How to Get a Great Back to School Look
"Wanna be young.. the rest of my life..
Never say no.. try everything twice..
When the angels come.. and ask me to fly..
I'm gonna be 18.. Until I die.."
- Bryan Adams
How many times have these lines run through your mind. Each one of us gets used to the same old boring look that we have and crave for something new. Who wants to wear those boring suits everywhere you go? Wearing suits and 'power clothing' all the time can make your feel pretty darn old at times. So what do you do to feel young again?
Simply speaking, it is what the teens of the day wear to school. Teen fashion is usually hip and trendy and one of the easiest ways to make yourself feel young. Mind you, it is not for those who are not young at heart. It is for those of you who want to try newer things, aren't afraid of a bit of experimenting and most importantly, younger than what their wrinkles suggest! So are you ready to dabble with a bit of back to school fashion?
Get a Great Back to School Look
You'll have to do a little research on what you're going to wear. It is going to be pretty pointless to wear the school stuff from your day, otherwise you're going to end up feeling old again. So in my back to school tips, I'll suggest that you start off by watching some teen flicks like the High School Musical series and other TV shows from the Disney stable. Their characters are characteristically fashionable and the clothes that they wear, sooner or later, become a rage with school kids.
Back to School Guide for Men
Men can try modeling their look around Zac Efron's or Justin Timberlake's. You'll have to start with a haircut and a shave. Usually school kids don't have a beard you know! So start with a clean shave. You could get a really short haircut, or grow your hair long. You could try some crazy emo hairstyles, if you think it'll suit you. The back to school look clothes have a lot of tight clothes, so you should consider tucking in the surplus fat, if any. Shirts are usually cotton and maybe in one or two colors. White shirts are really popular today. Jeans are normally skinny and may be dark blue or black, with fancy looking cuts and stitches. Single colored sweaters would be the way to go in winters. You could accessorize by wearing a cool watch or sunglasses. Make sure that neither tread anywhere near the color gold.
Back to School Guide for Women
Getting the right look for women is a little difficult, because there is just so much that women have to do. Girls these days pay a lot of attention to how they look and hence there is a lot of work that will go into the look for women. You too would need a haircut first. Or actually, you might need to grow your hair longer as long hair is more common these days. Girls are trying to copy the look of Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens etc. Their hair is quite long and curly so you'll need to style your hair similarly. You can leave your hair open or tie it up high on the back of your head in a pony tail. School girls generally do not use much make up, but you might just have to wear a bit of touch-up cream. There is no set norm for the clothes that girls wear, so you just have to keep your eyes open and see what people are buying. You could accessorize using sunglasses and watches. Large sunglasses are in vogue, as are watches with metallic looking twisted arm bands. You could try one of those plastic bangles too. Bags are a must.
So this was all about getting the right back to school look. These looks will make you feel young and are a sure-shot cure if you are bored with your current look.
