Onions Have Layers...

Hello, my name is Melina and I'm a layer fanatic. True Statement! Once the cooler weather settles in, I shriek with glee at the thought of layer after layer upon layer. To me it is a different type of dressing that shows so much of one's personality and creativity. I couldn't help but post this video...I love their How To's!

Homme Edition:: Socks...

It appears that genders are sharing trends these days. The first trend to decode--socks. I'm all for the ever so popular no socks with a bold, dramatic shoe but for even more spunk, kick up your shoe game with a fun accent.

1- No socks:: If you want to knock your socks off, show some leg...well ankle. Intentionally roll the hem of your pant shorter than usual, and a messy roll is always welcome.

2- Subtle socks:: Not ready for the bold and the beautiful, no worries. Opt for a sock in neutral tones with subtle prints/patterns. Great with pant hems rolled again, but earn a fashion gold star if you pair suit pants with NO break.

3- Heavy duty socks:: There is no hiding this chunky monkey. For the daring and adventurous tuck your slim/straight leg pants into the socks and scrunch accordingly. Here I would wade in the family of black, white, gray, camel--add texture and depth with socks that are heathered. Evident from the two gentlemen below, the look is cool with boots or sneakers.
