Invited to a party that isn't that formal, you may wear alternatives to tuxedos. Here are some tips.
Leather jacket, white dinner shirt, bow tie (colorful bow ties are great too), black skinny jeans and black leather shoes (perhaps more formal shoes, suede is fine too)
Chris Brown
Pink blazer, white shirt, bow tie or regular tie, black skinny jeans (could also work with chinos if it isn't formal) and formal shoes.
Bruno Mars
Black blazer, navy blue shirt, black formal pants and black woody glasses.
Just beware of formal requirements before you put on an alternative tuxedo.
...you wear them around like you're cooler than me.
It's summer. It's hot. And the sun is blinding us! No need to worry, I've got you covered on how to look stylish when you're out in the sun.
Here are my favorite picks:
#1: Aviator sunglasses from a-morir. Remember my post about a-morir? If you don't, then check it out. Now. These sunglasses are called Halford II, named after the famous heavy metal singer Rob Halford. Although they are covered in Swarovski crystals, they are completely functional. $400 at a-morir.com.

#2: PlastiChic is a Canadian company known for their colorful watches and sunglasses. Especially their Woody sunglasses have caught my attention. Made of real bamboo and available in 10 different colors, these glasses are definitely not the usual eyewear. Its dreamy pastel colors are ideal for the summer season. For only $105, not sure if Canadian dollars, you can buy them at plastichic.ca. My favorites are the yellow and green glasses.
#3: Carrera is one of the most famous brands of sunglasses out there. Affordable and worn by celebrities, these glasses are fresh and timeless. These particular glasses are called Carrera 6000 in soft black/crystal black. No price is stated.
#4: Aviator sunglasses - also from Carrera. More average but still very cool.
Hey guys. I was in Amsterdam about two weeks ago and I got this really cool t-shirt from Zara for only $25! It's really different! I'm probably gonna wear this with some dark blue short with turn-ups/cuff.
I've recently bought a leather jacket. Okay, it's not made of real leather - it's synthetic but as long as it's awesome and you can't tell unless you touch it, I'm fine with it.
The jacket is from Zara and you can get it for about $140 which is pricey for a synthetic leather jacket but it's awesome.
Hey!
Just bought a new t-shirt from H&M. It's not really white, it's ivory with really dark blue stripes but the stripes don't cover the entire t-shirt.
Striped t-shirts are hot and you know it! You can find them in different varieties such as this one with graduated stripes from ASOS on sale for only $22.38 here. Cool, huh? I really dig the red stripes.
