A Short Suit Ensemble!!!

Wearing :

Short Suit : Zara

Floral Tee : Zara

Orange Socks : H&M

Loafers : Maison Martin Margiela

Following my previous post where you have seen me wearing the shorts alone during my trip to Vietnam but actually I bought it as one piece which is a trend in menswear last season, basically the ensemble looks like a normal suit from the waist up, with a casual shirt or a button up as your inner. Instead of trousers, however, the suit's bottoms are cropped at the knee.

Joy over Jumpsuit?

Wearing

Jumpsuit : Zara Women
Eye wear : Emporio Armani
Accessories : Mango
Black Dress Shoes : Zara
Watch : Versace Chronograph

Lately, I have been hooked up with jumpsuits and all-in-ones and started scoping for it. In Abu Dhabi where I am based, it is very seldom to find this kind of clothing specifically designed for men not unless you worked in a construction site or any other field where it is considered as part of their uniform.

For the love of Kimono!!!

Wearing:

Kimono Top : Zara Women
Tank Top : H&M

After that recently concluded Europe trip which I am gutted as I wasn't able to take decent photos (the disadvantage of traveling solo) but I can't complain, I had an amazing time...

How to wear a Flannel Shirt?

As you have probably noticed from my last style post three weeks ago, I am also wearing a plaid shirt or flannel shirts which is one of my favorite fashion staples of all time.

Keep it Solid with Plaid!!!

Keeping it casual with a plaid pattern top and a jeggings completes my lazy day look!!! and that also reflects how I am feeling today - as I am trying to contemplate on what to write, I just couldn't think of better things to say so I'll keep this article simple - I just want to share to you guys my ideal casual clothing.

Wardrobe Essential : Ft. The Biker Jacket

Biker jacket comes in different forms, either faux or leather - this jacket remains a cool classic. I'm really glad that I'm still able to showcase this wardrobe staple in spite of the unpredictable weather in UAE. 

Holiday Rush!!!

With barely less than a week before the boxing day, the influx of people going to the malls are rapidly increasing - some are taking advantage of avoiding traffic during rush hours, long queue in stores particularly for those outlets having "BIG SALES", whilst others are now busy on their shopping list and making sure that they have everything for the Christmas day - unfortunately in my case - it looks like there is no big rush that is going to happen. Not only that I did cut down from my expenses, I am also saving some for my upcoming vacation which is fast approaching...pretty ecstatic!!!

Since we were avoiding rush places like Abu Dhabi Mall and Marina Mall , my fellow blogger cum photographer, Miggy and I decided to walk through the nearby Mall which is called The Galleria - Abu Dhabi's finest and luxurious mall located in Al Maryah island.  There's magnificent views across the waterfront and the city's landscape showing the true glamour of the metropolis!!! What an awesome place in the region!!!

I would truly recommend this spectacular place for those haven't been in this part of the city - it is for you to explore and find out what this place could offer!!!! In the meantime, please enjoy the sightings below;

Modern Preppy Look!!!

The preppy look is basically a neat, well-balanced, put-together look that can be achieved by combining the right colors, patterns, and accessories. Over time, preppy fashion has evolved from a classic and simple look into a modern and quirky style. Looking preppy is more than just throwing a pastel polo and a boat shoes - it is emanating the aura and attitude of specific liberty lifestyle

How to look modern preppy? Here are some possible pieces to consider which I also wore during our outdoor shoot;

• Polo shirts or Oxford shirts (replaced with a plaid button up polo)
• cable knit vest (not on my wardrobe list)
• cricket sweaters (replaced with a striped pullover)
• chino pants (light green cotton chinos)
• tassel brogue loafers (my favorite mustard color)
• baseball cap (coach it is!)

I hope you guys like my version of preppy style'

Wardrobe Weeding is the key!!!

I have been very active on my posts recently and often times, you’ll find me showcasing my #OOTD’s or simply sharing you my #fashionspirations  (fashion inspirations outfits) either in Lookbook, Facebook or mostly in Instagram. By doing so – it also means different types of clothing’s needed!!! This is where my frustrations comes in place- The most dreadful part in choosing the clothes to wear is either I feel that the clothes is too small on my size (blame it on the extra pounds I gained!!! Grrrr!!!) or that feeling where you think you have “nothing to wear “ when you actually have a full wardrobe of clothes

I get it , sometimes we were blinded by all these enticing "SALES" we saw in the mall and most of us ended up buying things that are just kept “on hangers” – items that are not liked, does not fit properly or perhaps bought on a caprice –impulsive buyers like me can totally relate to this!!!

Then, I started to experiment my mode of dressing – de-clutter those pieces so I could see the true potential of what I have in my closet, only identify pieces that I can still be of used and filter out the rest and voila!!!! I would have never imagined that the outcome is excellent!

Think about this cropped pullover (see photo below) which I got from women's section in H&M which took me one year before I could finally used it as a layering piece for this super chic custom fit white button up which I also worn once

After clearing out my closet - I feel confident that the next time I open my walking wardrobe ( haha!! ) I am going to see something nice and are useful for my kind of style!!!

Details of today's outfit :

Cropped Pullover : H&M

Tattered Jeans : Zara

Burgundy Combat Boots : H&M

Plain Button-up : Iconic

There you have it folks:), I hope you find this post a little helpful in weeding your closet, always remember your style is unique - let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others" - Anna Wintour

Sports Luxe Style ft. Fashion Trainer!!!

Think about vests, bomber jackets and hi-top trainers/sneakers for a wearable look with the spirit of strenuosity. It's no secret that sportswear is making a big hit nowadays, everyone seemingly tossing around the term "sports luxe" banging all the way

What I love about this look is its modern, comfy and cool. Alexander Wang, to name a few have been the pioneer of the sports luxe trend and he has recently launched his sports pieces collaboration with H&M last Nov 6th which I happened to missed. (feeling gutted)

"nuff" said - Here is my version of sport's luxe style featuring my all time fave Maison Martin Margiela Le Trompe Hi Top sneakers;

with a cooling temperature now in the desert - there is no better time to embrace the sports luxe trend. The "on the go" look for an effortless yet fashionable appearance!!!

Details of today's outfit:

Bomber Jacket: Zara

Leggings : H&M

Eye wear : Emporio Armani

Sneakers : Maison Martin Margiela

I hope you like my version of sports luxe style, for inquiries and collaboration, please drop me a note at roymenor2680@yahoo.com

Street Style Look: Inspired by You!

Do you wear a boyfriend jeans?

boyfriend jeans are women's jeans that are designed to fit the body loosely, as though they have been borrowed from a woman's boyfriend. These jeans are typically casual and may be distressed in some manner. 


Nowadays a lot of men have embraced wearing a boyfriend jeans - also a great alternative from wearing a skinny jeans...more loose fittings and slouchy!

Details of Today's Outfit:

Eye wear :  Chanel

Accessories : H & M

Pull over : Zara Women

Jeans : Zara Women

Boots : Bershka

Boy in Skirt?

When we think about men wearing skirt, we often think it is only being worn by either drag queens or simply casual transvestites however in some country, this is part of their traditional clothing.Men in India wear dhotis or lungis and those in Sri Lanka and other countries wear sarongs. Traditional dress for Greek men includes a fustanella, which is a short flared cotton skirt, perfect for the exuberant dances of the nation. Middle Eastern men wear caftans and Pacific Islanders wear a lava-lava, which is similar to a sarong.

Unexpected fashion choices by men are starting to be accepted and seen in mainstream fashion. Skirted garments for everyone were the norm for almost two millennium. There is no reason why they shouldn't be again. So here I am, wearing a hitched up skirt from Maison Martin Margiela and I am simply lovin it...
