How to Dress on a Dime for College.

If only I had a nickel for every time I’ve been asked about how to buy clothes on a budget.

If you’re in college, you mostly don’t have a source of income that would make money rain on you every month.

College in itself is super expensive and chances are that just like most of us you are always looking for ways to cut corners to be able to spend more on books, assignments, dates, or even just partying. So we thought why not bring to you a list of solutions that you can try out to build a wardrobe that won’t make a hole in your wallet.

Clothes are possibly the most convenient option for you to reduce expenses. They are available at almost every price point, even though the quality reduces with the price, you anyway buy 5-6 times a year. The key here is not to reduce the number of times you buy but to reduce the amount you spend every time you go shopping.

Let’s jump into the solutions straight away.

Thrifting

This has become a really popular “trend” in recent years but it’s not just a trend, it is a pretty viable option. Being in college nobody cares if you’re wearing Nike, Converse, Rick Owns, Off-White, or thrifted. All you have to do is attend classes, and chill with friends, no one is expecting you to show up dripping in logos and monograms as an influencer at New York Fashion Week.

We will not be discussing the environmental friendliness of this option as you probably already know it. Some people really look down on thrifting and getting second-hand clothes. But if the clothes are of good quality, look new and are cheap, what’s the issue?

Via – https://verilymag.com/2016/06/thrift-store-tips-tricks-vintage-shopping-thrifting-hacks

You can get great jackets, vintage tee shirts, pants, and even rugs and bedsheets! All you have to do is have a concrete plan before you enter the store, as it can get a little overwhelming and you may get carried away by the sea of clothes. Having a list with you helps a lot, seems stupid but do it!

Take out a day and look hard for quality clothes and keep in mind the entire outfit you want to create and your personal style.

Project 333

Project 333 is a minimalistic way to live. It means you own 33 pieces of clothes for 3 months. You can take this up for yourself and if you feel it’s not for you, you can switch back to your regular wardrobe after 3 months.

The 33 pieces of clothes you will own for 3 months also include shoes, jackets, glasses, etc. The aim of this project is to declutter your wardrobe and essentially your mind as well. If you find yourself struggling each morning trying to decide what to wear, then this might be just your thing.

Being in college, this project saves a lot of time, which you can dedicate to do other important activities, like sleep for some more time perhaps.

This also forces you to get versatile pieces, as you know you have limited options, which will prove to be an asset in the long run. The people who tried out this project said most of their colleagues never even noticed that the person was repeating outfits.

Via – https://wadrobedia.blogspot.com/2020/01/everyday-minimalist-mens-wardrobe.html

One tip we can give you for this is to learn how to style your clothes. Mix and match all the options you have to get more variety out of the same clothes and also to get more wear out of each garment. Let us know if you are thinking of giving this project a try.

Layering

You will automatically get a hang of how to layer your outfits if you give Project 333 a try. But if you don’t feel like taking up that project, you can use layering for your regular wardrobe too.

Layering is essentially wearing more than one layer of garments, so your tee shirt and jeans become layer one, a shirt/sweater over it becomes layer two, a trench coat over it becomes layer 3 so on and so forth, but be careful because you don’t want to look like Joey putting on all of Chandler’s clothes at once.

Mostly, layering is done for winter in extremely cold places, but you can totally try it in summer too just with lighter clothes that are breathable.

Via – http://outfitideashq.com/top-must-shoes-winter-men/

The first step is to just start.

Having a knowledge of what color goes with what is pretty easy to develop once you start experimenting. You will then also learn what prints works with what and what texture compliments the entire outfit.

This will help your pocket a lot as you won’t need 20 different tee shirts you can get 5 tee shirts and 5 jackets and then mix and match to get much more variation.

Avoid herd mentality

Now, we’re sure you have heard this advice quite a few times. But let us modify it for you in terms of fashion.

Do not always buy trendy clothes. Yes, you can shop for a particularly trendy item if you really love it and if you feel you will wear it very often.

But don’t plan or buy an entire wardrobe filled with trendy pieces because if they go “out” of trend you will stop wearing it hence it becomes a sunk cost, not very desirable for a young college man.

Go for usual basic clothes, or classic pieces and pair that with one trendy item if you feel like it.

Invest in accessories

This is honestly the most practical advice I can give. Accessories can make or mar a look. You need to have good shoes, few good watches, a few pairs of good glasses and a signature scent.

And when we say “good” we mean good in quality, ones that you can wear for years to come. This, unlike your clothes, will be with you for a long long time, so spending more on it is like an investment.

Via – https://unsplash.com/s/photos/mens-accessories

You can really make a statement at any event and elevate your plain white tee and black trousers with a high-end brand, good quality watch, belt, shoes, and perfume.

Since you know you have to wear it for a long time, be smart and get the ones that really go well with most of your outfits.

You should go for a black watch over a green one, a comfortable pair of Nike Air Force in solid color over a pair of uncomfortable neon red shoes.

Styling Cropped Flare Jeans in 2021? We’ve Got Your Back!

Denim is back in style and so are cropped flared jeans. Denim has been everyone’s staple since forever. Everyone owns at least one pair of jeans – they’re comfortable, durable, and can be styled in numerous ways. In the mid-1960s, flared jeans were a thing. It has evolved a lot since then. Cropped flare jeans are the basic flared jeans we know of, but just that, as the name suggests, they are cropped to the ankle.

So in this article we are going to discuss some tips on how you can style them, where to buy them, and we will also be answering some FAQs.

Tips for Getting and Styling the Right Cropped Flared Pants!

CHOOSE THE RIGHT FIT

When choosing flared jeans for yourself, you need to check the fit and get the perfect one for yourself. There are a lot of disadvantages to wearing the wrong fitted clothes; the most important one is that it doesn’t flatter your body and looks very shabby. Please get the correct size of jeans unless you want to go for a baggy look.

In order to get your perfect fit, cropped flared jeans, you need to keep a few things in mind:

SIZE: It is very important for you to understand the shape of your body and to know your correct size. This helps you choose a better fit for yourself. When you buy your cropped jeans or any other jeans, make sure to select the right size.
LENGTH-As the name suggests, we are here talking about cropped flared jeans. So, the perfect length for cropped flared jeans should be the ankle. You need to make sure the fit is not longer than the ankle, because then it is no more than a cropped flared jean.

CHOOSE HIGHWAISTED JEANS.

High-waisted pants are loved by most people nowadays as they make you look kind of taller and give the illusion of having long legs. We get high-waisted features in almost every piece of clothing nowadays, from skirts to trousers to everything in between. Similarly, you can also find some high-waisted cropped flared pants that look super chic. Although low-waist jeans are coming back into trend, high-waist jeans are never going out of style.

But how do you style them?

You can pair up your high-waisted, cropped, flared jeans with a button-down shirt, or just a casual t-shirt, or even a blouse. Whatever you wear with your high-waisted cropped flared jeans, if it’s long, please TUG IT IN.It looks absolutely stunning.

So, you must be wondering why I got so worked up about tugging on the shirt. Tucking your shirt or t-shirt into any high-waisted pants emphasises your curves, elongates your lower body, and creates a visually appealing proportion. Sounds cool, right? So just go and try it!

3.STYLE THEM UP WITH HEELS

Cropped Flared Jeans are super chill and comfortable jeans which you can wear everyday. So how do you choose what shoes go with it? Well, you can go for sandals, flats, heels, or anything you want. Just make sure it compliments your upper garments as well. Wearing a solid-coloured button-down shirt with high-waisted cropped flared jeans and heels, for example, will give your outfit a very classy look while also complementing your upper garment. We have attached some pictures for your visual reference:

Having said that, don’t be afraid to try something out of the box. You can wear chunky heels and different colours mixed and matched, which takes us to another point, colourblocking.

THE COLOR IS BLOCKING THE LOOK

Ever heard of colourblocking? No? Well, no worries. We are here to help. Colourblocking is basically using two or more colours which are opposites in a colour wheel to make interesting colour combinations. The colours compliment each other and have contrast.

Does this sound complicated? Well, to make it easier for you, let’s take an example with some visual reference:

First of all, did you know you can get cropped flared jeans in a variety of colours nowadays? You name it, they have it. This year was all about different colours, patterns, and bright and pastel shades. So, for colourblocking, you can use flared jeans of any colour. So, for example, let’s say you have yellow cropped flared pants, so you can wear a pink shirt or t-shirt on top and then pair it up with green heels and a bag. So this not only makes your outfit look super colourful, but also very lively. But if you don’t like too many loud colours, then you can stick to monochromatic outfits. Let’s look at these beautiful colourblocked outfits:

FLARES WITH FRAYED HEM

The frayed hem is very popular and trendy. There are brands selling various clothing items with frayed hems. It gives a raw look and you can even make it your home. Cropped flared jeans with frayed hems look very raw and stylish. The distressed look it gives is not very distressing.

So you have cropped flared jeans but without a frayed hem? Don’t worry, you can simply do it at home. All you need is a scissor and tweezers.

First you need to cut the hemline of the jeans very carefully. Don’t cut it too short and make sure you measure it on yourself and mark it first.
When done cutting, you need to take your tweezers and pull the threads from the hem.
Make sure you have a clear idea of what kind of fray you want. So, accordingly, you can pull more or less threads and TADAAAA….. your DIY Frayed Hem Cropped Flared Jeans are ready to be worn.

How To Dress In 2022

Taking notes from the Spring/Summer 2022 collections.

With Paris Fashion Week coming to an end, just like every year, stellar collections were put out by a lot of talented designers this year too. Of course, our lives have changed drastically owing to the pandemic and so has the fashion industry, but now everyone is looking forward to getting better than before. A lot of shows consisted of new silhouettes, bright colourful designs, drama with elegance and also bringing the Y2K style with a modern twist to it.

This reminds us of a quote by Karl Lagerfeld – “There is nothing worse than bringing up the ‘good old days.’ To me, that’s the ultimate acknowledgment of failure.”

So this feels like an apt time to talk about next year’s fashion and how to dress in 2022. We are looking at runway looks from the Spring/Summer 2022 collections by brands like YSL, Moschino, Alexander McQueen, YY/Project, Junya Watanabe, Louis Vuitton, Rick Owens, Dior Men, GmBh, and Dries Van Noten. In this blog, we will be discussing what caught our eye and why.

All Black Chic

Although it is no new information that luxury/couture designers love black, this Spring/Summer we got a lot more fits in all black than we were expecting. At Junya Watanabe, we got to see the new era for menswear with skirts and blazers in all black. It looks very effortlessly classy and comfortable too.

Saint Laurent is known for his classic, chic and timeless black and white colour palette, which has trickled down to menswear designs as well, almost the entire collection was a sea of black and white just like Rick Owens. But other than the colour palette nothing else is similar about the two giants. The silhouettes at Rick Ownes were a lot more pronounced with deconstructed knits and trains.

At Louis Vuitton as well we saw quite a few all black outfits, although each one was styled with a different pop of colour, and this green and black combo really spoke to us.

The trend of denim never fades

We have already discussed about denim in our previous blogs, let us reiterate denim is making a comeback this Spring/Summer. This time designers really put their thinking hats on and manipulated denim in unthinkable ways, which was very fun to watch.

Rick Ownes’ take on denim stunned us the most! Making a long and baggy t-shirt out of denim in a deconstructed style is genius. Junya Watanabe has made really commercial denim jackets for the Spring. GmbH understood the assignment by pairing a blue denim jumpsuit with a brown belt to cinch the waist and also zippers placed all over the garment in a very enticing way. Y/Project also took a dive into the denim on denim look but their pants have two layers, the one on the inside is darker than the one on the outside, giving it a sense of depth. And Louis Vuitton went big with a colourful jacket in what looks like a tie dye print and paired it with acid washed denim with the classic LV monogram

How To Dress In 2022

For some reason, quite a few designers are anticipating demand for knits this coming spring. Demand or no demand we are here to enjoy the show and high quality artistic knits.

Y/Project really stunned us with this textured knit sweater with cutouts near the neckline, almost like a fishing net or a bunch of ropes tied smartly to create drama. At Dior it was a knit fest, to say the least, they showcased knits with fun designs, motifs, and their monogram too, which shows the craftsmanship of the brand.

Moschino showcased campy sweaters in bold colours and paired them with denim to let the sweater shine through.

Monochrome-zone

I’m sure you all know by now what monochrome is (if not we recommend you to go through our colour blocking masterclass)

This season monochrome was done differently. It was done in both usual and unusual colours. Rick Ownes and Dries Van Noten chose to showcase outfits in white and khaki monochromatic scheme. While Rick’s whole outfit looks extremely editorial and edgy, Dries Van Noten’s suit deserves to be worn by an A-lister on a red carpet.

Then we have Louis Vuitton and Dior, who took a road less traveled. Louis Vuitton played with texture and volume in this blue outfit, it looks like armor over a raincoat with a hat and mufflers. If you feel this is a bit too much, you always have the option to pick and chooses elements from the look. Dior also showed a look in minty, almost neon, green paired with the same coloured bucket hat.

Shorts

This seems like a usual garment to be included in every collection, this fueled the designers to add their own flair to it. Dior put long panels of fabric on the sides of the shorts, that look like pockets in the size of paper bags that you get take-outs in, this definitely looks like the next big trend.

At GmbH we got shorts paired with their signature crisscross designed coat. The shorts look super commercial and something their clientele will really enjoy.

Moschino also included shorts with a food motif all over them, Jeremy knows everyone is craving to eat at fancy places so he made an outfit to match the mood. While the food motif is not new at Moschino, here it feels quite fresh.

Saint Laurent designed chic, comfortable yet classy formal wear for their collection. It seems like a perfect outfit for an outdoor summer wedding, because who wants to be in uncomfortable tight pants and sweat all day long anyway. And luxe loungewear got a new face at Dries Van Noten, with bold colours and silky soft shirts and shorts.

Drama

Opulence, extravagance, and drama are what we have been craving for some time now, and designers really showed up and showed out. With eye-catching colors, cutouts in interesting places (almost weird too), shiny fabrics, costume outfits, face masks covering the entire face, we were really served a wide range of drama.

Louis Vuitton made monochromatic fits but added elements of drama like a chessboard print face mask covering the entire face paired with a hot pink coat and pants or cartoon-ish ear muffs with cat-like ears on them. Also, their combination of soft furry ear muffs with all leather outfit screams drama in itself.

Y/Project really explored cutouts this season and this coat really impressed us. The construction is so interesting. By putting out this scarf-like shirt having cutouts near the naval with a well-tailored jacket, Y/Project is letting the big players know they are one to watch out for.

Moschino and GmbH explored new fabrics and showcased this stunning sequins suit in a shiny royal purple color. While GmbH did their signature coat in white fur, adding snow king drama this Spring/Summer

Which one of these styles impressed you and what will you dare to wear this coming spring/summer let us know in the comments below.

Specifically, this is a lightweight straight fit sweater with a high neck and long sleeves with ribbed trims

Or even if you just show up in this and either monochromatic trousers or dark coloured trousers or jeans, you will still nail the look. Besides who doesn’t like a turtleneck? Other than looking chic it also helps you hide some hickeys.

Accessorizing the look with a blazer or hoodie and glasses with a Fossil watch on will give you the title of always looking like a boss. Either that or a nerdy teacher depends on how you style it. Either way, having fun with the outfit is more important, isn’t it?

This is a turtleneck sweater made out of wool blend featuring long sleeves and ribbed trims. This can be donned for a formal event, first date, or even a red carpet. “If you are ever finding it difficult to put looks together, just look up what Zayn is wearing and try to recreate his looks. His looks are mostly very chic, timeless, and powerful”, said some wise man. So let’s do that now

Zayn Malik walked the red carpet many times, looking all hot and sexy in this same black turtleneck, just styled differently with different accessories.

Looking solid in solid colors, you can also pair this black turtleneck with a navy blue blazer or suit and the same colored trousers and finish the look with some silver jewelry to look uber rich. Carry some Ray-Bans too, if you are going out.

POLO SWEATER

This shirt style was often worn by the Britishers with Jodhpur pants while playing the game polo, hence the name. This style was later popularized by Ralph Lauren in America. It is just recently that this style has been adapted in different materials and variations of it are explored by designers.

Zara made it into a long sleeve sweater with collars, front buttons, and ribbed trims to make it fit well

This look can be sported, pun intended, with loose-fit denim, a baseball cap, and Nike Air Force 1 sneakers. It is a very “soft boy” look aesthetic, which is very popular with the younger generations.

Want to go out to the cafe to catch up with some old friends or just to work this look is not only comfortable but also makes you look well put together.

So even if you don’t have your life figured out, your outfit can give that illusion, isn’t that great?

PURL-KNIT SWEATER

We know what you are thinking “Oh! Another purl knit sweater?” Well, yes. You simply can’t have “enough” sweaters in your closet, not when Zara is still making such fabulous ones.

This is a knit sweater made out of a cotton blend, V neck, and long sleeves with ribbed trims. For us, this sweater just screams airport comfy-luxe, what do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

If you have narrow shoulders and a wider waist and want to make the shoulders look bigger while making the waist smaller, you will love this color blocking sweater.

Via – https://www.zara.com/in/en/colour-block-sweater-p04216300.html?v1=117791377

Or even if you have wide shoulders and want to flaunt them you can opt for this loose-fit sweater made out of spun cotton fabric, having a round neck with long sleeves.

Zara is tricking our brain with colors – the dark color of the torso makes it look slimmer and pushes it to the back, and the bright and light colors make it seem closer to us thus making it look bigger than it actually is.

You can pair them with black trousers, which will elongate your legs.

Abstract Jacquard Sweater

We have not come across anything more punk rock than this black and white graffiti-like print sweater.

We are sure everyone has had a goth phase growing up, if not then perhaps a rebel phase. And this sweater perfectly embodies the energy and mood of that phase.

The tie dye-like edges of the abstract white stripes makes the sweater look grotesque and violent. Pairing it with black pants and silver jewelry will definitely make you look like the coolest hitman that has ever walked on this planet. If you would have told us that this sweater was designed by Alexander McQueen or Rick Owens we would have agreed with you.

The next two sweaters are specifically for super funky people, it is not for the faint of heart so proceed to buy with caution.

JACQUARD SWEATER WITH LETTERING

Want to become the talk of the night? This sweater looks like it was designed for the VIP members of the rave club. The high contrasting yellow and black exude drama. They may seem loud, but if styled correctly, you will look classy.

The sudden change of the colors in a cut-like design on the chest looks interesting. The letters are randomly placed and don’t necessarily spell anything, but it can be a fun ice breaker, right?

The yellow and black combo makes it a bit difficult to pair it with anything other than black trousers, but you can always try it with some shorts or even a black hoodie over it to add another layer perhaps. If you want to look invincible, you may as well add a black face mask to get a high level of anonymity.

FAES WAVES SWEATER

Via – https://www.zara.com/in/en/–faes-waves-sweater-p02893300.html?v1=114345407

This is a loose-fitting sweater with a round neckline, long sleeves, and Jacquard Faes print. The dark green leaning toward teal color seems to compliment the light green wavy designs. To talk about the print looks like a modern-day digital art inspired by the painting – The Great Wave of Kanagawa

Again, just like the previous sweater, the colors make it fit well with mostly black. If you are feeling adventurous we would recommend you style it with green pants that relate to the sweater and blue or red or yellow glasses to add a pop of color.

This is a great look for a day out running errands or window shopping with friends. We can only image high-end designers or famous influencers wearing this at Paris Fashion Week, so you need to hurry up and get this right now!

4 step guide to building your wardrobe from scratch

So many of us look at others on Instagram and compare their wardrobe with ours, but we don’t know where to start.

If you feel the same, let us walk you through the process of building an impressive wardrobe. It is much simpler than you think, and all you need is a clear idea of what is needed, something like a blueprint. Consider this blog as exactly that.

4 step guide to building your wardrobe from scratch

Start with the basics.

What is the simplest step in building a wardrobe, and yet is it overlooked by many? Take a look at your wardrobe and separate the basics from the fancy outfit.

By “basics,” we mean plain and versatile pieces. A plain white tee shirt is a basic piece, and a red leather pant is not.

Once you’ve seen what you have, go and buy what you don’t. This does not mean buy a tee shirt in every colour available, and we want you to pick pieces that you feel you can style differently.

To make it simpler, you can get two or three plain white tee/shirts, a black tee/shirt, and a blue tee/shirt. Now pastel-colored tee/shirts are optional. This way, you can wear the white tee with black jeans and maybe throw on a jacket to dress it up or put on some bling to feel fancy. Our main goal here is to get maximum wear out of a garment, which means how many times you will wear it before you throw it out.

Bottoms up!

Once you feel happy about your shirts and tee shirts, you can look for versatile pants. You may need a few different ones to suit every occasion. The most popular pants would include jeans, trousers, and chinos, which will be appropriate for every event.

Solid colored trousers can be worn to formal events and out o dates, and a pair of black and blue jeans can be kept for casual events.

Just like you rummaged your closet for basic tee shirts, now do that for bottoms because almost all of us already have versatile trousers or jeans.

Now you will see your wardrobe coming together. You can pair your plain shirts and tee shirts with solid coloured trousers and jeans. For example – your black jeans can be paired with a black shirt for a night out partying. If that feels a little bland, our next step is for you.

Top it all with some chic accessories

Let us get one thing out of the way immediately – accessories are not just for women.

You will see the change a few rings, the right kind of watch, sunglasses, or even a locket will make to your entire outfit. If you use the right amount and kind of accessories, you can go to a gala in just your basic tee shirt and trousers, letting the accessories take that center stage.

From Justin Bieber to Harry Styles everyone is stepping up their fashion game with the help of accessories and we feel you should too.

Accessories also include shoes. Shoes can make or ruin the entire outfit, so we suggest getting a pair of classic Nike shoes for running errands, a versatile boot for formal events, perhaps a pair of Chelsea boots that you can pair with your shirts and trousers.

Final step –

Have fun!

Once you have the basics down, it’s your wardrobe you can funk it up as much as you want.

Now you can think about layering your basics. Like that blue jacket, you saw for sale? Go get it!

Get a few good cardigans and sweater vests for winter to add a pop of color and energy to your closet.

And then another staple every man should have is a suit. A well-tailored suit goes a long way. We’ll discuss that some other time perhaps, you go start working on your wardrobe.
