Streetstyle Inspiration : The Camel Coat

Fashion is just a continuous flow of aesthetic, a mere process of recycling trends and styles. I must say one trend I feel attracted to, unusually as I don't condone trends is the appearance of the camel coat...yes when Kim Kardashian appeared , obviously styled by Kanye, in all camel the world came to an immediate stop but now that I have seen the trend on other people...I do admire the camel coat, a little. The color, a kind of off nude, is attractive paired with a dominant color or block color, could provide one with a wondrous and dazzling outfit,  Mary Kate is seen below pairing ankle jeans (genius) with the camel coat. A point  to make about a coat of this color is the sizing of it, the color does bleed into other colors it blocks so it needs to be preferably over sized for it to look awesome...for it to look absolutely dashing, a trick you should use with any coat is perching the coat on your shoulders makes one look instantly cool and mighty fine.

LFW SS14: Basharatyvan V

Basharatyan V SS14 collection "Frida" was showcased at the Freemasons Hall; it was a colourful display of yellows, reds and pearly whites, which was a build-up on AW13's colourful palette. Hugely inspired by Mexican surrealist painter, Frida Kahlo the collection reflects strong traits of her paintings and philosophies.

Unique prints that show the brands growth in confidence and experience was a delight, with bursts of neon green, coral reds and beautiful monochromatic prints.

Veronica Basharatyabn was inspired by the pain and passion in Kahlo's work, her models reflected the statement eyebrows of Kahlo's trademark look. The silhouettes were sultry feminine and yet strong, channelling the fearless Frida, the uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form. 

The first impression of the collection is layers of delectable silk chiffons in a combination of both vivid and pastel colours, intriguing prints with pops of neon bright and zesty lemon/lime embellishments.

HATERS WILL HATE IF YOU LOOK THIS GOOD.

HATERS WILL HATE IF YOU LOOK THIS GOOD. 

This is a post for the lads and any females who dress in the androgynous style. Just to let you know if you are a lad who wears urban clothes like independent brands you don't really have to read this, I love guys who wear urban clothing and independent brands this is not for you, this is for the guys who are lost and need help. I've placed the gif of "haters gonna hate" because this is the attitude you will have if you dress like this, because you will look bloody dapper, therefore amazing. Alright, these are a collection of photographs I think the lads of this era need to seriously study, my collage one by one, obviously this entirely my opinion and my views on what guys should wear and how they should look. For me before I even talk to a guy or give him a chance of being friends I take into consideration what he is wearing, so therefore if I evaluate you and you don't look up to par I don't want to be friends, I probably sound extremely mean, oh well.

Call me shallow but I'm not, is it that hard to present yourself in a light that you
look relatively interesting? Obviously people dress to "express themselves" but please express yourself properly, or at least try your hardest to impress. The key is presentation, everybody should look good, this is a very fictional and materialistic world we inhabit I am a victim of this, don't worry it's not all about your clothes. Clothes help greatly, but if you have an interesting persona then you are fine and of course I hear having a handsome face helps...I think that formal dapper attire looks great like the images above shows. The photograph of the two Asian men with canes is a prime example of what I mean by "persona" look at the confidence that oozes off them, when you do have the confidence it helps to remember that that the you should wear the clothes and not let the clothes wear you, not a great look.

Clean - cut looks crisp on the lads, a white shirt works wonders with anything, a polo...wow now we are talking, look at the images look how confident and "on-point" these men look I think in my opinion the era of The Great Gatsby and Italian gangsters in every film, those are the real men. As you can see I have placed a pair of Nike Free Runs in the collage this is just to show that I endorse urban wear and that if  you actually mix up dapper and a pair of "sneakers" or Nike's it actually looks surprisingly good and provides a good balance of style that's all for now lads. The moral of this blogpost is: put away the tracksuits and jogging bottoms, for the sake of humanity...please and thank you.
