly disappear, (and well lets be honest, not all of us were graced with Gisele Bundchen's measurements to expose our midriff), and if I do say so myself I am glad it is going away, slowly but surely.

 To everyone that broke their bank account to purchase the high waist-ed skirt from high-end fashion labels such as Alexander McQueen and Burberry, we're sorry to inform you that you have literally a maximum of two weeks to wear it with trend, ( lesson here- ONLY BUY EXPENSIVE PIECES, WHEN THEY ARE CLASSIC AND YOU KNOW THEY'LL BE WEARABLE FOREVER) but don't throw them out just yet, and also the purchase of crop tops must have literally piled up to the billions, I am almost certain every girl..... and some guys (wink wink) have one or two or 68 pairs, so keep the pieces but DO NOT  wear them as a pair.
Now Here's How You Rock It.

 The Proper Way- wear the cropped top but  switch it up for jean shorts, pants or a full A-line skirt, your crop top mustn't be the tight  type, let it be chunky and lose, this can be worn to look elegant, official and casual, just match with proper accessories, wear your skirt with a tucked in blouse or a t shirt, your cropped top should expose a maximum of two inches at most but the less the better.
  


 The improper way- DO NOT wear the tightest skirt with the tightest crop top you can find, it simply not flattering on anyone, it was cool 10 minutes but lets move on. DO NOT match your tops and your bottoms, DO NOT expose your belly button, GOOD GOD please don't, save the world the eye torture.


 
But well no one want to throw out their hard earned money's worth of clothes, so take the pieces you have  from this trend but switch it up, and wear them differently for that is what style is, it is the difference people have in expression of fashion.

Can we all say goodbye to the crop top and high waist-ed skirt trend, it has been the trend through out runways and... well sidewalks, from the elegant Burberry spring and fall collections to the urban Rihanna for River island collection, This trend has seen the high end red carpets of NEW YORK fashion week and Emmy awards and has gone low key to the streets of the world literally.... the world.
 But all good things have to come to an end, Purchase wisely.

The collection is simply clean, sophisticated and dapper than dapper...i mean, seriously! it is absolutely everything a man would want to have in his wardrobe.

Saltori, the genius behind all of it drew his inspiration from French men worker's uniform which were made of cotton drill made out of Japaniese indigo cotton yarn that had been bleached before woven and dyed.

The collection features easy on the eye fabrics with enough colours to make the rainbow shy. Saltori also pairs the clothes with two tone shoes inspired by the French Municipal workers of the mid-twentieth century.

The lookbook below is for you to draw the elements of style from this collection and hopefully spice up your selection of outfits and color coordination for this spring. Enjoy!













There is nothing more beautifully compelling than a man or a woman with style. I mean seriously isn’t style the only reason why you would stare at a stranger twice or wait until he walks past you so you can secretly take his photo and instagram it?

Finding your own style that best describes you is not as hard as conjuring demons in the 21st century. Well that does not also mean it is easy because if it was then why would why would I be watching fashion police on E?

Discovering your style, developing it and owning it is a gradual process and today we are going to be taking all our fashionable men through the HOW TO steps.


Have A Skeleton.
Remember, you want to be stylish and unique and not outrageously GaGa. This skeleton therefore acts as your inspiration board. Drawing inspiration from sources like magazines and blogs can be the easiest way to see how far you are willing change and the potential style elements that you are ready to pin on your styling board. Remember to be true to yourself when doing this and an honest opinion from a trusted stylish friend can be of good use.




Groom Yourself.
Don’t wait until you have put it all together for you to start rushing out on toes trying to get the best acne treatment, shaving crème and a hair do. That is simply pathetic. Do it now! Book that appointment and get your hair done, nothing says intent to change like a good hair cut.

Pay attention to your skin and care for it, there is nothing good like a healthy skin and just because you are guy it doesn’t make you an exception. Girls will always run away from crocodiles the same way they will run away from a crocodile’s twin. So paaahlease, skin care is mandatory.





















Know Your Budget.
Dorothy Wang once said, “It is good to spend within your means” and she was right.  If you can afford to change your style with thousands of dollars, it is fine but it is not the only way. If your wallet is a bit too tight make good use of high street, eBay and sales on stores.

Remember, taking time to know the specific items you are going to shop for is going to save you money you would waste on buying something you never needed. Omg! Isn’t that like the longest sentence ever?



Embrace The Change. Own it!
You didn’t climb all the way up to easily fall off the ladder and trust me when I tell you this, most of the people do. For people to completely say that is someone’s style, the owner of it has to reflect it with love, pride and confidence



Without being confident with the new change and a positive attitude towards your new image then I am afraid to say work done is zero. Forget about the stereotypes painting stylish men as being feminine; Real men moisturise, do their manicures and check themselves on the mirror…those who don’t eff’n believe it can just DEAL.
