The rolled up trousers

Walking through the hallways of the school suddenly thinking whether the guys of your school went to a growth spurt... But no, the rolled up trousers is more than back and not only the guys at schools are wearing it. Celebrities, artists, men in suits, teenage boys are falling victim to this latest trend in Men's Fashion. Personally I find it absurd, a less-than-flattering look. While the rolling up of your pants was already popular in London in 2009, we still need to get used to this bizarre trend. Do we think it is manly enough?

Many shoe stores already have adapted their fall collection to this trend.

The 'boat-shoes' and the laces are back on the shelves!

But IF rolling up your pants, you've got to do it the right way. Roll the pants just above your ankle (don't make the rolled part of the pants too 'big'!!). Make sure that you only roll up your pants whenever wearing a nice pair of jeans or a skinny. Wear a shirt or blouse above it, and stop the ends in your pants, some nice lace shoes underneath it and you guys can hit the streets! However mind your socks, two different socks, or socks with Looney Tunes prints are not what you call very charming ...

"Grr" What about the animal prints?

The shops are bulking with animal printed clothes, shoes, bags, umbrellas and so on. Every object you possibly can dream about is available in the one of the many animal prints. Zebra, leopard, panther, tiger, snake, crocodile ... the stores continue to pass animal prints. And the celebs continue wearing animal prints.

What do you guys think about these animal prints? Hot or not?

The shocking thin body of Karlie Kloss

Last week the Italian Vogue revealed the photos of the (almost) nude shoot with the nineteen year-old american Karlie Kloss. Her super musculed body led to a lot of contravery. Vogue has decided to remove the most extreme pictures from their website. The visitors wondered wheter the body of Kloss was both thin and muscular, or photoshop might have addapted those effects. Though the Vogue removed the most extreme pictures, I found the complete shoot: 

The aformentioned photo

The video below, however, shows clearly that the Karlie's muscles are 100% natural.
Do you think she's suffering from anorexia or is she just having a healthy lifestyle?

 

Crossing the border line

The fashion world is embracing the transsexuals like they did in the 60s and 70s. The difference now is that mystery has been replaced with empowerment, even pride. Consider a few happenings:

The Japanese Vogue Hommes revealed its new male model; Jo Calderone,
who was, in actually, Lady Gaga. 

The public is much more aware of the possibilities of transgender people existing and taking part as leaders in the social and cultural life. "They are always going to be people who don't fit into boxes," said Victoria Kolakowski, who was elected a superior court judge in Alamenda Country, California. 

"What we consider to be normal is evolving and changing.
That frightens many people, but it's the nature of our times."

Moonlighting fashionistas dabbling in cross-dressing have surely helped advance the transsexual image, but the real strides in 2010 were made by the actual transsexuals and those who define themselves on a spectrum of gender rather more than simply male or female. The clearest example of this was the arrival of the transsexual model Lea T.

Fashion trends like the 'boyfriend jeans' and the 'male suits' are signs of the 'male revolution' on women. Will at the end, all women dress up like men? What will happen to the femininity? And men? Will they appear in sexy lingerie, attractive red lips with smokey eyes? Maybe we don't even sense a change in society because all the above mentioned is going to become normal..

Should the "rules" of fashion be the same everywhere?

Can you imagine this on the streets? 

Absolute don'ts for Fall 2011

Men used to have the habit of trying to make the most ridiculous combinations with the clothes they will find the fastest or are the easiest to put on or the most comfortable ones. They don't refine their outfits with their personal creations and don't mind little details. However details are the creatures that MAKE your outfit. What are the worst fashion blunders a man can make? I listed some for you below:

- Their pants are too long or too short
- With socks in their (mostly open) shoes
- All different kind of patterns combined
- Their tie is too long or too short
- The waist of their trousers is too high or too low
- Dirty shoes, while they are supposed to be neatly
- Too many  layers of clothing

These facts are some facts about the fashion behavior in general. Most men know they are not allowed to wear socks in sandals, or to wear a pants which is too short. But what about the more fashionable men? Do they know what is absolutely not done this fall? No matter how many must-have merchandise picks we make, it's impossible to dress right if you don't know what you're doing wrong. These are the four seasonal style mistakes you're bound to fall into this autumn - unless, of course, you learn how to avoid them. 

Drab-coloured sweaters 

While the economy was in a slump, designers turned out the lights on colour. The name of the game was grey scale, and it has aptly appeared on catwalks during Fashion Weeks for the last couple of years. But indictors are bouncing back, and so is the palette of bold, deep shades of red, purple and green. They're not just for warmer weather anymore. 

Shapeless coats 

Coats are the season's most easily observable offence. Squared silhouettes, bulky insulation and overgrown hemlines only serve to make you look hefty, and in the worst cases, possibly homeless. The quick fix: keep an eye out for shearling-lined jackets that are cut close to the body and cropped at the waist. 

Pointy boots 
After witnessing boots pointy enough to poke an eye out earlier, we've begun a return to the rounded edges of classic footwear. Remember the Dr. Martens? Well, they're back, and when worn right, they're better than ever! 

Citrus scents 

Men tend to get happy when it comes to cologne. That's why we're big fans of lighter fragrances with hints of lemon and lime. But when temps dip, it's necessary to make a switch to a firmer fragrance.
