Vintage Look-book: Men

As requested, i am posting some amazing formal vintage looks for men. Vintage for men mostly covers formal clothing, mix and match can be done with casuals too but casuals should very basic, you cannot add punk to the whole look. Here is what you can experiment- 

  

Straight fit shirts and straight fit pants looks gorgeous. Especially if you are thin straight fit shirt and pant will make you look healthy. 
















I loved the idea of bow tie with formal shirts, they look classy. If not bow tie, you can use tie or a jacket. If you are trying to give a vintage look make sure you use earthy light colors, bright colors can ruin you outfit. 

                              


You can also experiment check pants and plain shirts as shown above and please make sure if you wear tie, you wear a straight one, broad ties are a big no! 





(Picture in left) gives a perfect idea of dressing in a vintage casual look. Make sure all colors you use are earthy. You can use sneakers(light color with no establishment) Coats gives a perfect shape to the look, you can use ties, scarfs or a plain t shirt with a jacket. 

Basic things to keep in mind for Vintage look- 
  1. Use light and sober colors
  2. Your clothes should be well fitted, preferably straight fit
  3. If your hairs are long, prefer to get a clean shave. If you have short hair, a light beard goes a long way!
  4. Vintage look is always a little messy, so you don't need to get a clean hairstyle. Messy looks will do better. 

    Hope you guys enjoyed!

    New Wall





    While i was browsing some of my old stuff today, i found some beautiful cards, papers and some show pieces too. So i thought to fill up the empty space that i had in my room. I used all the stuff i had, i had particularly chosen light colors so that they really stand out on this purple wall. You can use cards and ribbons in a really creative way. Well my effort was to make something cute and fill up the space. Hope you guys like it.

    Ahhhh..!! Venice!

    "Venice is not only a city of fantasy and freedom. It is also a city of joy and pleasure."





    -Peggy Guggenheim



    I would love to go to Venice ones in my life. I'm so fascinated by the beauty of this place. Venice is a big hit in tourism. The city is connected with the mainland, 2.5 mi (4 km) away, by a rail and highway bridge. Between the islands run about 150 canals, mostly very narrow, crossed by some 400 bridges. The tourist trade is stimulated by many annual festivals, including ones devoted to painting, motion pictures, drama, and contemporary music. The Venice Biennale, which exhibits various kinds of modern art every other year, has been held there since 1895. Manufactures include lace, jewelry, flour, and Murano glass, and the city is a center for shipbuilding. 

                                                      



    Venice is an experience that you have to try once in a lifetime. In Venice light and water combine to create a restless magic. All borderlines are eradicated some where between dream and reality, present and past, the ethereal nature of this town has fascinated many famous people. 


                                               
    A must see if in Europe. Venice is truly "the" romantic city.
