Checks

"Summer tartans and checks provide an alternative to the louder tropical prints for ss12. Available in the subtle hues of neutrals, eye popping brights or in a monochrome palette, checks adorn lightweight overcoats, shirts and suits galore." - Swide

Here is one of the classic that never dies. :) They never fail to impress us, may it be for formal or casual getup. Checks or what we commonly call them as Checkered, nowadays come in different shades, from monochromatic and bright ones. This another way to have a stylish and fashionable summer and spring, you pair it with white pants then an undershirt then hit the beach; then for night out pair it with blazer then party all night long. This classic look is easy to mix and match. Hence, if you are a person who is also on the go and tend to have less time to think what to wear, you can always resort to this and it will not surely fail you!

What I love for Checks is that they come in different colors, and I am eyeing for those bright one because it is young and fresh. they are really good for Summer and Spring.

Dress to kill.

P.S. Don't be a fashion victim

Suede

Why Suede is back in fashion

They kicked the door open for Britpop. So how come we stopped listening to Suede? Krissi Murison catches up with her teenage heartthrobs and hears why we are due for a summer of Suede."Soft and tactile suede made a real statement on the Milan/Paris ss12 catwalks. Offered in understated neutrals or soft hued colours, suede jackets really honed in on the relaxed feel to the season’s fashion." -Swide

What is Suede?

"SUEDE is a type of leather with a napped finish, commonly used for jackets, shoes, shirts, purses, furniture and other items...Suede leather is made from the underside of the skin, primarily lamb, although goat, pig, calf and deer are commonly used." -Wikipedia

Suede looks very expensive and exquisite; and in terms of its tailoring, you got to be clean and meticulous. Since Suede does not include the tough exterior skin layer, It is less durable but softer than standard leather. Its softness, thinness, and pliability make it suitable for clothing and delicate uses. Like the other sets, you can still feel comfortable and relaxed.

Cropped Pants

What are Cropped Pants?

"Cropped pants are jeans, trousers, or capris that aren't full length. These short pants styles may end just below the knee or at the upper or mid calf. Capri cropped pants may end anywhere on the calf. Capris were named after the Isle of Capri on Italy's Amalfi Coast where they were first worn. Crop pants became very popular in the United States in the 1950s; they were known as clam diggers or pedal pushers." -wiseGEEK

Continuing with the new proportions trend, ss12 catwalks in Milan/Paris were stomped by models in ankle cropped trousers. Reminiscent of the 1950s mod subculture these tapered pants are perfect for an alternative summer formal look. -Fashionising

Cropped pants are already trending last year, but they are still stealing the spot light for the hottest trends for 2012 this Spring and Summer. The cropped pants conveys you to be more relaxed and comfortable. What I like about it is you can change your getup from one style to another, without others noticing it. You can wear them in many ways and it depends on your discretion. :D haha You can pair them with a Military Jacket, Blazers and Formal top and even basic tees.

Innovative crop design makes the men stripes pants cool, handsome and outstanding. Professional and classy, this fashionable crop pants will have you working is style. The crop pants are perfect for ceremony, theatrical productions. Conveniently, its range spans work, business, evening, and other activities. Men stripes crop pants will surely make you stand out from the crowd! You can feel the freedom of movement for yourself! Don't miss them!

Remember, Live Free and Embrace Fashion and Style

Lots of love

Sunbleached Neutrals

At last!!! I was able to finish my 2012 Spring Summer Collections for Men.

Here are the hottest trends for Spring and Summer for the year 2012; brought to you by famous designers all over the world. During the Fashion Shows, runways are awash by colors and prints that give you the real feeling of summer and spring. Innovative reinterpretation of traditional materials such as leather and net are one of the hottest trends for this year. Hence, what is evident in the evolution of fashion for 2012 is the architectural innovations of reworking what is the traditional to a straight forward high fashion flavor.

However, because of an apparent reason, I have to review each set per day. In that way, we can appreciate each of them and review them better.

My Fashion Trendsetter for today on the SS12 Men's Trends is: SUN-BLEACHED NEUTRAL

Linen and cotton sand-hued separates graced the Milan/Paris catwalks lending the season an easy chic mood. A perfect accompaniment to that Mediterranean tan, summer neutrals are all the rage.

If you wanna have the easy way to have a chic mood in you, wear neutral color clothing. Sometimes, when people say that wearing neutral color clothing makes the impression of dullness and boring. Let's erase that impression, because wearing gray or neutral colors actually gives sophistication and chicness, at the same time you are comfortable.

During springs and summer, you don't have to wear all the colors of the rainbows or be colorful as the color wheel. Wearing Neutrals during Spring and Summer does not make you odd or out-of-place, because these colors are actually good during these time. Remember, wearing dark clothes during Summer and Spring will make you feel more sweaty and warm.

Hence, if you're always on-the-go and tend to have little time to think on what to wear this Summer and Spring, you can actually pull out some neutral color clothing from your closet and be ready to hit the road. Don't be afraid to wear neutral, you can be chic and fashionable even with these kind of clothing :D

Azure

I'll be attending the Christmas Party of my mom's office, and yet I don't know what to wear for that day. My mom told me that women are going to be in RED, while men are going to be in GREEN. So here is what I envision what I want to wear, and hopefully be wearing similar with these items or outfits. Most of my clothes are blue in shades; I don't know why, but I just love them. That might explain why my outfit here are more dominant in blue shade than green. I just want the green color incorporated to my outfit and I don't want it to be the domineering one.

Prep me up

First of all, I was shocked that Polyvore has actually men's stuff. The first time I saw Polyvore, its all girly outfits and accessories, so I never thought that I could find these interesting stuff here.

You might be wondering how I knew about this. I was actually going trough other websites, then out of curiosity, I thought of whether Polyvore has an alter ego for Men's Fashion. To my surprise, Polyvore is not only for girls but also for boys. So to all male fashion lovers out there,Polyvore does not only cater women's desire for fashion but also for us.

Moving on, I tried putting up my first collection and after an hour or so, I was able to finish it. I really had a hard time furnishing my look and it was really a challenge for me to finish it, because in the middle of the process, I was actually losing patience and hope. So, I am proud to present to you my collection and I would love to wear and have these stuffs in my closet.

So my collection's name is Prep me up, since I am kind of a preppy person in style.
