This being my first post this year on the outfits section, I wanted to feature the most known trend which is denim on denim. I know their is a rule on how to match denims together so as not to look as if you are trying too hard but I always do what I think is right for me sometimes. One thing that I know is that for this look to come out beautifuly you must match the two denims differently. Go for either white denim with blue or black denim or one lightly coloured denim with one deeply coloured denim.
I went for the second choice which is one lightly coloured denim with one deeply coloured denim( I hope the pictures show the difference...lol ). The top buttoned denim shirt has palm tree prints all over it making it quite unique and different. I matched the top buttoned denim shirt with light blue slim fit denim trousers from TOPMAN, Converse All Star rubber shoes and black framed wayfarers. Have you tried this look before? I think its quite an interesting look to go for if your a person who loves denim :).
CIAO *waves* :)

I have never tried the neckerchief look before, because I wasn't sure how I would look with it. I had looked for different styles on how to wear it and to pull it off effortlessly and finally I got a grip of it :) .
Oozing continental flair, the ‘necker’ will bring a touch of panache to any simple linen shirt and shorts combination. Roll up your sleeves, leave a couple of buttons undone and finish with suede loafers to really nail that look of considered nonchalance that our Mediterranean cousins pull off so well.
That’s not to say the neckerchief should be confined to casual looks. Trying pairing one with lightweight, seasonally-appropriate tailoring – they make a noteworthy alternative to a tie and will be far less stifling in the heat.
Prioritise cotton versions over silk to help maintain breathability and comfort while simultaneously avoiding any dandy or international playboy vibes.
I went for azure blue coloured pants mixed with a white cotton shirt which has more volume on the pocket areas at the front giving it a unique style which I love, brown moccasin shoes and a blue printed neckerchief scarf.   This was my first time trying this look and I must thank the guys at Pitti Uomo this year for wearing this trend and making me want to also indulge in it. I will definitely try out my outfits with a variety of neckerchiefs.
