For the last 2 decades, top labels all over the world have been competing to show their wild side through the animal prints on their collections. Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, and Burberry for instance are some of the top labels who prove that animal exist on runway. Maybe some of you guys are wondering if there are furs on the collection or not. Well, today I'm not going to take it as a problem as I would like to invite us for a moment to enjoy the beauty of animal prints on an outfit.

Personally, I like animal prints, but I used to say to myself that animal prints were too much to wear at work or another formal events, until I changed my mind...

Is it ok to wear animal prints at work? For me, Definitely!..

Personally, I have several tips below to make you more confident wearing them at work:

1. First thing first, have your own definition of style and be yourself. That's the most important thing. 

2. Choose the colors that suit you. Try to explore as long as it makes you feel comfortable.

3. Well if you think that your office is a jungle, at least you are not. Don't wear more than 2 different animal prints at the same time.

4. It's not always about the shirt, or blazer, or tops. Play along with accessories, shoes or bags.

If you guys already read my previous posts about some pair of shoes you should have here, here, and here, I'm revealing the last pair which I think is going to complete your collection. Check it out below...

4. Sneakers

Though many times are mistaken with runners, or training shoes, I bet everyone loves sneakers to be worn casually in doing informal things. 

Have you ever been in a situation where you met some people you just knew who kept wondering and asking what your ethnicity is? Well, it happened to me a lot. It was just bit annoying when people treat you based on your eye shape, your skin tone, or your hair color perhaps. I don't judge anyway, everybody has their own opinion, right??. But what makes it interesting, ethnicity can be very colorful, fun and elegant at the same time in fashion, which is related to my post this time. 

Well for me, I have some ethnic outfits in my closet and like to wear them walking down town. Below perhaps some ideas for you who would like to try to play with ethnic patterns for your daily outfits....Well, don't ask me what ethnicity this outfits come from...Please don't shower them with some questions used to be asked to me...At least, not the clothes...

It doesn't need to be patterns or paintings all the time, a small part or texture of each outfit is important to define it. Let say obi/sash on kimono, a sherwani texture on Indian clothing, or the worldwide mandarin collar...

Usually most of men don't really care or notice the importance of matching clothes for daily outfit. Unlike woman, they don't like to take the time to think how to pair the tops, bottoms, shoes, watch, or even a bag. To make thing real simple, they would go with something easy to reach when they wake up every morning..

While I don't agree with kind of behavior above, sometimes we really need to help these "casual and simple" guys to at least know how to look attractive when they go to the coffee shop, meeting relation and etc...You're not going to leave them wearing the same polo shirt or plain cardigan whole week, are you??

So, let's go to the next step, whether you are going to ask yourself or helping your friend or your boyfriend, the common question is what is considerably most important for men to wear? (at least according to them..)What?? Yes, TOPS!, men like to go to store to only buy tops. They might have only one pant and 3 tops, 2 pant and 6 tops, and so on. The ratio will always place the need of tops above the rest apparels or accessories. 

According to that, this time I would like to share some ideas below for you guys in choosing your tops outfit where you probably have less time choosing the rest. "Do I still look attractive?" Yes, and the audience will focus on your tops and kinda ignore the rest.

1. Ombre/Dip Dye

3. Sheer
Well to wear this one, you need to have a little courage and high confident level. This fabric is basically made using thin thread or low density knit which results in a semi-transparent cloth. Wear it with casual jeans or dress pant and you are ready to hit the club.. Oh and don't forget to hit the gym first.
