StanRaw THE WORLD OF FASHION WITHIN ME!

It’s a man’s world!



I’ve been receiving some requests from the guys to do a FASHION post on men’s trends and styles. This one’s for the boys – here is some great Fashion & Style advice on creating a look that suits your personality to a T!


I’m focusing on 4 main styles and will be explaining how you can pull of these looks – or use them as a foundation for your own unique style!


London Lad
London Lad is all about sophistication and class! A business look with old school charm and style. The London Lad look is for all you business moguls out there – a chic style that can easily be pulled off with little effort giving you more time for the important things – like making money!
Key Pieces:
• A tailored suit – make sure to invest in a great suit from an expert tailor, keep the colours neutral: Black, Charcoal, and Gray – that way you can wear it with different shirts throughout the week.
• Dress shoes – to match each suit you own. Spending more upfront will save you more in the long run.
• Some signature cufflinks – if you want people to distinguish you from all the other pen pushers out there make sure you have something worth remembering – no one wears cufflinks for an office look any more and that's exactly why you should]



Hip-hop Boi
Got Swagger?! Then pull off this alternative look – Hip-Hop Bio is all about embracing the lifestyle! You don’t dress Hip-Hop you live it! This look is all about having street cred and keeping up with the current trends.
Key Pieces:
• Drop-crotch pants – bang on trend and a must for the Hip-Hop look!
• Converse – The best street cred shoes out there.
• Diamond Studs – Any Hip-Hop Bio knows a pair of “REAL” diamond earrings sets you apart from the payers!




Metro Man
Designer names and the confidence to pull off that flamboyant print is what you’ll need to rock the Metro Man look! This look is all about FASHION and STYLE – Grooming and colour trends are a few concepts that you will have to familiarize your self with if you want to be a Metro Man!

Key Pieces:
• Tailored-made designer trends – anything designer and custom made is a must! Designer jeans are prefect for a laid back look and a tailored suit from Alexander McQueen will cover you for a more “dressed” look!
• Bright Prints – being metro is not just about wearing pink, it’s also about wearing prints and being comfortable wearing them.
• Dress shoes with Shorts – if you’re thinking “hell NO” then the Metro Man look is not for you!





Beach Bum
Laid back, easy going, and care free is what Beach Bum is all about. If you’re a no fuss type of guy that still wants to make an impression then the Beach Bum look is for you! This is how ever NOT a look you want to be sporting at the office, except if your office is a beach bar in Mozambique!

Key Pieces:
• Designer board shorts – the beach shorts is a must for the holiday vibe so make sure you get a designer pair like Aussiebum or D&G.
• The Garmin Forerunner watch – an all in one watch that is perfect for the beach or that out door scene.
• A great body – Yes unfortunately if you want to pull of the “little clothing” beach look you have to keep in shape…so invest in a gym contract and a trainer to get your beach body back in business!

Country Couture

Living life the country way is not for everyone but the country look definitely is! Carefree, laid back and easy going – I love this look for end of summer going into autumn but it’s also perfect for a casual look during the HOT SA summers – just boot the boots for some heels or sandals.

Key Pieces
• Blue Jeans – faded, distressed or still brand new any thing looks good as long as it is in a straight cut or skinny leg!
• Country Boots – A great investment! If you invest in some proper leathers (faux if you prefer) you can wear them year in and year out depending on the current trends of course.
• Sunglass aren’t just for city living – Tortoiseshell is a must! I love the browns and oranges for this particular look!

Country Couture Inspiration to pull together your look!

Trend Alert!!
Jumpsuits
A huge trend this summer is the cut-off or short Jumpsuit. This retro revamp is making a huge comeback, but for the summer only! I think this will be a short lived trend so take full advantage of it right NOW! 



Get them in preppy colors & girly prints! Make sure to also get some basic pieces to dress up with some killer heels or down for a day on the beach! – Black, White and Brown will cover all grounds!

The perfect beach look!
 
  If you’re gonna do summer do it in style!
