It's Still Elegant: “The Urban Twist”

| | 2 comments
Mills Duodu-Everyday Style Editor
It seems like the average customary culture is biased to one aspect of clothing, therefore the results are different taste in clothing and the wearing of attire. To loosen one’s mind of this cultural dressing stigma, pay close attention. I am here to bring you the “Urban twist.”





Taking a survey around your present neighborhoods, you may find a common suit of attire. For example, those residing in Manhattan might like to dress in what is called a “preppy” look while others in Queens would put on the “casual” look. The trick my fellow cohort is to adjust and make a combination of those styles. Think of it as a compromise, an insight, a new idea.




















Let us take a look at the outfit I have on in the photograph here. As you can see, there is a mixture and hint of both “preppy” and “casual.” The Urban Twist look here consists of a pair of converses, a cotton flat-ended necktie, an oxford shirt, and a throw on jacket. 



Outfit


Pants- H&M, Sneakers- Converse, Belt - Banana Republic, Shirt- American Apparel, Necktie- Lord&Taylor Cotton ties.




Sneakers Casual, basic wear

The NORMAL critique
Pants – Both casual and preppy and sets off a blend in an attire. The pants bring out the rest of an outfit, so people let us try our best to stay away from over-sized(baggy) pants.










Shirt- Preppy used to dress for normally formal events.

Necktie- Preppy, seen as part of formal wear, and “tie-occasions” such as interviews, church etc.

Jacket- casual, adds what you would call a bad-boy look


The Real Deal:

As you can see, there is nothing wrong in combining the two contrasting looks of clothing. There is always the task of being circumspect in your choice of clothing. You can wear that tie that you never used for that useless interview… with sneakers. You want the best of both worlds.Try something new. Dress cap-a-pie in style, Try the urban twist!



P.S : REALLY STAY AWAY FROM OVERSIZED CLOTHING!

  1. It would help if you could let your viewers know where to find the items the gentleman is wearing (and give more than one option of stores, or thrift joints, or online places where we can affordably find them). Just showing us an outfit and a quick write-up about it puts the attention on the individual rather than the goal of the blog to " educate [its] followers". Nonetheless, nicely done gentlemen.
