Men's Fashion in College


Hey guys! So this is a bit of a different post for me but a friend of mine was telling me how he was trying to figure out men's fashion in college so I decided to  do a post about it. One of the things that he mentioned was that he did not know what the ladies liked. Honestly, every girl is different and they like different looks on guys. Fashion is about expressing who you are, it is not about being who someone else wants you to be. So guy, be yourself. But if you are totally lost, here are a few suggestions for essentials that you can not go wrong with when trying to make your way through the college fashion scene.

Personally, I go to a VERY large school, so at a certain point, everyone has to sacrifice fashion for comfort. Lets be honest, nice shoes make you feel good, but they do not make your feet feel good when your walking upwards of two miles per day.  Of course, at a smaller school, some more fashionable shoes may be applicable but you can never go wrong with a good pair of sneakers.
A friend of mine made me look up these sneakers that he loved and the reviews for the brand are pretty good so I would recommend checking out the Nike Jordan Flight shoes. Obviously I am a girl so I have not tried them myself but I wouldn't recommend them to you if I did not trust him.

Jeans are not every guy's favorite...lets be honest, I hate them too. But they are a staple in college. Doing the wash in college is a royal pain. Jeans can be worn more than once before you have to wash them which delays having to do the wash which is fabulous. Everyone has their own preference with jeans so just go do a bit of shopping until you find the perfect fit...even if it is only one pair.

Alright, we have gone through shoes and pants...so that leaves shirt. Most of the guys I see around my campus usually wear T-Shirts. All kinds of T-Shirts, graphic, plain, school apparel, everything. School isn't a black tie event, so no need to feel compelled to majorly dress up. A T-Shirt looks put together and is practical. I would recommend staying away from shirts that have vulgar statements on them just because, honestly, it does not speak very highly of your character and you do not want to miss-represent yourself...especially if you are a freshman and do not know anyone yet.

As far as dress clothing goes, if you are involved in anything business oriented, I would suggest bringing up a pair of nice pants and a button up. Actually, I would suggest bring up that style outfit even if you are not in business. You never know when you are going to want/need to look a little bit nicer for an event. Along with that, I would bring up one matching pair of dress shoes. Obviously, they do not have to be black tie shoes, but just a nice dressy-casual pair to go along with your more polished look.

That is about it for my basic college menswear advise. I am working on putting together some more menswear and mens fashion posts in general and I am really excited to finally branch out into this area as it has been something that I have wanted to explore for you for a while. Below are some links to shop some of the items talked about in the post.

Is The Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment Worth the Hype?

 Hey Fashionista's! Today we are going to talk all about Hailey Bieber's Rhode Skincare line. This is not sponsored, I just really wanted to talk about these products. This semester in my public speaking class, I taught a unit all about persuasive speaking. My goal was to make the topic of persuasive speaking more relatable by showing how prevalent it is in our modern world. What was the product I brought in to show the power of persuasive speaking in the "influencer era"? You bet it was the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment. If you are a longtime reader, you know I rarely talk about skin care. Actually, I have probably never talked about skin care. That's because I don't really know what to say. I don't ever buy the trendy products because I am allergic to so many of them and if not, they make me break out. BUT Hailey Bieber got me- talk about effective persuasive speaking. I watched a few videos on YouTube of her using the products and talking about their ing...

June Favorites!!

Hey guys!! Another fabulous month has passed and what a month it has been! June was very stressful for me but also the biggest relif because it was the end of school and training for the day camp that I worked at. So I have a good amount of favorites for the month of June so I am going to go on and get into it. 1.) My  first favorite of the month is my Maybeleen concealer stick. I decided to stray from my Almay holy grail concealer and try out a more full coverage concealer because I was not getting a whole lot of sleep due to school so I had lovely dark circles. I have been using this product every day and kind of have a love hate relationship with it but decided to include it. Lets start with the pros. I love that it makes my undereyes glow and wakes me up a bit. I also love the coverage that it gives. NO dark circles will be seen when you use this product. I also really like the texture because it is really creamy and easy to apply. Now for the cons. I am pretty tan and so I b...
