"Not because it looks good on a window you think it will look good on you!"
Introducing myself
to you as the NEW fashion editor of GoXtra News, I am Nkosana Dakie, well, I
will be advising you on the do's and dont's on fashion, unisex fashion items.
We'll have the chance to explore fashion on a different level which is to focus
more on the street wear another excuse to have a glimpse in terms of color, the
safe bet is to stick to timeless brown/tan, or nautical tones of blue and white
– white leather shoes being Fashion Beans' pick for SS13.
However, a striking
colored pair of suede drivers/loafers will help make an instant statement,
especially when paired with a predominantly neutral palette; new trends which
will enlighten the statement Prints/Colors Prints and patterns have only just
seen a recent trend resurgence, and they are perfect for making a statement at
events that demand a heightened degree of formality.
Incorporating a print
can be tricky, but when done right will work wonders for your look. And the
most fun part we will be looking at our very own celebrities' dress sense from
that ugly fur coat Kelly Khumalo wore in a sunny day in court to that nice
tailored suit Dj S'bu owns, celebrity or not, I am out to get you and your
fashion sense.
Use caution when
wearing strapless or thin-strapped designs. This is because men naturally have
broader shoulders than women, and if you want to pull off dressing as a woman
seamlessly, opting to show your shoulders is a dead give away that you're a
man. If you must wear a strapless style, be sure to have a wrap, stole, or
jacket handy to cover up. Also, instead of wearing thin spaghetti straps,
choose wider straps that are more flattering.
Form-fitting clothing looks better than you think. It may look and feel a
little awkward at first, but deciding to wear form-fitting clothing over baggy,
relaxed styles are definitely the way to go. It creates the natural outline of
a woman's body easier, and helps you create the full illusion. Whether it be
dresses, skirts, pants or tops, clothing cut close to the body works best.
Embrace darker
colors, and be cautious with light or bold ones. Darker colors are going to
easily conceal the more masculine elements of your body, thus creating a more convincing
illusion. Lighter shades should really be worn with caution because you can't
hide anything when the color you're wearing is especially light. Bold colors
are more forgiving than light ones, but they also tend to draw a lot of
attention, so be aware before you buy.
Dress your body as though you were a woman. This basically means that the way
you dress as a man does not apply to the way you dress as a woman. You need to
know what a female body type you have, and dress it accordingly for the most
flattering look. The way to do this is to do a little research on female body
shapes and see which one you best fit into, and then style your clothing as
such.
You may think just
buying a suit and wearing it with a plain shirt and tie is all that's required
for getting dressed for business, but coordinating outfits takes a bit more
work than that. Even for casual wear, you want to get a good match of color,
fabric and style so that you always present yourself as a man of quality. Do stick
around for more fashion advice on the next article.
For most of you I'm
looking forward to advice on how to change that drab look to a great stylish
look, and to many (those who deliberately have a fashion crisis) it’s going to
be a long bumpy ride, just fasten your seat-belt and enjoy the ride.
Besides giving you fashion tips, I'll also be attending fashion shows/week(s)!
