Style code of conduct

Fashion truly has no boundaries as you can get your inspiration from anywhere- from a girl's scarf in the township to the mechanics uniform at a workshop and the list goes on. An idea comes from anywhere in fashion and then you fully process it into your own style and thats where you have code of conduct. Many fashionovers* flout the style code of conduct deliberately or ignorantly raising questions about their fashionista status.
Here are some style blunders:

                                         
CLEAVAGE BARING
It's distasteful & a style off to bare cleavage to the wrong places like church, market, office, business meetings, family gatherings, school, casual visits etc.
You wonder why you walk through the door with that new guy and he drop down his jeans like you suppose to drop to your knees? (well if he's kewl why not LOL) 
Aint nobody gon' raise eyebrows when you go to clubs (pubs, bars), crazy gatherings, hip hop events, naughty parties with your boobies on full display (we like to stare anyway;))

PACKAGE SHOW OFF
I know guys like to show off and do some sexhibition but its not only distracting, its disrespectful to those who have nothing to show off even in a skinny jeans (ROTFLOL) Guy's your John Thomas has no reason to go on display at any public function (well except clubs and the likes) so pack well and if you are on XL please tuck in* properly

THE PERMANENT FACE
You don't have a permanent make up neither do you have perm. facial surgery so how come your face looks thesame every darn time. Its the bloody red lip, blue eyeshadow, multi color bronzer and blush cheeks at every appearance (work, party, shopping stores) Give your face some air and life, learn the word 'variety' and even if this is your best look save it for days you need to make an impression. Day & night are different so why should your face look thesame?

GROOMED EYEBROWS
Yes guys love to appear clean and groomed now its the metro-sexual world so relax ladies and don't ring the alarm yet. You can only snap & call him a cab if he's obsessed with it- especially if he likes his eyebrows heading south-west or even thiner than lil' kim's with a curvy arch than your own. Nothing stands a guy out beside his girl than a well groomed bushy full eyebrows (don't look like your girlfriends dyke)

STOP THE BRAZILLIAN MADNESS
Ladies this is not only offensive to the style code of conduct its loony at its height. Yes if you don't have hair you can buy some- not all and look like an acient oracle. Get back to basics ladies and wear your weaves properly, be proud of your roots not covering your head and body with 100 packs of brazillian/ indian hair. You think God didnt know why your hair is short and theirs long?

CRAZY HAIR CUTS
You ask why all your friends and collegues or even girls never take you seriously thats coz you look like a joke. How you gon' wear your hair like a porcupine and then act like a boss (well except you are bossing your likes) its good to get your edgy side on but do it with taste.

THE AGE LONG ASHY STORIES
This has been offensive since the evolution of fashion & style and guilty of this are men and women -the ashy knees, hands, skin etc. The secret is a good mosturising lotion if you don't want to look like you crawled to the venue on your knees neither do you want to look like you bathe in johnson's baby oil (if excess lotion or oil is applied-thats a greasy look)

                               Remember if you don't feel too confident in it, its a bad look!

Own your Style

I was flipping through some style reviews from some celebs and one thing that seems to always stick out is everyone thinking alike. Style really is innate, it evokes your personality and reflect your attitude without understating your worth.
Its amazing how we all get on the celeb train of expensive designer wears to create that style profile for ourselves yet some still lack that 'wow' factor.
You can throw on Yves Saint Laurent, Marc jacobs, Prada and even match a Hermes or Coach altogether and still go unnoticed all you 'd be is a label whore. Designer wears and accessories sure boost confidence but rocking a well put together high street fashion with a mix of designer labels gives an edge.

The trick of high street fashion however is avoid picking too many things at thesame time or having a whole esemble from a particular store......silly thing about that is you will have 'family members' on the streets (people wearing same thing as you). The magic of that stunning high street outlook is pickng a pant from H&M, top from Zara and accessories from Top Man /Topshop

Lastly, we all do trends one way or the other but don't be a trend slore or a store mannequin replica on the streets -that is just hilarious. We all have different body, personality & flair so better be sure you can rock that mens short, short pants or ladies jumpsuit fore' you pay for it. Always own your style and do something different even if its a trend without creating a busy get-up look.
 Switch on the bold masc colors guys - brown shoes are hot items too
 Orange is in this spring, its all bout bright colors as long you ain't lookin' like a grown pumpkin
 Guys i know we are now used to our skinnys but let it rest, loose fits are comin' back (lets get our masc on again) Don't do baggy though except you *Hip Hop
 Doing high street this way will make huns' want a grab hahaha....

 Print footwears are in guys...here's a Christian Louboutin sneekers for guys
 Another flat print mens shoes
 Color blocking is still making statements just remember to match complemeting colors & keep it simple
Print pumps for ladies
Any pair of print is cool here's a sandal

Remember if you don't feel too confident in it.....its a bad look!
