DO IT LIKE A DUDE..

A COOL dude.

Ok first and foremost, I don't like that song at all hahaha (for those of you who have no idea what song I'm talking about it's Jessie J - Do It Like A Dude) but I thought it would fit perfectly with this next post. I am in love with this trend, it's been around for a while and has sort of ALWAYS been around. I don't even know what to call it, I'm just going to call it "Cool Dude" trend. But really, I think it's a mix between boyfriend trend and hip hop fashion . You know, boyfriend jeans, sweatshirts, beanies, timberland's, yep the lot. I think this trend is extremely popular because of our ever growing love for the hip hop culture and let's face it.. just looks cool as a mother hugger! So why is "Cool Dude" trend the best thing ever right now? (right now as in autumn and winter)

1. It's super comfortable.
You know those days where you wish you could just wear anything sized XXXL. Well my lady, you can! Cool Dude trend allows you to be fashionable yet comfortable and we all know comfort isn't a word the fashion industry is familiar with lol.

2. You're officially a cool dude.
As soon as someone sees you with a beanie, sweatshirt, boyfriend jeans and kicks, you look pretty damn cool. Now, this coolness can be suddenly vaporized from your style IF you wear things with "Swag" or "Yolo" printed on it. You don't need lame acronyms to make yourself look cool. You're already a cool dude.

3. Wear HEELS for a touch of sass.
Oh lawdy lawd, I love when a strapped heel is thrown into the mixer. This just takes your whole look and turns it into ANOTHER look.

4. Rihanna.
Ok, usually I don't like to talk about celebrities because I don't like to idolize them (geez, that sounded harsh haha) but Rihanna has this "Cool Dude" style down pat.  You can look to her outfits if you need some inspiration.

(Lol @ me just doing that. I should probably warn you all there may be some side effects when owning the cool dude trend. Some of these include saying words like "Na' mean", "Whattup" and sometimes walking with a limp or smoking in slow motion even though you may not smoke, be warned. Lol)
