Might most of you aren’t that fond of wearing those basic clothes for your daily errands. But to others these finds were fine and can actually pull off the total style. Actually, for today’s men fashion basic styling and clothes are the hottest because they’re the usual comfortable and with the proper mix and matches it can definitely turns good as long you’d know the right pieces for you. You can actually check out East Dane Shop for the list of basic items that you might use as you pleased or at least wanting to try this kind of fashion styling.

Actually, when it comes to my own fashion statement, I really prefers basics whether for my casual and formal wears. Though it is great if you could wear off those high-ed clothing for certain occasions or events and yet I think basics were the most safe to wear especially now that people were fascinating to “normcore” fashion where they can turn the basic clothing into finest ones. I think this kind of fashion were gone started in Australia that slowly evades even the asian market, hence we better try it on now because it might gone big soon – to the fashion scene.

How to Enhance Your ‘Overall’ Look

Inspired by the trends of 70s, the fashion of 2015 is all about bedazzling retro styles with a fresh and edgy look. And among those there is one trend that has become a staple thing for all the lovers of fashion. Overalls (jumpsuits, dungarees and playsuits) we are talking about. They are definitely a hit this season and who knows they might stay a bit longer. With so many styles flooding the market, it seems that there is one for every girl. For summers, there are overalls in solid colors, floral and lacy patterns made in denim and Lycra fabric with skinny, slouchy and ripped styles ranging in different lengths. While the overalls with sleeves give a more formal look, the ones with straps are a great choice for cool urban style. Choose leather ones for a sophisticated look and make a style statement. While buying any type of overall dress, make sure you get the right fit and length for yourself depending on your body type.

Whether it is a party, a casual meeting, a romantic date or an adventure trip, just slip into your stylish one-piece outfit and you are done. But wearing overalls can be a little tricky as you would not want to look like a dowdy person. Fret not, here are some really easy ways that will help you get that dapper personality effortlessly.

Keep it Casual

Sport your outfit with a tee, shirt or spaghetti and a pair of funky shoes for that casual street style look. Roll up the hems to reveal your tomboy-chic side.

Crop Your Look

Crop tops are sultry and are already one of the popular trends now. They are a versatile outfit that can go with your denims, high-rise pants, skirts and even with your jumpsuits or dungarees. Opt for a slider footwear to keep your overall look smart and stylish.

Balance the Masculine Effect

Wearing your jumpsuit, dungaree or a playsuit with frilly or lacy tops adds to your feminine look, making you look less tomboyish. A pair of cute ballerinas or stilettos is a great idea to complete the look.

Bundle Up in Winters

Pairing your one-piece with a sweatshirt or a sweater underneath is a great option for winters. Or you can choose to wear a knit top inside with a long woolen blazer or a stylish cardigan over your jumpsuit to stay warm and stylish. Another simple way is to layer up your outfit with a killer jacket.

Unlike plain and strappy overalls, their printed and sleeved versions just need the right accessorizing as they allow you to play with your look using hats, clutches, chunky accessories and trendy footwear like gladiators, pointed heels or sneakers.

What’s Fashionable This Summer

Outfits during the summer are often simple. Many men are satisfied with wearing the usual T-shirts and shorts. However, you can actually make your summer clothes more interesting and thus become more stylish even in very hot weather. Menswear is seeing a resurgence of a fuller, more masculine cut for clothing which is ideal for hot summers. Wear clothes that have a more relaxed fit. Short-sleeve shirts are appropriate and they should finish at mid-bicep and should fit you through the shoulders and chest. Another clothing item that is fashionable is popover shirts which comes in all kinds of colors and patterns and can be worn with shorts and jeans.

Summer is often associated with shorts and swimwear. You do not have to always wear lousy ones but instead try tailored shorts in cotton. As for footwear, sandals and flip flops are definitely the way to go. Wear a pair that is comfortable and of course simple yet fashionable. Wearing socks is a no-no. Keep in mind that during summer, clothes, footwear, and accessories should always be comfortable to wear, colorful, fun, and trendy.
