Bună dimineața Primavara, Bună dimineața prieteni!

În ciuda zilelor ploioase și a dimineților întunecate cu aer rece, este confortabil să stii că Martie este prima lună de primăvară. Zilele puloverelor voluminoase pe care le purtăm ca să ne țină cald sunt aproape uitate.

A venit momentul să ne reorganizăm dressingul și să ne alegem ținutele de primăvară iar una dintre culorile must have ale acestui sezon este beige, o culoare ce nu se demodează indiferent de trend.

Culorile neutre sunt mereu o alegere ușoară și sigură, sunt perfecte pentru acele zile în care garderopa îți pare neprietenoasă și nu ai nici cea mai mica idee cu ce să te îmbraci pentru birou sau o întâlnire de business. Beige este culoare de primăvară pe care o poți accesa pentru a înlocui negru, negru pe care l-ai tot purtat în lunile reci de iarnă. Beige este chic, elegant și nu va ieși niciodată din trend.

Perioada de tranziție de la iarna la primăvara ne poate creea de multe ori dificultăți în a alege ce să purtăm, cu temperaturi ce fluctuează ne este dificil să intuim vremea de la o zi la alta. În această situație prima modificare în dressing este să renunți la jachetele groase de iarnă și să alegi ceva mai practic: jachete mai subțiri, jachete scurte și jachete de ploaie, toate aceste variante sunt excelente până când temperaturile vor crește, îți oferă protecție împotriva condițiilor meteo nefavorabile și sunt suficient de groase astfel încât să nu îți fie prea cald.

Suntem norocoși să găsim aproape orice tip de jachetă în tonuri de beige și putem asorta o jacheta beige cu ușurintă la un jeans sau un chino. Pentru pictorialul de astăzi am ales un outfit smart casual urban minimalistic având ca element de baza trenciul beige.

Probabil te intrebi ce pantaloni sunt cea mai bună alegere pentru un trenci beige. Este foarte simplu! Dacă ești fan denim atunci alege o pereche de jeans. Iar dacă vrei ca pantalonul să fie ceva mai elegant, poți alege pantalonul unui costum din dressing-ul tau sau o pereche de chinos. Eu am ales o pereche de chinos din raw denim, un pantalon chino este adesea folosit pentru o tinuta casual sau formala iar albastrul inchis este o culoare perfecta pentru birou. Pentru zile insorite iti recomand o pereche de pantaloni albi, merg perfect cu trenciul beige!

Ce punem pe sub trenciul beige? Este alegerea ta, și sigur nu ai avea bătăi de cap. Eu am optat pentru un pulover subțire peste o cămașă, imediat după ședinta foto aveam o întâlnire planificată și nu aș fi avut timp să mă schimb. Alege o cămașă în care te simți bine și poți pune chiar și un cardigan lung peste, ține cont să nu alegi o piesă vestimentară mai lungă decât trenciul. La capitolul incălțăminte sortimentul pe care îl poți accesa este bogat, poți purta pantofi sport pentru o ținuta de stradă, pantofi eleganți pentru birou sau întâlniri și ghete sau cizme pentru o zi ploioasă.

Un weekend frumos vă doresc!

Hello Spring! Hello friends!

Despite the rainy days, cold air and gloomy dark mornings, it’s comforting to know that March is the 1^st month of spring. The days when our chunky knits are meant keep us warm are nearly forgotten. It is the time now to plan our spring outfits and colors and I will start with a trend that will never be outdated: NUDE!

Neutrals are always an easy choice and perfect for those days when your wardrobe looks unfriendly at you and you have no idea what would you like to wear that day at work or a business meeting. Beige is the tone you should wear in spring as an alternative to the black you worn in winter months. It is chick, elegant, stylish and timeless.

The transitional period from winter to spring many times gives us difficulties I choosing what to wear, temperatures are fluctuating and it is hard to predict weather conditions from one day to the other. This case the first adjustment to your wardrobe should be to ditch the big winter overcoats and go for something more practical: lightweight in between jackets, cropped bombers and raincoats, all these are excellent top layers as the temperatures begin to rise providing protection from the elements while ensuring you don’t overheat.

We are lucky to find the nude tones on nearly every outerwear silhouette and we can mix and match easily jeans or chinos in different cuts and washes. For today’s shooting I picked a minimalist urban smart casual outfit.

Are you are in doubt of which pants are a better match to your beige trench? It’s easy! If you are a denim lover choose some denims. If you wanna go for a more formal look you should then take the trousers from one of your suits or a pair of chinos. My pick is a slim raw denim chino. The silhouette of this trouser makes it a casual/formal pant and the navy color gives that office feeling. You can match a beige trench with white trousers as well, it is perfect for cold sunny days.

Underneath, the layering is by your choice. For the morning meeting I have my thoughts were for a formal outfit, that’s the reason I wear a shirt and v-neck knitwear, because right after the shooting i had a meeting scheduled and there was no time to change the outfit. Go for a comfortable shirt and add a long cardigan over it, take in consideration one thing, whatever you choose, it shouldn’t be longer than the trench coat. Shoes options for this outfit are wide, try sneakers for a street style outfit, some elegant shoes for the office look and the boots for rainy days, whatever you choose it won’t be wrong.

Enjoy the weekend guys!

Oversized squares and warm knits

Hey!

When winter comes we are all thinking about the hot summer days, holidays at the seaside and long tropical nights with beach or pool party, but we still have to wait until summer is again here. Until then let’s find warmth with good looks for winter season.

From flowers to butterflies to tapestry, there were so many patterns across the catwalks this season – however when we looked back, we noticed squares were everywhere, whether used in big, bold blocks of color or as patches on jeans or coats.

Geometric prints as one of the most prominent fashion trends for men can already expect a guy’s traditional autumn / winter wardrobe to get a little bit of fun. Count on the subtle splashes of color, and on the playful juxtaposition of shapes, to ensure all the elements necessary in helping revamp both the classic, and the more modern menswear silhouettes intended for the cold months.

If your wardrobe is minimal and you would like to ad some geometric prints into your closet, choose the subtle route. Think in terms of classic how to join the art of geometric prints, wear over your favorite white shirt a geometric cardigan or knitted jacket, it is enough to make your outfit stand out.

My pick is a fine zip knitwear in big colored squares for today’s photoshoot. To make this inspiration easy for you, I layered this knot over a white shirt and blue denims. I thought that for every guy to combine a bite shirt with blue denims is a routine already so why not change this basic outfit in an outstanding one. Wear shoes in a matching color and ad an oversized scarf, accessories will always complete your look.

Enjoy the weekend guys!

Marsala: Wine, city or color?

Buna dimineata,

La sfarsitul anului 2014 Pantone a anuntat Marsala ca fiind culoarea anului 2015. Sunt sigur ca ati auzit despre Marsala dar posibil sa nu stiti care este provenienta acestei culori, asa ca vom vorbi putin pe final de an despre aceasta culoare

Marsala este cel mai populat oras situat in regiunea Tripani, in Sicilia. Orasul este cunoscut pentru andocarea lui Garibaldi in 11 mai 1860 dar si pentru delicioasele vinuri Marsala. Acest vin, sec sau dulce, este produs in Sicilia si detine un certificat de origine din 1969. In timp ce localnicii acestui oras consuma varianta vintage a vinului Marsala, vinul produs pentru export este intotdeauna fortifiat la fel ca vinurile Port, Madeira sau Sherry. Adaosul de alcohol se facea pentru ca vinul sa reziste la transportul maritim pe o perioada indelungata, iar acum se foloseste in continuare aditia de alcohol pe pietele internationale pentru a mentine popularitatea creeata de acest vin. [sursa: wikipedia]

O alta culoare care a fost mereu prezenta pe podiumuri este Burgundy. Numele apartine regiunii franceze unde se produce vinul cu aceeasi denumire. Este cunoscut atat ca vin rosu cat si ca vin alb, in general facut din soiuri de Pinot Noir si Chardonay dar si alte varietati de struguri printre care si Gamay, Aligote, Pinot blanc and Sauvignon blac. Regiunea este impartita, astfel, in Côte-d’Or se cultiva cele mai pretioase si premiate soiuri de struguri pentru vinul Burgundy si Côte Chalonnaise and Mâcon.

Burgundy a fost – istorical – culoarea purtata in Regatul Britanic Victorian, rosu sau rosu inchis fiind adesea purtat de catre gentlemen. Cel mai comun palton fiind cel cu un singur randuri de nasturi, cu o talie inalta. Aceste paltoane simbolizau masculinitatea si eleganta.

In 2015 nu silueta paltonului este vedeta ci culoarea care este atat de usor de purtat si asortat cu aproape orice. In concluzie, Burgundy & Marsala sunt ambele culori ale vinurilor folosite in industria modei in special in sezonul rece. Din moment ce Marsala este culoarea anului 2015, in acest sezon vom vorbi putin despre ea. Aleg sa o port in sezonul de iarna pentru ca este o culoare ce se incadreaza perfect cu temperaturile scazute ale sezonului si decorul naturii, frunze ruginii cazute si mai tarziua zapada.

Cand vine vorba de posibile combinatii de culoare in care sa includem Marsala nu cred ca aveti nevoie de prea multe sfaturi. Sunt convins ca v-ati gandit sa combinati Marsala cu albastru marin si alb, este o combinatie usoara care arata bine; insa Marsala fiind o culoare versatila se poate asorta usor cu aproape orice culoare, ca de exemplu: camel, beige, alb, negru, gri, antracit, albastru, albastru marin sau albastru electric, maro, cognac, verde, inclusiv culori metalice ca auriu sau argintiu.

Am ales ca pentru acest pictorial sa folosesc Marsala intr-un outfit urban/casual cu inflkuente rock. Am imbracat o pereche de jeansi biker skinny si ghete “military” alaturi de o camasa alba si un pulover, articole ce le port adesea la birou. Pentru a completa outfitul am ales o jacheta din velour. Puteti purta aproape orice articol vestimentar Marsala, de exemplu o pereche de jeans Marsala cu tenesi albi inalti, un tricou gri si o jacheta de jeans albastra.

Fiti creativi si purtati Marsala toata iarna.

Good morning,

Pantone announced last winter the color of 2015, and that is Marsala, I’m sure all of you heard about it. Might be that you don’t know where it comes from, so let me tell you a bit about it.

Marsala is an Italian town located in the Province of Trapani in the westernmost part of Sicily. Marsala is the most populated town in Trapani District and the fifth in Sicily. The town is famous for the docking of Garibaldi on 11 May 1860 and for its Marsala wine. Marsala is a delicious Italian wine, dry or sweet, produced in Sicily and granted the certificate of origin in 1969. While the city’s natives sometimes drink “vintage” Marsala, the wine produced for export is universally fortified similar to Port, Madeira and Sherry. Originally, this addition of alcohol was to ensure that it would last on long ocean voyages, but now it is made that way because of its popularity in foreign markets. [source: wikipedia]

One of the colors that almost always takes the stage during the fall season is the burgundy color. Burgundy is one of France’s main wine producing areas. It is well known for both its red and white wines, mostly made from Pinot noir and Chardonnay grapes, respectively, although other grape varieties can be found, including Gamay, Aligote, Pinot blanc, and Sauvignon blanc. The region is divided into the Côte-d’Or, where the most expensive and prized Burgundies are found, and Beaujolais, Chablis, the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâcon. Burgundy was – historically – worn for formal events in Victorian Britain, the gentlemen were often wearing deep or dark red. The most common outerwear was the single breasted buton long coats, with a high waistline, these jackets epitomised elegance and masculinity.

In 2015 the hype is not only a formal favourite item, it is the colour which is so easy to mix and match with nearly whatever. In conclusion, Burgundy & Marsala are both shades of wine color used a lot in fashion industry during fall season. Since Marsala is the color of the year, this season we will speak about it. I wear it more in the fall-winter season than the spring-summer season just because it is a darker color and it fits so well with the cold weather, rusty leaves and snow. When we speak about color combinations you should not need to much advice. I am sure you think already that Marsala with navy and white would look good, in fact the color is so easy to mix and match that you can pair it with a lot of colors, for example: camel, beige, white, black, grey, blue, navy, Olympian or electric blue, gray, anthracite, brown, cognac, green; even with metallic colors like silver and gold.

My choice for this photo shooting was to make with Marsala a casual/urban outfit with a rock touch. I paired black biker coated jeans and military boots with a white shirt with tie and knit that i usually wear at the office. on top a velour bomber felt like the right jacket to add.
You can wear nearly any article in this color, for example, i find easy to combine a Marsala pair of denims with white high tops and a gray t-shirt and an easy blue jeans jacket. As a final word i’d say you should really enjoy wearing Marsala this winter.

black on BLACK

Textul in Româna in a doua jumatate a articolului.

Good morning friends,

We are black lovers! We LOVE black and this is not because we don’t have imagination to combine colors and patterns, it’s because we just LOVE black. We had hot as hell days this summer when we wished for and now it feels so right to wear it when the cold weather is right here.

Black is not only easy to wear and to be combined with nearly whatever you can find in your wardrobe, it is also extremely sophisticated, this makes black an excellent choice for the upcoming party season. Black is also good to start wearing monochrome outfits, ALL BLACK is a timeless trend.Black will definitely not need to be boring. Make it glam, make it sparkle, add some statement details such as metallic finishes, satin or leather lapels, or some velvet construction. Counting this I put together a black on black outfit as inspiration for your daily stylish workwear, a fine Polka dotted blazer with casual pants and military boots. This outfit is meant to provide you inspiration of how to add an urban touch to your black blazer and white shirt safe combination.

About the blazer, you can pair a black blazer from a suit of yours as well. If you have a plain blazer or structured one they are also good. I’m sure all of you have a favorite black blazer in your closet that you really like.

Regarding the pants, my choice is a tapered casual low crotch pant in a material mix. I wanted the pants to give a relaxed look to this sharp blazer, to make it more easy to wear. You can combine several different types of trousers in black and dark grey on this outfit, from skinny ripped jeans, chinos to sweat suit inspired trousers.

Shoes should be a strong element in this outfit. Instead of choosing a sharp pair of brogues i picked a fine pair of military boots. For a better understanding of the military boots i quoted bellow some information on this topic:

Military boots designed to be worn by soldiers during combat or combat training as opposed to during parades and other ceremonial duties. Modern combat boots are designed to provide a combination of grip, ankle stability, and foot protection suitable for a rugged environment. They are traditionally made of hardened, and sometimes waterproofed leather. Today, many combat boots incorporate technologies originating in civilian hiking boots, such as Gore-Tex nylon side panels, which improve ventilation and comfort. They are also often specialized for certain climates and conditions, such as jungle boots, desert boots, and cold weather boots as well as specific uses, such as tanker boots and jump boots [source: wikipedia]

The military boots i wear in this outfit were the perfect match due to the height of the silhouette and the fine leather. You can still make this outfit urban by pairing some sneakers or sport shoes in same black.

When you choose the accessories, make sure you put around your wrist a black leather bracelet and wear your favorite sunglasses.

Bună dimineața,

Iubim negru! Iubim NEGRU și asta nu din cauză că nu avem imaginație pentru a asorta culori si modele, imprimeuri, ci pentru că ne place negru. Am avut zile toride în această vară când ne-am dorit să purtăm negru iar acum, când sezonul rece este aici, să purtăm negru este atât de natural.

Negru nu este doar ușor de purtat și asortat cu aproape orice vă este la îndemâna din garderoba personală, negru este de asemenea extrem de sofisticat, motiv pentru care negru este o alegere perfecta pentru outfiturile de party din acest sezon. Negru este o opțiune bună pentru a începe să purtați outfituri monocromatice, ALL BLACK este un trend ce nu se va demoda niciodată.

Negru nu va fi plictisitor. Faceți-l Glam sau strălucitor, adăugați câteva detalii statement: accesorii metalice, satin sau piele sau aplicații din catifea. Ținând cont de toate acestea am făcut un outfit urban ca inspirație pentru un outfit stylish de zi cu zi. Acest outfit este menit să vă inspire să adăugați o notă urbană sacolului negru asortat cu cămașa albă.

Dacă doriți puteți să includeți în acest outfit un sacou al costumului negru aflat în garderobă, se va potrivi cu siguranță.

Referitor la pantaloni, eu am ales un pantalon taper casual cu turul lăsat. Am vrut ca pantalonul să adauge o nota relaxată sacoului elegant, să îl facă mai ușor de purtat. Puteți asorta la acest outfit de la jeanși rupți, pantaloni chino până la joggers cu o croială similară a pantalonilor de costum.

Încălțămintea trebuie să fie un element puternic al acestui outfit. În loc să aleg o pereche elegantă de brogues, am mers pe varianta de bocanci military din piele. Bocancii pe care îi port la acest outfit au fost alegerea perfectă pentru înălțimea lor si materialul din care sunt confecționați. Poți face acest outfit urban și cu o pereche de sneakers sau pantofi sport de aceeași culoare: negru.

the body warmer

25NovDecember 4, 2015 By Emilio Ghaman

Good morning!

Looking for a fresh outlook with the pieces i already have in my wardrobe, i choose to give another chance to the body warmer.

The gilet was originally worn more as a decorative vest during the 19^th century in France, embodying style more than it did warmth unlike what we see from body warmers of today. Despite the major change in functionality to a more practical purpose, the actual style of this piece of clothing hasn’t changed much over its history, largely retaining popular features such as its smooth and tight fit.[source:www. coes.co.uk]

Its sleeveless nature also gives the body warmer a layering edge offering much needed warmth for your body without bulking out your arms. Those of you who have tried layering a shirt and a knit under a blazer or a jacket will already know that it is almost impossible to fit another piece comfortably in the sleeves of your jacket, especially if it fits you properly. The body warmer negates this problem entirely, allowing you to introduce another layer or pop of color.

A lightly padded, down-filled version of a body warmer is ideal. It should be thick enough to keep you warm and thin enough so you can wear it under a blazer or a denim jacket. Your body warmer should fit similar to a waistcoat: cut slim through the body with high armholes to ensure your silhouette remains streamlined and sharp.

OUTFIT: GUESS Jeans, SCOTCH&SODA Body warmer & T-shirt, POLO RALPH LAUREN Belt, DSQUARED2 Sunglasses, ASOS Shoes

Although you might think that neutral versions are easier to wear into any of your current go-to looks, you should consider a bold colored design, It will add a statement punch to your day wear looks.

My personal choice is a patched multi-colored body warmer, in a slim fit, with bulky pockets. When undecided how to wear it think that this item can be worn over a t-shirt, a shirt or even a pullover or a sweater or if you want to show it just a layer the best option should be to wear it under a blazer or a jacket. The body warmer is an item perfect in between the season changes, like before the cold weather comes.

You can use a body warmer either you dress-up for sports or to go out for a beer with your friends or a date. Play with it i various combinations, it is so easy!

Feel Good, LOOK Great!
