Trend: What Hair for Boys?

What is the trend for men hair in 2010??

"FRINGE HAIR": A hairstyle in which your side hair does not cover your ears and your bangs come down right above your eyes.

Why? It's easy to take care and it looks natural. It's not too short, but it's not too long that it covers your eyes.

Who? For everyone! Young boys, teenagers, adult men. There's no specific age for this type of hairstyle.

How? In any color, with any outfit, in any hair salon! You could give a touch with a little bit of wax or hairdryer to enhance it.

In 2009, this hairstyle was shown with a long bang, but summer is coming, and short bangs may look cooler on you. Numerous Hollywood stars and other stars in the world enjoy this hairstyle.

Trend: Fashion in Japan

I've been to numerous places in the world such as Guam, California, Philippines, Australia, and Bali, but I haven't been to Japan until this week. My sister is currently a senior, so our family went on a trip to Japan, which was actually a senior trip for my sister. We went to Tokyo and had lots of fun, but one thing popped into my head while walking in the streets of Tokyo: fashion in Tokyo. I've also been curious about how Tokyo would be; the people, the shops, the weather, but mostly importantly fashion.

Before arriving in Tokyo, my mom, my sister, and I spent some time in the airport. While observing other people there, I noticed that I was only looking at their clothes! I couldn't resist myself from peeking at others' clothes and the only thing in my head was 'fashion'.



While walking in the street of Tokyo, I noticed a specific fashion item: boots. Especially Japan women seemed to enjoy wearing boots with short pants and stockings. I was amazed at how young and old women all wore boots in subways, in the streets, in the taxis, in the buses, everywhere!

Other than boots, I also noticed how lots of fashion involved laces and flowers. Lots of people wore feminine clothes with laces and pink flowers. I usually don't wear lacy clothes, but I'm planning to wear some soon!

Even MEN. It was amazing how some men in the streets wore flower printed clothes even unlike how men in Korea usually wear black, gray clothes. My mom, my sister and I were both surprised at the scene, but we saw many more men with flowers and laces on their clothes.

Trend: Only for Women?

"Fashion" is frequently mistaken as a word only for women and girls. Lots and lots of men say, "We don't care, it's only girls who care about their clothes." Is it really?

Designers and their brands such as Hugo Boss, Dolce and Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, and Paul Smith, have separate collections for men as well. In the Spring & Summer collection of many brands, there has been a "boom" of check-patterned shirts and vests.

Check-patterned shirts has gained popularity among women and men. In Burberry's 2009 Spring & Summer fashion show, models have showed up with various check-patterned shirts such as red&beige, black&white, and more.

Check-patterned shirts are absolutely popular in the runway, but also in the streets. We can see lots of men wearing them with black suits to establish a semi-formal look or with jean jackets to show a casual look especially for students and teenagers. Matching a colorful check-patterned shirts with a simple t-shirt as an inner layer can be a perfect outfit for the spring.

Vests can be a fashion item for both casual and formal outfits for men. For decades, vests have been a must-item for formal outfits with suits. It adds a chic look to the outfit and it covers the simplicity of a plain y-shirt inside the suit. Grey and black are one of the popular colors of vest among men because it doesn't stick out too much, and it adds unity to the outfit.



Vests are not only for formal clothes; it also matches well with jeans and casual shirts. It establishes a semi-formal look with its perfect match with jeans. Matching the color is an important thing to do when wearing vests. You can wear a check or argyle patterned shirt with the same blend of color vest.
