fashion advice?

slemons

Hi,
Im making a new "me" at the moment and i need some advice about clothes, hair etc.

I've always worn the same type/colours of clothes. Blue jeans, dubarry decks or black slip ons, stripe shirt (mainly cause thats all the shops sell at the moment, although i do have 2 nice black shirts)

I've red hair too, cut short every 3 weeks and id like to get it done. Add colour maybe, not highlights though, maybe lowlights. How would that go with red?

Anyone any tips or places i could go to get good advice?
Im willing to spend a good bit too.


Thanks!

Im half thinking of heading off to the states for a weekend in january and buying loads of stuff.
But ideally id like to get advice before i go so that i can do it right.

Thanks again

are you m/f, and what age group ish? Makes it a little easier. But really look around and see what sort of clothes do you like on other people, or do you look at at and say 'I wish I could wear that' and work form there....

what famous person would you most associate with the style that you'd really like to have?

slemons

dammit! I had a big reply typed out and lost it

Im male and fairly unique...
maybe along the lines of justin, without the hats/ties. I do like figure huggin shirts. Not muscle tops or anything, just the right size.

Im male and pretty unique id say. lol!

I cant really think of anyone that id like to dress like. Maybe Justin, but not the vests and tie's and hat n all.

For example colours? What goes with what? What goes with red hair? I like black. I hate the white stripey stuff everyone wears.

Recently i've been wearing black slip on shoes, (actually i hate them, cheapo river island pair with leprechaun toes, getting new ones today) blue jeans, black figure hugging shirt (I've 2, very expensive but i LOVE them, Overworn now. Need a change), and a white canvas belt (For some reason i always knew this was wrong, but i just couldne be arsed changing it)

So i reckon im gonna go with, new black slip on shoes, neat, expensive.
Casual shoes, like those nushu's they sell in RI
Black or Blue jeans or both
A couple of belts. to match the shoes. A neat black one, a black one with nice distinctive buckle, and a white canvas one to go with the nushu's
A couple of shirts. Def not stripey, maybe a g-star black or green, maybe a short sleeved one
A g-star canvas jacket. Maybe a dark green one?
Some accessories too maybe, a nice chain, wrist strap or something.

Brown goes with red too, and lowlights look cool. Just make sure your hair isnt' cut too short if you're getting them done, it'll look like youre trying too hard

Nice deep blues go very well with red hair too; dark royal blue ornavy or even teal or petrol blue.
