style101 / COLLARS

Collars 
could actually define who you are 
(or where you ought to be).

Choosing the right color and collar theme for an event, 
especially big and budgeted ones, 
requires a little cleverness. 

But before we go through which, 
here's a basic style 101 pic 
to help you out in the discussion of collars.
(parts of your tricky little thing are shown)

Dig in...

Be Who You Are / Style 101


MEN'S FASHION 
REQUIRES 
YOU TO BE WHO YOU ARE


IT REQUIRES YOU TO BE 
TRUE
TO WHAT YOU LIKE
AND WHAT YOU WANT


IT IS BEST 
WORN AND SHOWN 
WITH THE LEAST OF GLAMOUR AND EFFECTS
THE REAL YOU, THE BETTER
IF NOT THE BEST 



LIVING A BIT ON THE 
OTHER EDGE WOULD BE FUN
BUT DO SO IN THE THOUGHT OF SIMPLICITY 
AND TRUTH TO ONE'S SELF



SO THE NEXT TIME YOU 
WALK AND TALK 
AND BE THE MAN YOU OUGHT TO BE...
PUT ON YOUR BEST SUIT,
AND SIMPLY BE
YOURSELF

STYLE 101: SLIPPERS


Okay I admit it, am also a Havaianas fan.
But thing is, there really is just three rules when it comes to wearing slippers.

One, OCCASION.
Beach or an afternoon stroll at the mall, or perhaps it’s a wet Thursday or something – just one consideration, the slippers should be appropriate for that moment.

Two, STYLE.
This one is tricky as some men prefer bulky type of slippers; like Crocs, Sandugo and many others. Havaianas give you thin slippers on the other hand. Be your own judge, as one toe is different with the others. So long as you are comfortable and the slippers you wear looks good on you – that’s stylish enough.

In case you still doubt though, ask a friend, an honest friend.

Lastly, CLEAN.
CLEAN slippers and clean toes! ‘nough said.

Enjoy the rainy season folks!

STYLE 101: SCARF


I won’t say much except that not most Filipinos find it comfortable wearing a scarf.
Its either you’re a Muslim, selling stuffs or just one fashion forward gay guy.

ENNG! Too cliché, and yes too shallow!



Scarves are men’s sexiest cold weather accessories.
Why do you think rock stars and hipsters like them?
They are sexy and they are comfy. 
End of story.

To rock them is very easy as well. They look better with tee tops, but rarely when you have mastered your style; they also look great on some collared tops. As for starters, get them in 100% cotton. 


Stick with classy patterns like plaid and gingham as well. 
And finally, learn how to put them on.



Beat the cold guys – in style!

style 101 / BROGUE SHOES


(derived from the Gaelic bróg (Irish), bròg (Scottish) "shoe")



Considered now as one of the most formal shoe to sport, brogues are basically low-heeled traditionally characterized by multiple-piece, sturdy leather uppers with decorative perforations (or "broguing") and serration along the pieces' visible edges.



Brogues were traditionally considered to be outdoor or country footwear not otherwise appropriate for casual or business occasions, but brogues are now considered appropriate in most contexts.


Brogues are most commonly found in one of four toe cap styles (full or "wingtip", semi-, quarter and longwing) and four closure styles (oxford, derby, ghillie, and monk).

Style101: PLAID or GINGHAM - How To Tell

Style, 
being an epitome of one’s attention to details is far more refined once, 
well I have said it, DETAILS are well taken.

Let’s polish some, shall we.

Let’s see the commonly confused patterns, GINGHAM and PLAID.


When you reach 22; and formal clothes and smart casuals become a necessity, am pretty sure you have chanced upon these terms. Should you have been a high fashion fan, am way sure you know the difference. But to help refresh our stylish, perverted minds, here’s a basic run down of the difference of plaid and gingham.

Gingham have lines of the same width

Plaid, on the other hand has different widths

Gingham is always white, plus another color 
(or two shades of which)

Plaid can be any color combination 
(and they usually come in three to five color combos)



That’s just it!

 

Keep the smart ass in you in the know, come back for more of these stuffs!

STYLE GUIDE | 4 T-SHIRTS THAT EVERY GUY SHOULD HAVE


Let's tour the t-shirts department with this style guide post.
I have made a little something that tackles the
 4 T-SHIRTS THAT EVERY GUY SHOULD HAVE.



You’d never go wrong having a stash of these, even just one per type. These are year round must have shirts that are perfect for the country’s weather. Am not particular with brands, but am pretty much pushy on the kind of fabric (get them all in cotton, please). 

Check 'em out…



1.       PLACKET. Nothing goes wrong with a t-shirt with a placket detailing. It looks classy and perfect either worn on its own or under a blazer. A word of advice? Wear this with a blazer on top for a date, and she’s (or he) is gonna dig your porma. It’s just simply Roman, so reminiscent of Italian sunsets.  



2.       SPORTS SHIRT. It would come in handy when you have to hang with the boys. A sporty t-shirt is the safest one to wear. Besides, the print would usually stir conversations. // I prefer football prints. 



3.       VINTAGE. My favorite, my forever favorite. A real vintage, meaning an old, really old t-shirt that has a graphic print is among the most stylish shirt there is. It has a character of its own that’s perfect for daily use. Rain or shine, vintage never goes out of style.


4.       V-NECK SWEATS. Yes, it goes together. A sweater with v-neck. Invest on a brand as this would usually come handy only during the cold months. Pick something with a color that fully flatters your skin tone. 



5.       SCHOOL PRIDE. Show your school some love and get a school shirt. It would come handy during certain events that would reunite you and your barkada. And if you’re a fan of collegiate basketball, the t-shirt is your ticket to the fun. Come to think of it, am missing cheering for my team! 


So there you go, 4 T-SHIRTS THAT EVERY GUY SHOULD HAVE.
