It’s not hard to find yourself looking at a male model on the cover of Vogue or GQ, and thinking, “this guy is so fancy and gets all the ladies”. But in reality, he’s not much different from you. It’s just the way he chooses to look and come off to others is different from you. Everyone is different in personality and the way they look, but I believe everyone can look good. Some are better or easier than others, but it’s very simple to look good and appeal to others as a “model”. Boys, I got you. Today, I’m going to give you 5 simple tips to make you stand out from the crowd and make you a cleaner-looking person (in no particular order).

Accessories

A very subtle, yet clean and effective part of your game that not enough people consider enough. Little details can make or break the way you look. Wearing simple bracelets, necklaces, sunglasses, watches, and chains can compliment the way you look. They add a little amount of pop to what you already have and make you look fancy and classy. Without accessories in your arsenal, it almost makes it feel like something is missing from what you are wearing, and wearing subtle accessories completes your outfit. Accessories are something that I would highly recommend adding to your game. Here is a link to the necklace I have: Chain with number pendant.

Smell

People will always remember you based on what you smell like, and that will also decide if they like you or not. It’s time you throw away the crappy AXE body spray and go get some real cologne. Michael Jordan, Paris, Acqua Di Gio, even Versace if you are looking for a high-quality cologne. Imagine being a girl and going on a date with a guy you like, and he smells like he just got done dumpster diving at the pizza shop across the street. It would be awful, right? It’s very important to smell as good as possible to attract others to you and want to be next to you. When applying cologne, spray it on the back of both of your hands, your chest, and the back of your neck. By doing this, the cologne is getting on your skin as opposed to your clothes. It will stick and stay on your skin, and get messed up if it’s on your clothing. I use this Versace Eros cologne.

Fashion/Dress

People will judge you at first strictly based on what you dress like. If you look like crap, they most likely will not even consider getting to know you better or be interested in you. Wearing outfits that look clean and match will turn heads and interest others. There are all kinds of different types of clothes and ways to wear them, and that’s where it gets fun. Mixing and matching outfits based on what you like is fun and switching it up often will always give people a fresh look at you. A person who is more athleisure may want to invest in some PacSun shorts and T-Shirts, as well as hoodies. Someone who likes more baggy clothes will want to look into hoodies, skater pants from Dickies, shoes from Jordan and Nike, the options are limitless.

The shoe game is also essential, a person who rocks dirty shoes will not get nearly as much interest and respect from others as they should. Make sure you keep it simple and clean and try not to overdo it. Jordan has always been a staple in the shoe game, and they have hundreds upon hundreds of pairs of shoes to pick from for roughly $125-$150. Vans is another big shoe brand, but they are much cheaper, roughly $30-$60 for some very good quality shoes.

Lastly, the hat game. Hats are something I pride myself in, I tend to buy a lot of hats for around $45-$50 every month. I pick from all different colors and designs so I can mix and match them with different outfits. Wearing and buying multiple items of the same color will not add flair and variety to your outfits. From pink to black, I have many different fitted hats, they add a very unique part to an outfit I don’t think people think about enough.

There are all kinds of ways to look good depending on aesthetic and body type that I won’t get into, but the fashion game is arguably the most important key to standing out.

Hygiene

Hygiene should be a basic essential in everyone’s look. Think of it as a foundation for a house, you should be building everything off of hygiene. I know that part of it is genetics, and not everyone will end up looking like Michael B Jordan, but keeping your skin and hair healthy can be done easily. Shampooing your hair every other day and applying conditioner to it will keep it in good shape. Also getting a haircut once a month is important, maintaining shape and shaping up your head will refresh everyone’s look at you and clean you up again. Making sure to shave and trim up your mustache and/or beard is necessary, and if you are looking to grow out a beard or mustache, keeping that in good shape is important as well.

There are many different types of skin routines to pick from, some more effective and expensive than others, but they are all an option. Here is a 5-minute video from Alex Costa giving his basic skincare routine.

Showering every day at least once must not be skipped, especially if you tend to work out a lot. Showering will help with hair and skin, and refresh your whole body, and will make you feel a lot better as well. Also putting on deodorant to block out body odors from sweat is crucial. Girls smelling B.O. off of you will immediately give them the impression that you are unhygienic, and that is the last thing you want.

Body Build

A man who is bigger than everyone stands out in a crowd, and if you want to be that guy, you must be willing to work to get it. Going to the gym at least 3 times a week for an hour a day will help build muscle in your body and make you look better. Everyone is built differently, whether you are skinny or bigger built, but I believe everyone can get gains in the gym and build and develop muscle. Make sure to not work the same muscle back-to-back days, as you will need a full day for your muscles in a group to recover, so make sure you switch from the upper body to the lower body on back-to-back days at the gym. Also, girls take notice of veiny arms. They for whatever reason find it very attractive.

So there you have it, my 5 ways to clean up your appearance and look better. We live in a society where everyone judges eachother off of first looks and impressions, and in order to succeed that way, you must look clean and be presentable, and by following these tips, they will help you achieve that.

Ziggy Crochet Sweater Vest started to become popular by the influence of celebrities. Pictures started showing up on social media of celebrities wearing crochet sweaters.

This clothing brand sells olive oil and other weird things, check out this brand and it’s purpose

woodwmer000 Uncategorized November 4, 2021November 16, 2021characters, clothing, Designer, Fashion, Lifestyle, olive oil, trends 0 Comment

Have you ever been shopping for clothes and thought “Oh yeah I want some olive oil right”? If so then I have the store for you? Brandy Melville is known to be a shop for trends and the basics of clothing. There is more to this story though for example why do they sell olive oil or why does brandy have a part of their store named after a book character they did not write? Most importantly, why do they only sell extra small? Brandy Melville has been hiding the weird and creepy things this company does. Things have recently been revealed and these things are weird. Let’s unravel the mystery.

The Olive Oil

We have all been to online clothing shops before but have they ever sold olive oil. Probably not, right? Well, brandy Melville does and Salivo Marsan the founder of brandy had a family-owned olive oil company. The 16.9-ounce organic olive oil is 25$ per bottle is made on Italy’s San Bartolome family farm. This company was founded in the early 80’s so why do they still sell it? Many people say it’s a tribute to Salivo’s family. People say it’s “ quite tasty” and “very delightful”. The bottle doesn’t have any recognition of brandy Melville, just a green bottle with a chicken on it. This olive oil has gotten quite popular over the past weeks and is selling out because of one Tik Tok video that went viral.

Who is John Galt?

As interesting as having olive oil sold on Brandy Melville’s website it’s even more strange how they got their name. You may not know but brandy Melville has a section of their store called “ John Galt”. Now what makes this weirder is that John Galt is a fictional character from Ayn Rand’s novel. To my knowledge, John played a mysterious character in the shadows. Most people say this is a horrible book with horrible characters and an even worse plot so it’s weird that the founder named it after this character. He might as well have named it Harry Potter or Cindy Lou Hoo. No one knows why he called it this but there are references to John Galt. It’s strange to name a sub-brand after a mystery man.

Only extra small

Extra small is a very unpopular size here in America. So it’s weird when a brand that their main audience is American girls sells only an extra small. Well not for Brandy Melville, brandy only sells extra small and people are very upset and are heated about this. For example, there are multiple youtube videos and articles because this is such a beloved brand. Their company says that “ it helps girls and women get into shape” however we both know this is not the case. Sadly Brandy will probably never change their ways.

In conclusion, brandy Melville is a strange brand, and that people really would love to see it change like if they had more size options. There is still confusion about John Galt and their sub-brand. maybe one day it will be revealed. It’s sweet that Salivo put his family’s olive oil company on his website. That is Brandy Melville and although they haven’t done the weirdest things it’s strange. this beloved brand has gotten a lot of hate recently there is why.

How to pack for a fall travel

jnpdance19gena Uncategorized November 2, 2021Autumn, fall, fall colors, Fashion, Lifestyle, Travel 0 Comment

The most important thing about fall travel is depending on where you are going to travel depending on what you pack in your suitcase. If you are going somewhere nice and warm you typically pack warmer things. If you are going somewhere that’s on the colder side then you should pack stuff for that specific weather.

What are you going to put your clothes in?

That is a great question when it comes to packing things, suitcases are the most common thing. Although You do want a suitcase to take with you, you might want other things too. Such as backpacks, or bigger purses. You are going to need a suitcase if you are going on vacation for five days or more. It’s always nice to have a suitcase and a backpack or a big purse. It’s not always easy finding the “perfect” suitcase or the “perfect” bag, so I’m going to list some great suitcases from the website awaytravel.com. Their suitcases are of great quality and they’re really cute too! They have a pretty good amount of colors to choose from. Colors like black, blue, green, gray, pink, and metallic. There are two different sizes to choose from. Carry on a suitcase, which is a small suitcase to take on smaller travels. Or they have a checked suitcase, which is a medium/ large-sized suitcase that is for bigger travels. They have so many choices to choose from. Their prices range from 225 dollars to 625 dollars. Aways suitcases are a little pricey but it’s worth it.

What’s inside the suitcase?

What are you going to put in your suitcase? If you get a suitcase something has to go inside of it. If you are going on a smaller trip and you are taking a carry-on suitcase it’s not always easy to know what exactly to put in it. Since carry-on bags are a lot smaller than the checked suitcase you obviously can’t pack as many things in them. But you’re not going to need as many things since you’re going on a smaller trip.

It’s a fall trip so we need to pack for that fall vibe. I’ve always thought that fall was all about dark colors, sweaters, and jeans but that’s not always the case. Although that is the fall aesthetic there’s more to that. It doesn’t mean that you can’t pack those things. It’s a shorter trip so we’re going to pack less. You’re going to bring one pair of pajamas for each night, don’t pack extra pajamas because you know that you’re not going to need extra pajamas. I am an over-packer that is just me. I can’t help but overpack. That being said, pack one t-shirt per day that you are there. It’s nice to have t-shirts but you know that you are not going to wear a t-shirt the whole day, especially during the fall time. That being said, pack one long sleeve per day when you are there. It’s going to be cold most likely because it’s fall time. Pack four to five sweatshirts no matter how long you are staying. It’s better to be warm and over-prepared than cold and underprepared. You’re probably going to want at least one coat so go ahead and do so. You probably want pants so let’s talk about pants now. Even if it is cold I always like to bring at least one pair of shorts just in case I work out or something like that. Besides that, I bring one pair of nice casual pants for each day that I’m there and one pair of leggings for each day I’m there. Since it’s fall time I tend to overpack joggers. But it’s a good thing because that’s what will keep you super warm.

Color choices

Color choices are the hardest thing about a fall trip. Fall colors are olive green, sage green, rusty brown, mustard yellow, black, dark purple, and like a cream time color. For your jeans, I would stick to your basic colors such as the typical blue jeans, black jeans, gray jeans, and white jeans or cream-colored jeans. For shirts honestly pack whatever your heart desires. For sweaters or long sleeve shirts, I would stick to your fall colors. Other than that, pick whatever colors you want for the rest of your clothes.

Packing can become a hassle but with these tips and tricks on how to pack for a fall trip your life should have become a whole lot easier.
