Men Style Advice

Hey world!
 I have been slacking on this blog. Olivia and I have been hanging out when I go back home to visit in New Orleans. We came up with this idea to make this a picture only blog. We think it's too much to actually write things and that our readers would rather see visuals more than words. What do you guys think?

So I recieved a question about a month ago from a fellow friend in Louisiana.

Lesly,
I am not the skinniest boy in the world,but I have a little pudge. How can I camouflage this while also looking stylish?
-Thomas

Hey Thomas!
I suggest that you wear vertical stripes. This creates the illusion that you are skinnier plus it camouflages your pudge. Also any other type of prints would do the same thing, just make sure they are not oversized, more subtle and tinier prints. Try the art of Layering!  This helps camouflage also. If you are wearing a V neck(great for a illusion of making you look skinnier, add on a structured vest or a lightweight jacket(bomber style would be great). I suggest not wearing skinny jeans either. Skinny jeans are worn but everybody, but sadly are not made for everybody. If you have love handles or hips, it will emphasize both of them in an unflattering way. If you do do skinny, I suggest a higher rise or more of a bootcut type of skinny., BTW bootcut is flattering on anyone including girls. Try it in a better brand too to get the most for your buck. Investing in jeans is great investment because they last a long time and the better quality the better they will look on you. Just doing these things alone would shave off 10 lbs of you.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
