Sheer Hooded Cardigan @ Diesel Black Gold

I love sheer clothings coz it gives me the feeling of barely there whenever I wore one. When I said 'barely there' it can go in many ways - barely there because it really shows off the body underneath since it's a bit see through. Or barely there because sheer fabric is usually very lightweight, meaning that you hardly feel its wearing you down when you put it on. Or maybe barely there because it doesn't truly protect you much and feel like wearing nothing - comes wind and you'll feel the chill since it's quite meshy to the construction as a whole. The thing is, it takes a major gusto for anyone to really rock in sheer clothings. It's not anyone's cuppa tea - but when you wear one, you'll definitely know what fashion is all about.

I love these cardigans at Diesel Black Gold for summer 2010 which features sheer fabric in cotton-viscose mix. Cotton cardi is always great for summer since the material can absorb sweats better, plus it doesn't heating up the body unlike merino wool. These lots are very lightweight and comes in various colors like grey melange, night blue and olive green. And it's hooded, which making quite a trend especially during this pre-coll for autumn.

The choices how to wear it is up to you. If you've got a great toned pecs or mleavage (male cleavage, that is) that you're dying to show off, just go au naturel on the underneath. For less fortunate like me and some of you... erm, let's wear a nude vest or tee inside for that similar silhouette. :)

TRENDSPOTTING: Biker and Bomber Jacket - The Ultimate Must Haves for Autumn/Winter

Thanks to the bad boy vintage movies starring the likes of Marlon Brando and James Dean, biker and bomber jacket would never be out of style, and has become one of the staple in any man's wardrobe. The difference between the biker and bomber jacket is in the neck detail - the former normally have buttons, while the latter has 'high-neck' or 'turtle-neck' kinda style. Materials such as polished and washed out leather, has always be the favourite coz of it hardwearing. While polyrethane (PU) and coated denims normally chosen for the low budget ones.

These are some of my favourites, be it for the cheapskate like me or if for those who didn't mind their budget goes up the roof!
