Day 43. Brown Brogues
Another Menswear essential.
Works especially well with black or navy. Sockless should also be tried.
Polish and treat leather and it should last you a lifetime.
peace.

Day 42. Army Green
Right we all know that living in the urban jungle requires alot. Especially in the fashion arena - sometimes when everyone is shouting at the top of their lungs in vibrant hues - the ones that stand out the most are often those making the least.
A great way to recharge and plan an style ambush on those out their is to psych them out by laying low for a day or two. Yes people I'm going somewhere with this.
Instead of wearing your trademark skinnies - go for a mono approach. Think Army. Think camouflage. Look to foliage and nature for the winning strategy.
Here I have thrown together a pair of ripped moss rinsed baggy jeans, a basic round neck fitted t shirt, upped the stakes with two-tone scarf - accent colour is beige and a deep-fill military inspired hat.
I said lay low - not play dead - accessorise it up.
Don't be afraid to throw in some muddy browns either.
Attack.
peace.

Day 41. The PoCoDot!
Dedicated to Torah!
Yearning to be liberated from ladies wear only - this little dot has made it mainstream and into the wardrobes of boys.
It's a bold statement to make and you have to ensure you don't look like a clown - but if you get it right you will be the most stylish man in the room.
You can also interpret this trend in many other ways - if you aren't brave enough to rock too much.
Opt for a scarf, hat, belt or even some gloves - you don't need to overhaul - just update with niche pieces. No need to look like a Dalmatian wannabe.
I've paired this baby with a pair of khaki flat fronts and a cardigan for an afternoon look - or be more dramatic and pair with white skinny jeans, brown belt and patent leather brown brogues.

Day 40. Harry Potter Glasses
Round glasses are back!
Looking back I realise - I've been quite the fashionista in the past!
Nostalgia is back. Round frames are now being reintroduced and it is only to be worn by the brave.
It adds an instant element of 'awkwardness' yet 'quirky - inteligencia' to offset any outfit. (or just plain cuteness)
peace.

Day 39. Coral
No colour is more enticing that Cool Coral.
Not quite pink, not quite orange - just the right mixture of a juicy ripe papaya to make anyone's mouth water.
This colour works well with all skin tones and shapes and can be used as a statement item or just to add an accent.
The best is to buy a lightweight merino wool specimen that can be worn on its own during the day and then just fling a blazer over it for an evening look. Or pair with white jeans, blue shirt and draped across your shoulders for that fresh 'just off the beach look'.
peace.
