Help a guy out..

[krewdude]

Hey everyone, my name is Krew. I'm 16 and I look almost identical to Jesse McCartney. Anyway I really want to "up" my wardrobe to something more refined. Iv been sticking to guess jeans and old navy top's for the last five year's and I think a change would be good.

Basically I need to create a wardrobe that can be mixed and matched (since I'm on a budget), be classy, hip and vibrant. The colors also need to blend well with my hair and skin tone (which look pretty much like jesse's).

To start I was thinking about going with Rock and Republic Jean’s and Ben Sherman shirts-jacket - accessories would include sunglasses by chanel and maybe a simple necklace. Any idea's would be great, because I kind of suck at this stuff.

could you post a picture of Jesse McCartney?

 

[krewdude]

Same light-tan skin tone, blonde hair, brown eyes

Welcome to the forum, Krew

For men's wear, I would suggest looking at Dior Homme, Dsquared, Prada, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano...hmmm...I could go on forever. At least that's a start

Dior Homme or something similar

Dior - black doesn't seem to work with the hair and all, makes me look shallow
Dsquared - funky clothing, but not quite ellegent enough

I'll check out some of the other's you mentioned in a few min! Thanks!

Edit - what do you think about d&g? do you guy's know any label's that have fairly reasonable price tag's and look hot? lol

Dior doesn't do black clothing exclusively

 

[krewdude]

Oh lol

Any idea where I can buy dior online? I kinda live in a little town, we don't have big-name designer's.

 

[Hipkitten]

Check out eluxury for Dior and a host of other great designers

 

[krewdude]

Eluxury has some nice stuff (juicy) - but nothing that really caught my eye. I found this site: http://www.psyche.co.uk it's pretty good.

What does everyone thing of armani exchange?

 

[yourbestfriend]

i personally dont like armani exchange or D&G, what type of style and price are you looking for?

I think you're absolutely right. If you're quite a well-built, blond-haired wholesome looking type like Jesse McCartney then Dior wouldn't really suit. I think D&G would make you look camp as would DSquared. How about something a little more classic?

 

[krewdude]

Here is what I'm looking at right now:

* Chanel sunglasses
* forzieri shoes
* pepe jeanshttp://www.ysl.com/

Thoughts? - I'm thinking colors like camel - vibrant apricot - deep brown and rust would play up the color of my hair a bit. Btw "princeofcats" your totally right!

 

[i_<3_chanel]

i like the idea of blues / greens . . aqua colours
a more cool palette
lots of shades of grey !

 

[krewdude]

I like your idea of the bright aqua's, but do you think the grey would work? My skintone is warm peach.


edit: just found this a moment ago, I like the jacket.

 

[i_<3_chanel]

grey is a classic
& there are lots of shades you can experiment with
to find the right grey . . warm/cool etc.
& i was actually thinking more subtle aqua . .
pistachio/sage . . looks hot w/blonde hair. haha !

not keen on those sunglasses
too girly !

 

[krewdude]

I think I read on ehow.com that moss green (sage) looks really good, so your probley right *wink* - but getting back on topic - does anyone have anymore idea's in term's of brands? I'v allready elliminated the following:

dior - too dark and wouldn't work with the hair
d&g - a bit too unkept
abercombie - too casual
chanel stuff for guys - too girly
dsquared - same as d&g
tommy polo - boring, plain

 

[krewdude]

How about Ben Sherman t-shirts, longshirts, jackets.. paired with Pepe or Armani jeans and forzieri runners?

 

[yourbestfriend]

not keen on those sunglasses
too girly !

agreed, they remind me of the jlo wannabes

Have you checked out urban outfitters? they have alot of stuff

www.urbanoutfitters.com or is that too casual?

 

[krewdude]

I'v actually checked out them, they have a couple nice little peice's. However generally being honest I find most of the stuff they carry overly-trendy.
