Men Must Read, Ladies Inform your man

Most men hate shopping, as a woman I don't get that so us ladies are confused about men's outfits...
Men, we're not saying that you don't look attractive in your t-shirts and your athletic shorts or pants.. we're just saying that when we see you out with all your friends or when you take us on a date.. we want you to try to look a little nicer. You don't have to go out and shop for hours like ladies do, you can pick out a few key items that will really impress that ladies. And you're really not putting in that much effort!

I know some of you guys are worried about looking too fashionable and coming off as feminine, but don't worry, we love a man who can dress well.

Plain V-Necks or tees are always nice looking with dark jeans. Collared shirts also look nice too. You can add a belt, if you want to, and some casual shoes and you have a simple, good outfit. Plus, it shows off your muscles! When i say plain, i just mean something that isn't too overly patterned or lots of graphics.

A button-up and some dark jeans, and nice kicks will do the trick. You can wear the shirt tucked in for a more sophisticated look or untucked for more of a relaxed look. As for shoes, sperry's or similar looking shoes are a great choice. They are nice looking yet casual enough to wear with your jeans. I know you are all wondering why dark jeans, well it's because they look more flattering on the body. You can have a couple pairs or dark jeans, several colors of plain v-necks or tees, and different styles of button ups and you are set! When it starts getting colder outside you can also use these clothes as basics and just add a jacket or sweater on top!

Lots of Leather, Fall is Near


Fall is Almost here! So it's time to stock up on some leather essentials!

Leather is just fantastic! You can wear it so many ways and it can edge up your outfit. You can pair leather with something girly, simple, or even chic. Leather is definitely a must-have for any fall season.

Leather Leggings

You can pair leather leggings with just about anything. Oversized sweaters, button-ups, cute tees, plain tees, V-necks, take your pick. It's an easy way to make an outfit, and an edgy one at that. 
cannottt wait for winter/fall clothes
Love this sweater!!

If you are scared to try the leather trend in full swing, leggings with leather panels are a great way to start, or my new obsession; sweaters with leather elbow patches.

Leather jackets are always a must during the fall season. Great way to beat the brisk cool weather and still look cute! There's so many styles, studded jackets, cropped jackets, biker jackets, and even vests! Not to mention, there's always fun new colors every year. The traditional colors; black, charcoal gray, and brown are the easiest to pair with outfits, but I hope to be seeing some of you rocking some red leather jackets at the Razorback games this season! 


You can put one of these leather vests over a trendy top to create an edgy look!




Leather Shorts & Skirts

You can wear the leather trend right now while it's still warm outside. You can pair shorts or skirts with cute tops. When it starts to get cooler out you can even put some tights under them so you can continue to wear this trend.




Finally.. My favorite type of leather.. BOOTS! I love them. Tall boots that come up all the way to your mid-thigh, knee-high boots, and ankle boots. They all look super cute with so many different outfits, and you can wear them dressed up or down. Theres so many colors too; Charcoal gray, tan, dark brown, and black.







Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.       -Alexander McQueen

Remember, fashion is fun and a way to express yourself, i encourage you all to wear the trends, but dont feel like you have to conform, wear the trend in a new way and become a trendsetter!


I hope you all have a wonderful week! Beat BAMA!!
