Fashion Tips

I get comments and emails from bloggers about what i posted in here. In terms of fashion. Some are just pathetically harsh and some just want advice and tips. Well, im here to explain it all to you. This post is only for the males. Ladies, im not interested in your fashion. I do adore the variety of fashion u female's have, but non would be applicable for a man nor within my interest to put it on.

Ok let me start..

You dont have to spend a fortune on your wardrobe. Believe me, i dont do that either. You dont have to spend thousands of ringgit to look like a million bucks. With the right choice of clothing and accessories, you can look like a million bucks. Here i am to give my points on how to achieve that. If you dont agree, not my problem!





Hair


I believe that when u dress sharp, as in u wear a tie or a suit, try to get messy hair look. Not so messy, but somehow rather your hair looks natural or not so uptight. A lil tease can do. If your hair is gel perfect and your attire is also, it'll make u look uptight or trying too hard to get urself into that look. If everything else is perfect, one item should be a lil mess. Not so messy, a beautiful mess i mean.
Short Neat

Out of bed looks sexy with formal wear



Face


This is what people look at firstly whenever or wherever. If you have long hair, having facial hair is not a bonus. Are you trying to APE yourself? Too many hair at one focal point is just a distraction. Enuf that u have long hair, facial hair doesn't go well with long haired people.



Bald or REALLY short hair man looks good with facial hair. Also, those with crew cut hair or short hair. Coz it balances the look. Not many people look good with the 'unshave look'. Please look in the mirror before you leave the house.

And PLEASE..trim your hair NOSTRILS. It's in the center of your face and u dont want people feel nauseous, coz it is VERY distracting for people when they talk to you. Even a single strand would distract the whole universe. It shows how poorly u look after yourself.

Eyebrow trimming depends. I would recommend it tho, but not many people dare to. It's not like your trying to look like Ziana Zain's, its just to get the brows look neat, not jungle like. Trim the ones in between both your brows and nose. You're not Freda Kahlo. Also a lil bit below the eyebrows, if its messy. Plucking 6-7 strands doesnt change your look into a women. Please dont go all drama with me.

Before

After..nothing sissy bout it right? All women would trade their husbands for this man.

I also dont really believe in expensive facial grooming. Well, i think it depends. If you have skin issues, u may opt to get a more expensive ones hoping it would change your skin problems. Im lucky that my skin is good, and save on expensive facial products. I believe if you wash twice a day, and moisturize at least once a day, ur skin would be good. Exfoliate at least once a week with a scrub to remove sebum and dead cells on your skin.




Shirt / Tshirt / Polo Tee


I STRONGLY dont believe in spending more than RM250 for a shirt, unless if you're rich enuf or gotten urself a big fat bonus. You will tend to get bored with it after a while, and people usually remember more of what shirt u wear, compared to the other things.

All guys should have at least 2 sets of good quality WHITE dress or normal shirts. Spend a little on these as they are always in fashion and a classic, and will never go out of style. Get good quality ones, probably from a good designer, with good fabric and perfect cut. Dont buy cheap ones. Its a good investment as they will last longer. Buying plain colored shirts are also a good investment. You can wear them anytime.

Avoid : Cheap fabrics and anything under RM150

Go for : Zara Men, Massimo Dutti, and even FOS Outlet if your lucky. They have designer stuff there. Thomas Pink, Brook Brothers. Also Melium Warehouse


NEVER buy striped or squared patterned shirts from shops that sell them in bulk. Coz believe me, the next time u take the LRT to work, someone in the train might be wearing it. You dont want to share your look with others right? If the stripped shirt cost a lil somewhere RM200 and above, then its alrite. Coz not many people wud have that spending power, and some shops carry them in small quantity.

Avoid : Seed, Padini and anything like it.

Go for : Zara Men, Massimo Dutti, Thomas Pink, Brook Brothers, Banana Republic. And go reject shops or FOS outlets as well.


NEVER buy fancy tshirts from shops that sell them in bulk or on sale. BELIEVE me, the next time you go out clubbing, there will always be a faggot wearing it proudly. Try to find bargains from small shops and independent designers that carries small quantities.

Avoid : Topshop, Zara, Seed, Ck, AX etc.


Go for : Sg Wang shops, The Curve, Philosophy Men, Melium Outlet.




Belts


All men should have at least TWO belts in their wardrobe. One is a dress belt, another is a casual belt. You can also have only one belt, but a subtle silver metal head buckle with the right size, not to big, not to small belt. It can be worn with your office pants, also with your jeans. That would save alot. Spend a lil on it, as it is worn daily and its worth spending for.

Dress belt..for office wear or formals


Buckle belt for both casual and formals


NEVER buy belts that are lousy in buckle material. Dont buy belts that has the tarnish silver looking effect. It will 'cheapish' your whole attire. Try to get silver shiny ones. Shine always represents luxury. Something that's rusty looking doesnt really work. You must always ensure your belts matches your shoes. This is a rule.The material and whatever metal elements on it. I dont deny some people can be very edgy and wear loud colored belts with mismatch shoes, and wears them fabulously. Im teaching you to be safe. They're small number of those people out there. They're the male versions of Carrie Bradshaw. It matches their personality as well. Dont try to be innovative and daring tak kena pasal..you'll end up looking SCARRIE Bradshaw. Please dont.

Its worth spending a lil for leather goods. They tend to last longer and something that u rarely replace.

Avoid : ANY BELTS hanging from departmental stores.

Go for : Prada, Gucci, Hermes, Ferragamo, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana. (jgn kedekot)




Pants


Working pants are safe in black or dark blue. For more casual looking, opt for khakis. Please avoid pleated pants, your not Denny Devito. Flat fronts are good and enhances your CUP. They make your penis look bulging in your pants. Its sexy yet obscene.
Pleated pants..God forbid.

Flat fronts..slimming

Avoid : Any shops that are pricey, as long as they fit nicely with the right seam length, shud be ok.

Go for : Seed, Padini, Zara, Massimo Dutti, Woods.

Always get yourself a good pair of jeans. All men should at least have 2 pairs in their stock. U dont have to spend much on jeans, unless if u have the money to throw. The fit is really important and the seams. Please dont have that seret seluar kinda look please. Ur not DBKL to have your jeans swiping the floor. Please ensure the lenght is just nice. Please throw away your STONED WASH jeans and only go out public with your dark denim jeans. Stoned wash are worn in stone age era. Its no longer usable. DISPOSE NOW.



Avoid : Anything that has patches, torn, motifs on them unless if u have 5 plain ones at home.

Go for : Levi's, TopMan, Zara, Lee Jeans, Seven Jeans. Start with clean classics ones before venturing into ribbed or torns.




Socks

Please dont wear socks with loafers when u wear them with jeans. It looks pathetic and eye soring. Black socks are always safe. Its a rule to wear ur socks colors that matches your pants. But this is very hard for men. Such a hassle to carry your pants around the mall to get the right set of socks. Dont have to do that. Black socks are safe.





Shoes

All man should at least have TWO (I cant believe im saying this when i have god knows) pair of good quality shoes. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE spend a lil on good shoes. if you're so kedekut, then get a pair of good qualtity Moccasins. They can be worn both for work and also for casual. Please dont wear loafers to work with office pants. Its FUGLY. Please get them in good quality leather and design. DONT be ambitious by getting anything that has complicated stitchings on it. You can do with a simple black, or dark brown, good quality leather shoes. It will last long, if you get the good ones. And good ones dont come cheap. Its an investment..as it will last..and last..jangan kau pakai berlari padang plak..

Get shoes that has nice details on them. If you have 1 plain blacks, dont buy them 2. Get another with a buckle or something. It enhances your foot. For snekers, im no pro in that, coz i dont own any. If some girls only wears stilletos and no flats, i am the man who only wears mocs and loafers and no sneakers.

Loafers


Mocassins..for office or casual outings with jeans

Avoid : Anything below RM300

Go for : Anything from the reasonable Zara untill the outrageous Hermes. Gucci and Ferragamo has always been good with design and detailings. Parkson has good stuff as well.




Watches

U dont have to spend like a trillion bucks to have a piece of art on your wrist. There are watches out there that looks like a million dollars but are very reasonably priced and has the same effect. U just to have an eye for exquisiteness.

Avoid : Anything below RM500

Go for : Guess, GC, Emporio Armani, Tissot, etc.


Well, the main lesson is that, u can always fool people, looking like a million dollar fashionista,whereas people dont know that u spend so little to look good.




My summary would be:



1) U must have a good expensive looking watch, but doesnt have to be expensive.
2) Invest on expensive shoes and belts (leather goods). u dont need a whole lot of it, but everything else will fall nicely on your attire, if u have at least a good one.
3) If you're not daring enuf, just go with plain shirts or t-shirts. its subtle yet classy.
4) NEVER wear anything more than 3 COLORS in an outfit. Your not a CLOWN.

The things that i post previously in here are merely things of accessories and shoes, that are probably outrageous in price. But if u have a good eye for things that looks luxurious and tasteful, u can find something of similar look at normal shopping malls. U just need to have..TASTE..and there's no harm of dreaming..



"You dont have to spend thousands to look like me a million bucks..U can look like a million bucks..only if you have good taste and know where to get the look"
