Paint the Town Red!

I was a little hesitant wearing this bloody red long-sleeve shirt to work this morning as the color is too strong. Men here in the Middle East most especially in Saudi Arabia rarely wear pastel/bright colors as it is always being associated with femininity. There is a common  stereotype that only women can do/wear this or that. Only women can wear gold. The thing is I have an undying love for bright colors! I went with my guts today by wearing this shirt and paired it with a baby blue leather belt.

Long sleeve shirt: Express, Dharan Mall, KSA
Dyed belt: River Island, Dharan mall, KSA
Skinny fit jeans: Penshoppe, Glorietta, Philippines
Shoes: Aldo, Dharan Mall

A lot of people keep themselves away from pastel colors most especially the color red when in fact it compliments any skin tone. I often heard then that red only looks good on fair skinned people way back home. Color is a must have in your wardrobe apart from having fancy accessories to adorn yourself. 


The supermodel, Alek Wek (one of my most favorite supermodels of all time) have donned red dresses many times on the red carpet just like the photo below:

You'll never go wrong with plain colored shirts and try to collect some with colors as they help achieve a younger, fresher and cleaner look.

 

This photo is taken in front of our office when everyone was busy, good thing my boss had left early ( the mouse plays when the cat is not around as they say). Thanx to my co-worker who was kind enough to pull this off.

So guys! get some clothes of color and don't be afraid to wear them. Wear with full confidence!!! 

Beso!
