FASHION makes you A VICTIM, fashion MAKES YOU a STAR!

Yahoooooo....!!! Yabedabeduuuuuu.....!! Yippiiieee... Yippieee....

Why I'm so happy ??? Hahaha...

Because I have done TEST 2.... Even though my performance not too good as compared to TEST 1, what can I say, just 'let bygone, be bygone'.... Huhuhu... 

Regarding to my topic, which is 'fashion victim'.... 

Fashion can makes you a victim,  fashion can makes you a star... Which one is your greatest desire?

Which one you want to be? A victim or a star?

        Every single year when a new fashion season starts, fashion capitals of the world turn into Meccas for the followers of the latest trends. The greatest fashion houses present their collections, top designers set the trends, photographers and models work hard in an attempt to make people fill their wardrobes with the stuff they don’t need. Every single year designer labels make millions by selling “the latest craze,” 

But is fashion really that important?

Some people consider fashion to be of the utmost importance if you need to create a certain image with the purpose of skyrocketing your career. It is certainly true, especially in the sphere of public relations where the way you look makes people make assumptions about your personality and about the company you represent. However, this does not mean that wearing an expensive designer outfit is always the best solution. 

Clean, well-made and high-quality clothes are be the best choice for a business executive for sure though.

Followers of fashion trends can easily become fashion victims. Sacrificing a lot to look fashionable, they often end up wearing something that neither suits them, nor reflects their personality. In this way they face a risk of losing their identity, as the main selection criteria for them are not their own ideas and desires but the designer’s opinion. Following the latest trends in fashion can simply be too expensive and can easily make people get into debt. Wasting too much on what is neither necessary nor really beautiful has become a trend.

I believe that fashion is far less important than many people think. Well, actually it does not…

Before you were arrested by the 'fashion police'....
Let me share with you guys about how to avoid becoming 'fashion victim'...
Stay tuned and the guide will be revealed after the jump........

 Dress for Yourself
Find clothing that works with your figure and your personal tastes.

1. Shop for styles you like. Everyone has different tastes. If the latest trend does not suit yours, do not feel obligated to obey it.
2. Avoid over-accessorizing. Do not have too many layers of accessories. Stick with one or two key accessories, such as a chunky bracelet in a bold color and a matching pair of pumps, and leave it at that.
3. Try before you buy.
   • Try on clothes in a dressing room before you purchase them. Study yourself in the dressing room’s full-length mirror until you have a clear opinion of how it looks.
   • Take along a fashion-conscious friend whose style you trust when you go shopping. When left to themselves, some individuals can talk themselves into—or out of—just about anything. Your friend can provide you with a second opinion on the clothes you try on.
4. Know your sizes. Take your precise measurements and compare them against a brand or store’s sizing chart.
   • Measure your bust by wrapping a taut tape measure around the widest part of your bust.
   • Measure your waist by wrapping a taut tape measure around the narrowest part of your waist. This area, called your “natural waist,” is usually right below your bust.
   • Measure your hips by wrapping a taut tape measure around the thickest part of your hips.
5. Accept your body. Everyone has imperfections. Learn to accept yours so you know how to work around them.
   • Know your problem areas and look for ways to mask them. As a general rule, balance out thicker parts of your body by looking for clothing that draws the eye to thinner parts of your body.
   • Avoid clothing that highlights your problem areas. A frilly-tiered skirt may look nice on a thin woman with a rectangular body type, but it will only draw unwanted attention to the legs of a pear shaped woman with larger thighs. Additionally, a skin-tight dress on the thin woman might look awkward as opposed to the same dress on the pear shaped woman. There are clothes that work for everybody, but not everybody can "pull off" certain clothes.

Next, I will share with you guys about 4 rules for mixing shirt & tie patterns.

1- Repeat colors in each pattern

In this case, choose your shirt first, carefully noting the dominant colors. When you are ready to pick your tie, choose one with accents that use the same dominant colors from your shirt. This combination of a brown John Varvatos dress shirt and pink silk Ermenegildo Zegna tie is a perfect example of how to implement this rule. The shirt is dark brown with lighter, more subtle, nutmeg-colored stripes and, although the background of the tie is pink, the small, brown, paisley art-nouveau print echoes the color of the shirt.

2- Graduate checks outward

Skillfully combining a checked shirt with a differently checked tie is a quick way to get a quirky look. The rule to follow in this case is to always wear smaller checked prints on your body and larger checks around your neck. Again, make sure you pay attention to color and choose a shirt and tie in a similar color palette. Take, for example, this hip combination of a pumpkin-plaid, Hickey Freeman shirt with a navy-striped silk tie from Luciano Barbera: The shirt has smaller, thinner checks, while the tie has a larger and brighter pattern. As the checks become larger from the shirt to the tie, the effect is more Johnny Depp than Screech. Just remember to keep your trousers in the same overall color scheme.
3- Vary weights between patterns

Choosing two patterns of the same size will just look too busy and confusing, so for a cleaner look that’s easier on the eyes, make sure one piece has a chunkier pattern than the other. This classic J.Crew shirt has thin gray and white stripes, while the silk tie is set on a gray background with slim white stripes, as well as much larger, notice-me blue stripes. The combination works by giving a subdued dress shirt just the right boost with a brighter, bolder striped tie, thereby breaking up the monotony of the shirt.

4- Match smaller patterns with larger ones

You’ll be surprised at the fantastic and elegant combinations you can come up with, even when the tie and shirt have completely different patterns, simply by following this rule. If your shirt has a small pattern, you’ll need to wear a tie with a larger one and vice versa. You don’t even have to worry much about keeping to the same color family if the shirt is in a neutral color like black, gray or white, although matching these pieces when the shirt is colored does make it easier to get it right if you don’t have a particular eye for color. Joseph Abboud’s single-breasted lilac dress shirt has very slim, barely noticeable white stripes, meaning that Paul Smith’s tie with alternating stripes and multicolor floral embroidery complements rather than overwhelms the delicate pattern of the shirt.

The biggest mistake men make when dressing up are they don't know how to match dress pants with shoes.

the perfect match

As a general rule, men should follow these color combinations when deciding what shoes to wear with what pants, regardless of if they're dressy or not. Keep in mind that there are a bunch of other colors that could be thrown into the mix, but we'll keep it simple because the fashion police is very busy as it is.

All right guys, lastly, i would like to remind you about colour matching for clothing and what to wear together.

Complementary Colours

Complementary colours are found on opposite sides of the colour wheel to each other. The term ‘complementary colours’ can be misleading when it comes to fashion advice on the colours that go as it does not necessarily mean that wearing them together will be complementary on you! Rather it means that they complement each other, they bring out and emphasise each other. Perfect if you want to create a striking poster – not so perfect if you’re trying to create a sophisticated outfit.

How to wear them

Unless you are a very confident dresser it is best to avoid wearing complementary colours together. Instead why not try wearing one colour with a paler tint of its opposite, such as green with light pink or blue with pale gold?

Analogous Colours

Analogous colours are next to each other on the colour wheel. As they are similar to each other and easy on the eye in combination they make a pleasing palette for an outfit.

How to wear them

Limit yourself to no more than three analogous colours in your outfit. Stick to two and a neutral and you can’t go wrong.
