Is coloring cool for Men: Myths & Facts around Mens’ Hair

Crazy Saturday morning with Wella Bloggers Meet, at Select City Walk, Delhi!
And, being the lead StYLIST at StyleSaute has advantages of its own!As you’re already aware of the practical problems that we solve for Indian men here, you’d be excited to see what we reveal in this new blog today.

We sure wouldn’t endorse a product that we don’t genuinely love, but we are so impressed by what Wella offers that we definitely want to put the experience online as soon as possible.

What caught our attention was one of the Key note speakers Maria, who is an R&D expert at Hair color and science technology at WellaProfessionals. She had flown in from Germany, especially for the Bloggers Meet today. Now as much we love talking about men’s style, we are also cautiously aware of what an odd hair color could do to a man’s sane mane. All that Ammonia could do some serious damage to anyone’s hair!

As you’ve already read our numerous takes on, How we think Indian Men should style their hair daily, in a party, or when they’ve got a wedding to attend, however today a lot of our hair myths were busted, for good. 🙂

Stressing on the importance of a good hair color, Wella busted a few myths like

1. Ammonia isn’t really that bad!

It’s actually MEA that’s worse than Ammonia, as it not only is the main culprit behind Hair Damage but is also the main factor for that awful color stink!

2. Hair Color accelerates Greying!

The truth behind Wella is, that it has nothing to do with premature Greying OR hair fall! Hair fall happens due to inappropriate nutrition, is genetic or is a result of microbial attack on the scalp.

3. Hair color damages hair

The truth is that, every color, every treatment, every heat application, and infact every chemical that you apply on your scalp ends up damaging your hair. infact, the increasing chlorine and salt content In water also ends up damaging your hair! so why just blame the Hair Color, when you practically damage your hair every time you shampoo! :-0

Well, the only thing that Wella does is to beautifully color your hair, with minimum damage and hence providing a richer texture than the other brands. wella with its specially formulated color content is best suited for the Indian hair quality that is not as lustrous as the typical RedHeads or blondes.

Unveiling the beautiful hair colors, and the broad  range of hair shades, typically suited for the Indian hair that is rich black, deep  brown and more, we realized that Wella is a perfect fit for our hair type.

So don’t forget reading about our upcoming blog posts on the best mens’ hairstyles to sport, the best mens’ haircuts of 2019 and the best hair color suggestions for Indian Men, courtesy StyleSaute. Read my next post to follow more scoop!

Scorching Summers 2014: What to Wear?

The Objective: To feel cool in cool fabrics while keeping the Style Quotient high.

The Method: StyleSaute helps suggest the Right Color/Style/Fabric for the Scorching Summers ’14.

1. The Trial & HIT!

Amazingly cool-feeling and cool-looking Denim Shirts are just one piece of clothing that can Almost Always make Indian Men look so very sexy.

This H&M Button Down Denim Shirt is going to stay on our minds for-ever!

2. This Amazing Fragile-looking Fabric in Translucent White

White is a color that never, read NEVER goes out of Fashion and this is one big fact that almost all Hot Italian Chicos swear by it. 😉 Read again, Swear-by-it. We see no rhyme or reason why we shouldn’t swoon on this color & fabric combination in our Indian Summers!

The Swear-By-It Linen Fashion for Men

3. Fine Foldable Multi-way Prints

Sometimes the mornings are so hot that you may feel like wearing a sweat-tee instead of a formal shirt! Fine Print Shirts can come to your rescue by cleverly hiding those little crease marks, or sweat patches or just a lousy ironing after-effect by the virtue of a fading in-out print like the one below.

It also becomes a great choice as it can look equally fashionable when the arms aren’t folded & vice-versa.

Fashion Fashion, on the wall; Who’s the coolest of them all?

Readers, you’ve heard of it and you know it by heart now, because cotton has its stories, yes it does. 😉 Cotton made in England, made in Egypt, the Pimas, the Gizas and the super fines! We’ve heard that cotton is a cool fabric and there’s enough cotton in the stores that you can almost spin into not one but many yarns 😉

Enough said, enough seen. And we hate to break it to you, but dear Sirs and darlings, take a stylist’s word for it that there’s nothing cooler than Linen here. Now that’s the beauty- beautiful things are rare and expensive. Linens are generally not freely available and only a couple of brands will store it. It’s a natural fabric however Linen’s texture doesn’t allow a snug fit, so you’ll always find them sewn a little wee bit loose.

Now to ask a Stylist the most pertinent question of all: How should you wear Linen?

Here are spilt the 3 golden rules to wearing Linen-

a. Structure is the KEY. Introduce Linen in a subtle way to your formal wardrobe. Pair a summery linen shirt with your structured trousers

Linen: Structure is the Key

b. All-Linen is super hot. Team an all- linen look for extreme power. A similar shade here and there is a great idea as it will add length and visual interest in your outfit. Preferably, when it comes to ethnics, an All Linen look in same color will look great!

All Linen Look is Powerful

c. Make it look sexy. We haven’t stressed any little on the fact that a great idea to turn around your wardrobe is to try a little ethnic sometimes. Pair a solid Linen (colored/nude/light) kurta with a jeans. Just sport sexy hair with the outfit and you’re a sex GOD. 😉

Linen: Indo-western

Take our word for this and you’d have a Linen-ready wardrobe this Summers. If you need advice on which colors and style to wear according to your personality, then drop us an email at Shruti@stylesaute.com

The ONLY 1 Way to be an Indian Saheb!

Remember the days when having a Moustache were such a symbol of manhood?

We can just remember the Heroes of the lore, who had a Deep Husky voice and wore those Pathani suits! I mean, watch those movies once and your definition of a man gets seriously Hit on the face 😉 Yes, those Dhotis, those Band Gala Kurtas and those Short Pathani suits were the way Men used to look like Men. <sigh> ….those old days!!

Moustache: The Symbol of man-hood 😉

But with all recent heroes like Abhay Deol, Salmaan and Irfaan Khan’s who have worn kurtas in their movies, we’re now so smitten by the casual mens’ KURTA, that we’re seriously looking forward to ‘Saheb Biwi aur Gangster returns’! Supposedly a lot of Manly-Men will be seen. 😀

Look like a True Indian Saheb in a Pathani!

What we are stuck on is, the Rustic look and the LINEN kurtas worn by leading men in the film. Got our hands on this poster above where Jimmy Shergill can’t look more of a Haryanvi land dealer who likes his Madam to ride his Bolero 😉 If you know what we mean!

Pathani Suits are BACK again!

It’s going to be such scorching summers that Linen will be a hit across all segments, formal or casual and we cant tell you how much sex appeal a rustic looking, linen Pathani Kurta brings!

An indo-western touch to a Pathani Kurta!

Well, this one is an instant hit as world over STRIPES are going to be very fashionable this Summer! And, We’re totally buying this one for sure. 🙂 yay!

Band Gala Kurta for men

*Just what you need to look even Hotter in Summers*.

Undoubtedly the MOST superb looking neck style is the Band-Gala. Lest you didn’t notice, Aviators really do it for this Kurta 😉 and so do they do for Saif!

Well, if you guys are wondering “How” to style up your rustic Kurta, just remember these 3 things-

1. Bring on your Aviators
2. Comb your hair back and keep them stayed.
3. Get your own Stylist to create your look here

Life’s a Party: The ESSENTIALS of Casual Party dressing for Men

Now, it’s a Saturday and we all know tonight’s gonna be a good night 😉 but Men are so-o-oo full with work clothes, that you rarely find the right outfit when there’s a casual party calling at a friend’s terrace. I mean, you cant wear too jazzy or too white or too structured clothes cuz the party is on a Terrace, dude!!

So, coming back to the point when you know you have loads of work-wear like Shirts and a few blazers but NO casual stuff for a casual beer-party, but you still want to look good for all those ‘girls’-friends of your friends comin’ over, eh ;-). So, here is our best take on What to Wear to a Casual party.

A Denim Shirt is always handy.

Stripes never go out of fashion. Never for MEN.

Fitted Stripes & Chinos never make a Bad Casual.

Men, ur Beige Blazer works over-time!

No more Designer Suits! Just a Casual men’s Blazer will do.

And, if you don’t find ANYTHING to wear, just say us a Hello at +91 88828 30882 and we could give you a Skype Advice where you show us your wardrobe an we can Quickly suggest you What to Wear! 🙂 Isn’t that cool?

MEN, are You Valentine Victims?

We are wondering how Men ever became these Victims?

How did the day of Valentines, from being a Celebration of love went onto becoming an “Obliged Expression” of love, where Men started to becoming victimized by Demands for roses, Requests for Hugs, Obligation to send Chocolates, Pressurized to Propose, Stifled to send Teddy Bears and Pushed to Promise??

Seven days of the week and all prompted towards Men..? Are Men supposed to do everything it takes in a relationship?

Are they the torch bearers of love, and Manli-ness and Initiative? And women get to enjoy everything without moving an inch of ar@e! It pretty much sounds like our Styling-Service where Men don’t get to move an inch of ar@e ;-)!

But seriously, we are wondering whether how did this happen? How celebrating Valentine slowly became a symbol of having a Heart and being a man, and how having a heart in a Man is now comparable to having balls to Love? Is having enough balls the new symbol of having a brave heart? Do men now need balls to love?

So yes, lets face it. Valentines is lovely no more! Valentines is wonderful no more!

We found this short comic strip from The Oatmeal who make funny cards and graphics, and thought we’ll share this with you! 😉 See what commoners like You and Us think of Valentines now.

😉 Hope you enjoyed our Take on Valentine’s 2013!

Share the funny story with your friends if you want to! 🙂

 

Your Boss sucks! And so does his Sense of Fashion!

It’s time and again that we bump into our Bosses, and most of the times, we fashionable people end up talking about his BAD style of dressing! Not always in sarcasm, but sometimes in pity and sometimes in Mockery as well 😛

hahaha, infact, while we’re writing this, our fellow Stylist-Dev is animatedly talking about Girish, our Tech-Geek who is nicely built, tall and medium set and has a nice pair of back-knockers 😉 but still wears those God-forsaken Cargo pants !!!

And, there he goes today with his loose jeans with a SHINY (!!!) Blazer. 😦 Now, this is A pity. Why, Girish? <We hope he doesnt read our Blog as much as he does spend time on the website!)

Now, lets stop talking about Our Bosses and instead focus on some Bosses we’ve seen around! 😉 Go to these Gyms and the managers sit around with a great body and a chest to die for, but Alas! these young managers think showing off their moobs and cleavage is fashionable But darling readers, #Moobs Suck! and Male Cleavage Sucks bigger :-0 

Alright then, Guys. What we’re saying in a nutshell is, please DO NOT-

1. Wear Over-shiny Blazers. These Blazers are silvery-metallic-shiny-sparkly-satiny! Please Do NOT Buy them and if you did, then do NOT wear them! 😉

Too Shiny for my Eyes!

2. DON’T Wear Baggy pants, or Jeans that dont FIT you or Pants with multiple Pockets! This style is just NOT for 2013 and won’t come around soon anyways 😉

Noppity Noppity, No! Cargos are PAST, man!

Saggies are Gone, Too. Weird :-/. Image Credit, fakeposters.com!

3. DON’T Wear Too-Tight, Leather vests or Cleavage showing Shirts. Men, if you work out & you want the world to know 😉 then Tight Shirts are not the right way.

Working Out? You don’t ned to prove it like this, though! 😉

So, a CLEVER CHEAT SHEET for all of you on How to Spot Stylish Menswear ,

3 Things U Need: Life, Style & a Stylist. 😉

a. Find your Favorite Brands– Brands which fit you perfectly, which fall in your budget range and which speak your personal Style

b. Trust someone in the Business. It’s like, when you trust your friend who recently bought a Civic to guide you on which latest model to buy. Similarly, follow a Stylist or a Fashionable blogger you like, and trust his/her advice.

c. Experiment with Upmarket Brands once in a while. A lot of times, what you want to become is reflected by your clothes. Try including a high-power, high brand piece in your outfit to appear more powerful, more sophisticated at work.

MEAN Machine: Jeans for Men

Miss Baker could bake a lot of cakes and Pies! 😉

Miss Baker baked a lot of Pies, without trying hard at all

Said all the Bakers (Norma Jean Baker aka Marilyn Monroe & Carroll Baker, our hot Hollywood actress) once, that a

Man’s style is defined by the way he wears his Jeans. The way it fits on your back, and the way it swaggers with a man’s waist is a real mirror of how Stylish a Man is.

Well, going by what Miss Baker had to say, we thought of inspiring you with a few STYLE-STYLE-STYLE shots of Men in Jeans we have seen!

Distress Jeans. A little hard, a little fragile. Ideal for Reckless Men of Style.

We have spoken about folded hems and how all types of Pants rock it. Read here

Folded Hem. Ideal for Men of today who work hard & like to show off the shoes.

Faded and Fitted. Ideal for a Man who travels.

White Jeans: Fit & Flexi. Ideal for a Man who’s hi-fashion and fearless. Someone like a Siddharth Mallya Version 2.0

Washed & Scrubbed: Ideal for a Fashion forward Man.

Leather Jeans? Ideal only for Models, tall and Skinny, who carpet walk in LA, NY!

And the last, a beautiful inspiration, for all our fellow readers! This Style is SO simple to get and much easier to flaunt and it absolutely suits our Indian complexion that Hollywood actors cry for a tan themselves 😀

Look Taller. Simple.

An exact word of wisdom on how to choose prints of your shirt, if you want to look Taller!

Too Casual? Not good for your Image!

Here are a few tips on how to dress sharp and to roll-it-like-the-boss at Office.

Now understand please, that these are elementary and many of you might not benefit heavily from the advice but readers who believe that a tee & a slipper looks super-cool on a 30 year old, I must tell you that it doesn’t! 😉 and it’s time you started dressing fashionably at like your age.

Street-Rocker at 30? Not Cool, anymore!

Some Basic Things to Remember when you’re trying to change your image from ‘Street-rocker’ to “Serious Professional”–

Look professional if you want people to take you ‘Seriously’.

• Switch to collared shirts from Tees.
• Wear Pants/Pleated Trousers other than just blue jeans  (Wear khakis, dress pants, etc)
• Shave your beard everyday, Keep a clean haircut
• Stop wearing tshirts with words on them! 😀
• Wear brown and blue socks – always choose darker color tones than your pants
• Wear shoes more often than you wear sneakers… and make sure they look good.
• Match your belt to your shoes
• Buy a formal laptop bag and stop carrying that Reebok backpack to work.
• Get a watch that isn’t digital!
• Gingham. Trust me
• Change your glass-rims from colored to “Black”
• Don’t put an item of clothing on unless it is clean and Iron-ed!
• Limit your use of shorts to a stroll at the market!
• Start practicing speaking in one-line without using too many “kinda”, “like”, “You know what!” and slangs.

Know what is IN and What will Suit “You!”

You know what to do when you feel short of recommendation on What to Wear. Shruti@stylesaute.com can be your friend in distress. 🙂
