Especially the stuff about flattering fit and colour. I assume you're looking for men's clothing and not women's? (Some men are interested in wearing women's fashions, which is equally interesting, but a different sort of ballgame, of course).</p> <p>I don't pay much heed to the seasonal colour stuff myself, but there is a kernel of truth to it. Certain palettes suit certain complexions, and men have complexions too. But there's more to being fashion-forward than just choosing the right colours. What sort of clothing are you interested in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-point-of-view-as-a-man#post-657694 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 23:46:27 +0000 rae 657694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello and welcome! I *definitely* think everything that applies to women also applies to men - from color choices to using optical illusions to emphasize your figure attributes. There's a lot more out there besides ties and cufflinks! In fact, I love taking inspiration from menswear for my own outfits. </p> <p>Incidentally, I spent the past month wearing nothing but outfits inspired by men:<br /> <a href="http://lookfab.com/browse/onedollarwonders" rel="nofollow">http://lookfab.com/browse/onedollarwonders</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-other-point-of-view-as-a-man#post-657689 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 23:38:58 +0000 Kreptzor 657689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heyo!<br /> So I guess I think of myself as an aspiring, newbie fashionista. And seeing as this forum is so full of such fashion oriented people (women being the plus!), I was wondering how fashion worked on the flip-side, for men.</p> <p>As I've noticed on my search for fashion, for men, all I've seen are different kinds of ties and tuxedoes or jackets, but I feel there has to be more than that. As I browsed through these forums, I saw color wheel matching, winter-season types, etc. Do all these translate into the realm of men? What should I be looking for? Can I call myself a winter-season dresser and base my clothing off of that?</p> <p>Your newbieness,<br /> Kreptzor </p>
