THE NEW CLASSIC



    "Even if she go away.....even if she go away" from the moment we heard those words, we had no idea about the style journey that awaited us when we watched the Classic Man video. Our lives were NEVER the same again! On the real though, it was like a spell was cast on us. When music and unique fashion combine best believe you're about to be obsessed...... and stay obsessed!
            There's just something about classic style that gives you a sense of elegance and makes you feel distinguished. Needless to say we are addicts of the dapper look. As women it is very easy for us to mix it up with men's wear and get away with it. It's all about execution.





  Women can dress masculine  and still maintain their femininity. Especially if you pick an era like the '70 and just run with it.


             Being fashion curious is all about experimenting and trying out new things and playing around with different eras.








                When going for a classic look keep your Brogues close....and your Bow-Ties closer.








                                                 Simplicity is the key note of all true elegance

COLOUR IN THE CITY

      
       Bonjour! Remember when we were kids and all we had to do was wake up, put on our uniforms and run out the door? Funny how easy and stress free getting ready was. Then we got older and suddenly we had to dress up every single day, create different outfits and stare blankly at our hectic wardrobes trying to figure out how so many clothes equaled nothing to wear! That's when we realized that as much fun as dressing up is... it can be a little challenging sometimes, especially when you hit that creative block! It happens to the best of us.
       So when this happens how about you try taking a deep breath, closing your eyes and imagine you're Michelangelo and your body is the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel...it just might kick start the creativity within ( There's a reason the Sistine chapel ceiling wasn't covered in stick figures)
       You can draw inspiration from the randomest things. Take us for example, we drew inspiration for the outfits in this post from Ketchup and.....wait for it.....Mustard! CONDIMENTS! It doesn't get more random than that.


















        After so much black on black, it's nice every now and then to see a little colour in the city.

PRINT IT

     You can spot a mix-master from a mile away.When it comes to risky trends, the art of mixing prints is at the top of the "There's no way I'm pulling this off" List. Good news though, once you master the art of mixing it up, your options for potential outfits in your closet will increase tremendously. Think about it , since we were kids we’ve been practicing the skill of matching, so while it may take some time to build up the courage to start pairing the unexpected, we promise it’s worth the challenge.
       When you choose to go for a look that mixes print and pattern, there's a fine line between playfully unexpected and completely bonkers. Thankfully, you're just a few styling tricks away from mixing and matching prints like a pro.
     From polka dot to plaid, to the printed pieces already in your wardrobe, all you have to do is get your creative juices flowing.




    When mixing prints, the whole is greater than each piece individually so focus on creating a cohesive look.



      Similar colors and palettes will help blend your prints, while still making a statement. If your pieces don’t share a color within their respected prints, similar backgrounds, like brown, maroon, black, blue, or grey, it might seem a little chaotic.









     The most important principle when it comes to a successful print mash-up is being bold and daring but still a tad bit cautious....we wouldn't want you to over do it now would we?
