Fashion revolves, what makes the difference is Style. You've probably said 'Hey! I love your style' to someone at one point or the other, that's because something struck you about that person. Style is a manner of doing something, it is unique and distinctive, it's a way of expression, it is communication, it is creativity. If I buy 2 Tom Ford suit pieces and give them to 2 different people, they most likely won't wear 'em the Same way, that difference there is their personal style. I think the most important part of being fashionable is reflecting your personal style in what you're wearing. It's not until you've spent a fortune buying the most expensive designer labels that you are fashion forward, most times it's not entirely about what you're wearing but How you're wearing it. I'm supposed to talk about a couple of my work lol so here we go :)
Look 1 - In this look I tried a bit of layering and earthly colours basically because the collection is called 'Gray summer'. A brown overcoat, carton brown trousers rolled up, a grey waistcoat, white shirt, coffee brown boots and hat. Not shouty at all.
Look 2 - Next is an ideal dapper look. This one was for a magazine cover actually and the theme was Power and Class. Black three piece suit, correspondents and wine details. Rather monochrome with a dash of colour.
Look 3 - This was at the blue carpet for Elite model Look a month back. It's monochrome, white and black three piece, white and black zebra print shirt, correspondents. An oversized Bowtie would also go very well with this outfit.
Look 4 - Collection shoot. My Hat in hand look Lol in this case a boater hat. Floral prints and faded jeans. It's a rather causal look still with a touch of class as well.
