Well Hellooo Ale-Gators!
First of all HAPPY NEW YEAR! so it's 2015 and It's the beginning of the biggest year for me and it's time for my first Mens style post!
Now I may not be the most up to date on fashion but I think I have a pretty good personal style going on, with me Less is more, not going over the top with your colours (believe me it happens way too much) so if you want to avoid looking like Simon from the inbetweeners always think your outfit out Lads...
Now I think we should start at the most important look first.....
The Three Piece Suit:
Mine is a very snazzy looking five button three piece suit that is brilliantly made for a
VERY decent price! I use it for all kinds of events, Weddings, high profile parties(stifle your laughing it does happen!), Interviews, Meeting, The Works! and seeing as I got the whole suit (Including shoes) for the low price of £70 and I'm so happy with it, I'd say it's a fantastic buy! it doesn't feel cheap and nasty but very well made and came in exactly the right sizes that I ordered it was a bloody good bargain! Now you can't get this style any more but why would you want to copy? there's loads of suits and outfits on VERY so you can make your own style! I love being different from others! if the world had more individuals then it would be a better place!
Clubbing look:
OK so this look is a lot like the last one just minus the suit jacket and trousers! I like to have that smart look when I go clubbing so I often wear a Waistcoat with some black Chinos, normally with a slightly unbuttoned shirt so I am still comfortable to move around, I then normally will have my Black 3/4 coat on over the top until I get into the club/bar I am going to for the evening.
Workout gear:
For working out I refuse to allow myself to look too lazy, normally if I am heading for a long work out I'll wear a beanie, a vest, a hooded Jacket and jogging trousers (the only time you will ever catch me in them). there's not really much to say about this look as it's one that is designed for when i exercise... Except that I find the more you "make it yours" as in how comfortable you are wearing it because it's what you have chosen, is a huge helping hand with the actual exercise as you feel better in yourself and feel more comfortable to push your self further!
The Band outfits:
Now these can be many and various between the bands you are in... i will list off my main ones here:
, I'll label them by Band Name as I've had different styles for each band! then You can decide which one suits best! lets begin!
DARK SANITY:
Now, when Dark Sanity came around We were aiming for a Rap/Rock band and as One of the rappers I had to dress accordingly, normally for the band I would be rocking a snap back of some sort as well as matching sunglasses, with a black hoody, I will admit that I was not a huge fan of this look but You do what You have to! I liked to wear sleeveless shirts for drumming and hot practice sessions, normally with a standard pair of jeans, Converse topped off this look with a personal twist! I also had my hair and beard kept short, I kind of got used to this style for band practice, I decided after I joined Sound Proof that I would change My style again!
When SoundProof started we were a kind of covers band, covering everything from Fall out boy to Frank Sinatra(hence the suits). so our look had to emulate that in anyway possible, so we wore clothes to a style that we could customise, I personally liked the suits we wore at the time, I kept my hair short for a time with a goatee then I decided to grow both my beard and my hair, I was with SoundProof for around three years, slowly changing My style, until the band split up due to uni commitments of some of Our members.
SOLO WORK:
After SoundProof split up I decided to start going solo, it was then I realised I had complete freedom with my style! I'll admit that I felt quite awesome being able to dress however I wanted for band work, aswel as public appearances while I was a radio presenter, I found that people were more relaxed with the fact I was laid back, I was happy with how I looked and felt, I am a fan of the rock style, I mean I LOVE it!
The standard style at this point was a long sleeved shirt, skinny jeans (preferably black) braces, black hoody and either a denim or a leather jacket, as I said, Rock style is the best!
THE RISE:
And now We have the newest endeavor, The Rise was a band I started with Michael Thomas, We were a Rock/rap group who also did covers, the whole idea of the band was that we had different personalities when We were on stage, Mine was Dark noble, a mysterious figure who played Bass and Rapped, I wore a silver and black mask and I mostly wore My solo work style, as it fitted with the style We were going for!
for public appearances(like gigs) I would wear the mask and hoody, as part of Our shows we were supposed to remain anonymous, unfortunately as I moved to the midlands and other band members had other commitments We were left with no choice but to end the band and go Our separate ways....
For Now....
