All men have their own personal tastes when it comes to fashion and appearance. Making sure you embrace your personality and own unique taste is important when it comes to developing your fashion sense. However, what is the in look for men at the moment? Is it that smooth, trendy, city slicker kind of look or does the world now demand something more edgy and exciting from men and their fashions?
Well, the truth is that men – just like women – can now mix and match looks for a really unique finish. You can purchase all sorts of great accessories that can make you look edgier from places such as the Bikerringshop. However, you can team them with casual or even smart clothes in some cases, so you get to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Combining Trendy and Edgy for a Great Look
We’ve all heard of smart casual, where you combine smart clothes with casual ones to create a relaxed yet classy look. Well, you can do the same with most fashion trends, so combining trendy with edgy is definitely a possibility. When you look at the fashion sense of people like James Dean, you can see that he managed to do this quite successfully.
The secret to achieving this goal is to ensure that you have the right types of clothing and accessories. When you think of trendy, you think of clothes such as regular fit jeans, tailored shirts, and sneaker for men. When you think edgy, you think more about skinny jeans, leather jackets, and black t-shirts. So, what’s to stop you from combining these two looks and coming up with your own ‘tredgy’ look?
Combining skinny jeans with a casual blazer is a tailored shirt is one way in which you can achieve this look. The skinny jeans will add the edge while the shirt or blazer gives it a softer, more casual finish. In terms of footwear, you could go either way – and edgy pair of winkle pickers or a trendy pair of sneaker, as either will look fine.
Alternatively, you can team up regular fit jeans and sneakers with a leather jacket and white or black t-shirt. This will help you to recreate more of a James Dean trendy look with an edge. Again, you can use accessories to help add more edginess or trendiness depending on which one you prefer.
This is a great way to enjoy having a versatile wardrobe and trying out different looks. You can enjoy looking unique rather than part of a crowd that all dresses the same. You’ll also be able to pick and choose where you go, as you will look just as at home in a rock pub as you will in a trendy bar. Fashion is a great way of showing your personality and style, and by trying out new looks such as this you can show off your versatility and sense of adventure to others.
