What to Wear on the Beach for Men

Yes, our blog is for everyone which in this case, extends to men as well! Let's begin with our first post for men's fashion! :)

Okay so, men need to know sometime what to wear to the beach too. They want to know what is in style and what makes them look trendy just as much as women do when they are headed to the beach. Men and the way they dress does matter in society. If you are a single man looking for a woman, then this is a quick guide for you. Being single and finding the right girl doesn't just begin at the 'flirting stage,' it also starts with dressing in the appropriate attire for the appropriate occasion. Even at the beach, a man needs to look their best. Even though they may look sexy with a six pack or something to that degree, they still should come looking good in clothing because not all 'skin-wear' can look attractive. If you follow what is being said here, you should understand that you do not go around all your life in your birthday suit. Sorry but unless you live in a nudist colony (which I have nothing against by the way), you should look both attractive in clothing as well as in your skin. If you forgot already, I am talking to men here but some of this stuff is the same for women. Anyway, married men should follow this too because they shouldn't be too revealing. In this sense, if you don't want attraction from other women and you are married with kids or even without, then wear clothing that doesn't say, 'stare at me...' Wear stuff that makes you comfortable yet covered up. You will want to be dressed to your best even at an event such as the beach.

Enough of the pep talk for now, let's move on...

What to Wear on the Beach by kryptonitesmile featuring Oakley

Here are some really good styling options that are modern for the Summer of 2014 for men. 

Many men's swim trunks today are long and are either printed or solid in colour. Some short swim trunks are in style too but one that is able to cover at least below the the new is what is being worn today. Being a woman, I personally like the look of longer swim trunks on a male. They just look more decent from my perspective. And again, you can add a 'baseball top' with your swim trunk look or a 'skater top' which looks good as well. Accessories such as glasses look amazing. They just add that beachy vibe along with your look whether you are on the beach or not. And footwear, this is important. If you are headed to the beach, you do not need to wear just sandals. Tennis shoes or manly sneakers are perfect if you pair them up just right. Shoes don't really matter actually when you are on the beach because you take them off either way usually. Just pair some footwear with your look is all I'm trying to say here!

So, I had a lot to type for you men and some women out there but there is so much to say. I forgot half the things I was going to say to you all but I forgot so you can take a deep breath and sigh of relief! LOL! I hope this helps you for the beach. 

Have fun and enjoy the beach now! :D 

Styling Skater Skirts

Skater skirts are so much fun! And for 2014, they got even more funner! (Yes, 'funner' is a word!) Because they are so tight, any shirt looks good with them, and you know, they just scream 'girly!' Styling them in 2014 has become simple yet defined. Below are some looks.

Denim has become a trend in the skater skirt. They are simple yet can be styled in so many ways.

Accessories do matter when styling this look, believe it or not! Shoulder bags are great! A necklace works well. Try to play around a bit when styling your skater skirt! Adding just one piece to your look can freshen things up a bit!

You may want to consider wearing a Utilitarian shirt with your skirt; as in the gray shirt on the right.

Darker coloured skirts or denim have really shown up around the skater skirt 'trend-line' recently. Also, for Skater Dresses, lace has become trending as well!

The Skater Skirt Look List for 2014
-Style solids with prints for a bold look!
-A bun in your hair is a great look with the skater skirt. 
-Pair some simple boots with your skater skirt.
-The right pair of sunglasses can be added. 

 Remember for that fun, fresh look, a solid colour should be worn with a print, especially for 2014. Have fun styling this cute and girly look! :)

Is Velvet Making a Come Back?

A while ago, I saw a girl wearing a velvet dress. She paired it with black tights and black boots, which are trending big-time right now! Not sure if velvet was making a come back or becoming a trend again, I decided I would do some research!

For 2014, velvet can be worn modernly just as that beautiful girl had styled that dress. It was a simple outfit and looked very 'fresh' and 'new.'

Below are some ways velvet dresses can be worn today! 

These dresses are so beautiful and are so very versatile. 

Other ways to wear velvet garments:

These are great for the upcoming winter to spring transition. The velvet shorts add so much and add an extra touch to that tan, light-fitted sweater. A floral blouse peaking out under the sweater just assures us all that spring is for surely on it's way! ✿

Boots have been a huge trend in the recent months and not just because of the autumn and winter. The versatility of them lets you add them to any outfit and shows off a twist of comfort and vintage style. Maybe try to pair a velvet boot with an outfit to add creativity. Both of the pictures above show a side of vintage style as well. 

As I see it, velvet today will not hit the fashion market widespread. Searching on internet, there wasn't much to find for modern fashion. If you feel otherwise about velvet becoming a trend again, don't be shy about commenting! If you want to wear velvet, it will provide a look of vintage style. You will have to put the outfit together yourself though with pieces as there aren't many choices for velvet these days. Making it into modern style is all on you! 

Now, for some red velvet cake...
