CANADIAN TUXEDO : DENIM ON DENIM

Yes, there is a term such as 'Canadian Tuxedo'. No, I didn't make it up. Translated into simple terms, it refers to pairing Denim with Denim. Dont let the mention of that combination evoke images of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake anymore. Denim on denim has come a long way since that. In fact, this is trend which has always been there and has only evolved with the years.

So I decided to feature this trend on my blog, when I began my series on Men's Fashion. being a Fashion Blogger, I should not restrict myself to just Women's Fashion, should I?! Doesn't make sense. Especially when I have such a hot clotheshorse with a super enviable closet, right at home. Yes, this is the MAN, who is mentioned in all of my posts, oh so subtly. He has made appearances on the restaurant review posts, but this is his solo debut in fashion post. It took a lot of convincing to have him agree to be photographed for the blog.

Can we have a round of applause for him !!!

Denim on denim can be quite tricky to do right. But the man seemed to have played his cards pretty well here. He paired his Denim Shirt with a Pair of denim pants, in almost the same shade of blue. He broke the monotony of the outfit with a broad brown belt. The pearly white buttons on the shirt also add in breaking the monotony of the blues.

He struck gold in his choice of footwear. He carried on the Brown Theme with a pair from Colehan, which had interchangeable laces. Yes, he has laces and shoes in a lmsot every color. His shoe closet is thrice the size of mine. So he paired the same blue of the denims in his laces, to cary forward the brown and blue theme. A Chunky Tag Huer on his wrist and the fact that he rolled up his sleeves gave the outfit a more casual vibe.

So if you want me to feature more Men's fashion, then don't forget to write, what you would like to see. And three Cheers for the new Hot Model for the Blog.

OOTD : DENIM-LEATHER- LACE : VEST SIDE STORY

Vests are all over the Spring -Summer Fashion scene. From the runways to the streets, you can spot some avatar of the Vest on women of all ages.  And the sheer diversity of styles, is what makes it very versatile. From denim vests, to super floral ones, from Moto styles to lacy versions, you can find something for everyone. I am a big victim of this trend as I have stashed a lot of vests in my collection over the years. So I decided to start a series on the VESTS in my collection and aptly call it VEST SIDE STORY.

One of the latest trends this year, is Denim on Lace. I jumped on the bandwagon and picked up a vest in this combo myself. But that post is for another time and day. As I admired the new vest, I suddenly remembered that I had another Vest which had Denim and lace on it, but I had not used it in years. Thus began the search for the old vest. And there it was discarded right at the back of the closet with some old Size 0 clothes of mine.

This Vest is perfectly en pointe with the current fashion scene ,as it combines two current Fashion Rends: VESTS & DENIM-LACE

This denim and lace vest I had picked up years back, in Kolkata(India),from a quaint little boutique. Its dark wash and almost like a cropped vest. Or maybe now that I am a size 4,that's how my pre-pregnacncy size 0 clothing looks like. Its got black leather tie ups at front which kinda complete the Holy Trinity of Lace,denim and Leather together.

I decided to pair with Light Wash denim Jeggings from American Eagle and a basic solid color Tee from Target. I wanted to underplay the rest of the outfit, so that the focus would be on the Vest.

For my footwear, I opted for my Buck Skin Steve Madden Boots. I had rolled those down, to reveal the plaid inside.

Where my Make up was concerned I was trying out a new red Lipstick .Denim, leather and Red lips, usually doesn't fail when paired properly.
