WEARING BRIGHT!

September 25, 2011

Bright colors are the one that makes an individual stand out or remain barely discernible. It is typically applied in fashion particularly to women, but how about to men?

Normally when we saw men wearing bright colored outfit we implied that they are a gay, having the reason that men do not regularly wear loud or bright colored attire because it is commonly symbolizes femininity. Back in time during the 80’s and 90’s, it was the moment that people are wearing bright colored clothes and it is very trending. It may give the impression of being childish and weird to someone but this modern time, it is now a hip way to show how modern youth, particularly men, can play on their ideas on being trendy. Most men believed that wearing it increases their masculinity because they are brave enough to prove themselves and not afraid of criticisms of people who are narrow minded. Real men can wear it without worrying on having a controversy of being a gay. It makes men stand out from the rest and it is a very successful way to be a magnet for the attention of women. Men look smashing and positive that makes women stare at them and at the same time it builds their strong personality. It is also an endearing look to men who brings interest to the dreary getup that women will definitely like.

This proves that fashion is not only for women, men can also have the sense of fashion. From bright to dull colors, as long as men or women can have the guts to turn it into a glamorous style then no one can prevent them to show what they look.

HAIR IT UP!

September 8, 2011

by Kathlyn Clemente

Hair is the crowning glory of a woman. It is some kind of an asset that makes a woman standout among the rest. Hair needs a lot of attention and caring in order for it to become healthy and shiny. At the present time, many kind of hair styles are artistically created and developed, may it be from casual to glamorous looks. But most of the students have hairs that are fixed casually in the reason of comfortability during class. Also it is simple and easy to fix because it consume less time.

Here are some suggestions that can help you have a stylish yet casual hairstyle that can be worn when going to school courtesy of collegefashion.net and written by Zephyr, the College Fashion editor:

                    1. Slip on a Headband

For an elegant style smooth out your hair with a brush, then pull on a wide headband to cover up messier strands and look instantly polished. Try a shiny patent leather headband in an outfit-coordinating shade for a super-trendy look that’s very right-now.

2. Do a Messy Bun

This is the basic go-to staple for most college girls because it takes two seconds. Gather your hair on top of your head and wrap an elastic band around 2-3 times. Next, shape the bun with a few bobby pins that match your hair color, pull out a few ends to make it messier, and finish with a spray of hairspray.

3. Try Chopstick Hair

This style only looks difficult. It’s actually insanely easy to do. You don’t need actual chopsticks for this look – special hair sticks or even a pencil will work in a pinch.

4. Make a Chic Ponytail

If your hair is curly, use a little anti-frizz cream first. If you have straight locks, scrunch in curl cream to bring out some waves. Tease hair at the crown then pull into a low ponytail. Leave a ½ inch strand out and secure the ponytail with clear elastic. Wrap the extra strand around the elastic and secure with a bobby pin.

5. Do a Front Hair Poof

This popular hairstyle is a great way to hide bangs you might be growing out, and is also very simple to do. Just separate the section of

hair from temple to temple, tease it with a fine-toothed comb and secure with two bobby pins in an X. If your hair won’t stay in the bobby pins, tease the section more or use four pins.

Students can make their own hair style since the youth of today are very artistic enough in making themselves comfortable. Actually many students look fabulous even though they are wearing a simple hair style, because they say that it’s not only on how you look, but how you bring your style into the world.

Rock Out Loud!

August 25, 2011

by Kathlyn Clemente

Rock is not only for music but for fashion as well. Rock fashion emerged during 1960s together with the escalating popularity of the rock music. It is now usually well-liked by the students around the university grounds. The youth’s love for rock music goes along with the love for fashion associated with it.


As I observed around the campus, the common color of a rock “fashonista" is black. Sometimes it has a printed music icon or band which they idolized for sure. Moreover, some students wear dark colored shirts as their new way of promoting rock fashion. One of this, as I seen to most of them the color dark violet is an in thing now. I’ve seen some rock looking students wearing this color of shirt. They get the idea of their fashion style through the music their listening and it is also a big factor on what they have seen on internet sites and television. They also loved wearing ripped jeans and the faddy skinny jeans which shows their stature. The chucks and vans shoes are one of the first choices of the rockers because of its unique styles and colors. Well, the girls have a chic type of rock fashion they play with their dress turning out to be a glamorous rock “fashionista”.


There are times that youths or students who love rock fashion misunderstood by many as rebels. Being a rocker doesn’t mean that they are rebels, as the old saying goes, don’t judge the book by its cover. It is just a fashion statement that proves the creative minds of the students of today’s generation. There is the fact that students are in a stage that they want to express themselves that they want the people around them think that they exist. It is just their own way of proving, how about yours?


Fashion materialize into various type, is it up to you on what type you belong. For now, let’s makes the fashion rocks!
