The weather is hotter, the girls are glowing and showing more skin, it’s time to shed away all those layers of clothes and get aquatinted with the men’s wear biggest tends this Summer.      There should always be space in your Rolodex of clothing options for the latest summer trends. But then again, if there’s no space? Then bag all the winter outfits, ditch your coats, because is going to be summer for a long time and your wardrobe is due for a much needed warm weather-ready refresh with the latest summer trends. I bet you can’t wait to give that bare chest some sun. This season, we welcome the return of some reliable favorites, like revere collard shirts and leather sandals (no complaints here), but there are also tons of great newbies to try.           So whether you are a heavy dresser, a laidback dresser, a go with the flow kind of dresser, or you take fashion style trend from the likes of Hushpuppy or Ebuka. We have compiled the ultimate list for you to slay this summer. (Yes guys Slay too)  *Revere Collard Shirts Revered collard shirts (Cuban shirt) shirts got a whole lot more interesting. It’s all about pleats, patterns, polka dots, floral. You just name it. Paired with jeans, shorts, whichever you choose and you are good to go. Perfect for that beach date, or outing with the guys.  This season, the vibrant patterns of a lightweight collard shirt are perfect for bringing some flair to your look. whether you are heading for a concert or just out with the guys for beer, these colorful tops are going to be everywhere this season. Thankfully, you are able to style it with almost anything. *You Need Yourself Some SHORT-SHORTS Tiny bum-skimmers were all over the runways this season. Every season, shorts can never seem to stick to a hem length. Well, this time, designers are choosing shorts that fall a few inches below the knee, and way above the knee (shorts short) Key styles feature abstract patterns or sporty bold colors with a relaxed fit for everyday wear. Shorts are casual, so the shirt should be too while styling. Don’t wear a long-sleeved, button front, collared shirt with shorts. Even with the sleeves rolled up its too much of a stylistic mix and match. Collared short-sleeve shirts are usually the best choice or a shirt as seen in the picture above. (swag boys only btw) *Sandals Is Now A THING! When it comes to men’s sandals, there are many options to choose from, starting with casual flip-flops and including smarter leather styles to Beach sandals, hiking sandals, etc. To master the laid-back look, you will need to feel comfortable and make it through the day blister and limp free. Hey, that’s what’s Summer is all about being free. Sandals can be worn with anything, from your Ankara to lace to jeans even Suits {yes! I said it. Google it}. *Statement Shirts  Hello! It is 2019 and everyone is all up in their feelings and love to share their opinions. So got something you want to say? Let your shirt do all the backtalk with this season’s statement shirt trend. These shirts can be  Political, Funny, Sarcastic, Empowering or they can get super weird, as modelled by Gucci’s “Future” shirt. They can also feature wild prints, creating statements that make absolutely zero sense, like the “pineapple and horn “shirt by Dolce & Gabbana.        *You’ve Got To ACCESSORIZE THIS SUMMER! When it comes to Summer fashion, don’t sweat it just relax and Keep it lightweight and functional, but don’t sacrifice aesthetics. It’s the perfect time to experiment because many of your peers probably aren’t going to bother trying. Always make use of accessories like wrist bands, watches, hats, sunglasses (you need to protect your eyes from the burning sun) bags, man purse. These accessories are all must have.  But Men Purse’s and Bag’s Seem to be the In-thing this summer BY ANNIE KAS

In the world we leave in today, almost everyone is obsessed with image, looks,fashion and all that. but we also can agree, keeping up can be some heavy tax especially with the ever changing fashion trends.and realistically buying every new it-fashion item can become daunting on your income…..trust me I’ve been down there #CONFESSIONSOFANIGERIANSHOPALIC. Just so we can save up some cash and still look striking when we step out, we’ve come up with few tips for looking like rockstar with the budget of a pauper #justkiddin Invest in statement pieces not trendy, remember those fashion items we use to go mad for when dropped, now think today. are those items still relevant ? chances are the trends are old and passed away. so why spend the big box on something that will be useless after a period of time rather than useful for a longer period, #spendwisely invest more in wardrobe essentials/staples e.g classic white sneakers, statement loafers, signature baseball cap. this tip may not be for everyone cause we are all guilty of indulging in the trending activities and if you must shop trendy, then shop trendy on sales! Shop On Sales, this is one of the best ways to stay stylish on a budget, in-fact I can confess this has been my hack for years now. All items go on sale, be it trendy or not…its gotta go baby!!!  and this could be your opportunity to grab that item. another addition is to do your research before buying items. if shop A sells this trendy piece at this price chances are you could get the same kind of item at SHOP B at a lesser price, you just have to do your freaking research people. Don’t give it out for free, Swap or Sell it, when next a friend asks you to give them one of your stylish pieces, don’t just wave them off, rather offer to sell it to them or counter ask them for one of their own pieces you are interested in. That Way Everybody Goes Home Smiling with new goodies in the bag! You Could even host your own Clothing Swap Party!!!           #HOWTOSTAYSTYLISHONABUDGET
