So i was speaking to my friend recently about fashion and he had asked me a question about layering and how it applied to guys... which prompted me to really think... do guys really have any fashion sense at all or they trying to compensate for something else? This edition is meant for you guys and girls to learn how to properly wear layered clothing (and for you girls to teach your man how to!)
FASHION TIP OF THE WEEK #18:
So this resurrected Guy's edition is only because it was requested. Layering for guys...
Here is the proper technique for correctly layering guys. Pay attention!
My rules:
#1- DONT WEAR THE SAME COLORS WHEN LAYERING!
#2- Faded shirts (of the same color) does NOT count! - That is very distateful.
#3- When layering, thin layers work best.
#4- Tanks over tanks are a no no
#5- Polo over polo is NOT acceptable AND the popped up collar is only acceptable if you correct neck length!
#6- Constrasting colors are important! Black on black is NEVER NEVER an acceptable look.
#7- Layer different types of fabric (for example cotton button up with a merino vest or a merino v-neck sweater)
#8- If the shirt contains stripes never never pair it up with a stripe jacket OR sweater! Solids and stripes work best when they are together... not stripe with stripe.
#9- the longer shirt SHOULD ALWAYS be bottom layer than the top one. (Exception: If the shirt is a white-beater it is okay for it be shorter or an undershirt).
#10- The whole point of layering is to show off different pieces so make sure that the under layer is showing in a significant manner.
#11- My special cardinal rule. Wear colors that matches your skin tone. Or your complextion. Few can only pull off pink or orange. Dont try unless you got the skin tone for it. Wear colors that will enhance your look in a positive aspect.
Some staple things you should layer:
_Long sleeve button ups with vests OR v-neck sweaters for a classy look.
_Polos with a "wife/white-beater" that is another color. Rich colors underneath if the polo is light and pastels/lighter colored beaters under a polo that is dark. Unbutton the polo to show off the beater. Contrast guys
_V-neck short sleeves matched with fitted long-sleeve shirts with a crew neck.
_Print-tees with (non insulting wording) with jackets. Vintage looks always great.
_Never layer denim on denim! Meaning Denim jacket with denim pants. Denim jackets are good with cargo shorts.
_Blazers are good with casual clothing...minus the shoulder pads of course.
Well that are some of the stuff that you take into consideration. Gluck fellas. and remember layering a sport jersey with long sleeve tees or a plain white short sleeve tee does NOT count! Dress for your girlfriend!
