Cool Halloween Costumes For Women

Halloween is round the corner and you might just be wondering how to go around it. Maybe you should already be thinking about your costume and trying to be creative as well. For a cool Halloween look, ladies don't have to look like freaks or necessarily invest unreasonably in what you already know doesn't impress you. Consider costumes that will flatter you, make you feel good and turn heads as well.
In case you are blank on what to come up with; we all do at times, consider taking up the ideas below:
 
Choose a fitting costume that flatters your body 

Lady Gaga


Something fitting on your body not only makes you feel free and confident, but also shows your feminine side.
Bring out your personality


 Allow the design and make of your Halloween costume to define you. If you feel you have a wild personality; go wild. If you are cool and calm, look like it so won't have to struggle to look like your costume.
Have a sense of colour
For Halloween you have all the freedom in the world to play around any colours. But again you should have a good colour scheme that blends well and something attractive as well. feminine colours like pink, yellow and some shades of blue look very cute.

Try Something new


Just because you gathered a lot of compliments last Halloween in your black body suit, doesn't mean you limit yourself to only that. This time round try shorts or a dress or even a skirt if you can.

How To Wear Shorts- Six Tips For Men

Depending on your age, wearing shorts can be both easy or hard but the power to look good in them lies in your style and confidence. Men planning to wear shorts have a few things to consider before determining which shorts to wear to which place. You also have to know the places where shorts are simply not allowed. Take a look at the tips below;

1.Consider the fabric:
Different fabrics are suitable for different places and occasions. Some fabrics are also not suitable for all weather; for instance leather might not be too comfortable during summer. Cotton and other light fabrics are best kept for the beach or a sunny day. Jeans and khaki shorts are convenient for most weather and to many places.


2.Check the front design: 
 The front design of your shorts determines how everything else falls in place and makes the difference between a cool and not so good pair of shorts. Avoid shorts with pleated fronts unless you are going for a football match. most men look better in flat-front shorts plus you can wear flat-front shorts with almost any shirt including an official one.

3.Size of the pockets:
The size and number of pockets you should have popping out of your shorts depends on your age and the activities you engage in.Multiple oversize pockets are best left for teenage boys. The number of pockets and size should be less with age but that should not limit you from being trendy.

4.Choose your colors well:
The best color of shorts is one that compliments your skin color and/or the color of your shirt. Warm colors such as yellow,orange and brown look good on light-skinned men while cool colors like blue and green look better on dark and white skinned men. Khaki color looks good on most people and also other neutral colors like black and grey. If you have a tan skin color, most colors also suite you; both warm and cool colors.


5.What is the occasion:
You might look good in shorts but you have to get the place right so that you fit in. No one needs to remind you that dinners and formal occasions are not the best places for wearing shorts. Sports shorts also look weird when worn to the beach or when you go shopping in them. If you have to wear sports shorts, make sure your shoes and shirt are also sporty.

6.Be trendy:
 The glamor of shorts lies with trend and style. Try and keep up to date with new designs or wear classic vintage shorts. You shorts might not be faded or torn but learn to keep them aside when trends change.

How Should Men Wear Their Scarfs?

It's the easiest thing to add to your outfit without interfering with your style and the easiest way brighten your looks in a stylish way. When it come to wearing scarfs, men have a very wide variety of style and fabrics to choose from. Other than that you will keep warm and sometimes break the office monotony of wearing your coat and tie daily- its actually not so cool.

What is the best fabric?

The most popular fabrics for making men scarfs are wool, cotton, linen, silk, cashmere, angora and some synthetic fabrics. Wool is very warm for the cold season while linen and silk are very stylish during summer. Whichever fabric you choose, make sure it is not too heavy as heavy fabrics are hard to knot or tie around your neck in style.

What length for what time?

Generally, long scarfs are very easy and convenient to wear for any one because you can tie them in a whole wide variety of styles. Short scarfs leave you with only one way of tying them plus they may not look too cool unless tucked inside your sweater or if they are light enough, tucked a little into your shirt.

How to differentiate male from female scarfs

One very obvious way of picking out a man's scarf is by looking at the color; pinks, shiny and scarfs with glitter designs on them are definitely meant for your girl. You should also not go picking scarfs that have been embellished with beads or flowers. The other way to tell you are wearing the wrong scarf is if it is very huge and you can cover yourself up with it like a blanket. Men scarfs, also do not have scarf pins but they can have buttons.
In short, men scarfs look quite simple and with not so screaming colors; the difference comes with how you wear them.

Different ways to tie your scarf and look stylish

Simple traditional way
Simply place it on your neck and let it flow
The formal way
Tuck in shorter scarfs into your shirt like Brad Pitt here
A loose double flip
Flip it twice round your neck and keep it loose
Tie everything up
You can choose to wrap the whole length round your neck

The modern knot
For a casual look, simply tie a small knot from the back of your neck and leave the rest hanging at the front.

How To Go Colourful With Lip Make-Up

As much as we don't put too much emphasis on our lip make up, it still matters and influences our looks to a great extent. Most of us tend to also prefer a single colored lipstick probably not to look exaggerated but that becomes too cliche if you love style and trend.
When you add some more color or glitter to your lip make up, it brightens you up and you will actually need very little make up on the face. The major thing you need to master is the art of doing your lip makeup to perfection for a final clean and finished look. Just to give you a view of what I'm trying to emphasize here, take a look at the lip make ups I picked below:
Rainbow lips
To get this look you simply need to play around different colors of your choice and to be very cautious with your brush. Remember to finish the look with some lip-gloss to make it more attractive.

Glitter lips


Glitter lip-gloss can be bought or you can make your from home using different ingredients such as petroleum jelly, glitters and honey. You will need to pick the type, size and color of glitter you like for a more specialized look.
Jewelled lips
Instead of having a brightly colored lip-gloss you can just add a few small studs or minute beads on your gloss. Very sexy look.
Going dark!
Did you know you can create a mystery on your face with your lip make up? A combination of black lipstick and another bright color such as red or green makes you stand our and looks very crafty. It's also the easiest lip make up you can do alone at home.

Brad Pitt's Cool Taste With Sunglasses

I f you observe Brad Pitt's eye wear carefully you will see style, class and elegance and they always stand out on his face. He is one of the few men celebrities who have managed to maintain a cool, non-exaggerated eyeglasses style. Even if he is in designer glasses most of the time he never gets anything wrong which could be the secret to his ever charming look despite his age. Maybe you have a hint: check your sunglasses and get the looks! Take a look at some of Pitt's eye-wear gallery below.
Brad Pitt going plastic and gradient There is no better way to wear large plastic glasses than this way; he got the weather and the colors right.
Aviators have become a bit of cliche nowadays but still couldn't bring down Pitt's looks. His color choice here is lovable and we must admit he looks wonderful in gradient lenses.
In case you are wondering which sunglasses frame Brad is wearing here, its Versace - 4153. This is an oversize style that anyone can pull a good look with so his choice here was excellent.
I love the way Brad Pitt wore vintage Cazal 735 glasses with official clothes. It's a sharp, classic and cool look for him and not many can do it as easy as he.
