Nike Shoes and How to Wear Them

hey y'all,
how's the holidays so far?
how's Christmas?

so, i woke up this morning and decided to just check up on the blog (well, since this blog is pretty low in traffic, i guess i need not check up on it too often or at all but i did)
i found a comment left on my OOTD post and decided to take a read...
turns out, well, Zalora approached me to have a collab with them and to write up on Nike Shoes...
as we all know, Zalora is a online fashion shopping site and when it comes to fashion, i'll be interested (albeit not having a lot of chances to be)
(wah, like big time blogger where people approach you to write)
My mission, if i were to accept it, is to write up on Nike shoes...
if you know me in person, or if i've told you before, Nike is one of my favourite brands of shoes
heck, my first branded pair of sport shoes were Nike's and i've been wearing Nike's for years since then until one fateful day where i did some spring cleaning and had to donate my shoes away leaving me with no Nike shoes... :(
but, oh well, i guess i'll get a pair when i have the chance...

now, guys,
i sometimes blog on fashion tips and today is one of those days
well, Aaron Marino from Alpha M says that you attire should start from the shoes and today, let's put that into action...
here are some suggestions on how to complement your Nike's

everyone knows that Nike's are well known for their sports line

if you're going to the gym or just shooting some hoops, you could pair your Nike's with some gym shorts or even sweat pants.
heck, if you're feeling a bit lazy but you need to go out, just slip on some Nike's and well, let's just say that your fashion points will rise

if you're going for a more casual look, one that is suited for out hot weather, you could even pair your Nike's with shorts. Bear in mind though that if you're wearing your Nike's with shorts, they should not be from the basketball shoes line. it's just not right and it doesn't fit well... trust me, i've been there... and now, Nike even has some casual looks that is comfortable to walk around with but more importantly, fashionable. pair you tan Nike's with bermudas. you could match the colors or let it be different, just play with it at your own accord... there's no biggie, just experiment and see...

you could even take your Nike's indoors. wear them to class or even in the office for casual Fridays. pair them with dark jeans or even chinos... as for your top, you could go a little less casual by putting on a polo t-shirt, a button up, sweaters or just any type of top you would wear in the office... however, Nike's walk a fine line between casual and formal and you need to be fashion savvy to be able to walk that line and not cross over...



below is a quick guide on what to pair which type of shoes with provided by Business Insider

so, with that in mind, head on to Zalora and check out their Nike Shoes Collection and expand your wardrobe for the coming year...

Happy New Year and May 2015 Be Awesome

BEDA #24 - 5 Male Fashion Must Haves

BEDA #24
Date: 29th April 2013

I'VE BEEN SUPER BEHIND SCHEDULE!!!
SORRY!!!!
(but it's not like you miss me or anything)

since i'll have to out a series of posts to catch up,
i'll write on something i like...
FASHION...
but since there's so many female fashion stuff around,
today, i'm gonna speak on male fashion
and i will start with 5 Must-haves for Every Guy

1. a black tie

As every lady needs to have her black dress, every men should have his black tie. You could (almost) never go wrong with a plain black neck tie. It's a classic and will compliment any patterns that may come as it is not loud and would work together with your shirt. Alternatively, a white tie would be good to have as well. These two colors would (usually) not clash with other colors and patterns as they're very neutral.

2. a blazer

A blazer is a must have for every guy (especially young guys). The materials may not matter much and a piece of blazer could change your whole look in a instant. By putting on a blazer on top of your average t-shirt and jeans and you will look more classy. A blazer could also change your daytime look to a night time look in an instant. Also, a blazer would do wonders on your date nights to add a bit of class to your attire. Warning however, no slippers or flip flops. If you're in shorts, go for loafers as slippers and flip flops are a  definite no no to a classy attire.

3. a pair of good shoes

It doesn't matter whether their sport shoes or dress shoes, shoes are a must. No one wants to see your toes and (maybe) ugly, dirty toenails. As mentioned above, a pair of slippers or flip flops are a definite no no to a classy attire. Plus, wearing those would definitely lower your style-meter. The only places you could wear them would be around your house of by the beach. Whatever it is, closed shoes all the way.

4. a pair of good jeans

Need I say more. A pair of good jeans is a definite must have for guys. Know your measurements and the type of jeans that best shows your shape. If you have big thighs (like me), forget about those slim fit jeans. It'll look horrendous.  Jeans could work for most occasions and they are comfortable to wear.

5. a plain white piece of buttoned shirt

The classic, white shirt. It's a must have for every guy. You can still have your striped or checkered, but do have a piece of plain white shirt with good fitting. In a way, plain pattern or no patterns are classy and would almost never go wrong. Also, it would be good to have a plain black shirt as well. As mentioned above, white and black are neutral colors and would not clash with any other color.

yours truly,

J
