So, we are peeking into April, and by now everyone 
has been feeling this spring spirit. There is more sunshine, the weather is getting warm, and there is this urgency to dress in brighter colors.
During fashion week there were a lot of colors and prints mixed to give ideas and get your creative thoughts going about how you wish to incorporate your style this season.
I feel like I’ve put a lot of attention on women’s fashion in previous issues. So this column will be completely dedicated to the guys, specifically the guys who have trouble with finding their own style or feeling comfortable with their style.
Now, with men there are some similarities to women, as far as having statement pieces in the spring. A guy’s statement pieces are usually his jewelry or his shoes and sometimes even a haircut. Even the simplest outfits can make a huge statement when paired with the right accessories.
Because of short sleeves in the spring, this is the time to show off that chunky Michael Kors or Movado watch. Bring out some fresh kicks or even a sleek brogue shoe.
Men typically tend to be more simplistic in the summer for many reasons, the biggest being the colors of spring. No one is going to layer up on a bunch of bright colors. You want to feel cool, comfortable, and stylish, so don’t be afraid to express yourself.
As I was saying before, guys like to show off their statement pieces in the summer, so that includes shades. My particular favorites for the past few years have been Ray Bans, because they are both stylish and reasonably priced compared to other designer frames.
There are many different pairs for many different styles, including circle frames, which give that vintage hipster look and big rectangles, which give a more classic conservative look.
Guys, we have to learn to express ourselves more. This is 2015! Although many major boundaries have been crossed this past decade with men’s fashion, I feel as though we still have a lot of work ahead of us.
As a whole guys are still afraid of expression, and this is seriously holding a lot of you back from your full potential. Don’t be afraid of wearing the color pink, fitted jeans, or floral prints. There are many different ways to dress these ideas up and give them a masculine appeal. Remember, it’s not all about what you wear, but how you wear it.
In conclusion, what I would also like to mention is that your attitude is part of your style. If you don’t feel comfortable in the clothes that you’re wearing, then maybe that look isn’t for you. Therefore, if your style is very vibrant or expressive, then your attitude should reflect that. A man’s style appeals to people more when his attitude fits the outfit.
Now in no way am I telling anyone how to act, but you must keep in mind that when you look a certain way but your clothes say differently, you tend to send mixed signals, and that takes away from your look. Have confidence in whatever you wear and show that you’re comfortable in your style.
You want to wear the clothing; you don’t want it to wear you.
